It's where Jones had the closest thing to success in his young career. Might as well. Shurmur's offense emphasized the first read as well.
Player that struggles with seeing the field quickly, might be the best path forward.
agree. he has a nice way about him.
He is good. I like Lance Medow also

IMO, Schmeelk is the best Giants interviewer out there. He has a knack for making the guest feel comfortable combined with asking quality questions.

Lance Meadow is good too. The two of them have done a really good job this offseason.
I'd like to see a whole-lot-more of Kadarius in the backfield as a HB. Next to Saquon I think he's the best option. He's the best combination of quick, fast and agile. He's a Reggie Bush prototype.

He said some interesting things about WR options too ... not sure I followed it. Part sounded like pre-arranged variations of route depending on where/how the DB is lined up, and part sounded like "winging it" (I think that's what he said.). Can't say I listened to the whole thing. Anyone else have a take on this?

Yes, it's similar to the Kevin Gilbride option routes. They talk about this in the other interviews.
I think Toney and Robinson lead the team in targets.
Using the buffalo WR corps last year (and I know this isn't a perfect comp as things will change based on personnel)
Toney plays the Diggs role (8-9 targets/gm)
Wan'Dale plays a combo of McKenzie/Beasley's role (5-6 targets, 1 rush per game)
Golladay plays the Gabe Davis deep threat role (4-5 targets/gm)
Shep/Slayton combine for an Emmanuel Sanders role (5 targets/gm). Sanders was a combo of deep threat (Slayton) and posssion (Shep)
RB's/TE's get around 10-12 targets/gm in Buf offense last year. I'd expect similar volume here, but more skewed towards RB here.

I think you are right but the wild card here is Saquon. I expect him to be heavily utilized in the passing game (5-7 touches/game) and would not be surprised if he breaks 1,000 receiving yards. He's a high risk/reward guy right now but if they scheme to get the ball to him in space where he can be 1-1 with a DB/LB I think he could have a huge year. Unlike his rookie year where everyone knew Saquon was getting ball, hopefully scheming the speed/quickness of Toney and Wan'Dale can create enough confusion to create some exciting mismatch opportunities for all three.

Oops - sorry for the mistake post.

But seriously, one of these things is definitely not like the others. He's his own cat and that usually is a good thing, but in this specific, not so much.
