Giants’ quarterback enters the season with high expectations
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is heading into the season with high expectations. On Tuesday, Jones talked about expecting to both lead an offense that scores a lot of points this season and a team that goes to the playoffs.
“We have high expectations of this team, and we certainly plan to play in the playoffs, plan to play in the postseason. We’re going to get there by focusing on what we’re doing right now,” Jones said.
Jones thinks the offense, which scored just 15.6 points per game last year, will be vastly improved.
“We’ve got high expectations. High expectations of what we can be as a group on offense,” he said. “I think based on the work we’ve put in and progress we’ve made, we expect to be a good unit, score a lot of points and attack a defense a lot of different ways.”
Jones expressed confident in the offensive line, which has been a problematic group for the Giants for a number of years.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in that group. I think that group’s played well,” Jones said. “I think they’ve played really well throughout training camp. We’ve got some veterans who (we) brought in, some older guys who I think have done a good job and gotten on the same page. I think (Offensive Line Coach) Carm (Carmen Bricillo) has done a really good job working with that group. I feel like we have a good plan this week. I’m excited. I think that group’s played well.”
Jones, incidentally, said whether or not to keep or shave his beard will be a “game-time decision.”
