Craig Carton (0:00)

22 Carton Show Big Mac.

Chris McMonigle (0:04)

So we do have a little giant news, if you'd like to hear it.

Craig Carton (0:08)

Go ahead.

Chris McMonigle (0:10)

Cornerback Paulson Adibo is being put on IR. So at least with the attention of returning, I believe that's four weeks without Adibo, right?

Craig Carton (0:21)

Okay.

Chris McMonigle (0:21)

So that, I mean, he kind of lost the starting position, but still a defensive backfield doesn't have a ton of depth. And cornerback Dante Banks, Deontay Banks has a calf muscle is considered day to day.

Craig Carton (0:34)

Okay, so you still have three days.

Chris McMonigle (0:36)

Yes. And defensive coordinator, Dynard Wilson, was not at practice today for a personal family situation.

Craig Carton (0:43)

All right. So hopefully everything's okay.

Yeah. All right. But that's not even news. That was just a waste of my ear space.

Chris McMonigle (0:50)

Adibo's going on the IR, so they don't have them.

SPEAKER_3 (0:52)

Okay.

Craig Carton (0:54)

You concerned about that?

Chris McMonigle (0:55)

I'm not concerned about it. It's newsworthy. He's there, he's there, he's there.

Craig Carton (1:00)

See, this is the problem, if I may. Not to be a bully or anything.

Your game's on Monday.

Chris McMonigle (1:06)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:06)

This is what you do. Because you guys think as giant fans, oh, that we're second citizens.

Chris McMonigle (1:11)

It's injury news.

Craig Carton (1:12)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:13)

If someone on the next team is injured, they're not playing until October.

Craig Carton (1:16)

Banks is playing. Banks is playing. You don't know.

Chris McMonigle (1:18)

I'm just saying he's day to day. He didn't practice today.

Craig Carton (1:21)

Today is Friday.

Chris McMonigle (1:22)

So I'm just telling you what's going on.

Craig Carton (1:23)

You got Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Friday, Thursday. Michael, look, I got it.

Chris McMonigle (1:27)

Saturday won't be on the air. Monday won't be on the air. Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:29)

How about Monday? Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:30)

But we'll...

Craig Carton (1:31)

So on Monday, right now, let's focus on the team that's playing on Sunday. We've done so much giant talk here. It's like we forget the Jets exist.

Chris McMonigle (1:37)

I didn't just come in with, like, hey, you know, the quarterback, I expect him to do this or that or like some sort of nonsensical giant news. They just put a player who's important to the defense on IR.

Craig Carton (1:48)

Okay.

Chris McMonigle (1:49)

Okay.

Craig Carton (1:49)

Yes. Thank you. I appreciate the update enough. Thank you.

Chris McMonigle (1:52)

You're welcome.

Craig Carton (1:52)

Write that one down.

Chris McMonigle (1:53)

Write it down. Poulsen and Debo.

Craig Carton (1:55)

Say it again.

Chris McMonigle (1:56)

A Debo.

Craig Carton (1:56)

A Debo. You guys hate a Debo anyway.

Chris McMonigle (1:59)

No. They signed him free agency last year. He's not a starting cornerback anymore.

Craig Carton (2:03)

Right. So what am I worried about? A backup defensive back is on the injury list.

Chris McMonigle (2:07)

Because the last team was...

Craig Carton (2:08)

Oh, my God. What am I possibly going to do?

Chris McMonigle (2:10)

Did I say they're going to lose the game? They're going up against Matthew Stafford and the Rams.

Craig Carton (2:15)

Backup cornerback. Right.

Chris McMonigle (2:17)

I understand that.

He sees the field, though. He does. And now, if an issue with the knee, which Dante Banks has...

Craig Carton (2:25)

He's out, you said, right? No, Banks is day to day. Banks is day to day. A diva is out.

Chris McMonigle (2:29)

But if an injury happens, now we're going to our fourth string. Uh-oh. Cornerback.

Okay.

Craig Carton (2:35)

Uh-oh.

You're probably not going to beat the Rams anyway. I mean, you might. They play like crap against the Niners. Kind of a must-win game for the Rams. They can't get off to an 0-2 start.

Chris McMonigle (2:45)

Can't afford to lose this game.

Craig Carton (2:46)

It's going to be an interesting week next week if the Jets beat the Packers.

Hopefully, the Giants beat the Rams. I'm rooting for them. I want the Giants to be 2-0. I want an undefeated football town. I do. And if you think Buffalo's part of New York, apparently, they think they're part of Canada and not New York, which is why the only thing I could figure out as to why they played the Canadian anthem yesterday and didn't lead with our anthem, which was mind-bogglingly stupid and tone-deaf by the NFL, especially since we're fighting with Canada right now over tariffs and whatnot, and we curry favor to our neighbors to the north, like are the Dallas Cowboys going to play the Mexican national anthem before their next home game because they border with Mexico? Probably not. Probably not. So I don't know why Buffalo and the NFL thought we should play the Canadian national anthem. We weren't playing a Canadian team, right? And I respect that. If you're playing the Toronto Raptors and you want to be respectful of one of the 30 or 32 teams in the league, I don't like it, but I understand it.
