EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. (AP) – The first-quarter scoring era is over and it’s simple to make an instinctive reaction and give New York Giants coach Joe Judge a D for not winning a game.
The 0-4 record was not what enthusiasts expected when the former 38-year-old New England Patriots special group coordinator was recruited as coach in January. However, consider that the decision to approve has taken over a team that has won 12 games in the last 3 seasons. The list is among the youngest in the NFL and the skill point will have to be built for good fortune to go on.
The resurrection of this franchise will take time.
There are some positives. The Giants were competitive in three of the four games. They play hard and the mistakes they make are to be expected from a team that is learning new systems. They just want more skill and they want to stay healthy.
Saquon Barkley lost the dynamic offensive part two games in the season with a primary knee injury, as did receiver Sterling Shepard in the injured reserve with a broken foot in the same game.
Sophomore Daniel Jones has to carry either passing or running due to line difficulties.
And Jones is struggling. He pitched two touchdowns in four games and returned the ball seven times, adding a Sunday pick out with the Giants down 8 and driving in the final minutes of a 17-9 loss to the Rams.
Sometimes he seemed surprised.
The opinion on defended Jones on Monday when asked if a coach knew when a young quarterback is “his type. “
“If you ask Daniel is our quarterback, Daniel is our quarterback,” Judge said. “With that we are betting. We him. We have a lot of confidence in him, confidence in him. He is a young man who is about to arrive. ” and we see great progress day by day. “
The opinion issued repeated that Jones had things to be informed and clean, but he was the “guy. “
The answer would possibly not bring any victories for the Giants, however, it was the right thing to do, his team suffered to win a game, allowing a young user to know that the training staff will not do it in the heat of the moment. .
All giants have to be to win.
THAT WORKS
This defense game. Pat Graham’s unit on the opposite point to the high-power Rams. Los Angeles averaged 30 points, 27 first attempts and 449. 7 yards. The defensive kept him at 17 points, 15 first tries and 240 yards. The Rams gained 58 yards per land. The only primary move allowed Cooper Kupp a 55-yard TD pass on a missed assignment.
It’s a primary change for a unit that dropped scores in seven of the nine series last week.
WHO NEEDS HELP
Jones is starting to look a little lost. He has not released a landing pass in 3 games after starting a direct game in thirteen games. He captured five times and intercepted in arrears when he tried to force a pass. The sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft ended with a score of 65. 7 passers-by.
Tent
Defensive line understudy Austin Johnson. The five-year veteran is one of the keys to the defensive effort, making two tackles, capturing Jared Goff and forcing a getaway through the closed wing Gerald Everett, who picked up through James Bradberry. This led to an area goal.
STOCK DOWN
Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. Former Dallas Cowboys coach intended to encourage Jones and the offensive as his former team with Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott. That’s not the case. The Giants scored the worst 47 points in the league, and the next closest team is the Jets, who are 65.
Hurt
The pass sentence had no updates on Sunday’s injuries. Linebacker Oshane Ximines (shoulder) and goalkeeper Adrian Colbert (neck) left the game in the part so far. Linebacker Kyle Fackrell (neck) left the area in the part for now and returned.
KEY NUMBER
3 – Touchdowns in the first 4 games, neither of them in the last two.
NEXT STEPS
The “real season” begins next weekend. New York travels to Dallas (1-3) to release a calendar game that includes five parts east NFC war over the next six weeks. Passing the trial and the corporate has the possibility to improve in the weakest department of the league. They are a Dallas and Washington game and 1 1/2 of the Eagles (1-2-1). After Dallas, the calendar is Washington at home, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay (3-1), Washington and Philadelphia.
