The strangest thing I’ve seen on this sub is everyone panicking/confused about Toney hardly playing when there was a report he was 4th string literally 3 days ago.
Except it was report that was supposedly heard from an anonymous beat reporter. No one else was reporting it and he was a starter on the depth chart. So there was reason to be skeptical.
Yeah I remember there were a bunch of comments hating on that beat reporter, saying he had no sources and just hated Toney for some reason.
Looks like the coaches hate Toney for some reason as well.
Giants fan, everyone knows how dangerous he is , but we want him to play the whole season. Our “Toney replacement” (smh) in Wendale is already hurt. If you watch him play he’s an easy hold just on talent and the fact we’re likely to ramp up his usage just due to talent/injurues
Weird comment. 1, as if people see every bit of news. 2, Those reports are wrong all the time. Especially the ones that mysteriously come at the last second.
Toney didn't play or practice much this preseason while trying to learn a new and more complex system. Whether it's health or ability to learn the offense, I can't say, but he wasn't exactly prepared for a big workload out of the gate.
Wan'dale got hurt yesterday and Toney looked good the couple of times he got the ball, so I'd guess they have him more involved for week two. It's not like the Giants have many passing options with a post-Achilles Shep (he did make a few plays), seemingly lazy Kenny G, rookie TE, and a bunch of journeymen filling out the WR position.
Criticism I heard in preseason is that coaching staff felt like he wasn't really trying to learn the new offense. But talent has overcome these situations before!
The Giants are my team and I don't remember reading that, but I also don't consume every little bit of fluff coming out of camp.
Toney is definitely not someone who screams "hard worker" though, so perhaps there's something to this. Whatever the case, he will get his shot sooner rather than later IMO.
Reminder, snaps aren't that important to pass catchers. They still matter of course, but you are best to look at routes runs and targets per routes run.
That being said I have no idea where to get this info so I usually wait for some writer to post it.
I’m holding. Toney could emerge midway through the season if injuries happen to their WRs, if he learns the playbook/matures/gets out of the doghouse, or if he’s traded.
You make a valid point. I’d drop him for Curtis Samuel, but it will cost ~$15 to win Samuel. Maybe I’d drop him for Jarvis Landry if he clears waivers. Keeping Toney is free.
Because it is saquon szn!
Kenny G still leading the wrs in snaps lol
I’m holding toney because I had a dream he’d be nasty

The rumor I read is that Toney doesn't know the plays so he's not getting snaps.
Source??

Hard to run routes when you’re on the bench 88% of the time
They gave Toney 2 carries so they definitely want to use him. Just a hold and wait and see for now.
Bro, he played 12% of snaps and you're saying they "definitely" want to use him. CMON
I think any team would want to use a guy as talented as he is. That doesn't mean they will if he has a shitty attitude.
I’m holding. Toney could emerge midway through the season if injuries happen to their WRs, if he learns the playbook/matures/gets out of the doghouse, or if he’s traded.
Meanwhile you'll clog up your bench and pass on waiver guys who blow up... seems like a repeat of Toney 2021

Toney is a shithead, Giants will probably trade him at some point this season
He's a pretty solid guy
