BBI NFL Draft Podcast – Giants Select TE Evan Engram - (
New Window )
Great job you three.
the FA TE can help in this regard as well as an inline blocker.
I am still not sold, though, on this lines ability to keep a pocket clean though for less-than-mobile Manning, long enough, often enough, on simple pure pass plays to justify having no interior run ability.

If you think about it -- this is the same line blocking for Eli when he attempted Donnell with his third most receiving targets, and Tye with his 4th most receiving targets - and what did they do with thse opportunities -- Donnell became a frikken joke and Tye's ceiling was his first year and he regressed from there
Just based on targets alone Engram represents an improvement to those guys, a huge upgrade - where Adams and LaCosse have really not even been able to make it on the field -- he has supper hands and super speed, and shake; he's a TD maker as well as being very physical -- so I don't know what it is you're not buying, but the stuff in your pantry has already expired
sorry about the static -- we are working with cell phone reception which isn't a perfect venue

Hard to listen with that noise.

It's okay. It's like listening to albums back in the day.
I concur. Would listen at work except the walls are too thin so everyone in the office would hear!
It might cost me a corvette also. I bet my son that if Jerry did what I was begging - pass on conventional wisdom & grab Engram in round one - that I would go out on the street & do the jig. Well, I might have to give my son one of my prized cars from my collection, as he filmed it & was threatening to put it on facebook.
ENOUGH FUNNY STUFF-IF I WAS JERRY REESE
Today, I look to grab OL help & if Dion Dawkins slides in round 2, he could be very enticing. In round three, praying Bama's Ryan Anderson is still available, as I feel he offers two values - a great SOLB alternative & one I can also stack on the line in pass rush opportunities
3. LB? or DT
4. DT or Center
5. DT - gigantic nose type
6. RB
7. Corner

Thanks Dave for all of your shared information and analysis, but most of all for your sense of humor. You have been killing me with your jokes. Too funny. Always go for the funny. Never change. =8^D
Let alone you guys doing this at midnight is very much appreciated.
Gidiefor/Dave/Sy
Thank you for everything you do.
Go Giants!
Also, do you think PK from ASU, Zane Gonzales, will be drafted? Should Giants look at him in the 6th?
Could be a big shift this year.
The podcast is GREAT addition to BBI. Content is terrific, great work fella's! Very much appreciated.
Looking forward to the next one. Really guys thank you very much for doing that!
Mental note for Dave: Don't hang out with your Paster during the NFL Draft. That was funny Dave! :)

Thanks -- I was afraid of that -- but it does appear to have more crackle from Sy and I than from Dave Te -- so I'm wondering if it has something to do with our phone mics
We are calling into Tapeacall - and app on my iphone -- not into or from a computer
I love the banter back & forth & Sy does a very good job of analyzing things. I'm on to give insights, but a little brevity here & there makes the whole process easy on the ears. Otherwise, I'd have to use the daft (sic) expert line, "my sources indicate..." get a bad hairdo and make an insomniac fall asleep listening
when I get back tomorrow, I will send you pictures.
All told, 23 vettes, six are 63 split windows, 11 are Lingenfelters, including the first one ever built - a 95 with 1210HP. It's going to be my coffin, wanna be buried in it. Where I'm going. I want a car that can get me the hell outta there!
Like one said - think of it as putting on an old 33RPM. I could just tell Mike to can it, if it bothers you guys, or just ask to listen to the content.
Besides, I think it adds character to the show - 3 guys that love the Giants, care for BBI readers & are trying our F###king best to give you folks something/something a little extra.
I'm not Trump, can take criticism, but if you only knew the trouble & effort Mike put forth on an idea that popped into my head to ask, "hey, you guys to pods" & have him as a neophyte get three shows on already, well, you can't see me (John Cena line? Must be because I'm in Boston), but I'm giving Mike a standing "O" & to borrow a WWE fan saying, if I had to judge the job he's done on such short notice "this is awesome"
You are a true American hero, Sir. My new one anyway.
C6 or C7 in the barn? Do any IMSA weekends in the Vette Corral?
Personally, I would like to see the Giants take a stab at a good kicker late in the draft - assuming one is still there.
Yeah, only Chevys, on GT500 for me. Wife was a traitor-drew a honda SUV, the commie!
All but the two convertibles were manufactured in St Lou, three with dual double barrel for 300 HP. The splits are both manual and are REs.
THe lingenfelters are the freaks. The 1995 was his first one & has freaking mind warbling speed. Here's the stuff Mecum gave me when I won the car. Right now & I've had it close to a decade, it has 16,315. It's my funeral car, getting buried in it. I know where I'm going when I die & I need a fast car to get me the "hell" out of there;
THE 1995 CORVETTE LINGENFELTER
This 1995 Lingenfelter Corvette convertible was one of just six developed by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE for short) in Decatur, Indiana, and is the only vehicle with automatic transmission from that group. This corvette was originally owned by a General Motors executive and has only 16,000 miles since stepping off the assembly line in 1995.
The VIN# is IG1YY22PXS5113700.
This beautiful and powerful car comes with a clean Carfax and Autocheck report. This car is loaded with all the options. This is not your average 1995 Corvette by any means. The original LT1 Power plant produced 345 hp from the factory. Then this car was sent to Lingenfelter for a 510 hp LT1 engine package done in the fall of 1998. LPE confirmed the upgrades were:
Engine removal, inspection and disassembly
Lingenfelter CNC ported & polished LT1 cylinder heads
Stainless steel 2.00" intake valves
Stainless steel 1.56" exhaust valves
Lingenfelter double valve springs, titanium retainers, 10 degree locks & seals
Three angle valve job, checking of spring tensions and heights
Lingenfelter designed Competition Cams hydraulic roller camshaft
Ported and polished LT1 intake manifold
Competition Cams High Tech stainless steel full roller rocker arms - 1.6:1 ratio
58 mm aluminum throttle body
LPE engraved throttle body cover
Professional installation, testing and tuning
Stainless steel exhaust by Corsa
Lingenfelter modified air box lid and K&N air filter
Chassis dyno testing after installation
Automatic transmission shift improvements and higher stall torque converter.
After this car came back from Lingenfelter, it was sent to DFI, Digital Fuel Injection Company and they did a fuel program into the EMC. This allows more gas to be injected. Do a 20 mph roll on and hit the gas and you will be enlightened! The car is near perfect in every way and is complete with two tops – one, a black hardtop and the other, a clear glass top. The back area has attachments to store the top, when you want to use the vehicle as a convertible.
The Black paint is in great condition and has great luster with no imperfections to be found, still retaining its pristine luster. This car still looks new. The interior is immaculate. The black leather power seats are in excellent shape with no wear or holes. All gauges are in good working order. The tilt, leather wrapped steering wheel has no wear to it. The dash, door panels and carpet all look great. The A/C is in good working order and blows cold. The factory AM/FM/CD player sounds great and works with no problems. The interior is clean.
The motor is in very clean condition and runs like a scalded dog! It is a LTI 350 cu in 5.7 liter V8 attached to a smooth shifting automatic transmission with shifter in the center column. This Vette starts right up with a turn of the key with no hesitation. On the road the car performs effortlessly and handles great. On the road this car performs like a champ. It handles and drives like a new car and corners and stops on a dime.
The 17” custom Fiske forged chrome wheels are in excellent condition and are wrapped with 335/35 ZR17 radials in the rear and 245/45 ZR17 radials in the front. There is no curb rash showing. All tires have lots of tread life left.
