The First 53 Roster Cutdown: Turbo Miller, Devito, & Smith-Marsette and what could change

Bob Papa and Carl Banks break down the New York Giants’ first 53-man roster after NFL cutdown day. They discuss the reasoning behind several surprising cuts, noting that some talented players, such as Turbo Miller and Tommy DeVito, were let go mainly due to the “numbers game” and roster math, rather than performance issues. They highlight areas where the Giants may still seek upgrades, especially at cornerback, safety, and possibly wide receiver. They also discuss the improved talent level on the roster, the evolving linebacker group, and the coaching staff’s strategy for developing young players. 00:00:02 Reaction to Giants’ initial 53-man roster 00:04:07 Cut decisions and “NFL math” behind roster moves 00:07:55 Potential waiver wire targets and vulnerable positions 00:11:50 Inside linebacker depth concerns 00:14:10 Clarifications on injured list and active roster status 00:15:14 Questions about Hunter Renfrow, practice squad possibilities 00:18:12 Thoughts on undrafted rookies and developmental players 00:22:05 Offensive improvements and coaching approach 00:24:11 Wide receiver depth and possible upgrades 00:26:00 Performances of cut linebackers and practice squad outlook 00:27:53 What the defense is seeking at linebacker and safety 00:31:08 Rookies and veterans to watch in the upcoming season 00:32:48 Impact of seasoned QB play on wide receivers 00:34:42 Trey Hawkins & roster decisions 00:35:18 Isaiah Simmons’ fit and roster philosophy 00:39:55 Burns Thibodeau and Carter lineup packages 00:41:23 Tommy DeVito’s future and possible landing spots 00:46:46 Importance of backup roles and narrative around DeVito 00:48:07 Kayvon Thibodeau’s value and reasons to keep top edge rushers 00:53:07 Shane Bowen’s defensive philosophy and scheme 00:56:01 Tight end situation and numbers game 00:58:00 Discussion on Christian Wilkins and why his signing is unlikely 01:01:25 Starter upcoming deal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
