With all the talk of Toney and how "invested" he is in the team or the game, not sure if anyone caught the Shepard on the sidelines?
Guy just tore his ACL, very likely ended his career or stint with the team, but was doing everything he could to help his teammates. He was kind of run-hobbling around with a headset in.
Camera showed him after the 2nd TD drive and he was the first person there to celebrate with DJ & Saquon. They showed him coaching up Sills after his drop. When Tyrod went out and Daboll brought the offense together he was right in the middle of it with his teammates.
I came away impressed and seems like a guy trying to contribute in any way he can. You can say what you want about his performance on the field, but the way he carries himself is what you want on your football team.
The JOKA Bling necklace was very present

Toney has been at every game supporting the team. This isn't a Sheppard only moment
He's a great Giant.
Seems like a great teammate. Shame it couldn't have worked out better on the field.
Never the issue with him...
I'm sure Toney wants to get out there too. You don't just "Miss" MNF in primetime. And a Sunday morning game is another primetime game with lots of eyes on it - a national audience.
He's just not ready. If you guys remember , OBJ's rookie year he missed the first 4 games, and I think it was hamstring. I'm not comparing the talent of the players, just the type of athlete they are and the similarity of injury and time of year (OBJ's injury was also from training camp).
We don't need to pay for a mascot. Dude has a great attitude but can't stay on the field
The best ability is availability

I don't remember anyone ever questioning OBJs work ethic or desire to be on the field. Yeah, the boat trip before GB sucked but that was a one off thing and involved a bunch of Giants players

Shep is done with the Giants. What if he signs a cheap 1 year deal to stay another year? Coming off two serious injuries I doubt he'll get any big offers. Why not stay?

I didn't call him a mascot.
And if he can stay healthy he's a leader on the team. A cheap 1 year deal is not risky at all.
