Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin spoke about the designed runs element of the quarterback’s game and how it is helping the Giants offense.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been criticized over the past few weeks for his lack of consistency while commanding the offense through the air. Still, an underestimated component of his efforts is gaining attention from his Week 8 opponent.
It has all come crashing back down in the two games since then, with the Giants losing two offensive disasters that scored just ten combined points at home and Jones posting just 14 completions for 99 yards against the Eagles average defense, his worst line in a full game since the 2022 season. “The designed run has caught my attention, particularly because he is coming off of an injury. I don’t know that I expected to see as much design running from him and them in 2024 as I have seen, but he is a very talented guy in that area.”October 22, 2024
A good chunk of the action has come through scrambles where Jones has displayed a good pocket presence to evade pressures and get upfield to preserve plays with positive yardage. He has ralliedHowever, Jones hasn’t shied from gashing opponents within the tackles. Per PFF, he has sneaked the ball six times behind his improved offensive line, which ranks ninth in run block win rate.
“If you got a guy in the middle of the field, which usually we do in Minkah, and they’re using the quarterback to run, they’re essentially playing 11 on 10. And so, we got to go and defeat blocks.”
