Daniel Jones' Playing Time This Thursday

Q: It seems like the last few practices have leaned a little more towards the one’s, the starters, getting the work. Will that impact playing time on Thursday night?

A: I don’t know. Generally speaking, I see us playing the game a lot like we did the first two. I still think we’ve got some guys that are in the second and third group that we have to see. We have to see them play. You’ll see the one’s a little bit, too. Maybe more than a little bit. In terms of practice, this is a good little stretch here. We had the game on Friday. We were off Saturday. Yesterday was a very physical, hot practice. We took advantage of the heat today. We did some good situational work that was very physical in the heat. These two practices are very, very important. Just in the big picture, getting ultimately 53 guys ready to play day one. That won’t have as much of a bearing on what I do Thursday night, as it’s just an important thing to do this time of camp.

And then Jones will probably get the rest of the half. I think week 4 Jones will get all of the first half.

And the whole third quarter.

If we open 2nd Half on Defense I might feel otherwise. Also would like Lauletta and Tanney to swap order Week 3.

is where the starters see their most preseason work, then week 4 will be heavy backups.

if Eli did not get a full quarter and more. He won't play in the last pre-season. My guess, Eli Q1+, Jones rest of Q2, and Q3,Q4 to the rest. Jones will get most of the playing time against the Pats.
