Weird that all the buzz last year about Zack Martin saying he was the best run blocking tackle in the game and then how noticeable his absence was felt once he tore up his knee and Tyron tried replacing him on the right side and the run game basically disappeared.
So then I guess within a year's time the guy just totally morphed into a straight garbage player regardless of the ascending player traits he showed last year.
There might be something to that old saying "Not all players heal as fast/the same as other players from torn up knees.

While I do agree that the financial part of the second contract given to the guy is a valid yet separate discussion altogether though.
But again, that's Jerry being Jerry with his second contracts.
Its obvious he isnt the same player physically. His leg is nowhere near ready for him to play fulltime and they should have planned on that before giving the guy 90 mils.

I hope this game is so out of hand be the half that we rest Dak, Parsons, pollard, Hankins, and few others.

We need to get the midget some snaps, along with Luepke, Mazzi, Sam Williams, and a few others some valuable game reps when the game isn’t on the line.
Wishful thinking.

You'll get an ugly 2022 Texans or Titans type win and like it.

No.
They don't need to experiment, they don't need to be cute. What they need is a definitive, no nonsense, statement win. No fucking around. Go with what works and hold your foot to their throats until the clock hits 0:00.

It won't be a "statement" win regardless of what the score is. The Giants are terrible and down to a rookie 3rd string QB and we should beat them and win fairly easy.

Carolina is terrible and we should beat them. Washington is up and down but we are better than them and at home, we should beat them.

They've had two chances at something that could be considered a "statement win" and they failed both times. San Fran was the one that could have been a real barometer for where this team is, and they flopped miserably.

They'll score points, though. And we always struggle on T'giving. The Giants, with an injury shattered secondary, hung with us through three quarters last year.

Not in the traditional sense that everyone thinks of when they hear that phrase, no it would not. But going balls to the wall for four solid quarters, solid and complete execution, winning every phrase of this game in the fashion they should, with an almost ruthless aggression if you will...given that this would be such an abrupt swerve from the effort this team usually gives (or doesn't), that has the potential of being a statement in and of itself.

We beat them 40-0 in week 1 when their entire team was healthy

Now they are hobbled and we appear to be hitting our stride

Which should mean we easily hang a 50 burger on them.

But what likely will happen is we squeak out a win with a last minute 50+ yard field goal

Exactly what I'm talking about. Winning 20-17 won't mean shit. They need to pound them so hard into the ground that the white flag has 20 different shoe prints on it.

And in two games, so far his only contribution is a knuckleheaded personal foul on a fucking touchback.

Last week vs Philly he got zero snaps on defense.

We needed a LB (and probaly a CB) at the trade deadline, but tweedle dee and tweedle dumb sat around pulling their pud instead.

Winning 35-0 wont mean shit either.

We should beat them easily but probably wont. Ultimately it's just another game we should win against a bad team.

Even if we win 35-0, that doesn't mean we're any more likely to win any of those big games after Thanksgiving (or the playoffs if we make it). Hell they had two of the most dominating wins in league history to start a season and then when out and laid a total fucking egg against a team that hasn't beaten anyone other than us all year.

Not really. They did that vs a healthy Giants team and then blew out the Jets the following week, and then lost the lowly fucking Cardinals in week 3.
