Pepsi Max, D thirsty for more welcome back it's the big

blue banter new york giants football podcast i'm dan schneier joined as always my co-list nick volato today we're here

to break down the all 22 film the giants defense against the Panthers in their loss in Germany. Well, Nick, the Giants defense went

45 minutes and allowed just seven points in a 45 minute span in this game. I thought that was

incredible. At the end of the first quarter, they didn't allow anything more than a touchdown

the rest of the way. So that was something that stood out to me about this defense. But the key takeaway, I think that we all have is,

man, this run defense, it's a problem right now. And it's a struggle for the Giants right now. There was a

moment where they looked, at least midseason, I thought, where they were in, everybody was kind of

playing together from a run defense standpoint and playing in sync.

That seems to have gone the wayside.

I think with the exception, Tyler Nubin and Dean Belton got a lot of run in this game,

the safeties, man, they need a lot more from the safeties in the run game.

I put a couple clips up online of just really, really bad plays from the safety. The one play where Dane Belton is like coming from the right hash and cuts all the way inside and allows Hubbard to go for an extra like 12 and Burns has to like track him down from a D.N position and gets himself hurt and then Flot also gets hurt because Flott's trying to come make a play on it. It's like two injuries happen because Dane Belton couldn't just cut off a run.

You have banks and run support, not making the right play, not containing runs.

You have all sort boxing them back in.
