Groin injuries require sufficient time to heal completely or run the risk of tearing off the bone when reinjuring them by trying to come back too soon.

He likely needs a good two to three months to heal and rehab properly before playing again.

Peace!

Title: Re: Giants VS Vikings game thread
Post by: MagicRat on September 08, 2024, 01:17:59 PM
FG feels like a loss TBH.
But that's 3 runs from Jones, 2 of them right, head first into contact.
He's hurt by Halloween at the latest if this is the norm.

To be fair, nobody was open on that third play; it was a smart to not force the throw, especially against Sam Donald, who's just awful.

Brutal start to the game outside of one defensive series (which was awesome). The D followed that up by getting worked on the next series though.

Need to see the offense get something going here. Let's go.

Having Jones run 2 designed runs is plain stupid this early in season.

Or, the coaches know Jones capabilities, and feel are best chance to win is to limit his throwing (ala 2022).

On pace again to have less than 150 yards passing, which has been the norm over the last 4 years.  Still, it's only the 1st qtr and plenty of time to improve the passing game.  If they cant play well against the Sam D led Min, who will they play well against?

I'm in full agreement. Couldn't agree more. It seems we'd rather not taking a small risk of our offensive guys getting hurt than run a very high risk that they'll be completely out of sync and off their games in at least week one if not beyond that.

We look awful. Getting dominated on both sides of the ball by a bad team.

One good defensive series and one nice special teams play. That's it. Everything else has been horrible.

We need to dial up a blitz if Darnold is going to be having all day like this

Bowen isn't big on blitzing.  The team spent a 2nd round pick and 30 million/year so they could rush 4 and get pressure.  It's the 1st half of the 1st game, let's see if Burns can make an impact going forward.

There are probably only five corners in the NFL that can cover Jefferson without any help. You put him on an island like that and Jefferson scores 0% of the time.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on September 08, 2024, 01:47:28 PMI'm in full agreement. Couldn't agree more. It seems we'd rather not taking a small risk of our offensive guys getting hurt than run a very high risk that they'll be completely out of sync and off their games in at least week one if not beyond that.



Sam Darnold had the fourth most passing attempts of any Vikings QB in preaseason. Aaron Jones didn't have a single rushing attempt, Justin Jefferson didn't have a single catch and Jordan Addison had all of one. Yet the Vikings offense looks to be completely in synch. Is it possible that not playing in preseason isn't what's holding the Giants back here?

Reposition with back pedal, Change release angle and/or arc

So far the D is as bad as the O. Penalties plague us. Once again we do not look prepared which will lead to questions for Daboll et al.

I'd expect them to at least try to run the offense through his arm to some extent. We have three receivers that run a sub-4.4 40 and we haven't tried anything more than like 10 yards down the field.

Aaaaanand another awful throw with great protection.

I don't love booing but I don't blame the fans for booing him. $40mm a year is a lot of money. You could have an elite corner and elite ILB for that money.

40 mil dollars for 55 passing yards.

Yikes.

I'd rather be paying 18/20mil and spending the other money elsewhere.

It's woeful.

4 more weeks of this and they'll pull him to look after the injury guarantee.

To think we had a thread titled Jones derangement syndrome. He is the worst starting quarterback in NY Giants history. If he wasn't forced by Mara to give Jones that extension Schoen should lose his job for giving to sort of money to an absolute stiff. He can't even complete routine passes.

It's not one qtr...we're going on 5 years of absolute ineptitude.  Given the volume of QB running plays, its apparent the coaches don't trust their QB. Still, I don't expect DJ to be this bad all year; I suspect some of the poor 1st half play is a byproduct of missing most of last season.

He is not that young. 25+ is old to see what you have.

I can't believe anyone is surprised by this. This team was designed to work with Barkley. Without him -- it is like when he was out with injury, and it was "well Barkley was hurt". Now it is like the dude is scoring 3 TDs in a game on another team and they still look like the same team when Barkley was hurt.

I dunno, I don't think Schoen fires his buddy until he gets a go around with a different QB.
And I don't think ownership are binning Schoen.
It's two quarters, but if those quarters are replicated for any lengthy period we're picking early again.

Jones can't have any pocket pressure, and the WR must be wide open and sitting in a route. If he has any rusher at all near him, or if the WR is moving, he misses. ITs Lock/DeVito time

Belichick is not the answer guys. Bringing in what will be a 73 year old next year who is more focused on his media career and 25 year old girlfriend now is not the solution. Moreover he's been terrible at player selection for a long time now, and he'd insist on being the deciding voice on that front.

I'm as demoralized about this team as everyone else here, but that is not the answer. I am positive of that. I tend to doubt he'll even be interested anyway.

Down 2 scores in the 1st half to a middle of the road team at home.  Very reminiscent of last year. 

The 3 points on the board are courtesy of the defense, who aside from that 1st possession hasn't looked good.

Lil Bill is 82-98 without Tom Brady; post Brady, he also built one of, if not the literal worst rosters in the NFL. He will be 73 in April...the Giants are NOT going to hire BB, and I doubt anyone else will either. Dabol deserves to pick and mold is an actual passing QB before we fire him too.  Seriously, some fans are advocating for firing our 4th coach in the DJ era.  Isn't the real issue obvious?

Jones with 3.4 YPA in the first half against a bad defense in a home game with an elite receiver talent in his arsenal. Just not good enough. We'd be saying this was a bad first half for a week one rookie QB. Protection was more than adequate and at least five or six throws were wildly off target. It's just not acceptable.

Next excuse will be the Giants ruined his confidence or psyche. If he's that fragile mentally then he has no business playing meaningful snaps. We're watching Sam freaking Darnold, who was pilloried and bounced around the league, still go out there and sling it.

We have fallen so far as a franchise that we are literally NON-COMPETITIVE against a bad team in a home game with our whole team healthy. They're missing one of their best players in Hockenson. Imagine if he were playing.

This Vikings team won't be in the playoffs. Week one last year was beyond humiliating but at least it was to a team that is loaded with great players on both sides of the ball. This is much worse even if the ultimate scoreboard deficit isn't.

Steps up in the pocket to the pressure for sacks, misses wide open receivers, fails to see the unblocked defender and fails to move the protection or hit the hot read... this is bad. In top of it, penalties up the ass, dropped passes and coverage issues. Can't make this xxxx up. Two years in a row.

huh?  He was bad before his injuries.  The man has been a bottom 5 passer for 5 years; fans just put all the blame on the OCs and/or HCs.  Even in 2022, his passing production was bottom 5, which he masked with running.  He's just not very good...

That will certainly be some of the attempted damage control PR campaign this week even though all reports from insiders have stated he is completely healed and that his play should not be impacted by any physical remnants of the injury and that if anything it would be psychological.

But I'm sure people will run with that nonetheless. I'm also expecting to hear a lot about the play calling too even though he was missing wide open guys in the middle of the field by a good 3-5 feet.

Play calling tightened up in response to Jones being wildly inaccurate. There's a reason a former COTY isn't trusting him with more. Now doing so out of necessity.

He's the exact same coach he's been for two decades, and something I've spoken about numerous times on this board. With a below average QB, he produces terrible offenses, with a quality QB, he's highly effective. However, that's standard for all OCs/HCs.

I would not play Jones next week. I know they will but they really shouldn't. Blame it on his health to save face and not humiliate him if you must, but they can't do this again. It's outrageous. With DeVito you can at least have a low error game manager who can complete passes and give the D a shot to win the game. Jones cannot complete routine, easy passes to open guys 10 yards away with adequate, routine NFL level protection.

People will say "it is just week one", but that is kind of my point. How about not letting this snowball to 1-5, only then to concede that it's not working? How about trying something different BEFORE the snowball process ensues like it does just about every year for the last decade?

This is Mara's golden boy laid bare in game 1. He deserves to see this and be embarrassed. His inability to be objective about an entirely flawed player at the most important position in sports because he looks and sounds the part (the least important parts of the equation) should consume him.

When Daboll is calling him out for leaving plays on the field last year and Schoen tried to trade up for a QB, you think they're Jones guys? It was Mara who during Jones FA said the Giants did everything to screw him up... then he gets a huge deal. Occam's razor is instructive here.

Staring down his recievers that's what you get.

If Nabers is what people say he is, you're gonna burn valuable rookie years with Jones at QB.

Honestly, how many more games will it take before people realise he wasn't worth the contract after the playoffs and certainly isn't worth it today.

The excuses this week will be he needs more game action, as a result of missing most of last year.  I would view that as a reasonable explanation for today's performance, IF DJ didn't have 60 games of mediocre QB play, at least as it relates to passing production.

I dunno, Jones.........I dunno what the guy does in practice, I dunno what his potential was coming out from school, he has the physical tools, certainly, but whether we've "David Carr-ed" him or whether he never had it, who knows?
This early, I'm saying this is definitely his last season, that's a given, but where do we go beyond that?
Schoen and Daboll.....I'm really unsure.
Is Mara going to clean house again?
Has Mara given them a 4-13 pass to get ourselves a QB next time out?
That's two years in a row we've showed up clearly undercooked, seriously, completely and totally underprepared.
We look further away than ever from relevance,  after what I thought was some decent off-season business.
It's soul destroying.

It probably has something to do with the inability of his QB to throw the ball beyond 10 yards.  We're not winning this game...let DJ throw short passes to increase his confidence, vice forcing another throw for his third pick.  DJ's not Eli, he appears to have a very fragile psyche.

This early, I'm saying this is definitely his last season, that's a given, but where do we go beyond that?
Schoen and Daboll.....I'm really unsure.
Is Mara going to clean house again?
Has Mara given them a 4-13 pass to get ourselves a QB next time out?
That's two years in a row we've showed up clearly undercooked, seriously, completely and totally underprepared.
We look further away than ever from relevance,  after what I thought was some decent off-season business.
It's soul destroying.

His physical tools are nothing special. Slightly above average arm strength, good straight line runner but not elusive. Not nearly as accurate as people wanted to pretend, can't throw with touch (everything is a fastball), and doesn't come close to having it upstairs. At best, an average QB, but in most scenarios.. this.

That worked a lot better in a losing season with a Davis Webb who never to that point played in an NFL game. It went all down hill when you played a 3rd team journeyman instead and lost to a bad Raiders team just the same.

Go back a watch the play with a stopwatch. He had four seconds of protection on that play. I'm not blaming the offensive line because he can't go through his progression and get rid of the ball in less than four seconds. Almost every other team has a quarterback who does that routinely.

I thought you were talking about Geno Smith. The difference is Eli didn't really play bad. And Eli played hard and they played to win. It almost seems to me like they still have the kids gloves treatment with Jones. This was still a ball game and they were still running the ball, bubble screens; no hurry , conservative play calls etc.

Really don't understand the criticism of the play calling.  There was an overwhelmingly positive reception to Daboll calling plays this year. 

Are we to think that both Kafka and Daboll are poor play callers because they "refuse" to throw it beyond 5 yards? 

Neither of them came from conservative systems, so why wouldn't they throw further down field?

They both must have become super conservative for some reason, just can't quite put my finger on it.

That's how the Bears won today. The offense (with new QB Caleb Williams 14/29 w/ 93 total yards' 0 TDs and a QB rating of 55.7) and the team as a whole mustered up 177 total offensive yards today, yet won the game thanks to the defense scoring 3 TDs...go figure  :-??

As far as the Giants go, their defense can keep us in games, but man...they have to figure out an offense. We've got playmakers, but we have no ability to scheme a game to take advantage of them...conservative to a fault. Can't win if we rarely score

DJs biggest fault IMHO, is that he tries to do exactly what the coaches tell him to do...so much so, that he's lost when the called play just isn't there (so he runs, even though it's not enough for a first down). That is what makes Mahomes so dangerous...he's ready to improvise (and does) the very second he sees that the called play ain't there, so he just changes to backyard football - throw to whoever is open. DJ needs that mindset. He's trying so hard to please the coach and only do exactly what he's told to do, even if it's a crappy play call (which most of them are)

Phili has playmakers (Brown, Smith, Hurts, and Barkley); Dal has playmakers (Dak and Lamb); the Giants playmakers are based on hope. Right now, the Giants lack a single certified playmaker.  They have protentional, which is limited by poor QB play.

I continue to completely and fundamentally disagree with your assessments, as they relate to DJ; he's not being held back because he adheres to coaching.  If anything, our coaches are limited by his inability to routinely complete passes beyond 7-yards, or make off-schedule plays.  I suspect Kafka and Daboll would prefer to call the plays that made them successful in KC and BUF, but they can't.   DJ biggest problem has always been, and continues to be, mental acuity.  He lacks the processing speed required to be a plus NFL passer.   After 5+ seasons, this isn't going to improve...

No sense of historical nostalgia! You take the lone good thing about today and drag it into the gutter by suggesting historical 1933 Giants fornicate with Wolverines!

I'm taking my Ray Flaherty piss-pot and am going home, so there!

Toodles!

Daboll cant afford another embarrassing loss next week. He has to rally this team somehow or this season and his coaching career with the Giants is going likely to be toast. Watch the tape, coach? No, burn it. I have serious doubts two years in a row of complete failure in your home opener. Its clear Jones has little grasp of how to improv or deliver the ball accurately or correctly. He's shot after the beating he has taken, injuries and his poor instincts have never been resolved. it's over.

Bobby said it moments ago...he would even put Lock (and he thinks little of him) in after this performance. ouch.

I continue to completely and fundamentally disagree with your assessments, as they relate to DJ; he's not being held back because he adheres to coaching.  If anything, our coaches are limited by his inability to routinely complete passes beyond 7-yards, or make off-schedule plays.  I suspect Kafka and Daboll would prefer to call the plays that made them successful in KC and BUF, but they can't.   DJ biggest problem has always been, and continues to be, mental acuity.  He lacks the processing speed required to be a plus NFL passer.   After 5+ seasons, this isn't going to improve...

This! Dabol(and Schoen) deserve to have their own QB running the show. Not this Gettleman error, exacerbated by Mara and his "we've done everything to screw him up" gifting him the contract, which was tempered by Schoen getting the two year out as a compromise. I believe that's how it went down. In the meantime Mara still has the cash register ringing while the fans are left wringing.
