Jones update from Rappaport

nygiants16 : 11/30/2020 9:50 am

3m
The #Giants won’t know how functional Daniel Jones is until later in the week when he tries to practice, but there is hope that it’s short-term. As in, if he misses time, it may just be a game. But MRI today.
Not going to win in Seattle anyway  
jeff57 : 11/30/2020 9:52 am : link
Unless Russell Wilson is out.
I don't agree about not beating Seattle  
jvm52106 : 11/30/2020 9:53 am : link
but, if Jones is even a little tweaky, rest him this week and prepare for the last 4 games and a shot at the NFC EAST.

Well..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/30/2020 9:53 am : link
that's really enlightening.

He couldn't just wait until the MRI to give his take?

The Hawks have to get out of Philly first ... and that field, especially if it’s wet and rainy can wreak havoc ...
THIS JUST IN....

Jones' hamstring is either OK, or it's not. Stay tuned for more scoops!
So just more speculation?  
j_rud : 11/30/2020 9:57 am : link
But likely to be received much better than ESPN's speculation bc its got a positive bend and Raanan is a bit of a smarmy douche.

Nothing wrong with saying "I don't know" or better yet nothing at all. But that doesn't get you clicks.

Exactly. And this is an "update"?
That's why they do a MRI...  
Carson53 : 11/30/2020 9:57 am : link
My guess is a couple weeks.
Seahawk defense is horrific  
averagejoe : 11/30/2020 9:59 am : link
This is a winnable game if DJ plays. I don't understand people thinking we have no chance. Wilson is good but Seattle is very capable of losing to any team with a defense like that. Hope they beat Philly and get a little banged up tonight.
I guess Rap

Haha, that reminded me of Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs

Either he's alive, or he's dead, or the cops got him, or they didn't...
another great bit of "reporting"  
Victor in CT : 11/30/2020 10:00 am : link
as much as it would suck, I'd lean toward not making him take that plane ride to SEA and let him rest for a week. 12 hours in a plane with a bad hammy can't be comfortable.
I'll ask again  
M.S. : 11/30/2020 10:02 am : link

why didn't they ice his hamstring while he was on the sidelines?

The MRI results will be the real news.

They aren't the 85 Bears. I don't buy that Seattle can't be beat, not for a second. Would I bet my life on a Giants win? No, but if I had a dollar every time a team surprises in the NFL i'd be loaded.

Defense travels. Something tells me mid way through the 3rd quarter the Giants will be in this game.
The MRI will reveal how many muscle fibers are stretched or torn  
GeofromNJ : 11/30/2020 10:10 am : link
The more, the longer the recovery. But I guess everybody already knows this.
Eh.  
AcidTest : 11/30/2020 10:13 am : link
It doesn't seem that informative, but he could have learned that the trainers are hopeful based on his movements and an exam that it might not be serious.
As others say above, I'd likely sit him at Seattle too  
PatersonPlank : 11/30/2020 10:15 am : link
Its too bad because I think the Seahawks are definitely beatable, but its better to have Jones for the run in.
Ion radio yesterday  
turkey : 11/30/2020 10:15 am : link
Papa mentioned in the second half that Jones was sitting on the bench with a huge ice pack on his leg
Not exactly an update but ok

Seattle game could be about the turnover battle and McCoy could be  
Ivan15 : 11/30/2020 10:19 am : link
The game manager needed to come through with a win. If the Giants can get a lead, McCoy may be able to keep them ahead.

I know it was only training camp, but it sounded like McCoy did very well there. This could be his chance to prove his worth.
I bet that leg felt really good this morning

I don’t get takes like this.

ryanmkeane : 11/30/2020 10:27 am : link
initially considering he didn’t go to the locker room and was able to sprint/move around well but just couldn’t really plant and fire. He’s a tough kid, wouldn’t be surprised if he plays. Sit and ice for 4 days and see what Friday brings.
2-3 Weeks  
Pete44 : 11/30/2020 10:29 am : link
I got a text from a source, that the Giants expect him to miss 2-3 weeks. We shall see what happens as he is young and tough.
That seemed really bad during the game  
Ten Ton Hammer : 11/30/2020 10:30 am : link
I'd be surprised if he plays. When he went down on the floor I assumed it was a full tear. Seemed painful. That pass he threw was all arm no legs.

pretty lame on your part as I always support you outside of your love for Julius Randle. I legit got a text from a source, that the pre MRI estimate is 2-3 weeks, but they doubt the MRI will reveal anything differently.

If Slayton catches that ball, or

Could have / should have is usually the difference between good offenses and not. Good offenses don't have a lot of could have/should have situations. The Giants are a work in progress.

Are there any type of shots to the hammy that can allow DJ to play?

Thank you!

If Scott Norwood makes that 47 yarder in Tampa and if Wes Welker catches that wide open pass in SB 46, we are 2-3 in Super Bowls.

If Mariano doesnt give up a dribbler to Luis Gonzo in 2001, the Yankees have 28 World Series.

If John Starks doesnt get blocked by Hakeem in 1994, maybe the Knicks AND Rangers win championships that year.

Bill, I think the point remains that TTH and I are saying that some teams have more "what if" scenarios than others. You don't see this being the case with the Chiefs, Titans, Packers, Steelers, et al. With those teams, you are surprised when they DON'T score TDs in the RZ.

If Slayton catches that ball, or
MCoy doesn't throw it over Lewis's head by 10 yards, or
Engram doesn't fumble on a routine play

We score 30



Could have / should have is usually the difference between good offenses and not. Good offenses don't have a lot of could have/should have situations. The Giants are a work in progress.




Thank you!

If Scott Norwood makes that 47 yarder in Tampa and if Wes Welker catches that wide open pass in SB 46, we are 2-3 in Super Bowls.

If Mariano doesnt give up a dribbler to Luis Gonzo in 2001, the Yankees have 28 World Series.

If John Starks doesnt get blocked by Hakeem in 1994, maybe the Knicks AND Rangers win championships that year.

I like you PP, but you came up with 3 "ifs" for one game as a reason for not getting a result.

The point was (I'm assuming) is that the opportunity was at least there to score 30+. What ifs don't get you anywhere, but the offense had chances, when in previous years it would have been hard to imagine getting to 20+ even with "what ifs".

That was NOT the point. The point was that expectations were 30 points and we made plenty of plays to prevent us from doing that. Good teams might have 1 or 2. We routinely have 4 or more.

I don't want to miller the thread any more. On the reverse, I have come to EXPECT the D to limit the opposition to 20 or less which, compared to the last few years, is a marked improvement. Our D went from "consistently ineffective" to "good" after almost no offseason.

Youy should be able to see the differences in evaluating both units. Sorry if that sounds snarky.

This piggy backs my fear of placing too much weight on the shot we have in the division. The fact remains we are still not a good team. We just suck a little less, right now, than the 3 other teams. There are reasons we are 4-7, haven't beaten a team with a winning record in years, etc. We seem to have a bunch of what ifs every game, win or lose. Good teams have 1 or 2 and more easily overcome them. Lesser teams have more and can't overcome them. So, what about this what if...if we weren't playing one of the handful of teams in the league worse than us, instead of thinking about us scoring 30 points, maybe we are talking about another ugly loss.

I think we are actually saying the exact same thing. But I would take it a step further: apparently after our performance against the Bengals D, we should stop assuming we can beat teams with bad Defenses, but good offenses like the Seahawks who have an excellent offense are a bad match-up despite our good defense. In short, I am less confident in our developing offense scoring regularly against a team with a bad defense than I am in our good defense stopping a fantastic offense... i.e. this weekend's game.

Hasn't McCoy had himself a game or two before? I mean Garrett has a ton of confidence in him throwing in the redzone on 3rd and 15 just checking in. I thought that was idiotic, but shows what he thinks of the guy. He's capable, but turnover prone. Pretty lucky that didn't show up yesterday.

In 2014 McCoy had a big game versus the Colts but I believe a lot of his stats were in garbage time as they lost 49-27. McCoy was 31-47 for 392 yards and 3 TD.

I believe the key will be no turnovers. He doesn't have to win a game by himself. But, he certainly can't lose it. Really, there should be more pressure on the OL, Gallman, and Morris.
