As the regular season comes to a close, the Talking Giants crew, hosted by Bobby Skinner and co-host Justin Penick, is left to reflect on the season that was and ponder the future of the franchise. This episode marks the conclusion of their coverage for 2023, and naturally, it includes discussions about team management, player performance, and upcoming draft strategies.
In this session, Justin expressed mixed emotions about the anticipated uncertainty within the Giants organization. With Joe Shane, Brian Daboll, and other key figures' roles potentially wavering, the two hosts engaged in predictions about who would retain their positions. Historically, decisions surrounding head coaches and GMs in the NFL can be tumultuous, and the Giants appear to be on the cusp of a critical juncture.
Both Bobby and Justin agreed that Joe Shane would likely keep his position, although they expressed their dissatisfaction. The rationale behind this speculation included John Mara's reluctance to overhaul the GM role, as the decision could lead to broader organizational changes. Justin noted that Mara may prioritize comfort over necessary changes, which could mean that Shane stays on board despite the team’s struggles.
As for Brian Daboll, there was less certainty. Bobby and Justin suggested that, although Daboll might have a chance of fighting for his job with a good game plan, the overall sentiment leaned towards him likely getting fired. This includes concerns that if Shane was retained, he would not recommend retaining Daboll, which could lead to an awkward and ineffective organizational structure.

Discussion turned to personnel management, particularly regarding Mike Kafka and Shane Bowen. Bobby speculated if Daboll were to be retained, Kafka might be let go if the Giants felt a fresh start was necessary. It was an intriguing look into the potential reshuffling of coaching staff that often follows a disappointing season.
The conversation delved into rosters and player performance with emphasis on the need for youth and talent evaluation. Bobby expressed hopes for a more exciting offseason, where the team could reevaluate its needs and prepare adequately for the NFL Draft. This period of transition is crucial, and listeners can expect deeper analyses of player performances as the talking Giants team evaluates each player's future in the organization.
Before transitioning into the annual Tony Awards for Giants reporters, Bobby took time to express gratitude towards their listeners.

The listeners were presented with an insightful look into Giants’ reporting, showcasing different perspectives, including their own preferences in reporting style.
