As expected, defenses starting to gameplan Jones

Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/20/2019 6:45 pm
This often happens. New QB comes out hot. Leagues catches up with them. Now it's up to Jones to see if he can adjust.

1. Patrick Peterson tells me vs Daniel Jones, @AZCardinals
wanted to close middle of field, give him confusing looks & play coverage. “We saw he had trouble with that 2-shell against NE.”
2. PP clearly preferred to talk to @DeionSanders
(as he also did).

Because I was playing Bethpage Black, how bad was it?

He had two killer drops by Engram and Fowler too.

And he picked the middle of the field with Tate regular basis. Don’t get the comment

As was Manning the least of our problems....the idea is for someone to come in and be our leader, while we can all say it's very early in his career and it is, I know what I am looking for, plenty of time for him to show it, but in my mind it is not a given that he is the answer.

He first INT was a huge fucking mistake by out rookie QB! He threw a ball where only two Cardinals could catch it, His receiver was totally blanketed. Really quite ugly.

more of a indictment on Shurmur. If the defense takes something away then call plays that take advantage.

One thing I am seeing is that when they can't run the ball the offense goes to crap.

3 missing elements on O  
idiotsavant : 10/20/2019 6:54 pm : link
1. Reliable outside zone runs.
2. Instantness on runs.
3. _Designed_ QB runs (more instant than broken play QB runs).

All 3 - things that help an OL have success!

Today looked like Macadoo Ball.

Note to Mara's. Fans are mostly.systrm agnostic, not on a high horse. High floor low ceiling with a running QB coupled with tough D is more fun to watch than "high ceiling lots of potential A list stuff, but it's not functioning right now, sorry "

Seemed to me that the few times DJ had time to throw, he had some nice passes. He also made some good plays with his legs.
Our Giants have had crappy Olines since around 2011.

Teams that want to stop DJ merely need to attack the porous Oline over and over.
Jones made some good plays today  
Mike from Ohio : 10/20/2019 7:01 pm : link
He also made a lot of plays that were dumb rookie mistakes. The first interception was just terrible decision making. While the line was atrocious, in a lot of cases he did a poor job of feeling the pressure and moving.

And the ball security is clearly becoming a significant issue. That needs to get addressed.

I still think he can be a very good NFL QB. But he has a lot of things to work on to get there.
That first int  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 10/20/2019 7:03 pm : link

AcidTest : 10/20/2019 7:04 pm : link
receivers can't separate. That and wretched OL play are the main reasons the offense is moribund, and why he holds the ball too long and throws into extremely tight windows. He's done more than enough for Giants fans to be excited.
Zero wideouts

So that makes it a bit easier to game plan for anyone. They also don’t use Barkley properly.
Add in the line sucking and jones needing to improve his awareness and pre snap reads - like most rookies. Well yeah it will be a shit show at times
But jones is still passing the eye test and getting the team up and down the field despite this. His turnovers are awful though
Shurmer put the kid in some very tough situations today  
Chris L. : 10/20/2019 7:07 pm : link
I sure hope we get a new coach in here because Shurmer could really screw this kid up. Having said all that like most young QB's Jones holds the ball too long and that causes a lot of his problems and needs to be cleaned up.

Agree. The int was bad, but all qbs have head-scratching throws. Through five games, I would say the most concerning thing is his pocket awareness. The 2nd fumble was bad and one we saw in the second preseason game. Other than that, he's got the tools and a lot to be excited about. He threw some dimes today in the bad weather and under constant duress
I don’t know  
Essex : 10/20/2019 7:08 pm : link
besides the first interception, I thought he played well. I was at the game and he had some really fight windows. I also feel comfortable saying that the TD to Rhett Ellison, very few, if any, qbs can make that throw. Talk about threading the needle.

Does he hold on to the ball too long? Yes.
Does he force the ball into stupid situations? Yes

Those are all rookie and corectable.
Is he deadly accurate? Yes
Can he throw down field accurately? Yes
That is much harder to teach.

I am happy with him and I am generally pessimistic

I don't care if Jones is a rookie or not, when you at home against this type of defense you have to light it up. Especially with Barkley and Engram back.

There is no open throw with spacing and curl routes against a Tampa 2, maybe something to the flats for a few yards. Clearly other teams are picking up on Shermer's predictable playcalling.

gives them a better chance to win but we are playing for the future. So, that means watching Jones play awful, miss wide open receivers, fumble, not check out of bad plays, hold the ball too long, and have Shurmur make it worse by his horrendous play calls. It's going to be a long season.

What?? He was terrible. That pick was god awful. The constant fumbles are brutal. He missed Barkley wide open on a key down when should have noticed the mismatch pre-snap. He may not be the future. He played one good game. One! The rest were bad.
Jones looks like he did at Duke  
since1925 : 10/20/2019 7:47 pm : link
He is great throwing under 10 yards and when given time will move through his progression. His ball security is suspect. His awareness needs improvement. But he is poised for QB his age. The game doesn't seem too big for him.

None of what happens right now matters. The bigger issues are will he become a game manager or a stud, will he be the guy with two minutes on the clock, is he tough enough to take the beatings that will come over the next couple years, we can speculate but the answers will eventually be obvious. In the meantime, let's hope he has more good moments than bad.

bw...that's his point. DJ, while not great today, was getting battered, plus the bad weather, and a suspicious running game combined for the horrible results. DJ needs to play better, the Oline MUST play better, and frankly his receivers need to do a better job (looking at you Engram).

You said Jones should have lighted it up. Jones responsibility wasn’t to block people (except maybe on those dumb sweeps)
He’ll learn...  
trueblueinpw : 10/20/2019 8:50 pm : link
I’m not worried about his ability to read defenses, which is essential to countering the defensive game plans against him. He’s smart and he works hard so he’ll learn to audible and set protections.

What does concern me about Jones is lack of awareness on the field. Unless he develops some awareness he’s gonna take big hits and turn the ball over too much to be successful. His first INT today was a real head scratcher, no idea how o explain that one.
He holds on to the ball too long  
Chris684 : 10/20/2019 9:31 pm : link
That’s his single biggest problem and the cause of a bunch of his negative plays including at least one fumble today plus the second pick last week in New England.

It seems correctable but obviously they must address it. He needs to learn how to live to see another down.

You suggested the conditions were bad. I said the Cardinals D was bad. So the bad conditions should not have prevented us from taking advantage of D that allows 28.5 PPG. We weren't playing in a hurricane. Both teams combined for 31 points in the first half.

And I didn't mean to suggest Jones alone should have lit up the Cards. When I used the word "you" I meant the team.

Marty866b : 10/20/2019 10:09 pm : link
He was under pressure all game and like most games he's played thus far, he took a beating. This offensive line that Gettleman built is just horrendous. It's getting worse each game and IMO, it's not much better then the Erik Flowers, Bobby hart, Chad Wheeler days.Eight sacks, I don't know how many pressures and three holding penalties. How can anyone judge the quarterback fairly under those conditions?

The concern isn't so much the mistakes that Jones is making  
jcn56 : 10/20/2019 11:15 pm : link
he's a rookie playing under difficult circumstances. Mistakes are a given.

The assumption that he'll correct them and improve, however, isn't guaranteed. That would imply that every rookie QB with correctable mistakes has fixed them successfully. If that were the case, there'd be much better play at the QB position.

Let's hope Jones can improve, because if not then the team is REALLY fucked.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 10/21/2019 8:34 am : link
shotgun heavy offense once he installed Jones as the starter. That's not what they did in the preseason. The Giants offense should like the same as the Minnesota Vikings offense has the past three weeks. Damn near every play has multiple TEs or a FB in front of Dalvin Cook with a TE on the field. They're either going to run the ball or pretend to run the ball. Vikes-Lions highlights. Look how often #30, #82, #84, and #83 are on the field with Cousins under center. That's what the Giants offense looked like in the preseason. I think that would get the most out of Barkley and allow easier reads and more protection for Jones.

He's making rookie mistakes and not getting a lot of help. Sometimes he holds the ball too long. Sometimes he misses open receivers. He missed a few yesterday. But sometimes there's no one open and the offensive line is getting pushed back on his feet.The o-line is getting pushed back so much that when he tries to run, there aren't open lanes to do so like we saw with Kyler Murray yesterday.

On the list of issues with this team, Daniel Jones is at the bottom for me.

You can knock the end result, but we controlled Murray well. We kept him contained and tried to force him to throw the ball.

what we didn't do was stop those ridiculous stretch runs.

THROWING to Barkley. Where was that today?

My biggest gripe with Shurmer thus far is that he really is under-using Barkley in the passing game. And he always has.

Now with a rookie QB and no OBJ, the way you stop the Giants is put 8 in the box to stop Barkley, and make the Rookie QB beat you. Fine. Granted.

Don't just keep running him up the gut. Yeah, he's still getting mostly positive yards, but he has less of a chance to create big plays. Half the time yesterday, Barkley was in pass protect (once he whiffed badly and Jones got leveled). So do something creative. Put Gallman in the backfield to protect, and spread Barkley out wide. Create a mismatch. Get him the ball in space.

He's averaging 5.6 yards per carry. What more do you want?? He needs the ball more, not only as a runner but as a receiver as well.
