One of many brilliant spots coming into the 2024 season for the New York Giants was their dynamic move rush duo of outdoor linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and edge rusher Brian Burns.
Their efficiency within the Giants’ 28-6 opening-week loss to the Minnesota Vikings was lower than inspiring. In actual fact, it was virtually invisible.
Vikings offensive tackles Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill stored the duo off the stat sheet — no sacks and only one QB hit between them.
The Giants had only one sack, by defensive sort out Dexter Lawrence, and the dearth of stress allowed quarterback San Darnold to function unfettered. He accomplished 19 of 24 passes for 208 yards and a landing for a QB ranking of 113.2.
Retired offensive lineman and present NFL analyst Brian Baldinger broke down the Vikings’ dominance.

On Monday, head coach Brian Daboll mentioned the preparation was not the difficulty, the Vikings simply did a wonderful job in move safety.
“I believe among the video games have been good, the stunts and the video games we used,” mentioned Daboll. “I’d say the stress was actually good inside with Dexter when he was lined up in there. Once more, they performed the sport. They performed it effectively. They have been enjoying in favorable conditions. They stand up, we get down.
“The sport’s managed a bit of bit. So, we bought to do a greater job of enjoying complementary soccer. Offense, protection, kicking sport to be sure that we are able to get into extra of these conditions.”
sick play. Brian Burns tries to chop inside to fill the B hole (mid zone’s favored hole) and darrisaw punishes him with the hook – precisely the way you’re imagined to play it however that’s not a simple adjustment on the fly. Jones has to kind this all out too pic.twitter.com/cUKC2Bstrt

After the sport, a annoyed Thibodeaux was quick with reporters, dodging questions concerning the egg he and his staff simply laid.
That is unacceptable conduct 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.
Again within the days of Tom Coughlin, with these leaders, this could by no means occur. pic.twitter.com/kZFYIy2mjN

Thibodeaux must be extra accommodating and mature than this. As they are saying, success has 1,000,000 moms whereas failure is an orphan. He’s bought to remain skilled win or lose.
