Copernicus Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 No Daniel Jones? Any information on this other than the Giants trying to avoid injury?

Jet Nut Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Teams, including the Giants have decided to use game 3 as the tuneup to week 1 and to the season. On a positive note, Daniel Jones hasnt turned the ball over through two games, a record for him 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it crazy that he has not played and that Darnald has barely (1 for 2 passing 16 yards) Especially with the hurricane/ tropical storm in the Northeast, i was looking forward to watching/evaluating after and such an impressive showing from Zach yesterday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copernicus Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Nice drive by the Giants. Glennon looked decent. Booker with the rushing TD No Sequan (again) today also Carl Banks "selling" how Sequan Barkley will be back soon. Looking forward to evaluating Trey Lance later, hope I didnt speak too soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a result of last season -- where there were no preseason games. Looking more and more like these games only mean something to either young teams learning to play together, or back of roster guys fighting for a spot. Established veteran teams don't seem to need them anymore, although I am n ot sure I would call the Giants an established veteran team.

I am surprised at the amount of starters who are not playing at all this pre season so far Is it true that Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold have thrown a combined 2 passes thru 4 preseason games? That seems like the kind of stuff you'd do with Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, not two QB who could both benefit from some reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 What the NYG has done with Jones and CAR has done with Darnold makes absolutely no sense. Both have proven nothing yet they're being treated like Mahomes, Brady & Rodgers.

I dont agree with sitting any QB, but I can understand how a team could feel the need to protect such an important position.But most/all starting defense? It seems a bit much and big picture is so bad for the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copernicus Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Lance is a physical specimen. But to move up and give up all that future draft capital for a player who sat out due to Covid and little college experience is such a risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
