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 group 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 in regards to the move rush, which the protection is constructed on, however Thibodeaux was having none of it.
That is unacceptable conduct from Kayvon Thibodeaux.
0 tackles, was requested a very legitimate query, and that is how he responds? I assumed he wished to be one of many greats? Not like this.
Again within the days of Tom Coughlin, with these leaders, this is able to by no means occur. pic.twitter.com/kZFYIy2mjN

“You already know that rather a lot is on you and the move rush up entrance, that’s what this group is meant to be constructed on. How a lot…” Raanan started to ask.
“Anyone else bought questions?” Thibodeaux stated earlier than skipping over Raanan.
The interplay drew warranted criticism of Thibodeaux however he didn’t let it carry over into this week.
Following observe on Wednesday, Thibodeaux was once more made accessible 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 stated with fun. “And (senior director of soccer communications) Dion (Dargin) goes to be the referee.”
“I don’t like my probabilities,” Raanan joked. “They’re not good.”
After the locker room had closed, Raanan posted in regards to the interplay on X.
“Need no a part of this. It received’t finish properly for me,” Raanan stated, including a number of laughing emojis.
With frustrations already starting to mount in East Rutherford, it was good to see Thibodeaux and Raanan have a bit enjoyable with the entire thing. The lighthearted second softens the optics from final week however until the group begins profitable, these good emotions will solely final so lengthy.
