Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banner, New York Giants football

podcast. I'm Dan Schneider. Joined as always my coist Nick Philato and we're

reporting to you live after Nick was at Giants Camp again for the first day of joint practices with the Detroit Lions.

Detroit Lions are a team that broke out in 2023, won their division and then made it all the way to the

NFC championship game.

In my mind, they probably should have won that championship game.

Questional coaching decisions in the second half,

some that will be looked back on,

but also just like overall, I feel like it was just

the Niners had been there done that the Lions hadn't so it was kind of one of those situations

where they weren't able to close the deal but clearly showed they can compete with any team in the

NFC or probably one of the best teams in the NFC.

So I'm going to want to focus on that,

but we're not going to bury the lead here, Nick.

Tons of fights today.

One that had Daniel Jones involved where Jones kind of

Interjected himself and got in the middle of it and then it almost immediately a giant somebody worked for the giants pulled him out of it like what are you doing dude you have a red jersey on why the hell are you doing it but at the same time

as teammates love it everybody loves that dog and him it's been like that for a while

now Jones has had that since 2019 he's run through piles he's taking on extra yards running with the football as a scramble and we've seen his teammates embrace it time after time again

So I don't think this is anything new, but at the same time there's new teammates on the team and they're gonna love to see it like Malik neighbors and like Brian Burns who discuss Jones's fight or the fight he was involved with I should say after practice

But according to you Nick there were like seven fights at this practice.

So I think the teams today are incredibly physical joint practice of the Lions, a lot of fights,
