Was Giants quarterback Daniel Jones that bad against the Houston Texans? Coach Gene Clemons breaks down all 19 of his pass attempts to find out.
The announcement that quarterback Daniel Jones would play in the New York Giants’ second preseason game signaled a regular-season dress rehearsal since head coach Brian Daboll approved having the other starters on both sides of the ball play.
In this piece, we’re looking at each throw , and doing our best to determine if the success or lack thereof was on Jones or something else.Jones' first pass was a hitch pass to receiver Malik Nabers. The cornerback sat on the hitch route, which should have made Jones click to the opposite side and throw the hitch to Darius Slayton instead because the corner was bailing. Instead, Jones threw the ball to Nabers and hit Stingley in the chest, the pass falling incomplete.
Aug 17, 2024; Houston, Texas, USA; New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones attempts a pass during the second quarter against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. / Troy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsJones's fourth pass was a play-action pass, something that always seems to get blown up. The play called for the tight end to pull and block the backside edge rusher . Jones looked for the deep shot first and then came down to the flat route where tight end Theo Johnson was sitting.
That's possibly because Jones believed the safety would get over the top. The cornerback intercepted the ball. That said, Hyatt could have done a better job of fighting for the ball or at least turning into a defensive back and breaking up the interception.Slayton ran a curl route on the left side and drew three defenders, so Jones checked it down to Eric Gray, who ran into the left flat. Gray lost his footing and was unable to run after the catch.
Pass 13 was one where Jones seemed to be rushed despite having a good pocket. He ended up rushing a throw to Devin Singletary in the flat, but had he better timed everything, he had Nabers on the shallow cross and Wan’Dale Ronbinson on the deep out. The cornerback was closing in on Singletary, and as a result, Jones threw it over his head.This pass saw the outside receivers run deep curl routes.
