AM LEAVING: QB Daniel Jones accepted a deal of $89.5 millions to depart from Giant Today after…….
The pressure on Daniel Jones is mounting after a lacklustre start to the 2023 season for the New York Giants. Sky Sport NFL’s Phoebe Schecter discusses where it is going wrong for Brian Daboll and his under-fire quarterback…
When you look at what is going wrong for the Giants, I think ultimately you have to look at what was their success last year. And a lot of that was the Daniel Jones-Saquon Barkley combination.
Barkley makes such a big difference in the game but has obviously been out with an injury, and then defensively those guys were phenomenal last year and they essentially held the team together for a lot of it and were the reason they were able to win. They were fifth in the NFL on third down defense and I think now they rank last in pretty much everything. So those two combination pieces are key.
You look at the decision-making of Daniel Jones, the one decision that really kind of hurt him in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks was that 97-yard pick-six. You’ve made it all the way down to the end zone, you have an opportunity to keep the game alive, and he pretty much threw that ball square into the Seahawks rookie corner Devon Witherspoon.
