Andrew Thomas confident Giants can turn things around — but admits it might ‘take some time’
NY Post
Andrew Thomas’ right foot is in a boot, but neither foot is out the door.
Thomas — one of the Giants’ three best players and a three-time co-captain — expressed confidence Friday that better days are ahead than what have been on display during a franchise-record-tying nine-game losing streak that could be extended Sunday against the Falcons.
“You always have to feel like we’re going to turn it around,” Thomas said in his first interview since suffering a Lisfranc injury to his right foot on Oct. 13. “If you have a negative mindset, you’ll never overcome. I’m trying to be as positive as I can, having this season-ending injury, but I think we have a good collective group of some young players that can play well. It’s going to take some time, but I think we’ll get there.”
Thomas’ health is one of the biggest keys to building a sustainable foundation. The 2022 Second-Team All-Pro is signed to a $117.5 million contract through the 2029 season.
Over the past two seasons, the Giants are 6-10 when Thomas is at left tackle compared to 2-13 and when he is not.
