The New York Giants are 2-7 on the halfway level of the common season and their playoff hopes are all however dashed. Regardless of that, there might be few modifications.
It can stay enterprise as common in East Rutherford, and that features Daniel Jones staying below middle because the group’s beginning quarterback.
“He’s,” head coach Brian Daboll mentioned when requested if Jones would proceed because the starter. “Nothing modifications.”
Whereas that information comes as a shock to some, particularly contemplating the monetary implications ought to Jones get harm, it shouldn’t. He performed his greatest sport of the season in Sunday’s loss to the Washington Commanders, amassing 228 complete yards and three mixed touchdowns.
These numbers would have been much more spectacular had referees not referred to as again a Wan’Dale Robinson landing (OPI) and his receivers didn’t drop 5 passes (solely three had been formally counted).
“I believed he did a pleasant job. The week earlier than I believed he did a number of good issues. Once more, whenever you lose, it doesn’t really feel like several of that. However he made a number of good performs for us,” Daboll mentioned. “He had the batted ball, we had Malik (Nabes) behind it. A pair different balls that had been form of proper off the ideas of a few guys right here. However I feel he executed the offense effectively and gave us a possibility.”
Whether or not sticking with Jones is perceived as the right determination or not, Daboll has been agency and sincere concerning the group’s plans. He’s by no means moved off the notion that DJ will proceed to begin as long as he stays wholesome.
Nonetheless, ought to Jones lay an egg in Germany towards the Carolina Panthers, issues might then turn into topic to vary.
