Quote from: DaveBrown74 on September 09, 2024, 11:09:37 PMPeople can say whatever the hell they want, but it amazes me that some people are still clinging to this bizarre agenda to try to defend Jones at all costs and somehow whitewash his unconscionably horrific play. Were people not watching yesterday? Good lord, are you kidding me?

Do people have some sort of a Daniel Jones thing? Is that where their allegiance is? Or is their allegiance to the NY Giants and for this team to start consistently winning?

I'm stunned.

Quote from: Doc16LT56 on September 09, 2024, 10:32:20 PMMy God Ed, what does the one story have to do with the other? If you can't work a beat without being paralyzed in fear, you shouldn't be in the job.

That's the danger they face in a high crime city. He didn't roll his blacked out window down and didn't get out of the car when instructed to do so. What if he had a gun? Should he take that chance? Do you know what his training instructed him to do in that situation?

I said the reaction was extreme, but I can understand why and it never would have happened if he did what he was told.

I don't know how bad his speeding was and if it was reckless, but there were four Bikes there for that stop.

It was, but they didn't follow instructions. This is Miami and Cop's lives are potentially at risk at any time or any stop. When I saw the interaction with the audio, it was not what Tyreek described yesterday. Would it have been this excessive if he was white? In that city, it might. Roll your window down when asked. Get out of the car when asked. Give your license when asked.

Playing at a whole other level of intensity.

Quote from: MrGap92 on September 09, 2024, 05:19:05 PMIf I am reading this right, the OL for us graded out much better at 4/5 positions. Wheras the 5th was pretty equal

Pretty encouraging, right?

I feel bad for Daniel Jones. He has worked so very hard to not just improve himself but to rehab back from that Injury. Watching the game and some film after, he looked skittish and unsure of himself, so afraid of making a mistake that he forced errors upon himself. He threw passes in order to avoid a defender and they were off-target because he didn't put himself into them. He crept up in the hands of the pass rush while bidding time for the best window to throw instead of holding his base in a clean pocket. He missed better options by locking on to a Receiver and not going through his progression and seeing his second or third read. Blah, blah blah, blah blah...

He's clearly better than what we saw yesterday. Obviously, I'm not advocating for him to be the future of this franchise, but he wasn't prepared mentally for this game. I have to put that on Daboll. Is he broken? I don't know but he's surely regressed and lost confidence in himself. Between the injuries, getting the xxxx kicked out of him, and 5 QB whisperers, yes count 'em 5 (Shurmur, Garrett, Fredo, Kafka and Daboll) , it's possible they broke him. Quite frankly he was never that good to begin with. Overdrafted after a good Senior Bowl, he was unprepared and unqualified for this step up in competition. There is a switch that has to go off where a QB stops thinking and automatically rides on instinct, where a recognition sparks a physical move. That job ain't easy. It's one of the most difficult things to be proficient at. There are about 5 men in the world who can call themselves elite in any given generation.

But he's not as bad as his worst game yesterday. A couple of subtle changes and he can be salvageable to finish the season. Set up right foot forward to get set in base once the ball hits his hand. Why did they change his stance? Give him two reads on one side of the field in the quick game and if they aren't open then check down.  If there are more hats coming than his protection, give him the ability to change the play. He does well with double mesh on a high-low, but tell him to take the deep shot read first. Set up mismatches during pre-snap movement, and scheme receivers open more plays. Run the ball at least 38% of the time and not 26%, and yes I know they were behind early but stick with Singletary and only spell him for a rest, so he can get in a rhythm. He averaged 3.7 YPC on just 10 snaps with some poor blocking and some good blocking, but the Oline needs to get in a rhythm too. He was in one series and then they trot in Gray, and then Tracy. 10 snaps to your primary back is pathetic. Even if you lose a series or two running, it sets up the game for later. If a Receiver drops a pass, sit him for a play. Not the rest of the game. Ok, Slayton is the better receiver right now, but 1 target for Hyatt? Come on Dabs, 12 Personnel with all those weapons? Dude!

It wasn't all DJ.   

Quote from: uconnjack8 on September 09, 2024, 01:59:32 PMOdd stat I noticed from from the game was 3rd down conversions.

Giants 7-18
Vikings 3-10

Felt like those numbers would have been the opposite. 

Yes, but notice that the Giants were in third down situations 8 more times than the Vikings. Both had 2 turnovers. The Giants had about 3 minutes more of TOP. Giants 9 penalties to Minn. 7.

For Context, Hyatt has a 43.1 Receiving Grade. 9 Passes thrown by Jones in general, 1 Target to Hyatt and 0 Receprtions.
