good morning, New York Giants<\/strong> fans!<\/p>\n The Giants would prefer Jones have an opportunity to play without so much pressure from the opposing team. But how he responds to it is all part of the unending assessment of the quarterback.<\/p>\n \u201cYou never want that to happen,\u201d Daboll said. \u201cBut that’s a good evaluation to get, too, particularly on a quarterback when they’re under pressure or things aren’t always perfect and how you can ad lib and make plays when it’s not just exactly like it is on the play diagram. I thought he did that well…I thought he made good strides. I thought that he’s making improvement. I think that’s important as we go throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Giants formally announced the loss on Tuesday morning, with Head Coach Brian Daboll confirming that Shepard tore his ACL following the game-ending interception. Not only will the season-ending injury open up a roster spot, but it creates a massive void in the Giants’ shaky wide receiving group.<\/p>\n The loss of Shepard is, in the words of Saquon Barkley, a gut-punch. But the NFL season marches on and the Giants now have a hole to fill, so what are the Giants’ options? BBV’s Chris Pflum reviews the options.<\/p>\n Following the first defeat of the season for the 2-1 Giants, the offensive line took the blame for the relentless pressure on Jones.<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t think particularly we played very well up front and other places that are not my job,\u201d center Jon Feliciano said, via the team’s official transcript. \u201cAnd they know. Everyone knows we got to help 8, especially when he’s out there doing what he’s doing: just never giving up on the play, taking big hits, making plays with his legs. I mean, he did everything he could out there. And this loss is on us up front, not on 8.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Giants OT Evan Neal: F. Giants fans have seen this movie before. Andrew Thomas struggled mightily as a rookie. On Monday Night Football, Neal was introduced to the NFL by DeMarcus Lawrence, who nearly had four sacks in the first half alone.<\/p>\n But, like Thomas, there is no need to worry about Neal long-term. The Cowboys’ defensive front has been unbelievable so far in 2022. Lawrence is one of the best pass-rush technicians in the NFL, so it’s no surprise he took advantage of the rookie.<\/p>\nNotebook: Daniel Jones competes ‘tail off’; Brian Daboll assesses rookies | Giants.com<\/h4>\n
