Following a 28-6 drubbing by the hands of the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux was understandably pissed off.
Not solely had his staff fallen flat of their season-opener, however Thibodeaux was largely unproductive. He recorded a single QB hit and nothing extra.
Instantly after the sport, he was requested by ESPN beat author Jordan Raanan concerning the go rush, which the protection is constructed on, however Thibodeaux was having none of it.
That is unacceptable habits from Kayvon Thibodeaux.
0 tackles, was requested a very legitimate query, and that is how he responds? I believed he needed to be one of many greats? Not like this.

“You understand that quite a bit is on you and the go rush up entrance, that’s what this staff is meant to be constructed on. How a lot…” Raanan started to ask.
“Anyone else received questions?” Thibodeaux mentioned earlier than skipping over Raanan.
The interplay drew warranted criticism of Thibodeaux however he didn’t let it carry over into this week.
Following apply on Wednesday, Thibodeaux was once more made out there to the media and appeared to squash no matter perceived beef there was between Raanan and himself.

“Begin this off by saying, me and Jordan Raanan, we’re slap-boxing after this. Charity occasion. Y’all can purchase tickets — get them at Giants.com,” Thibodeaux mentioned with fun. “And (senior director of soccer communications) Dion (Dargin) goes to be the referee.”
“I don’t like my possibilities,” Raanan joked. “They’re not good.”
After the locker room had closed, Raanan posted concerning the interplay on X.
“Need no a part of this. It gained’t finish properly for me,” Raanan mentioned, including a number of laughing emojis.
With frustrations already starting to mount in East Rutherford, it was good to see Thibodeaux and Raanan have just a little enjoyable with the entire thing. The lighthearted second softens the optics from final week however until the staff begins successful, these good emotions will solely final so lengthy.
