The New York Giants met with Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux on Friday on the NFL Mix in Indianapolis, and so they gave him fairly the arduous time.
These aren’t simply rumors — these are the precise phrases utilized by Thibodeaux to clarify the interview. And he wasn’t mad about it.
“I’ve talked to the Giants, we had an excellent interview,” Thibodeaux mentioned. “They had been form of on me, they had been giving me a tough time, however I felt prefer it was like that large brother second the place they provide you a tough time as a result of they’re eager about you and so they such as you. For me, simply exhibiting them that I’m actually a man, I grew up in an enormous metropolis so an enormous metropolis is nothing new to me, proper?”
Particularly, the Giants pressed Thibodeaux on the difficulties of managing big-market media. On this explicit case, the most important market media with essentially the most affect within the nation — the New York media.
“I imply, simply giving me a tough time, like once you carry up what’s gonna occur if I’m not the star coming in, 5 video games in if I don’t have a sack that is what they’re going to be speaking about,” Thibodeaux mentioned. “The media’s gonna be down on me, all people’s gonna be — I’m gonna be within the doghouse, how am I gonna deal with that?”
It’s a good query. If the Giants had been to pick out Thibodeaux and he doesn’t make an instantaneous influence, it wouldn’t even take 5 weeks earlier than he had been known as a “bust.” Followers needs to be criticizing normal supervisor Joe Schoen from the armchair and any try and defend Thibodeaux could be met with swift judgement.
“I allow them to know I’ve been within the media since my sophomore yr of highschool. So I’ve been skilled for this my complete life and I do know that almost all of it’s leisure, proper? So I’m probably not nervous as a result of no matter occurs between the 4 partitions of the staff and the group is what’s gonna dictate the long run and if I’ve 5 dangerous video games we’re gonna deal with that subsequent week, how we’re gonna dominate the staff that’s subsequent,” he mentioned.
That’s the one appropriate reply.
Thibodeaux got here off rather well throughout his media availability and you’ll think about groups felt equally throughout their interviews. Whether or not or not it was sufficient to promote the Giants, nevertheless… Properly, that is still to be seen.
