Somehow, the Saquon Barkley-New York Giants' divorce got more confusing during Episode 2 of Hard Knocks - Offseason.

The New York Post's Paul Schwartz joined 'The Drive' on Tuesday to share his thoughts on Saquon Barkley's departure from the Giants, and more.

Brian Daboll is on thin ice after a rocky 2023 season. He can turn things around in New York, but he has to make this change.

The Giants have played themselves back into playoff contention with a 5-8 record which is pathetic but true.

To start, let's quote (courtesy of friend of 'The Drive with Charlie & Dan', Darryl Slater of nj.com) New York Giants offensive tackle, Evan Neal, “Why would a lion concern himself with the opinion of a sheep?...The person that’s commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere?”

No Big Blue fan is going to sugarcoat it. New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones made some terrible mistakes on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. But, what should really worry the fanbase is head coach Brian Daboll.

It may be a new season for the New York Giants in 2023, but the same problems the team has had with their offensive line are haunting them once again.

The New York Giants kick off their 2023 season on Sunday night on primetime television, against their nemesis, the Dallas Cowboys. Some may look this game and say 'oh no', while others embrace Big Blue's opportunity to change the narrative on their football team.

There is little question that New York Jets' quarterback Aaron Rodgers has absorbed as much of New York's NFL Spotlight as humanly possible. Rodgers will be a Hall of Famer five years after he retires and the Jets stink. 'Hope & Misery' always dominate Big Apple headlines. However, football fans may not want to sleep on the 'other' New York quarterback, who, lately, appears ready to flash his own arsenal.

As the New York Giants made the University at Albany their summer home from 1997-2012, those that worked in the Great Danes' athletic department enjoyed a firsthand look at Big Blue's internal operation, the heartbeat of any team. Gauging from Saquon Barkley's about-face contract Tuesday, things haven't changed much.

When you turn down about $20 million in guaranteed money in any profession, people are going to question your decision. When the criticism comes from a person who had the same job and was tremendously successful at it, the assessment carries a little more weight.

NFL players have until 4pm Monday to sign their franchise tags or negotiate new contracts. Few teams may have as much riding on this deadline as the New York Giants.

The New York Giants already have a number of fan-favorites on their roster, and Leonard Johnson is about to join that group after fans learn his wild story.

Paul Schwartz of The New York Post told The Drive with Charlie & Dan on Wednesday that the New York Giants were moments away from a QB contract disaster.

The New York Giants have a lot of needs going into the official 2023 NFL season that begins on March 15th. As the calendar turned to the third month of the year, besides paring down rosters to create room under their salary caps, team personnel were ensconced at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, searching for their future stars in next month's NFL Draft. Big Blue, like many teams, are looking to beef up their defensive line.

In his first season as head coach of the New York Giants, Brian Daboll was named the NFL's AP Coach of the Year on Thursday. A well deserved honor for the former Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, as he transformed a 4-13 mess into a playoff team, with help from his general manager, former Buffalo Bills' assistant GM, Joe Schoen.

A pivotal offseason awaits the New York Giants, and the decisions made by GM Joe Schoen will say a lot about where the team is headed under the new regime.

Daniel Jones has earned the chance to be the New York Giants' QB of the future, but for that to happen, he'll need a new contract, and this is what he's worth.

John Mara is president and CEO of the Giants. Mara is the person that most Big Blue fans recognize as the team owner. The other owner, Steve Tisch, is the team's chairman and executive vice president. However, Tisch has spent most of his tenure in the behind the scenes, especially over the past few years after suffering a loss of his daughter in August of 2020. Following the Giants' 31-24 victory on Sunday, the 73 year-old film and television producer had some enthusiastic words about his team.

Davis Webb started his collegiate career at Texas Tech University for three years, playing 10 games in his freshman season and sparingly the next two. Webb transferred to Cal to be the starter for his senior year. In 2017, he was drafted by the New York Giants in the 3rd round. Then general manager Jerry Reese thought the 6-5 Texan could possibly develop into the heir to Eli Manning's quarterback throne. As we know, that didn't work out. On Sunday, Davis Webb had the job of filling in for Daniel Jones, as the Giants rested 19 of their starting 22 players, in anticipation of next week's playoff game against Minnesota.

Those NFL fans that believe you have to have a top draft pick to rebuild your team have not watched the New York Giants this year. So, why do some teams "appear" to tank a season to get the top pick, like the Jacksonville Jaguars "appeared" to do in 2020? The Jags ended up with the much-hyped quarterback out of Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, notably a franchise changing player. The Jags have a chance to make the playoffs this year. However, the tanking philosophy may have cost the Jacksonville fans at least 5 years of playoff football.

NY Giants' OC Mike Kafka has come under fire for his play-calling, and while he hasn't been perfect, blaming him alone is wrong for Giants' fans to do.

Tigers don't change their stripes. Just like selfish people don't often change. It happens but not often. So, when former New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane on Sunday morning for nothing more or less than complete selfish behavior, red flags should have been flying for Big Blue general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.

This is no secret. The New York Giants need some offensive production. In week 8, prior to the bye, the Seattle Seahawks held quarterback Daniel Jones to 176 passing yards. That's not an alarmingly low number. However, when the total number of offensive yards totals 225 for the game, then the Giants have an issue they need to address.

New York Giants fans are enjoying their team's incredible turnaround. With a 6-2 record coming out of the bye week, Big Blue fans realize that a playoff birth is more than within reach. That is if the Giants can continue to play above expectations and win the games they "should" win, like against the Texans and then the Lions. If head coach Brian Daboll and company continue to hold serve, Thanksgiving Day at 4:30pm could be an epic holiday battle in Dallas. Who would have thought that at the start of the season??

The Giants didn’t make a trade at the deadline, and I understand why not. They are just not good enough this season to make a big move and give up a lot.

Since the turn of the century, there have been some constants in New York sports. The Yankees are most likely to be pretty good and make the playoffs. The Giants will win a Super Bowl every decade or so. The Mets are bad, ok, good and then will collapse and now seem really good. The Jets are terrible and yes, they won on Sunday but have a long way to go before that classification is lifted. I will provide Robert Saleh a receipt for that statement for his files.

Can the Giants get off to a good start this season with a win at Tennessee to open the season? They have notoriously started out of the gate slowly.

The NFL season starts this week. The never-ending water-cooler talk about the Giants, the Bills, even the Jets, begins in full swing, as the final minutes of true summer dissolve Labor Day weekend. School is back. Summer hours are over. So, who are the 10 New York Giants you should know about to keep up with the conversations this fall?

By answering who is the best of the worst, you are also answering who is the worst of the worst. The Buffalo Bills without question are the best football team in New York. Many will argue that they are the only football team in New York but that is a discussion for another day. The New York Giants and the New York Jets go into 2023 with major question-marks surrounding their organizations. Forget the excuses, which team will have the most wins at the end of the season?
