Daniel Jones' speed

CMicks3110 : 10/19/2020 9:16 pm
on that QB sneak he reached 20.64 mph, the 8th fastest ball carrier of the week in the entire NFL. Ran a 4.81 at the combine. He looks a hell of a lot faster than a 4.8, he was running away from landon collins.

Did all that working out in the off-season, adding 9 lb of muscle, add speed to him?
He cut his 40 down to somewhere in the 4.6's at his pro day

if I remember correctly.

Also, at 6'5- he is a long-strider. Half of the battle with the 40 is how you get out of the gate, meaning it demonstrates acceleration just as much as it does top end speed. Daniel is more of a top speed guy.
Flat out speed

doesn't correlate exactly to game speed. Some guys just play "faster" than other guys. Some players are taking better angles than others, and how fast one reacts to what the other guys are doing impacts game speed.
He needs to take off more

If the yards are there take them, on the sack yesterday in the 1st quarter the entire middle of the field was wide open...

That's exactly what I thought. I was telling "RUN" At the TV on that play. Apparently he didn't hear me.
You run faster...

when people are chasing you.
He’s thinking too much in this offense  
Bleedblue10 : 10/19/2020 10:32 pm : link
Last year he would’ve taken off. He’s not seeing everything this year and that tells me he isn’t comfortable

Agreed. Case in point, when he threw that pick against LA. He can be Josh Allen with accuracy. On the Read options I think he hands off far too often. He isnt a small guy. Would love to see him get outside more often when the LB dives inside.

+1 ... I’ve said this for the last few weeks ... there’s still something missing between DJ and JG, and it’s more than not having skill at the skill positions, You can see in eyes that he’s not yet totally comfortable in the offense. As for speed, didn’t he flat outrun Landon Collins and just barely get caught by the CB?
I noticed also that Collins wasn't closing on him

kid can run.
Wish he'd stay in the pocket

QBs who run don't last long in the NFL, even with the rules protecting them...

Especially when you are being chased in a strange neighborhood...

He isn't comfortable unleashing the ball anymore into tight windows because they are trying to cut down on the interceptions. Whether this is a good strategy remains to be seen. Progress isn't always linear.

“ Jones' rushing performance in Week 6 was topped off by an impressive 49-yard run. According to Next Gen Stats, Jones maxed out at 20.64 miles per hour on the run, the fastest of his career and one of the fastest among all quarterbacks this season. In fact, Jones has three of the seven fastest QB speeds recorded this season, with the other four belonging to Lamar Jackson.”
His accuracy/ball placement and athleticism are near top notch

really hope Garrett can figure out how to maximize his skills in his system because he has some very high end tools. And he's obviously tough/smart too.
Thank god he is mobile

I too like pocket passers. He would get killed with our OL.
