Thoughts on KT?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/2/2022 6:09 pm
I thought he looked good overall for his second start.
He s young. He s getting humbled. But he ll be fine  
Blue21 : 10/2/2022 6:11 pm : link
.Better today than last week
I did too  
PatersonPlank : 10/2/2022 6:11 pm : link
He was very active out there and was giving Fields a lot of problems. He also made a very heads up play when he recovered that fumble when everyone else had stopped playing because they thought it was an incomplete pass.
Great athleticism  
BigBlueJ : 10/2/2022 6:11 pm : link
out there with our young edges. Feels like this front seven will be decent.
I agree. Still got  
section125 : 10/2/2022 6:12 pm : link
confused on a couple plays. But he played much faster today. I thought he an Azeez were much better today. Looked a touch slow last week. Have to think as he learns the plays and gets comfortable, he will be just fine.
Potential

Like his closing speed and physicality
Triple team on the biggest play  
larryflower37 : 10/2/2022 6:16 pm : link
For Chicago tells you what everyone else thinks.
They had the LBs on edge responsibility all day they were told not to get too far up field you could see it
Early on, he looked confused AND gassed  
Ben in Tampa : 10/2/2022 6:17 pm : link
And I was thinking “oh boy”

But I think he actually got stronger as the game went on and he started to become pretty disruptive. I like where he’s trending.

Hopefully he’s healthy and keeps improving.
The issue is  
XtraCredit29 : 10/2/2022 6:17 pm : link
Giants fans watch players like Hutchinson look like stars straight out of the gate and our rookies tend to come on slow. This leads to the "bust" nonsense but in reality you can see the potential in KT.
As with everything else on the team this year you have to give him time to develop.
And he’s NOT  
Dave on the UWS : 10/2/2022 6:18 pm : link
100% yet either.
He had a great play  
widmerseyebrow : 10/2/2022 6:19 pm : link
stringing out a run and keeping contain.
He was getting held a LOT too  
Bleedblue10 : 10/2/2022 6:26 pm : link
Refs were lettin it go from both teams. I prefer it that way last week there were wayyyy too many flags
Thought you meant Kadarius Toney lol  
Blackmax00 : 10/2/2022 6:27 pm : link
I think Thibs will grow into the position well. Not everyone is a day 1 stud.
He is a smart player  
NY-Fan : 10/2/2022 6:27 pm : link
He jumped on that loose ball since there was no whistle.
He played discipline football stringing out that run play.
I also noticed him pull up a bit on the 3rd down pressure in the endzone. If he would have continued through it he would have probably been flagged.
His presence and athleticism are noticeable  
mfsd : 10/2/2022 6:28 pm : link
and make a difference. He’ll break through with some big plays soon. If he can stay on the field
Ojulari  
AG5686 : 10/2/2022 6:33 pm : link
Had a better game IMHO
For a smart guy  
ZogZerg : 10/2/2022 6:34 pm : link
He didn't play smart on the field at times.

Overall, he improved this week.
KT  
stretch234 : 10/2/2022 6:37 pm : link
Light years better than game 1. You can clearly see the ability

Looking forward to see KT, Ojulari, Dex, LW and Ward all playing together. There is definitely talent here that could cause problems for teams.

That little thing called health however ….
He missed a good chunk of time  
Lines of Scrimmage : 10/2/2022 6:38 pm : link
but I think he is doing okay. He held the edge. Couple pressures. Look for to having all our front 7 guys back and how Wink deploys them.

Same here. After seeing the thread with his not-so-athletic looking belly I thought he was going to take some plays at 1/2 speed. Great to see him play like he did.

He also ended up pressuring Fields on the play that he looked the most confused
They had him  
Adam G in Big D : 10/2/2022 6:53 pm : link
dropping into coverage on some pass plays.
Dumb penalty aside he's getting pressure and attention  
j_rud : 10/2/2022 6:55 pm : link
Hopefully the numbers come soon.
great game today  
Vanzetti : 10/2/2022 7:28 pm : link
he was all over the field

can play both the run and the pass
He still needs to learn the defense.  
St. Jimmy : 10/2/2022 7:40 pm : link
You can see them potential out there.
I  
AcidTest : 10/2/2022 8:50 pm : link
thought he played well. He got pressure. He's still got a lot to learn but he was definitely a force today.
KT  
JohnG in Albany : 10/2/2022 9:04 pm : link
He's a rookie coming off an injury with all that entails.

And he did seem more active this week than last.

But one thing that might concern me a bit is his size, or lack thereof.

At times he seems to get engulfed by OT's.

There  
darren in pdx : 10/2/2022 9:10 pm : link
was a play he chased Fields that really showed his speed. Like his potential, the sacks will come as he plays more. Feels like he just needs to get used to playing in the NFL.
I know how this kind of thing gets taken the wrong way  
jhibb : 10/2/2022 9:13 pm : link
so here's the disclaimer: I am NOT comparing this guy to LT.

That said, KT looked good in today's uniform, standing up in that sort of sideways stance on the edge. It definitely brought me back.

Hopefully, the performance comes and he gets to the point where he instils fear in opponents (even a fraction of what LT did) and not just fond memories for me.

There seems to be 1 or 2 snaps he is lost on the defensive call

He reminded me of LT too. As you said obviously not the same speed or explosiveness but the way he was all over the field making plays was definitely LT-like
