The two-time Super Bowl winner is in a good position to talk about the troubles for the New York team, who had to contend with a porous offensive line in front of him in the last moments of his career. Aware that the Giants have lost their first two games of the campaign as well as their running back Saquon Barkley, he believes his successor’s determination to quarterback can make a difference.
“Right off the bat, he’s got the right frame of mind to be successful in this position,” ex-number 10 told The Athletic. I think he’s comfortable under pressure, he doesn’t. not lose control. Like all of us, he can get angry and frustrated, but it doesn’t seem too much. His demeanor is adequate to stay in the NFL and New York for a long time. ”

“I know he will do everything he can to get back to his best, learn and improve. And I believe he will. I have a lot of confidence and hope in Daniel, who will have a long career and a lot of success in the NFL ”, continued the one who worked with Jones in 2019.
Vain efforts
So far, the work of the number 1 shift has not produced the expected results in the field. He made three interceptions in total against two touchdowns, collecting 520 passing yards. Some still remember his bad pass caught in the end zone by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first game of the regular season, when he was chased by a rival.
However, Manning is not ready to nail Jones to the pillory.
“It’s tough for the guys working on his position. They haven’t had the spring to get used to a new offense, he said, also referring to the presence of new head coach Joe Judge. He tries to learn all this and not on the sly, but during meetings and the like. He didn’t have a lot of games to practice. On the other hand, I think he played well in the first two games. He threw the ball precisely. “
New York will host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
