New York Giants normal supervisor Joe Schoen held his annual bye week press convention on Tuesday.
Sitting alone at a protracted desk in entrance of a gaggle of reporters, Schoen was hit with questions concerning his membership’s many deficiencies this season. He didn’t, nevertheless, have interaction reporters who tried to tug him down a rabbit gap about any regime, coach, or quarterback change.
Benching quarterback Daniel Jones has been a sizzling matter in these components however Schoen refused to take the bait and dive into the topic too deeply.
“We’re going to judge it the remainder of the week and the choices we make can be soccer choices,” he mentioned. “We’re 2-8. So once more, all people must, together with myself, look within the mirror and the way can we do issues higher. That’s what we’re going to proceed to do.
“I perceive you guys wish to ask about Daniel and it’s the quarterback place. I imply, that’s what comes with the territory, particularly on this market. It’s not all on one individual.”
Many beg to vary. Final Sunday towards Carolina in Munich, Jones’ play was a significant contributor to the embarrassing loss. The six-year veteran is regressing with age, it appears. After tossing 24 touchdowns as a rookie in 2019, Jones hasn’t thrown greater than 15 in a season since.
His two interceptions deep in Panthers territory on Sunday — and the Giants’ crimson zone efficiency usually this season — is an indictment of each him and Daboll’s play calling this season.
“We’re going to take a look at options,” mentioned Schoen, once more cautious to not single anybody out. “He’s coming in day by day. He’s working exhausting. The crew is staying collectively. We had a very good apply right this moment on a bye week, which is the primary time we’ve accomplished that in his three years right here. He’s accomplished a very good job, the blokes are competing, maintaining the locker room collectively.
“Once more, we’re in these video games. We’re in these video games. We simply acquired to discover a solution to end it. We’re 1-and-5 in one-score video games. So, we acquired to discover a solution to recover from the hump and make performs at essential instances of the sport, whether or not it’s crimson zone or third down. Or getting off the sphere on protection. Or tackling on punt protection and never permitting a punt return for a landing. Once more, there’s quite a lot of issues that we will take a look at and we have to enhance on.”
True. With a little bit extra focus they may simply be 5-5 as an alternative of 2-8. Six of their eight losses have are available tightly contested video games.
However the takeaway from Tuesday’s presser was clear. If Schoen has any designs on making any modifications, he’s taking part in issues near the vest. The media and followers will know quickly sufficient.
Possibly that’s one cause possession is selecting to maintain him on the management panel whereas they navigate this newest storm.
