Talkin' Giants - Andrew Thomas Interview.

Klaatu : 5/17/2022 8:22 am
Quote:
Bobby and Justin welcome on the New York Giants starting Left Tackle, Andrew Thomas! They talk about his TD reception from 2021, his progression as a player from his rookie year, how difficult it is to play on the line without continuity, fashion, how he responds to critics and more! The guys then wrap up by talking about other OTA headlines & stories.

Interview starts at 5:55

Penick is a fool

“Your the man” he used this phrase non stop. He reminds me of a middle schooler just trying to fit in and gain acceptance from the cool crowd.
Yeah this show

is starting to go downhill IMO.
Skinner OL reviews were decent.....  
George from PA : 5/17/2022 10:04 am : link
Not sure if they are trying to turn it into barstool sports....either way, the other guy has always been annoying....

All the giants “content creators” to be annoying on some level, but at least talking giants gives us some original content. I appreciate those guys. Most of the giants youtubers are god awful.
I'm a fan  
JonnyR : 5/17/2022 10:31 am : link
These guys are the best of the Giants-related YouTube content creators.
Talkin' Giants is the best we got out there.

Don't understand when fans hate on 2 young guys providing more access to players and original content that most NFL other teams would be thrilled to have.
there was one very enlightening moment in that interview  
gidiefor : Mod : 5/17/2022 10:43 am : link
Andrew Thomas called DJ a "psycho" when it comes to the way he goes at defense without sliding

very revealing --

Questions didn't seem rehearsed which is why most of them came off awkward and Thomas is just sitting there waiting.

Cool to see though. Would be great to nab more player interviews, if of course, they did plan it better.
does anyone else see jonah hill 21 jump street  
Eric on Li : 5/17/2022 11:20 am : link
every time the side kick asks a question?

Justin's a goof. He always has been.  
Klaatu : 5/17/2022 11:27 am : link
And sometimes Skinner acts like he's God's gift to the Giants fanbase. However, on balance their content is excellent, which is why I continue to post it here.

Agreed.

you turned me on to these guys awhile back... I love it because they are just two fans trying to make a career out of their fanhood. I'm 100% behind them, even if both guys can be a bit goofy...they are living their version of the American Dream, and I'm happy to support them.

Justin is a diehard fan and Bobby gives pretty good tape info sessions. I actually watched the entire draft with them on in the background...when the Flott pick was made, I was laughing SO hard at Bobby's reaction, ("WE do SO MUCH work on these prospects, and they keep picking guys we've never even heard of!!!!" and he storms off the set hahahaha) I couldn't get mad myself because I was rolling laughing. It was like watching with some die hard buddies...that was super enjoyable and made me like them even more!

From now on, I will always watch the draft with those guys live streaming in the background!

Sure they may not be polished or even professional...but that mirrors me, so why would I talk any shit? haha
Good Interview except  
GiantOptimist : 5/17/2022 1:13 pm : link
They are just bad interviewers, especially Justin. Was just so awkward with some of his questions or what he would say. Still cool to see them get AT who's our best player
They're friendly with Nick Gates  
Lowell : 5/17/2022 1:19 pm : link
and he may have helped get AT to do the interview.
Why are we  
BigBlueJ : 5/17/2022 1:25 pm : link
so critical of every fucking thing that is shared on this board. Can we not just except the Kids are having fun and enjoy the damn interview. "jfc"
They’re fine  
Dave on the UWS : 5/17/2022 1:34 pm : link
they are not professional broadcasters so stop analyzing them like they are.
perhaps if Jomboy sees enough negative comments  
OdellBeckhamJr : 5/17/2022 2:02 pm : link
about Penik, they'll replace him or just let him be the producer and mute the mic. He's too much of a dweeb. I like Bobby a lot though, and enjoy his film reviews.
I like  
uther99 : 5/17/2022 2:09 pm : link
Bobby's film break downs, player evaluations, etc. He seems to understand line play well and admits when he is not an expert on something.

Justin's next gen stat stuff really does nothing for me.
What?!  
GiantSteps : 5/17/2022 3:13 pm : link
Talkin Giants is great, both guys are great. The sometimes goofiness is what makes it fun, but they do their homework, have solid takes, and never deliver a boring episode.

Giants fans have it great with the podcasts available to them. I haven't checked out other teams podcasts, but I'd bet we have the best ones out there. There are like four or five that make the season/offseason tolerable, and Talkin Giants is absolutely in that list of greats. Justin and Bobby do a great job together.
I think  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 5/17/2022 3:20 pm : link
both of those guys do just fine. Doing what they do is hard. And it opens them up to criticism, so I applaud them for being "brave" enough to do that.

There are a couple of other podcasts with decent content. There also seem to be at least a half dozen or more other ones. The market is pretty saturated.
There are quite a few Giants-centric content creators on YouTube.  
Klaatu : 5/18/2022 7:32 am : link
Many more than you might imagine. Most are not worth mentioning, certainly not worth having their videos posted here, and that goes for some that I really enjoy watching, like Tainah and Baddog. It's not that their content is bad, it's just that the same type of content can be found on any number of threads started by posters here. That's not the case with Talkin' Giants, or say, Nick Falato (and I'd say the same for non-Giants creators like Brett Kollmann and J.T. O'Sullivan at The QB School).

So, while I can mock their schtick, I appreciate their insight.
I do like them...  
Brown_Hornet : 5/18/2022 7:56 am : link
...but the guy with the glasses is not a particularly good interviewer. If he watches these and keeps going, I'm sure he'll get better.

Also, wear pants or put your legs down...

It really is ridiculous. There is some REALLY good content in this vid. Talking about correcting getting beat to the inside. Ankle recovery. Meeting Evan Neal. Comparison to the tackles he was drafted against. Etc. Etc.

Great interview. IMO.
