In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob break down all the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the NY Giants as the team faces continued struggles in the 2024 season. From the offensive line situation to owner John Mara's rare public comments, the hosts cover everything New York Giants fans need to know today.

The episode kicks off with an in-depth discussion on the New York Giants' ongoing issues at left tackle. With injuries derailing the offensive line, both Joshua Ezeudu and Chris Hubbard received practice reps at left tackle this week. Drew and Rob analyze head coach Brian Daboll’s comments about giving Ezeudu the first shot to solidify the starting spot, while also keeping an eye on Hubbard’s potential contributions. Daboll was notably vague about the team's plans, leaving the door open for further changes. The hosts also discuss the recent visit by free-agent left tackle DJ Humphries, who seemed like a possible addition to shore up the line. Daboll acknowledged Humphries’ skill but made it clear that nothing was imminent, leading the guys to wonder whether the Giants will actually pull the trigger on adding help or continue to shuffle their existing players.

John Mara, the longtime owner of the New York Giants, made headlines by preaching patience to frustrated fans during a screening of the NFL Films documentary “The Duke,” which highlights the legacy of his father, Wellington Mara. Drew and Rob break down Mara's remarks, where he reaffirmed his commitment to head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, despite the team's struggles this season. The hosts discuss what this means for the future of the team and whether fans can really afford to be patient after a decade of inconsistent results.

The conversation shifts to quarterback Daniel Jones, who has been a frequent subject of criticism as the Giants’ offensive struggles continue. Mara declined to give a detailed assessment of Jones' performance, leaving Drew and Rob to dissect the quarterback's challenges this season. The hosts note that the offensive line’s poor performance has hampered Jones’ ability to play effectively, but they also question whether he has the tools to lead the Giants in the long run.

Next, the hosts dive into some exciting Hall of Fame news, discussing former Giants stars Eli Manning and Tiki Barber, both of whom have made it through to the next round of Hall of Fame voting.

The show takes a sharp turn as the hosts react to some stinging criticism from Bill Belichick, who too
