1. Let Daniel Jones take some chances

Look, we documented just how good the Eagles secondary is. The Giants need to pound the rock by giving it to Barkley, but they need to let Danny Dimes use his legs. He has burned the Eagles with his legs before. Everyone likes to troll Jones for his trip in Philadelphia two years ago, but we cannot forget he ran 80 yards on the play. He also put the burners on, hitting a top speed of 21.2 miles per hour.

In addition to letting him use his legs, the coaching staff needs to unleash his arm. In order to beat a team you are massive underdogs against, you need to throw the ball down the field. Jones unleashed some beautiful deep balls to Darius Slayton last week, and we cannot forget that if Slayton had not dropped the 50-yard bomb down the field late in the fourth quarter, the Giants would have beaten Washington.

If the Giants truly think Jones is a franchise quarterback, they need to just let him do his thing this weekend. He does not turn the ball over, so let him take chances. If Jones cooks, and the coaching staff gives him an opportunity to do so, the Giants may just shock the football world on Sunday.
