In this episode of Bleav in Giants, Carl Banks and Bob Papa recap the game against the Cowboys, paying special attention to the defensive breakdowns that occurred late in the game. They highlight the struggles of the Giants' defense, particularly their poor execution of zone coverage and lack of communication, despite the high level of talent and significant financial investment in that area. Banks emphasizes the need for accountability among both coaches and players, insisting that the issues are collective rather than the fault of any one individual. He breaks down critical plays, including the notorious late-game zone coverage collapse, and points out recurring problems with penalties and lapses in discipline at crucial moments.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
