Thibodeaux responds to Jeff Saturday

LOL

To talk the talk I hope he can walk the walk. He has played well as a rookie but he has a way to go. Has the speed off the edge but needs to get stronger and work on his moves. Plain speed will work for only so long. The better tackles have been setting up fast outside and forcing him inside thus neutralizing him. On his sack of Foles he wasn’t touched.

'I don't know who he is.'

Don't worry Thibs. You'll see him back on ESPN in two weeks.

the "shut up, old man, nobody knows who you are" comments get funnier and funnier to me.

Still think he shouldn't have done the go-to-sleep thing, but what do I know.

He's walked the walk more than Jeff Saturday.

He's the only rookie in the top 16 in quick pressures. But you just want to discount everything he's done. His sack, scoop and score completely changed the season. He's been a complete force the 2nd half of the season.

stop all the he did not know Foles was on the ground .... He knew and also knew the cameras and media would talk and talk about him ....

Now he can bethe villian/bad guy OLB in NY Blue ...

Smart PR move

funnier if he said, "I don't care if Jeff Wednesday said something about me!" In a Mohammed Ali voice.

Ehh. 6x Pro Bowler, 2x All Pro, 1 ring. Not yet on that

But Saturday is acting like a boob

on to next game!

I'm talking about Saturday as a HC.

BTW, have you ever heard a head coach call a player on another team "trash"?

that is hilarious. im not sure if he meant he didn't KNOW who he is, but more so he doesn't really know him as a person. either way, thats great

"he said he's paid to sack the QB and be a savage"

man, thats good shit

the game was played on Sunday

as a head coach than Thibs is as a player. He was way off base calling Thibs trash as a HC but as a player that would have been expected of an OLineman in the same situation.

Given the events this week, a more appropriate response might have been: We play a physical, violent sport. I celebrated a clean play and a QB sack that helped our team win. I didn't celebrate Nick Foles getting hurt. I wasn't aware he was injured on the play and I hope he makes a quick and full recovery."

we needed a guy like this for a decade. Call him what you will...he's a bad ass. He's a dog. Dogs help you win NFL games.

Of Strahan or LT said it the "get off my lawn crowd" would be hootin and hollerin and wetting their Zubas

Kayvon doesn't understand the difference between being a savage and being an asshole.

We would be ripping him to shreds. Thibs should of handled it better IMO.

Maybe I don't know the definition of that term "walked the walk", but isn't Saturday a borderline hall-of-famer?

I don't think this is an issue and I was a supporter of Thibodeaux, but I kind of think these things are better if you just let them die instead of responding.

Agreed. On more than one occasion, Thibs has talked of being hated. Some guys relish being the bad guy. If that's what fuels him, no issue with it. This isn't charm school, this is football.

And to echo the comments of others - fuck Jeff Saturday

nothing to discuss. I'm sure he will learn from this. Over zealous celebration not the end of the world.

I hope he continues to be hated after this upcoming game against the eagles. I hate the Eagles due to their fans, and all of the attention they've been getting for too long. Philly has a good team, they won 13 games thus far, but I still think they're going to be one and done in the playoffs.
I also hope that Kavon can get through the Philly OL and sack Hurts multiple times on Sunday!

With that said… here is the way I’d want Thibs to respond….don’t let the media bait you into a “statement “.

“I understand and respect Coach Saturday’s comments. From his viewpoint, he is concerned with his player, and rightfully so… but with that said, my concern is sacking opposing QB’s…and I did my job. I didn’t know Nick was hurt and stopped celebrating after I was aware. I was celebrating a big play and that’s it”

Perfect response. Thanks for that. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

He’s just got some sore ribs. This whole story needs to go away already

That's the thing... everyone is acting like the QB suffered some sort of horrible injury.

It sounds even better. Saturday is also a hypocrite not having a problem with some of the shots the Colts were taking on Jones.

Giants fans have complained about not drafting a LB in the first round, a guy with personality who also makes game-changing plays.

We get one, and now he's an asshole.

Sigh.

No problem with it. He got called tasteless & trash by someone with no personal relationship with him, so he gave it right back to him.

from another team trash talks the Giants after a game the posters on here ask everyone to grow a nutsack and to the victor goes the spoil and all that shit

when a Giant player does it suddenly we're classless.


We finally have some fucking swagger after 6 years and I fucking love it

Thibodeaux: (sacks QB/celebrates like a goofball)

Giants Fans (Group A): "He needs PR training and psychological counseling."

Giants Fans (Group B): "Thibs is an evil bastard. I love it!"

haha love it...

the guy got drilled in the ribs. who fucking cares. media and some of you here are acting like Thibodeaux speared him in the head, ripped his helmet off, and threw his helmet into the stands, and then started dancing. jesus christ already.

too long. I like Dex's dance much better.

I would rather him at this point to just move to the next game.

Say exactly to Tibs about the snow angel sack?

Actually nobody is acting like that. Ir was a good play, a good hit, and he celebrated. IMHO the actual celebration was childish, but that's just an opinion. And I thought he could have had a better response to Saturday ... but again, what do I know, its just opinion.

Exactly. I'm glad he's ok----now phuq him.

River Mike, wrong. People are acting as if Thibodeaux knew Foles was writhing in pain, and was celebrating to spite him and the Colts, and somehow people are acting as if this act (which he clearly did not know Foles was hurt) is akin to a completely dirty play - which is what the COLTS did to Daniel Jones later in the game.

I said that any the time. It had the feeling of Foles wanting to get the hell out of there.

Strahan must have celebrated with that jumpshot "Ballin" thing a million times when a QB was down - were you guys crying about that as well? For fuck sake.

I made that point yesterday. What the Colts did was FAR worse. They intentionally tried to hurt Jones.
