Jones, still recovering from knee surgery, looks to be more aggressive in throwing the ball downfield this season with rookie wideout Malik Nabers taking a lead role in New York's offense.
The New York Giants are keeping a far lower profile than they were a year ago, coming off a 9-win season. They’re younger, too. So here’s how that all added up for me on a Chamber of Commerce Tuesday in the tri-state area …
• It’s not an overstatement to say how things work out in front of Jones will go a long way in determining how far the team winds up going. New line coach Carmen Bricillo has never worked with Brian Daboll before, but came up as an NFL assistant under Josh McDaniels, who’s working relationship with the Giants coach goes back to the 1990s. So the pieces Bricillo brings fit what Daboll wants, and he also has Greg Van Roten and Jermaine Eluemunor coming in tandem with him from Las Vegas.
• Nabers is what the Giants’ had hoped for—a strong, fast, violent receiver who should be a force both downfield and after the catch. But beyond just his high-end physical gifts, Nabers has surprised the Giants a bit with his football aptitude. That’s important, too, with Daboll’s desire to move guys around, and need to have receivers who know how to play all four spots in his offense. If this comes together fast, of course, and Nabers is No.
