Thomas and Toney

AdamBrag : 10/17/2021 4:45 pm
Why were they playing this game?

Reports were that Toney did not look 100% pre game.

Thomas has barely practiced in two weeks and it seemed he was rushed back.

Playing either of them today reeked of desperation. It does not seem like the coaching staff is doing what's best for the players.

Same with Jones

Call for desperate measures.

Great question.

Toney didn’t make it past the first drive. Organization is joke. They can’t do anything right.
The cuts Toney was able to make being injured were amazing

So there's a positive spin on that.
Medical staff gave the ok

it was their only chance. The season was lost 100% after the Dallas game. And now most of their young pieces that need to develop are out injured so their going to go into yet another season hoping to get something out of unproven players.
Jobs are on the line...

Judge and Gettleman are on the hot seat (DGs should be an inferno) . Self preservation...
Can’t speak to Thomas

But did no one pay attention on Toney? The previous injury was his left ankle. He was cutting fine on the catches he had. The injury today was him rolling his right ankle (the non taped one) when he went out of bounds inside 20.
Because it is football  
Giantimistic : 10/17/2021 4:54 pm : link
and players play injured from the first game through the end of the season.

If they are cleared than they are cleared to play. Although this is not the old days, players still want to play and will play hurt.

Because it's the NFL and the players are disposable

designed by the CBA to be used up and tossed away with as little cap hit as possible.

A really smart organization looking at the big picture might have held both of them out. But most NFL teams/coaches would have pushed them to shoot up and play. Thomas was limping as soon as he got out there.
Metlife Turf and Toney-Not a good match

Last time he was injured was in Dallas and due to a player landing on Toney’s foot/ankle in an awkward way, wasn’t a role.
Like many posts mentioned.

Asses are on the line. SB 46 team halftime show.

Didn't hear the game from where I was watching. Were the boo birds out in force? I hope so. Hopefully that gets some attention from ownership.
Toney can be an awesome player  
Gmanfandan : 10/17/2021 5:54 pm : link
And yes, he's on my fantasy team. But I say sit him for 4 weeks and let him heal - then let him loose.

It had nothing to do with jobs. they were medically cleared and cleared players play. Yes, it really is that simple.

And fortunately with the Giants, the medical staff gets no pressure from management. Cause John Mara is a great guy

This is 100% not true. There's always grey areas. These cases were clearly in the grey area.
i gotta hand it to you guys...

I heard, no O-line, no talent, bad plays, drops by the pass catchers, penalties, bad refs, no training camp, new offensive system, am I missing anything?

But I didn't expect, played with after effects of a concussion after he was cleared. That's a novel excuse. Congrats. I didn't see it coming.
There was speculation Thomas would play  
Section331 : 10/17/2021 8:03 pm : link
last week, so why wouldn’t he with an additional week off? And Toney looked great until he landed awkwardly on the sideline. There’s a lot to criticize the coaches for, playing Thomas and Toney isn’t it.
I thought Toney...  
bw in dc : 10/17/2021 8:10 pm : link
looked good. He just got his ankle twisted up on that sideline tackle. Seemed like he was getting in and out of his cuts comfortably prior to that.

Jones has no effects from the concussion. He passed all the tests in the locker-room after the Dallas game.

Our team is blown up due to 9 starters out.
