BT & Sal go off on Giants linebacker and third overall pick Abdul Carter, discussing off-the-field issues that sources say stem from excessive drug use, which has reportedly led to him falling asleep in meetings and showing a clear lack of professional commitment.
Tierney and Licata debate the new prevalence of THC use in the NFL and argue that while the drug itself is less harmful than alcohol, Carter's problem is the "trifecta of failure": poor production (just 1.5 sacks in his rookie season), repeated disciplinary issues (benched twice for missing team obligations), and a failure to prioritize his career. They question why the Giants organization, from the previous regime to interim head coach Mike Kafka, allowed these character flaws to fester and whether this now looks like a "disastrous pick." The segment ends with a sharp comparison: Lawrence Taylor had his issues, but he was the greatest defensive player ever—Carter has zero production to lean on.
