The New York Giants are attempting desperately to enhance after their gut-wrenching 2023 efficiency. Shedding their beginning quarterback halfway by the season didn’t assist, and everybody was able to see what Daniel Jones needed to provide after recovering from a torn ACL.
Jones’ outing on Saturday didn’t encourage hope for a lot of, however others have been much less vital.
He hadn’t seen any sport motion since Week 9 of the 2023 season so most weren’t certain what to anticipate, however nobody anticipated Jones throwing two interceptions. Nonetheless, he accomplished 11 of 18 passes for 138 yards, rushed for 12 yards, and didn’t take a single sack.
There have been combined critiques about Jones’ play towards the Houston Texans, however head coach Brian Daboll isn’t frightened.
“Properly, I believed there was two performs that we’d prefer to have again, however he performed quick,” Daboll informed reporters on Sunday. “It’s completely different once you’re on the market in apply. This was good for him to get on the market and get some stay reps with the frenzy, the flexibility to get hit, he had that scramble. However I’d say he operated nicely within the pocket.
“The interception, it’s a one-on-one throw down the sideline to (large receiver Jalin) Hyatt. So, you bought to do an excellent job of saving some area and going up there and giving him a chance that if the ball’s up there, we bought to go up there and get it. So, I believed he made plenty of good selections as the sport went on, made some good throws, and guys create some separation and a few drops.”
Daboll went on to say that they’d all prefer to have the pick-6 again, however that’s a throw Jones could not have made throughout the season and tried it solely as a result of it was preseason.
In the end, Daboll appeared happy with DJ’s play.
“However first time on the market after an extended layoff, stay ball, it was good for him,” he mentioned.
Errors are going to occur in each sport, no participant is immune. Each participant within the Giants locker room, together with Jones, took away some studying expertise from that loss — expertise they’ll use to get higher and win the subsequent one.
