Injury Report: Immediately The Game Started They Discover That Giants Star has seriously….
The 2023 season was a major downer for the New York Giants. There were a few surprises and glimmers of hope on the defensive side of the ball, but it wasn’t enough to extend the season.
The front office issues plagued the team and resulted in more upheaval with the “parting of ways” with Wink Martindale.
In the wake of the blinders being ripped off around the whole Wink/Brian Daboll fiasco, let’s take a look at nine players (in no particular order) who disappointed the most in 2023.
Ask him and he’ll tell you, Andrew Thomas had a down year. He injured his hamstring during the Week 1 debacle against the Dallas Cowboys and never returned to his consistently dominant form. He still played well considering his injury, but 2023 was his lowest-graded season since his rookie year. Thomas is an elite offensive lineman, but his play this year was disappointing even though it was not entirely his fault.
John Michael Schmitz struggled all season and was the lowest-graded center in the league. He had an odd snap problem that resulted in Justin Pugh repeatedly tipping the snap count. Let’s factor in that he’s a rookie who had to work with three different quarterbacks because of injuries, and he had his own injuries to deal with, but he still did not perform as expected. Maybe it wasn’t his fault, maybe it was, but he has to improve if he wants to remain a starter.
