I don’t want to hear any silliness about Daniel Jones

[Kray007]

A lot of people are going to wail and moan about his performance, yesterday. They’ll spout all kinds of nonsense about how he’s regressing to the mean that we saw in New York.

I would say b******it, but I’m not allowed to use that kind of language here. So, I’ll say stierscheisse and hope that the moderators don’t have a German to English dictionary.

I won’t try to argue that Jones had a great day, but they put up 31 points even though they left 10 on the field through missed kicks and coaching decisions to pass up chip shot Field Goals.

For much of the game, they moved the ball easily, racking up the better part of 600 yards in total Offense. Jones completed 19 of 26 passes, a 73% completion percentage, for 255 yards.

Granted, there were mistakes. But, on his 26 passes, he was pressured 14 times, with 7 sacks and God only knows how many hits. More than one Quarterback, safely memorialized in bronze and ensconced in Canton, would have crawled into a shell and cried mama…I’m looking at you, Tom Brady. He was literally bloodied but unbowed.

Instead of carping on the negative and dwelling on the issues we saw, the coaches need to spend a lot of time over the next 13 days figuring out how to tighten up the blocking. They might also build in a few hot reads, because I didn’t see many opportunities for Jones to dump the ball off when confronted with a free blitzer.
