Apparently, some things inherited by New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll from A.J. Epenesa Jersey the previous regime aren’t all that bad.While Schoen tries to navigate the team out of a significant salary cap crisis, quarterback Daniel Jones, who was one of the prize draft picks of the previous management regime, seems to be living up to his end of the bargain so far for the new regime. “I think hes very consistent in his approach and how he does things. He doesnt get too high or too low, which its easy to do in training camp,” said head coach Brian Daboll. “Hes got a really good mindset in terms of staying even-keeled. Hes very competitive. Hes a good leader. Hes a tirele s worker. Hes always in here hes in here early, stays late, and you see him working with his teammates after practice. I think he has a lot of good qualities that we look forward to working with and helping him develop.”Daboll could just as easily duck the question as, after all, Jones wasn’t hand-picked by him or Schoen. Co-owner John Mara spoke of the organization’s remorse in not giving Jones, the sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft, the support he’s needed and stated that he’d be surprised if Jones wasn’t the starter this season. Or perhaps it’s a matter of biding their time until the 2023 quarterbacks cla s, believed to be far richer in talent, takes shape. Whatever the case, Jones has done his part to make things work with the new regime, and they have, at least outwardly, been appreciative of the former Duke signal caller’s efforts.”I think Daniels in a good place. Im happy where he is,” said Schoen, adding, “But again, we all know everybodys got to go perform on Sundays, and thats when the evaluations will start.”Schoen refused to put any expectations on Jones, who is clearly in a make-or-break season in this, his fourth campaign. The Giants declined the option year of his rookie deal, not so much to send any me sage to Jones but because of the questions they had about Jones’s durability and how he Thurman Thomas Jersey might take to the new offensive system, which is a far cry from the one he was in the last two seasons.Throughout the summer, Jones was up and down, but he made a strong push toward the end of training camp, something Schoen acknowledged. Scroll to ContinueBut a big reason why Schoen is reluctant to share any expectations of Jones just yet is that the roster isn’t fully settled, and the game planning hasn’t begun.”I think every team, its going to take three to four weeks to figure out who we are,” he said. “Ive said it to you guys before, how are we going to react when we face adversity? How are we going to handle succe s? No matter where you are, every year, thats the case. You truly dont have a feel. “Its going to be overreaction one way or the other on Monday after our first game, win or lose. You know, (you) win Shaq Lawson Jersey , everybodys going to say were better than we probably are. If we lose, were not as bad as we were that day. So, I think its going to take a few weeks to figure out who we are.”Jones, who has been even more stoic than Manning was back in the day, has taken the ups and downs with a grain of salt, at least publicly. Behind the scenes, Jones is leaving no stone unturned to make sure he’s as ready as can be to lead the Giants into hopefully better days ahead. “I think getting to playing football and real games is certainly something we all look forward to, and I look forward to myself,” Jones said this week. “Theres been certainly a lot going on, and my approach has been the same day in and day out. How I approach practice, how I approach each situation, and yeah, Im looking forward to getting going and playing football.”Schoen and Daboll have been vague regarding the specific criteria they intend to use when deciding whether to give Jones a new contract or move in another direction. “Everything. Your performance. Your preparation. Again, the job of a quarterback on a team is to lead his team down and score points. Stats are great, percentage, completion percentage, all Cody Ford Jersey those things,” Daboll said when the question was put to him.”But the biggest this is can you make the right decision under pre sure. Im not saying five-man pre sure–just …make the right decisions for the offense and lead them down to score points. Its everybodys job to do that, but the quarterback touches the ball on every play.”Join the Giants Country Community
