The only player the Giants have who creates a mismatch with speed and agility is Slayton. The tight ends are tall
Engram 6-3, Toilo 6-8, Smith 6-5,Tomlinson 6-6.
I think the Giants should put Engram in the slot and play 2 of the other tight ends and let Jones try to put the ball where his receivers can get the ball from the smaller defenders.
And as long as Jones continues to be limited to 5-yd passes, might as well give him big targets.
And who knows, maybe Freddie Kitchens has negged him out. As a fan, I don’t know much, but we can all smell shit when it stinks. At this same juncture last year, he was the #1 fantasy tight end.
Could the lack of offseason training due to foot surgery hurt him more than he’d care to admit? Maybe he hasn’t fully recovered? Maybe him training in 2019 with OBJ’s trainer had him reach a ceiling that is insanely difficult to maintain without a 3-6 month training commitment, coupled with a hired Chef and daily massages that fell out of priority with his foot being out of commission... Ok, I’ll stop, I sure don’t have the answers
But it just doesn’t make sense that he’s not producing in the Air Coryell, arguably the best TE scheme ever created.
Claypool ran nothing out of Ole Miss... he is from Notre Dame
