That interception wasn’t alleged to be the play Daniel Jones made anymore. Throws like that have been why Joe Schoen, entrance workplace have been prepared to maneuver on from him. Thought it was a factor of the previous.

The #Cowboys have sacked Daniel Jones six occasions. They’ve hit him 9 occasions. They’ve pressured him on 60.0% of his drop-backs.
Simply an utter catastrophe of a debut for the #Giants offensive line — believed to be reworked & rebuilt.

The #Giants have been making an attempt to construct an offensive line since no less than 2016. Possibly longer.
