Practice notes:
-Jones was better today, particularly in the two-minute drill. He had a pass knocked down at the line for the third straight practice -- something to watch.
-Ximines got some reps with the 1's with Golden sidelined. More in the mix than I expected so soon.

Were any of Jones's snaps from Under Center?
Cheers!

I saw Jones taking snaps under center, in the pistol, and in shotgun

Good to hear because although Jones did play some from Under Center as a Soph, he was in the Gun almost exclusively last year. That may or may not have had something to do with pass protection. In any case, Eli took 41% of his snaps from Under Center, last year despite the Giants 63.7/36.3% Pass/Rush Ratio which not only ranked 5th highest in the NFL but, even with Barkley alongside, was the most one-sided in Eli's career.
I think many of us are assuming that the Giants will look to reduce its pass to run ratio which might only increase the snaps from under Center. That is, if the Oline and especially the Defense cooperates. As for Jones being seen in the pistol, that makes some real sense. I've noted how well he executed the RPOs which Duke ran on rare occasion. I can just imagine a guy with Jones's running skills being well suited to execute Pistol-set RPO and Read Option plays.
Cheers!
Painter, can you explain what the pistol means? Thanks!

In the "pistol formation", the quarterback lines up four yards behind the center, which is much closer than the seven yard setback in a traditional shotgun formation. The running back then lines up three yards directly behind the quarterback, which is in contrast to the shotgun where they are beside each other. That leaves the quarterback close enough to the line of scrimmage to still be able to read the defense, as he would in the I formation, but far enough back to give him extra time and a better vision of the field for passing plays as in the shotgun. But the pistol formation is more versatile in terms of RPOs and Read options if the QB is a legitimate threat to run the ball. Jones is such a threat.
Cheers!
Thanks Painter!
