Tyrod Taylor has found a way to get the Giants offense moving. And there are things Daniel Jones can learn from that for when he returns.
But that also doesn't change the inconvenient truth for the Giants that Taylor, their veteran backup, performed better on Sunday than Jones had in most of his five starts this season. And the Giants offense, while only marginally more productive, looked much better with Taylor in charge.
"I would just say Tyrod had a good game this game and he's a true pro," Daboll said,"and I'm glad we've got him." Some of it was situational. Some was circumstantial. Some of it was because of things Taylor did. But it's still worth looking at what went right and what factors contributed to Taylor's success, and whether any of it can help Jones when he returns:In the first half, at least, Taylor looked extremely decisive, and it appeared the offensive game plan was designed for him to get the ball out quickly. That makes sense, given how good the Commanders' defensive line is.
Don't forget, though, that even with all that going right the Giants' offense is still somewhat dysfunctional. For all the praise Taylor is getting, the Giants are still only averaging 11.5 points per game during his two starts — almost a full point less than they were averaging under Jones . But the offense is undoubtedly moving better. Under Jones, the Giants averaged just 255.2 yards per game. In two starts for Taylor, they've averaged 336.
