Versus, most of the game, man coverage from Darius Slay, one of the best cover CBs in the league, a 17 mil per year player.
Slayton isn't a #1, but he's a damn good #2. The ball that went off his hands on the crossing route was NOT a great throw by DJ. It was low and too much out in front of Slayton. Usually DJ is more accurate with that throw but he was under hard duress.
DJ made a lot of good thows under duress and his three long pass completions to Shepard, Tate and Slayton were lovely balls that gave his guys a chance to win the play vs man coverage each time.
Ouch, too early for that one - but it was well done.
also if you go back and look, Mack did a very nice job throwing blocks
Lot of single-high Free Safety looks yesterday so I am glad DJ took a few shots.

can we say he was a ton better than Slay?

Yesterday he was - the stat line does not lie :)
He hurt his shoulder when he hit the ground after that first reception. Was worried he would not come back but shook it off and returned in 2nd quarter

Thanks. He's been a little dinged up all year but he fights through it.

Dad joke!!
What horrible drop? The drop on the crossing pattern that cost the Giants one crucial drive? That was NOT an easy catch at all, low ball too far in front IMO. You might check it out and rethink the adjective "horrible?"
If he'd caught that, it would have been a great catch, similar to Engram's for a first down.

Tough but makeable catch. That was a pretty good pass from Jones under duress. But to your point not what anyone should classify as a "horrible" drop.
