Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 15, 2024, 01:53:41 PMThat's a lot easier to do when you are playing behind a very good OL and not an historically bad OL.When y'all are crying because they didnt draft a QB, Ill be there to provide comfort and shelter from the storm.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 15, 2024, 01:43:32 PMLet's see how long he has in the pocket before he has to start running for his life.And the beat goes on...
Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 15, 2024, 11:19:28 AMIs this anything new? For the past 5 years it's been Barkley and now it's Lawrence and Thibs. The best players on the team or flashy 1st rd picks are typically the focus of the media.It is sad that the highest paid player has never been considered the face of the franchise.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 15, 2024, 09:34:21 AMI don't remember the first neck injury. However the second one was a hit in the back because Ezeudu completely wiffed his block. The ACL was from trying to get out of the pocket because his protection had completely broken down. DJ actually was trying to get around his unengaged RT to escape the pressure from his left.
Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on May 15, 2024, 06:34:34 AMI think this is extremely important this year. One has to assume that his rushing production will take a hit post-ACL unless he has an Adrian Peterson-like recovery.It won't matter if he hasn't learned how to slide or take an Eli dive. He's apparently too rigid of a body or not athletic enough to be able to slide. One of his issues is taking off after the first read. Because he can't read the field past his first read, or hesitates and windows close. Something the apologists and pilot fish are too stubborn or obtuse to accept. Which are the same traits he exhibits.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 15, 2024, 06:03:19 AMTell that to MVP QB Lamar Jackson.Jackson can throw the ball downfield while scrambling and running or from the pocket and not get hurt to the point of losing a massive amount of time.
Seriously, it's not like officials forced the Giants to punt when DJ's legs pick up a first down. It's not like officials tell the score keeper to remove that touchdown because DJ ran it in rather than threw it. Yardage, first downs, and touchdowns all count the same regardless if DJ got them through the air or on the ground.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 14, 2024, 04:34:31 PMIt is the fact that the opportunity to set the tone and intensity is so reduced that what opportunity is there needs to be addressed with a sense of urgency. I don't think we saw that last year. My hope is that it changes this year. But the early signs from rookie camp don't give me the warm fuzzies.You make me wonder if Daboll survives another bad season.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 14, 2024, 07:46:46 PMHe's paid to throw the ball. Quarterback.Let's see how he does this year in the pocket.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 14, 2024, 07:45:19 PMHow many rushing yards did Jones contribute?He's paid to throw the ball. Quarterback.
Quote from: todge on May 14, 2024, 07:10:56 PMEd: no one has confirmed why Daboll ran a simplified offense that year. But did you ever consider it was constructed that way to accommodate an awful pass blocking OL and a WR corp lacking of any talent?Barkley ran for 84 yards and Jones 34. Against Indy Jones passes for 177 yards. He passed for 135 and 169 yards against Philly. He passed for 300 yards three times that year and two times against Minnesota. Twelve games of 200 yards or less. So no.
As to the Vikings - Jones passed for 300 yards and ran for 100 while Barkley ran for 53 yards. Why did Barkley struggle against a weak defense and Jones didn't?
