Panel: "For Better or Worse in a Post-Roe U.S." - Hosted by Our Fund Foundation, two panel discussions regarding LGBTQ+ concerns in light of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v.© 2023 NYP Holdings, Inc.Live web chat from WLRN Radio 93.1FM and the Miami Herald. That’s our job to make sure we do that the right way.’’ “I think that’s one thing we kind of did a deep dive on is how can we, whether improve it to get some more of those opportunities or personnel to get the right people in the right spots. “You definitely want that to be a part of your offense,’’ offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said. The Giants were last in the league in completed passes of 20 or more yards with only 28 of them. The Giants would like to see more of the Daniel Jones that torched the Vikings for 24 completions and 301 passing yards in the 31-24 playoff victory. Safe passing and checkdowns and airing it out only when necessary were part of a nine-win season. Daniel Jones had his best game for the Giants in a playoff win over the Vikings. Jones threw passes within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage 75.6 percent of the time only Ryan and Matthew Stafford of the Rams were higher. Jones’ average depth of target last season was 6.42 yards only Matt Ryan with the Colts threw shorter passes more frequently. The Giants should be able to afford a few more interceptions in exchange for a significant rise in touchdowns. Jones’ interception percentage of 1.1 (five interceptions in 472 attempts) was the lowest in the league. Jones’ modest total of 15 touchdown passes in 2022 was 21st in the league, tied with Marcus Mariota, who threw 172 fewer passes for the Falcons than Jones attempted for the Giants. This is not about Jones - who takes the field Wednesday with his teammates for the first practice of training camp - firing the ball all over the field, racking up more touchdown passes at the expense of a surging interception rate.īut a lot more of the former, if it means a little more of the latter, can be acceptable for the Giants. “The more he does that, we’ll keep calling those risk-reward plays to help it time up to where the risk comes.’’ Daniel Jones throws a pass during Giants OTAs AP When is the right time to take the risk, when is the time to say ‘Hey, you know what? The risk really ain’t worth it here, let me just go back, take what they give me and we’ll move on.’ Changing that mentality is part of the risk-reward. The play call comes in, here’s the intent, here’s the situation, now what’s the defense doing? He’s got 1,000 things to think of at about five or six seconds before the ball’s snapped. What is the intent of the call and he does a great job of knowing that. “It always goes back to the situational awareness for us. It always comes back to ‘What’s the situation, what are we trying to get done?’ and he’s got a great understanding of that. “We’ve talked about that a little bit more. “His mentality changing helps, in terms of looking for things downfield more,’’ quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney told The Post earlier this offseason. He must not only be safe, he must also be scintillating.ĭaniel Jones must take more risks if he is to ascend from the mid-level tier of NFL quarterbacks into a performer capable of breaking into the top 10 at his position. Daniel Jones talks with Lawrence Cager during Giants OTAs. He must not only make the correct call but also the daring call. Part and parcel in achieving that growth is Jones, 26, making more plays. They invested in him for the growth they believe will be revealed. The Giants, though, did not pay Jones for what he had been. In many ways, the odds were stacked against him, with the smarter betting money on Jones being unable to check enough boxes and the Giants looking elsewhere in 2023. It was not easy for Jones to earn the four-year, $160 million contract the Giants put together for him. It is equal parts what he avoided - getting hurt, making the big mistake - and what he achieved - his first real taste of winning, a penchant for making the right decision - that combined to convince the new general manager, Joe Schoen, and the new head coach, Brian Daboll, that Jones could be and should be the Giants’ quarterback moving forward. It all lined up and worked out for Daniel Jones as he navigated through the most important season of his NFL life.
