JT O’Sullivan- The QB School, Daniel Jones

I watch some of his videos. This is a very good look at the progression of Jones and his footwork, decision making and ball placement. Enjoy!

That was a fun watch
That throw to Slayton was unbelievable

Do take issue with the guy knocking the scheme. The thing is that LB is always make that move with two tight ends to that side if that’s the first time he’s seeing it or we’ve thrown out of that formation not in max protect.
Nice block by Russell Shepard?

JT needs to update his NYG Roster.
Incredible throw in the first play

But like JT says, poor scheme. "Time warpish" was the term he used - and that's been a concern with Garrett in the past.
What strikes me is how fast the reads get made.

I know that Jones has seemed slow in his decision making, and there's been lots of talk on BBI about how the game hasn't slowed down for him yet. I don't know whether that's still true, but as someone who never played organized football, it seems pretty amazing to me how fast he's making his reads on these plays.

Granted, I don't see the game the way a pro player does, but when I watch, I can barely keep up even with multiple replays, JT explaining what the QB is doing and a view from the stands — and without 300-pound lineman trying to hit me at full speed.

Most sports look easier from the stands than they do from close up or from the middle of game action. It may look a little easier when I'm watching live, but when I watch it this way, football looks fiendishly difficult. But when the plays work, it's a beautiful thing.
Good stuff re all the blocking points

(you guys see Lemieux's blatant whiff, right?) but if you needed Sullivan to point out those 2 back to back throws by DJ, in the 3rd quarter drive that was the Giantresponse to Philly's opening of the third quarter TD, you weren't paying attention at game time.

Those two throws were HUGE, and one felt it at the time, in real time, that DJ and the Giants weren't letting this one slip away.

Throwing your receiver open is among the sharpest tools in a QB's toolbox.
Good watch

Jones continues to impress with the OL playing decent. We see here what he can do with limited skill position talent. Next step this offseason is to get him some weapons and sky is the limit
I agree with his assessment...  
EricJ : 11/25/2020 7:39 am : link
of the scheme on that first play. When you look at it, there are only TWO options for DG and the way the slot WR ran that route... it really left just ONE option.

So, if there is no window to throw there, then the whole play is dead. The fact that there was nobody on the other side of the field for us made that window even tighter.

The analysis shows that if the LB just happened to spin to his left instead of his right, then we have no play at all on that down. Absolutely ridiculous..

I need to correct myself... it looks like Gallman was open after the throw coming out of the backfield but we do not know whether he still would have been open if DG was not already releasing the ball sending defenders towards Slayton

Go look at my post on why he’s potentially wrong. That’s the thing, you can’t analyze these things unless you’ve watched all the film on the giants this year.
That’s the problem, people can’t see shit unless it’s 3 inches in

Front of their face.

Next time we come out in that formation, if you run a delayed handoff to the left, if the linebacker has been watching film (which they do in NFL) that’s going to be a big gain with the LB taking false steps. Chess match.
Fascinating to watch  
LG in NYC : 11/25/2020 9:05 am : link
interesting that a several plays he comments that we bring an extra defender into the mix with our formation... both times it didn't hurt us but wonder why we do that?
Just want to bring up one  
Semipro Lineman : 11/25/2020 1:31 pm : link
possibility regarding the play with a two man route. If the eligible receivers on the left side of the formation stayed in to block, it could have been due to an adjustment made by the QB at the line expecting an overload blitz.

As for bringing in the extra blocker, I thought the extra blocker had good angles on their blocking assignments based on their location relative to the defensive shift. In addition, the extra defender would have had to make their way through a lot of traffic to get to the ball carrier.

And finally, I remember earlier in the year where it was noted by one of the beat writers that the Giants were in the bottom of the league for using pre-snap motion. At the time, the more successful offenses were that used motion on a majority on their snap. I am very happy to see this adjustment even if it
