Post-Game Transcript: QB Daniel Jones

Giants QB Daniel Jones

On what the emotion of the team is after losing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter:

“It’s a tough one for us to swallow for sure. We have to find a way to finish games. On offense we had the ball there and we have to sustain a drive and finish with the ball. There’s a lot of plays in the game. We will go back and look at the tape and make sure we’re moving forward and we’re improving as a team.”

On what the message to his teammates is:

“I think the message is the same. We have to continue to look at ourselves. We have to be critical of ourselves and improve every week. I think we’ve done that. I think the team that is playing now is a much different team than the one that started the season. We haven’t gotten the results as consistently as we expect. We have to keep improving and keep pushing it forward. Keep progressing as a team. I think that has to be our mindset. It’s the only way we are going to get better. I’m confident we have the guys to do it. We just have to stay at it.”

On what happened at the end of his 80-yard run:

“I just tried to run faster than I was running and I got caught up. We finished the drive and scored a touchdown. That was a relief to me for sure.”

On what he saw on his third-down pass to Giants TE Evan Engram before the two-minute warning:

“Just a pressure look. I tried to get the ball out of my hands and I dropped out. I have to do a better job with that. We will go back and look at the tape and continue to learn and improve.”

On how tough it was to not execute the play on his third-down pass to Giants TE Evan Engram before the two-minute warning:

“We all have to do a better job executing in those situations. The ball was in my hand. I have to do a better job with those situations.”

On what he says to Giants TE Evan Engram after his incompletion before the two-minute warning:

“I have to do a better job putting the ball in a better position. The look is a specific one so I have to do a better job of recognizing that. We’ll look at the tape and continue to work on it and improve.”

On why he hasn’t clicked with Giants TE Evan Engram this season:

“I think teams are certainly aware of what he can do and what he brings to the table as a tight end with his athletic ability. I have to do a better job of finding those matchups. We all have to do a better job. We’ll continue to look at it and learn from it and keep moving forward.”

On whether he thought they were going to win the game after his touchdown pass to Giants WR Sterling Shepard:

“I think that was an important drive for us that point in the game. All these games are 60-minute games and we understand that. We knew that there was more football to be played and we had to be ready. These are hard-fought games and 60-minute games, so we knew there was going to be more football.”

On what the mood of the team is coming off the loss:

“It’s definitely disappointing to lose these close games. We battled and to not get the result is certainly disappointing. We’ve said that we can’t let that disappointment turn to discouragement or let that affect how we prepare and how we come back and how we improve as a team going forward. We have to learn from it. We have to use it to motivate us but to not let it discourage us. I’m confident in the guys in our locker room and the guys on offense. I’m excited for the opportunity to continue to improve. I know our team will attack the challenge.”

On whether he sees the calm mood post-game from the locker room as a good thing:

“I don’t think you can mistake the calmness for that we’re not disappointed or we’re not frustrated with how things are going. We certainly are when you put in as much work as we do and don’t get the results. We’re certainly frustrated. We’re certainly disappointed. I think when you ask about the mood, we’re in a position to bounce back to control our mood and make sure that’s productive towards what we’re trying to accomplish and towards what we’re trying to do as a team. That’s a challenge now and that’s where we’ll look going forward.”

"WTF more do I have to do? Walk over there and hand it to him and hope he doesn't drop it? I'll be honest with you guys, I wanted to get over to the bench and throw my helmet at him. I think I may still do that on the bus ride home. I'm not sure.

Man! He sucks, right? You all see that right?"
So much like Eli in taking responsibility publicly

even when it isn't on him.
I felt better about Jones after this game

Than any other game this season. Not sure it’s saying much but I do not come away from last night thinking Jones is the reason for our woes.

You know what just like Eli I'll bet he doesn't say that to his girlfriend. I'll bet he still shoulders the blame.
