4 Ways to Improve the NY Giants’ Offense

Keep Daniel Jones Moving

Following what was a very successful game plan in week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, Garrett seemed to stray away from moving Jones out of the pocket against the Chiefs.

Although the Panthers have a much superior defense than Kansas City, and the Giants had Toney and Shepard back after missing the previous week, this is still an offensive line that hasn’t held up well. Additionally, Shepard and Toney both got hurt during the game, which contributed to the offense’s crippling performance down the stretch.

Having Jones roll out of the pocket creates more positives than negatives.

On the downside, it cuts a portion of the field off, creating less space for the offense to work with as a whole. On the other hand, it buys Jones some time, it makes the defense second guess whether he’s going to throw or take off to run, and it creates less pressure on the offensive line to create a clean pocket each and every drop back.

Even by cutting the field in half, it’ll potentially things for Jones when he makes his reads as he works with very little when it comes to protection and weapons. We’ve seen this offense show some ability to be competent and move the ball down the field, there’s no reason they can’t make do with what they have week-to-week and provide at least some consistency.
