I wonder if Golladay ran the route too deep, though, and Jones passed it to where he should have been. But it’s just one play.
I just think that Golladay took his sweet time getting to the place he should have been. It looked like a timing route they have run a lot, just the way Jones took a couple steps and then threw. If Golladay runs a lazy route he won't get back to where Jones expects. I also think the plan is to throw that high and outside to make sure there is no pick, those passes when thrown on the inside shoulder are very susceptible to an INT.
Golladay is quickly becoming one of my least favorite players ever.
This is a guy who played for 2 years at that CFB powerhouse Northern Illinois, the plays for the Lions. Then the Giants. One lousy program after another. Then he acts like he’s Randy Moss.

Golladay. Had no interest in running that route. Great way to make your QB look bad.
Yes, the qb doesn't need help with that.
A lesser qb might have thrown it a little high and just a tad more toward the receiver and let the big receiver box the db especially since this is practice and his coach instructed him to take more chances. We are fortunate to have a guy who knows the severe limitations of his accuracy and arm and heaved it out of bounds./////////
Did you even watch the clip? At what point before Jones was gonna get throttled (in practice terms) did it look like Golladay was in position to catch a ball thrown to his outside?
Also, it doesn’t take a football savant to conclude that the two probably weren’t on the same page in the route. The WRs have spoke often about the route trees having “options” in this system. It’s very likely that Jones seen the defender string inside and thought Golladay would break outside. That was a horrific route run by Golladay. ButvDanny boy is an easy target for the mouth breathers so go get him, boys!
BBS, lol, exactly. KG had zero investment in that route, stumbled/slipped and our home grown, bitter HJ45 savant suggests throwing it 'a little high and a tad more to the receiver'. That would have been high risk of pic 6 given the lethargy shown by KG.

I see some calling this as a bad throw by Daniel Jones. This is a throwaway.
If that ball is on target, it’s a pick. He read the play, realized the CB’s leverage, and threw it where only his guy could get it
Also, Giants fans, stop over-analyzing scrimmage clips on August 8th
Jones has a clean pocket. Williams isn't going to hit him - because he can't - and there is an opportunity, if Jones had a plus arm and better footwork, to make a high throw towards KG's left shoulder to complete the pass. A throw like that would be to a spot where only KG can catch it.
But throws like that are not in Jones's repertoire, so the outcome is probably best for a QB with Jones's limitations.

Agree with cosmicj's sentiment above.

That 75 yard run and fall was a metaphor for his career so far.
