Ximenes with a game ball

adamg : 9/18/2022 4:04 pm
Huge impact today by the kid many of us had written off...
It’s unbelievable, but he played well last two weeks.....

OLB Coach is doing a nice job with him and you can see that he’s maturing as a player!
So happy to finally have a staff

That proves the obvious
They know much better than I do
agreed  
Big d E 2 : 9/18/2022 4:06 pm : link
he is stepping up in the opportunity
I think he’s earned the right to be

Called a wink guy
Ximenes

It is fun to watch a player many dismissed start to show his potential. He will be a fun one to watch over the course of the season.
I admit

I was ready to escort him out of NY too, thinking Roche was better. Me bad….
I’m very excited about our edge depth now

He was great today.
He played great!

He played well  
montanagiant : 9/18/2022 4:14 pm : link
But you have to give the game ball to Gano. Especially given that he kicked two FG's over 50 yards

Was exactly what I said to my son, I liked the edge group going into the year but it was mainly due to Azeez getting paired up with Thibs, Ximines has been a revelation..and now it seems we actually have a nice group to rotate.
Ximines  
ChicagoMarty : 9/18/2022 4:19 pm : link
is just a different player this year.

Bigger, faster and stronger

Playing with confidence

Good for him

Perhaps coaching matters? He looked like a man possessed.
He  
AcidTest : 9/18/2022 4:19 pm : link
was great. We all thought he was gone. Was benched for the last eight or nine games of last season, and is now an integral part of the defense. That's great coaching. Credit to him as well for knowing he had a fresh start with a new staff and working his tail off to prove that he belongs on the team.
X played well...  
bw in dc : 9/18/2022 4:21 pm : link
but I thought Love was the defensive player of the game. Secondary overall played superbly.

Can’t be overstated.

Good coaches get the best out of their players and no doubt that’s the case with Wink. He put X in positions to succeed and X is doing just that.
Can't wait for Aziz and Kayvon to join the party  
GiantJake : 9/18/2022 4:29 pm : link
The Giants have so much room to grow on both sides of the ball. Being able to win games this early in the process is a good sign.

I don't think we will see Oujlari or Thibodeaux for at least another 3 weeks!
McKinney made some great plays  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/18/2022 4:37 pm : link
as did Dex

best part of this team -- 3rd down is no longer automatic.

Last year - we lose both of the last two games
Hmm Jack  
Dave on the UWS : 9/18/2022 4:41 pm : link
Thibs will almost assuredly make his debut against Dallas, Ojulari against the Bears.
Love should get it  
Giants73 : 9/18/2022 4:49 pm : link
Seemed like he was in on every tackle
I saw him play quite  
rebel yell : 9/18/2022 4:57 pm : link
a bit at ODU and he was damn good. I was puzzled by his lack of performance in the NFL. I don't think he was being coached or utilized properly by the prior regime. But then again--neither were many others.
Ximinies was the best player on defense today  
MartyNJ1969 : 9/18/2022 4:57 pm : link
He covered the flat and forece Mayfield to throw out of bounds on same play multiple times today. He had 3 pass defended too.
Judge was an idiot  
Massgman : 9/18/2022 4:58 pm : link
for benching him all season for one mistake
Out of nowhere  
JonC : 9/18/2022 4:58 pm : link
the light bulb has flipped on.
He's  
Toth029 : 9/18/2022 5:01 pm : link
Been a very pleasant surprise.

Look forward to getting Ojulari and Thibodeaux back.

X 100. He was terrific.

The secondary was glue from corners to safeties.
Love’s 3rd down sack was the play of the game.  
cosmicj : 9/18/2022 5:06 pm : link
.
Darnay Holmes had a couple of nice plays too  
Milton : 9/18/2022 5:17 pm : link
Including the strip tackle for the turnover.
No he didn't even have any assisted tackles  
David_Upstate : 9/18/2022 5:24 pm : link
Love 8 tackles 1 sack 2 TFL 1 QB hit
Gano deserves the gameball  
SteelGiant : 9/18/2022 6:13 pm : link
Without him we lose the game.

I love the new Ximenes who not called “X” or Xman anymore. I think Wink calls Xavier “x” or “x man” and I think he calls Ximenes “Z”

So I guess I don’t like old x, but love the new x and the new z

WFAN named Gano the Player of the Game

He called him OX
That’s it, your right

I knew he changed it and I messed it up in my head. Thanks
