Stock up, down after Giants’ 20-12 win over Commanders

Days previous to Sunday Night Football, novice edge rush Kayvon Thibodeaux informed pressreporters, “prime time likes me.” He particularly informed them to print the quote.

Boy oh kid was Thibs area on.

In a game-changing, break-out efficiency, the No. 5 general choice in the 2022 NFL draft took the program. He tape-recorded 12 dealswith (nine solo, 3 for a loss), one QB hit, one sack, one required fumble, one fumble healing, and one goal.

Thibs was stout versus the run, terrific versus the pass, and left it all on the field.

There weren’t lotsof Giants who underwhelmed on Sunday night however novice right takeon Evan Neal was definitely one.

Neal continues to battle in both pass defense and run stopping. And while he didn’t surrender a sack, he did permit anumberof pressures on quarterback Daniel Jones that transformed the result of plays.

It’s been a rough novice season for Neal however we stay positive that he’ll establish likewise to Andrew Thomas.

Saquon Barkley hadactually been in a lull over the last month and that continued through 3 quarters on Sunday. But with a success in sight, he turned a changed and returned to kind with time winding down.

Barkley brought the Giants’ offense on a secret drive late in the 4th quarter, eventually leading to a rating that put his group up 8 points.

Throw all the numbers, which were strong, out the window. It was that one drive that sealed the offer for Big Blue. And it was a minute the group and Saquon frantically required.

Nick McCloud is a strong unique groups gamer and might be headed to the Pro Bowl for that function. However, he’s not always implied to be playing considerable protective snaps and is just doing so due to injury.

On Sunday, that almost expense the Giants as McCloud dropped an simple prospective game-winning interception late in the 4th quarter. It breathed short life back into the Commanders and had they not failed, McCloud would be getting all the blame today.

Landon Collins was annoyed by not being raised or seeing considerable playing time this year, however that altered on Sunday.

Against his previous group and in a hybrid position, Collins made numerous crucial third-down stops that assisted lead to the mostsignificant Giants win because 2016.

Collins hasactually made more playing time, specifically with the inside linebackers doingnothave.

Speaking of doingnothave inside linebackers, Jaylon Smith continues to be a issue for the Giants.

His statistics (nine takeson, 4 solo) might appearance great in the box rating however that doesn’t precisely show his play. He’s a liability in protection inspiteof his speed and often appears out of position.
