I remember when Gunner was here I’d wince all the time when he returned kicks because he got hit hard A LOT.
He’s carved out a good career returning kicks, but I think his body is going to pay the price for it. He just seems like one of those guys who is a magnet for big collisions.
Dude was a heat seeking missile
The Giants really have no one to blame but themselves. Ellis was just playing ball, they were putting themselves in harm’s way.
Huge hits on Giants players, finger wagging them on primetime, saying Dart should have slid in his post game interview. Elliss is becoming an NFL heel.
Hit on Gunner was a little questionable. Not saying it was intentional but probably shouldn’t be part of the game. Other than that, man was laying the wood. Loved it.
Thought Bryan Cox came out of retirement to get in on the fun
I hope Gunners okay
Most teams over look a shitty Giants team going into the latest bye week in the league.
Vrabel has this team locked the fuck in, moving as a unit. They played absolutely pissed off last night, Idk if I’ve ever seen a team play like that to open the game
Cte was running wild like hulkamania out there . When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
Dude the Giants were trying to fight after every big hit lmao that was a very cathartic win
He is 100% going to be “random” drug tested after those hits
The whole team was. Defense looked physical af. We badly need that against buffalo
Giants players existing near Elliss:
Ellis was on one last night….OMG
Things got heated really early in the game when the Giants started shoving. I think Elliss wasn’t about to let that slide.
I could have sworn Rodney Harrison himself had suit up last night!
The Dart hit was completely legal. And with how some QBs tend to toe the line and try to squeeze a few extra yards from the fear of a hit out of bounds, it felt extra satisfying.
The Gunner hit was pretty much incidental. If you look at the replay, you can see he’s lowering the shoulder and preparing for a standard tackle and then Mapu gets to Gunner first and redirects him straight into Elliss. People watch that in slow motion and think he had time to react and change his position or something. The target literally moved 2 feet to its right in a fraction of a second.
Does anyone know if he got a game ball? He earned one.
BS the way he’s being portrayed tho. This is football, its fast and hard hitting. When someone’s head moves last second and it happens to move in the way of yours.. wtf can you do about it? Same thing when Maye got hit on the slide last year and concussed. He slide late, shits on him. I had no problem with it.
The Gunner hit sucked, but he was hit right before and thats what caused the helmet to helmet. It sucks it happened and I hope Gunner is ok but you either accept this can happen in football or you put the flags on them.
Qb on the sideline? Get out or get it. Period. Glad they aren’t letting them get away with that like they used to. Remember getting called for a “late” hit on Allen because he was only still a yard inbounds lol
He chose violence
The hits on Dart were legal. Someone needs to show those Giants players the rulebook
What kills me on targeting, both in NFL and NCAA is when runner lowers shoulder and head causing the defender to contact them first with the helmet when originally the hit was lined up to be chest or waist. I wish they’d call offensive players for that also, that might help take some of the protection away from running recklessly.
Even Gonzalez popped someone last night
All of Ellis’s hits were completely legal last night and anyone who gets sick or upset by those should go find another sport to root for.
Maybe tennis or Pickleball is more their speed.
That was solid, hard hitting football, but no dirty play. For those of us who are older, we used to see this sort of thing every single Sunday.
Football is a violent sport. If you have athletes, the size of football players playing at 100% effort even with hundred percent legal play at times people are gonna take big hits and they’re gonna get hurt.
The only dirty hit he really had was against gunner and even then before gunner was going down he already was lowering his shoulder to make a hit, I dot. Think the helmet to helmet was intentional
Sign this guy to a 3 year deal. I’ve seen all I needed to see.
I really feel like the Giants started it. It felt like multiple times their O-line specifically tried to start shit on their first drive and then after that our defense started laying the wood in ways we have not seen this season. lol
