Big Mac on Giants' Playmakers and Mets' Search for an Ace

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Watch out, here I come.
This could be the wheel song, actually. It's not a bad idea.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)
Why ruin a good thing, though?

**Craig Carton** (0:10)
Yeah, it's a good point.
Well, we do the wheel again on Friday. We could do it completely different. We could play this instead. It could be the Big Mac solo wheel.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:21)
It's your night, bro. It's whatever you want.

**Craig Carton** (0:23)
That's right. That's right. Did anyone who played the wheel while I was away?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:29)
Just Pugh played and Damian Woody.

**Craig Carton** (0:31)
And then Damian Woody.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:32)
Who he pulled to you when he just made me and Hoff fail at it.

**Craig Carton** (0:36)
That's the easiest way to win.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:38)
And then Justin Pugh stared me in the eyes as he named off 70 football terms.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:43)
700 football terms, yeah.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:46)
It's a lot.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
It's a lot.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
What's your favorite? Did he say anything like that was unknown to you or?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:52)
We found out Hoff doesn't know what the Duke is.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:54)
You don't know what the Duke is, huh?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:55)
Yeah, I screwed that up. There's always at least one thing I screw up.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
You should know what the Duke is.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
Do you know who he was named after?

**Craig Carton** (1:05)
I feel like I want to say this.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:07)
Say it.

**Craig Carton** (1:09)
No, I don't.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:11)
Well, you do.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:13)
Duke, you just had it, you were going to say it.

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
Was it Martin Mara?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:18)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:18)
Okay, so I didn't know that.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:19)
We got him, he was like Duke and I was like beef and he got it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
Yeah, they were like, someone signs your paychecks, relation, and I was like, huh?

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Yeah, I thought it was Martin Mara, but I wasn't 100% positive. See, I knew it though. And I'm on camera, so I didn't look anything up, didn't use my phone.
It came to me.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:38)
You had it, you said well and you were like, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
Yeah, I thought that was wrong. But it was right.
And who's going to get the Duke? As I just talked about, it's important that Malik Nabors is back. You look at this wide receiving corps, it's going to be nice to see Odell Beckham Jr. Glad he's wearing number 13, Malachi Moore in 88 Right now, that's what we're talking about. We're talking about what jerseys they're wearing. You know why?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:00)
Because they're not very good.

**Craig Carton** (2:02)
Let's be honest, I don't know what to expect from Odell Beckham Jr., the fan, WFN fan choice poll, like I just told you is, is he going to be an impact player? He better be.
Because right now, I mean, I like the Mooney signing. Apparently, Camp did not go great for him. I don't have a ton of confidence in him. Slayton is still here. That's not a great wide receiving corps. We know the wide receiving corps is down. Jackson Dart not only has to win games, and again, I think the first two games are so important against the Cowboys and the Rams, which defense, depending on whether or not Donald plays in that game, is going to be as good as it gets in the NFL, and certainly in the NFC.
Two huge games against the division rival and the best team in the NFC.
And he's got to also establish that he's the next quarterback in the next 15 years for the New York Giants. Like, Nabors is such a huge piece. He played one half with him in the Charger game. They need to be out there as much as possible. It's got to start week one. He went back out for practice after he didn't practice the first portion. It's... Look, you don't do anything that jeopardizes his health, but it is so important to win these games, and that connection is going to be so important. He's got Likely, and that's it. It's Likely and Nabors are the two legitimate weapons on this team. Outside of that, it's Depth guys, and don't even know how good they are.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:28)
Well, I do think, is it safe, if Nabors is healthy, and I also think Theo Johnson gets underrated. He dropped a lot of balls last year.

**Craig Carton** (3:36)
Yeah, that's the only problem with Theo Johnson. He has trouble holding on to the ball.
