I keep saying it

Eric from BBI : Admin : 8/1/2024 4:04 pm : link

but we need to be paying more attention to Dyontae Johnson.

BTW

if the reports are accurate and Thibodeaux got past Thomas twice, KT may be ready for another step forward.

Looks like he could be taking McFadden’s reps.

McFadden is nursing a hamstring injury so they've limited his reps. But Johnson keeps making plays.

Q: What have you seen from (inside linebacker) Dyontae Johnson?

BOBBY OKEREKE: He's a playmaker. He's athletic. Profile-wise, he kind of looks like me out there. So, he's a good player.

RE: Thibodeaux beat Thomas twice for at least one “sack” & possibly 2

Trainmaster : 8/1/2024 4:42 pm : link

I hope the reports of Burns and Thibs beating Thomas have more to do with coaching from Andre Patterson (especially for Thibodeaux) than an issue with Thomas.

I'll tend to hope / agree it's about Thibodeaux getting better, regardless of the reason.

I definitely

took note of the Thibs mentions against AT. Burns had a win against AT last week too that was eye opening. That bodes well for the Giants pass rush if it carries over to the season. Thibs putting it all together along with Burns and Dex could transform the defense.

I'd like to see him and Theo Johnson take over the starting roles at their positions.

At This Point, We Don't Know Which Guys Are Legitimate Improvements

Trainmaster : 8/1/2024 5:14 pm : link

and which are the next Sean Bennetts and Jonas Seawrights, to be added to Giants training camp lore and be invisible during the season.

I have high hopes for the following new players:

Nabers (of course)
Andru Phillips
Theo Johnson
Dyontae Johnson
Dante Miller

And these returning players to step up:

W Robinson
J Hyatt
I Simmons
J Riley
D Davidson

Bowen has made some really positive comments

cosmicj : 8/1/2024 5:24 pm : link

About the DL. It’s likely Davidson and Reilly have taken the next step, which is highly encouraging.

The defense could be really good this year

The Mike : 8/1/2024 6:13 pm : link

If they aren't exhausted from being on the field too much. Thibs and Burns could be the best edge linebacker pair we have had since Taylor and Banks.

The weakness at Corner is probably going to be their undoing. It's a critical flaw. Pass rush has to be first-rate to cover up for that.

With McFadden out and a new D coordinator, Dyontae might be in pole position
