good morning, New York Giants <\/strong>fans!<\/p>\n

Giants-Vikings injury report: Giants ‘encouraged’ by Adoree’ Jackson<\/h4>\n

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that he continues to be encouraged by the progress of cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, who has not played since Week 11 due to a sprained MCL.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think he feels good,\u201d Daboll said. \u201cI think (Thursday) is another important day for him. Encouraged, hopeful, but I think we have to go through these next two days seeing progress. We have to see how he does rep after rep after rep. I think he’s making progress, but, again, he never want to put anybody out there that’s not fully ready to go or (does n’t) feel ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jackson was officially listed as a limited practice participant. The Giants added two players to the injury report \u2014 right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) and wide receiver Marcus Johnson (knee). Both were listed as limited participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI regret it in the aspect that I feel like the focus of the game was now put somewhere else,\u201d a reflective Shepard said. \u201cIn the building I felt like we were all good, but guys leave the building and turn on the TV and it was on all day around here. It definitely drew away from where the attention should’ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI know it’s a playoff game, more attention and more eyes. But to me, I won’t be nervous. I’ll be hyped, I get hyped for every single game. But nervous? I wouldn’t say that. For me, it’s just another football game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a player, as a competitor, you want these moments. This is stuff you dream about as a kid. Playing in the playoffs, going into a hostile environment, loud, making big plays, silencing the crowd. That’s stuff you think about as a kid and that opportunity is here,\u201d Barkley said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just who does Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux think he is? A player bound for greatness, that’s who | NJ.com<\/h4>\n

From the get-go, Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale entrusted Thibodeaux with a critical role in his base scheme \u2014 strong-side linebacker, commonly known as the \u201cSam.\u201d Pre-snap duties for that job \u2014 offensive formation recognition, confidently yelling out defensive alignment adjustments \u2014 are too daunting for most rookies.<\/p>\n

Not Thibodeaux. He plays speed chess, reads finance books, and had a 3.8 GPA in high school. He will interview the accounts who do his taxes this year.<\/p>\n

Ranking all 14 NFL playoff quarterbacks: Strengths, Weaknesses | ESPN.com<\/h4>\n

8. Daniel Jones, New York Giants. Jones attacks the middle of the field really well, showing some high-end ball placement. His 75.9% completion rate on throws between the hashes ranks second in the NFL. And he has become a rushing asset for the Giants ‘offense, picking up just shy of 600 yards with his feet in 2022.<\/p>\n

I do wonder if his \u201cgood\u201d is good enough, though. Can Jones carry the Giants to a string of playoff wins? The supporting cast doesn’t have the same talent as other NFC contenders, so Jones will have to take over at times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How Giants QB Daniel Jones has proved he’s ‘built for New York’ | The Athletic<\/h4>\n

David Cutcliffe, who once coached Eli Manning at Ole Miss, sees qualities in Jones that Manning possessed that he believes are imperative to playing quarterback in the New York market.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou have to be built for that, and I think Daniel is built well for New York,\u201d Cutcliffe said. \u201cHe’s not ever gonna get full of himself. If you don’t get full of yourself, you can’t be chopped down. He’s a pretty level-headed young man.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI went on the back of the plane, and I told them, ‘We’ve got a playoff defense, guys. We got beat by a buzzer beater at half-court’.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

NFL Teams That Should Target DeAndre Hopkins | Bleach Report<\/h4>\n

Adding Hopkins to an offense that features Jones and Barkley would give New York three legitimate playmakers around which to build. It could also help further Jones’ development.<\/p>\n

The Giants have the cap space ($56.8 million projected) to make a trade work. With their top two receivers, Darius Slayton and Richie James, set to hit the open market, they also have a massive need at receiver. There’s no reason for New York to not make a run at Hopkins if he does land on the trade block.<\/p>\n

Garrett Bradbury has full participation Thursday; Cameron Dantzler remains out | ProFootballTalk<\/h4>\n

Vikings center Garrett Bradbury had a full practice Thursday, putting him on track to return to game action this weekend. Bradbury was limited in Wednesday’s work, his first practice since Dec. 15.<\/p>\n

Bradberry has not played since Dec. 4 and was working his way back from his lower back injury when he was involved in a car wreck Dec. 17 that aggravated his injury.<\/p>\n

Rematch, QBs Facing Pressure & Opportunity at Home | Vikings.com<\/h4>\n

The Vikings plugged up the running lanes for Saquon Barkley much like Manhattan traffic the last time \u2014 until they didn’t. Barkley’s 27-yard touchdown on his last touch of the game gave him 84 yards on 14 carries (6.0 per run).<\/p>\n

Plug that one gap, and the Vikings would have limited the game-changer to 57 on 13 (a tolerable average of 4.4).<\/p>\n

Minnesota allowed 123.1 rushing yards per game this season, which ranked 20th, despite only allowing one player (Aaron Jones in Week 17) to rush for more than 100 in a game.<\/p>\n

Searching for Playoff Lenny; Cardiac Kirk Cousins \u200b\u200b| Football Outsiders<\/h4>\n

It’s late in the fourth quarter of this edition of Walkthrough: time for Kirk Cousins \u200b\u200bto play the hero. Cousins \u200b\u200bled eight game-winning drives in 2022, tying the highest figure on record. Matthew Stafford led eight game-winning drives back in 2016.<\/p>\n

So a team with seven-plus game-winning final drives might be led by Hall of Famer compensating for a weak defense, but it’s more likely to be a team so lucky and random that they are remembered decades later not for winning a Super Bowl, but for being lucky and random.<\/p>\n
