and barely even played them. Barkley, in particular, didn't play a single snap in the pre-season. And even with all of that protecting, they still manage to geti njured in Game 2. It's unreal.
So, do you think if he played in the preseason the defensive player wouldn't have landed on his leg and twisted his ankle?
Barkley and Brederson I kinda knew for sure they'd be out. Ojulari was not a big surprise but it hurts. But being without stud LT for a second game against a great front four really stinks.
This is the week where we truly learn about Ezedeu at LT; Neal at RT; and, McEthan at OG. Can this young OL hold up against this level of competition?? I am thinking, unfortunately, not a chance.
We will need to run really, really well despite missing Barkley and hope that Jones can create things with his legs and short quick throws.
And can our defense put it together and generate some rush? Is this the game that Simmons is used perfectly and surprises everyone? We need someone to step up and surprise SF?
No one Denys he s been injured. It s your insinuation he has been an attitude problem I take issue with
Please show me where i said it has anything to do with his attitude?
You didn’t want to hear his bitching, If that is not a reference to attitude, I withdraw my objection.
I'm not saying he will, but he obviously wasn't happy coming into this season. He got injured yet again in just Week 2. But he'll wonder why he's not getting every last penny he wants. I mean..
I know he dropped due to injury in the draft but they need to draft another Edge and a DE next year. Wasted roster spot at this point sadly. He's never ever healthy regardless of talent
they take Robinson off PUP? Missing fourth game this week.
Because he can't practice while he's on PUP. He can practice and remain inactive until they're satisfied that he's recovered, up to speed and ready for full-contact game action.
too bad but it's to the point now that they can't count on him at all.
I know there are no medals for trying but I think it will be a moral victory tonight if they manage not to get run out of the building and come out healthy with no new injuries.
RE: nice to see Wandale. Ojulari just cant stay on the field

Definitely a competitive game is a win for the Giants whether they win or lose. A blowout to a top-notch team just continues the pattern we've seen since last season.
game one decision to keep playing AT during a blowout.
Obviously, I don't know the particulars, and can't say if he made it worse by playing, but if it didn't get worse, and he can't go now, he shouldn't have continued playing. Or, he made it worse by continuing to play, in which case he shouldn't have continued playing.
It's possible they're chalking this up as a loss (like a lot of BBI), and are resting him. Maybe he would play if this was another AZ opponent.

It’s the smart decision. They have 10 days between games after tonight, don’t risk making it worse now when he will have a ton of time to make sure he’s ready to go
At the risk of being dismissive of some of the points made above, my guess is Thomas is simply hurt and can't play.
You only get 17 swings, and Daboll saw how quickly the tides turn for the Giants coach. The last 3 guys before him got two years. And the last guy to get to the playoffs didn't even make it through his second year.
I don't think Daboll is holding out players who are healthy just to be cautious. His job is to win games and get to the playoffs.
Thomas is arguably their best player, so I suspect when he's healthy he'll play.
Except Wan'dall is that you couldn't judge their progress anyway. Only walkthroughs between last game and this. Add in the flip side of the short week - the super long following week - and it's almost impossible to make any argument in favor of playing any of them.
Daboll greenlights Jones to play fearlessly and he goes big game hunting with the passing game.
Troll :)
Fanning the flames of this helps the team how?
Can't we just say the HC did his job by overseeing the OC after 0-60 over 6 quarters. I suspect that after the success, Kafka will use Hyatt more and call some shots.
Working as intended, no?
Are you secretly Pat Leonard?
There is no need to press that narrative unless you are looking for clicks and impressions.

FWIW you can play the entire preseason and still be hurt in game 2.

The Giants offense can do some damage. That may not translate into a win, but it could make for a competitive game.
No need to dwell on the consequences of poor pass blocking.

Don't want to hear Barkley bitch again next year when he doesn't get what he wants from a contract standpoint. Ojulari is just whatever at this point.
Thomas being out again is disappointing, but whatever.
Barkley has played 31 out of the last 36 games, he is not constantly injured
Most players would have been injured on that play ...

Running backs get injured its the nature of the position. Hopefully someone else steps it up.
McFadden, maybe his neck was bothering him the last game and that explains the missed tackles. Give Coughlin a chance, I think he has earned that.
I would like to see us try a 4-4-3 defense against the niners, nothing to lose.
Which statement best describes the New York Giants?
(a) An NFL team that is chronically injured year after year?
(b) An NFL team that has marginal back-up talent to fill in for injured players?
(c) Both statements are equally true
(:-(

The Niners are favored by double digits, I don't have a lot of confidence in this game. How about a good showing at least?

Even if he's better now he'd probably hurt it again walking off the plane anyway.
