Veteran NFL defensive coordinator Wink Martindale says John Harbaugh's Giants should trade for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor -- if the money works and he's available - "in a heartbeat" because "you have a chance to win the NFC East" in our Week 7 episode of Wednesdays with Wink on the Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard YouTube channel.

Wink breaks down the quarterback decision between J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston, analyzes D.J. Reader's postgame comment about the Giants players' mentalities and looks ahead to their road game against the Houston Texans.

Wink also makes an intriguing pick for his Upset of the Week in Week 7: the Cincinnati Bengals over his former team, the Baltimore Ravens! And he explains why.

Wink Martindale tells it like it is in our Week 4 episode of Wednesdays with Wink on the Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard YouTube channel! The veteran NFL defensive coordinator says Giants QB J.J. McCarthy is a "buyer beware" situation that requires "patience" from Giants fans. "Is he going to be Troy Smith, or is he going to be an NFL quarterback?"
