Summary

Carl Banks and Bob Papa break down how the Giants are building a tougher, more competitive roster under Coach Harbaugh, especially on defense, with added depth and veteran leadership. The conversation centers around raising expectations across the roster, from stopping the run to eliminating costly mistakes and dropped passes. Carl explains why “the attaboy era is over” in New York, emphasizing that every position must now earn playing time through competition and accountability. The episode also previews the Giants Town Hall event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Super Bowl team.
