After an exciting round of week 10 games, we are in week 11. In simming through the week 11 practice, the Giants have gotten worse with their injuries. Each week we will go over the injury report and practice focus players before the game and update the depth chart at that position.
Focus Players:
C John Michael Schmitz: Schmitz is the current and future center for the New York Giants.
He and the rest of the Giants offensive lineman are “under siege.” They have a goal this week to limit as many sacks as can be and if they can limit them to under 2 they will get some sort of award. The Giants offensive line is their worst position so they could use this reward if it is xp. It will help Schmitz get over the hump and get this close upgrade as well.
ROLB Kayvon Thibodeaux: Ever since Kayvon was focused on, he has done better in games. He is close to another upgrade and will be looking to increase his pass rushing moves. He has gotten at least 10 attribute requests put into him and is close to the 85 max for power moves so any upgrades there will help going forward.
MLB Isaiah Simmons: Simmons is the only free agent that the Giants have locked up to a long term contract and it’s for a very good reason. Simmons is the star of the defense and will be for the rest of the cycle. He only needs 2000 xp to get an upgrade where he will hopefully get a speed upgrade to make him the fastest linebacker in the league.
WR Darius Slayton 77 OVR – 3 weeks (Knee Cartilage Tear)
Slayton was the number one wide receiver on this team before he got hurt. His absence was missed last week as Hyatt wasn’t as successful as he has been all year. Coach Burn will have to focus on Robinson and Campbell for the next few weeks with teams focusing on Hyatt.
DT Daquon Jones 76 OVR – 1weeks (Torn Labrum)
Jones will come back next week versus one of the best rushing teams in the league. He will hopefully plug up the middle of the field and make the Patriots beat the Giants through the air.
CB Aaron Robinson 71 OVR – 0 weeks IR (Knee Cartilage Tear)
Robinson is still on the IR list due to the Giants picking up a few veteran corners the past two weeks. At this point he will stay here and just be developed through attribute requests in order for him to start next season.
MLB Jarrad Davis 70 OVR – 19 weeks IR (Complete MCL Tear)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
TE Tommy Sweeny 64 OVR – 0 weeks IR (Ruptured Disk)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury as he will stay on IR. No change from week 1. He will stay on IR for the rest of the season.
C J.C Hassenauer 62 OVR – 14 weeks IR (Torn Tricep)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
TE Chris Myarick 59 OVR – 9 weeks IR (Broken Hand)
He was a backup piece and will not be with the Giants next season when he heals from his injury. No change from week 1.
