the New York Giants It appears to be affected by serious injuries almost every year. Last year, Kayyon Thepodos missed five games, Dixter Lawrence has missed over the past six weeks with a khula elbow, Andrew Thomas has fell early in this season, and other players were injured with less injuries.
Not all injuries are created equally.
For example, Thibodeaux missed five weeks, but Azeez Ojulari intervened and produced well during Thibs exit. The same cannot be said about Lawrence and Thomas’s losses, both of which are an integral part of each lines.
Despite the great losses in 2024, The giants ranked 13th in the missing games (AGL). This comes from Aaron Shatz in an analysis of FTN imagination.
Shatz looked at the injury data of all 32 American Football Association teams and classified them based on the impact of injuries.
Just as we did on our old website, I continued to collect data from the weekly reports of the US Football Association (with the help of Zach Benny from Emory University) and turned them into modified games. We also have data that retreat, covering the entire twenty -first century. Lost modified games not only add the total injuries. It explains both absent players and those who play less than 100 %, and specifically measures injuries to expected beginners and important circumstantial players instead of a little backup. As such, AGL appreciates the effect of injuries on the difference and provides a similar group that is often explained by the briefing of the reason for the improvement of the difference or decreased from year to year. (AGL was created by Bill Barwell.)
The thirteenth general ranking of the giants is divided into 13 (28.8) in the attack and 17 (41.5) on the defense, which is a great step from its twenty -sixth classification in 2023.
However, it is still a way out of being competitors in the qualifiers if they cannot prevent, or at least compensate the injured players. Last year, six of the eight qualifiers had the lowest AGL.
To address this problem, the giants have made changes to their strength and air conditioners. They added Dr. Matthew Fresh as a director of feeding performance, and Drew Wilson promoted him to the Director of Power and Air Conditioning, and she rented Chris Allen and Mark Nilor as assistants of coaches in strength and air conditioning.
The strength and air conditioning, as well as food programs, may seem slightly different from the giants in 2025, but the idea is to maintain the health of the largest possible number of players. Not only beginners, specifically the influencers and leaders on both sides of the ball, but players on the bench should be available to provide depth. They should also be able to intervene and produce enough to reduce beginners loss.
Infections cannot be avoided by 100 percent. Football is a material game, the players are aggressive, and the competition keeps everyone playing at a high level. However, if the players ’bodies are in the best food and air -conditioned possible, the injuries that cannot be prevented will have a lower effect. Not only because of the depth, but because these injuries will not be dangerous with the body at the top.
There is still a job to do, but Joe Shwin’s giants seem ready to have a decent season.
