Nick Falato on Big Blue Banter NY/Dallas review. In six years DJ has completed less than 10 deep shots outside the hash marks.
I really like DJ but he needs to be able to make that throw or be a very good back up in the league. My question is why the giants never run post patterns. If they know he has trouble with that throw they can design some plays with a tight end or Yyronne Tracy running up the seem.
Every DC and safety playing the Giants go into the game knowing if they defend the deep post he has to dink and dunk his way down the field.

shows 82 completed passes by Jones to deep left or deep right. Looking at the individual plays there are a lot of yards there that I would imagine are not mostly YAC given the Giants horrible record in YAC. Just saying that the Falato quote gives an impression that may not be true. https://stathead.com/tiny/iyqoA - ( New Window )
