Thibs stat line vs Vikings

WinterIsComing : 9/9/2024 4:45 am
5 K. Thibodeaux 0/0 0.0 0

Unreal. There are no words.
Too many no shows for this guy over his career here

Certainly not consistent like the top 10 guy we had hoped for. That’s another knock on Schoen. Neal is a bust and Banks isn’t a #1 CB.
So 2 picks inside  
SoZKillA : 9/9/2024 5:55 am : link
The top 10.

One stinks, is always hurt, and can’t get on the field.

The other flashed a little, usually against bad/backup tackles.

Not good. This is how you get yourself fired.
We refer to that stat line as

“The necklace.” With all those great defensive players in the team’s history observing, he played his usual old man’s game in an old man’s body. He personifies the team: he doesn’t seem to like playing football. The only encouraging aspect about yesterday’s hideous performance was the fire displayed by some of the rookies . I bet the alumni must have said among themselves , “That kid has a chance to be a Giant.” They were not talking about #5.

sucks.

Imagine having 2 top 10 picks and getting almost 0 ROI.

Agree. The guy has too many games when he disappears.
Don’t forget his facemask on a 3rd and long

In which we actually got ourselves off the field. You can make the argument that was the biggest play of the day yesterday.
Forgot about that.

Darrisaw has him completely glued to the LoS so Thibs haplessly reached up and pulls his facemask because he's getting his ass beat. He is a terrible football player.

Just came on to make the same comment!

That’s 2 drives. The first being the PI call on Jackson and this on both leading to TD . We killed ourselves.
Cigarette smoking taking effect on his play

It’s catching up with him
I wasn’t impressed with Thibs during the draft process  
Rick in Dallas : 9/9/2024 8:07 am : link
He had multiple games like yesterday at Oregon.
He hasn’t learned any other pass rush moves but his primary move.
Thibs is exactly what this team does not need. Average player  
ThomasG : 9/9/2024 8:18 am : link
who thinks he is way more talented than he is. If yesterday was an example of his talent/effort than he certainly isn;t a core player and not even long for this team. His demeanor on sidelines and off the field have shown the same despite many on BBI not wanting to see it.

His typical impact on games is near non-existent, unless of course he is playing against the Washington or NY Jet OLs. Go look at last year's numbers and when he compiled them.

Yesterday was more of the same. The penalty on him that kept Minn on field for a touchdown drive was just par for the course for a loser player on a loser team.

The warning signs were there pre-draft. They were ignored.
He

hasn't played up to his draft status. Not even close. He looks at best like a #2 DE. As someone said, his wins are against lesser OTs. The good OTs like Darrisaw regularly own him.
He was the 5th pick in the draft  
arniefez : 9/9/2024 9:18 am : link
he's maybe an adequate, average starter? That's a huge disappointment. Neal is a bust.

But look at the 2022 draft class overall. It was a bad draft class. The Giants have no luck to go with their no skill.

Who would any of you taken at 5 or 7 that would have been better picks? Garrett Wilson? Who would throw him the ball? It's not like it was the 2014 draft and the Giants passed on Aaron Donald and Zack Martin.

Or as if the Giants had the 5th and 7th pick in the 2024 draft. They didn't pick up Jones option after 2021. They knew they needed a new QB. They had the 5th and 7th pick in the worst QB draft this century. No luck.
