It started out as a soft hum, quickly gained steam in all corners of the locker room and became so loud that Kayvon Thibodeaux could not keep a straight face.
The Giants have benefited from other great individual performances over the last five years, when wins were harder to come by. But the level of awareness and appreciation for Thibodeaux was a rarity. That the attention was showered on a rookie seemed to speak volumes about egoless veterans and the way Thibodeaux has assimilated with a big personality and a bigger contract “I think the players have a lot of respect for him,” head coach Brian Daboll said.
Second-round pick Wan’Dale Robinson and fourth-rounder Daniel Bellinger accounted for two of the three touchdowns “We had a plan going into this game,” Daboll said, “and we’ll play him hopefully a little bit more this week.” Daniel Bellinger makes a catch against the Ravens.Right tackle Evan Neal — drafted two picks after Thibodeaux in the first round — received his highest blocking grade of the season and didn’t allow a quarterback hit. The Giants tweaked Neal’s vertical pass sets, which led to a slow adjustment.
Fourth-round safety Dane Belton, who already has two fumble recoveries, joined Thibodeaux, Neal and Bellinger in the starting lineup. He finished with six tackles and a pass defended while playing 71 percent of the defense snaps. Third-rounder Josh Ezeudu played four snaps at guard when the offensive line was temporarily reshuffled because of center Jon Feliciano’s groin injury.
