4 Daniel Jones plays that make us not want to give up on him
By Reese Nasser
1. A perfect pass from the pocket
As noted, Jones has not often had the best protection from his offensive line. This has in turn altered how he has thrown the ball. But when given a clean pocket, he has shown he can throw a pass exactly where it needs to be.
During Week 2, the Giants faced a 3rd-and-9 at their own 25 yard line. While trailing by seven, and struggling to move the ball down the field, Jones delivered maybe one of the most accurate passes of his career.
With the pocket slowly collapsing, and a defender making a break for Jones, he stood in the pocket looking as composed as ever. He delivered a dime to wide receiver Richie James, with four Panthers in the area. And the pass was put into a spot where only James could haul it in.
In this play, Jones looked as confident as ever. Even with pressure coming, he did what had to be done to keep the drive alive. A confident Jones could be dangerous, especially in an NFC East that seems to be up for grabs.
If the Giants offense can play at full strength, they could become elite. Both Kadarius Toney and Robinson are still trying to get back to 100%. And the team is currently in the middle of a Kenny Golladay saga. But with Barkley running strong alongside Jones, this unit looks to be in a good position.
