It’s no secret that the New York Giants put an enormous concentrate on making changes to the offensive facet of the ball this offseason. What could shock some is how a lot effort they put into getting a brand new quarterback within the NFL draft.
Maybe much more stunning than that’s how a lot of that effort the crew let individuals see on the most recent episode of Laborious Knocks.
In response to the episode, Boomer Esiason mentioned that he feels just like the Giants are “caught” with Daniel Jones.
“The second that Joe Schoen goes over to New England and says what he says, and the second they’re interviewing quarterbacks, they’re probably not speaking about Daniel Jones, however they are surely speaking about Daniel Jones,” Boomer mentioned on WFAN Sports activities Radio. “As a result of they don’t know what to anticipate from Daniel Jones.
“You have a look at the accidents… you then take what Joe Buck mentioned throughout certainly one of their video games when Brian Daboll was lamenting to Joe Buck that he needs to be the power and desires his quarterback to be the power, and then you definately take what Wealthy Eisen mentioned in regards to the Giants being executed with Daniel Jones, primarily, they’re caught with Daniel Jones. As I’m sitting right here this morning, that’s how I have a look at it.”
After all, Eisen’s rumor-sharing proved to be incorrect however the the rest of the considerations are warranted.
Jones performed in simply six video games final season earlier than struggling a torn ACL. Previous to his season-ending damage, he accomplished 108 passes for 909 yards, two touchdowns, six interceptions, and was sacked 30 occasions. His 70.5 QBR was the bottom of his profession.
Nonetheless, the Giants may have a completely new offense this season. Saquon Barkley is changed by Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy. Darius Slayton stays on board and is joined by Malik Nabers. There aren’t any main contract disputes to distract them from studying to work collectively.
Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka have their very own causes the Giants have to be profitable this season, but when they’ll get the offense firing on all cylinders, Jones might be able to remind us why the Giants drafted him within the first place.
