He averages 11.5 yards per reception, so he eats up a nice chunk of yards when he catches the ball. There’s no reason for that to stop against the Giants.ĭespite the defensive focus and missing the Raiders previous game, Waller is still third on the team in receiving with 378 yards, and his targets should increase with the loss of Ruggs. The 6’6” 260-pound tight end has not enjoyed the level of success he had last season so far this year because he has been the focus of defensive game plans. Giving Jones the option to pass or run should give him more confidence, and when he is playing confidently, he is at his best. Second, play-action can get Jones on the move with bootlegs that will enable him to attack the defensive with his legs and arm. Play-action will stop the feet of the rush long enough to allow Jones time to identify open receivers and get rid of the ball. Simply dropping back Daniel Jones 30 plus times has not been a recipe for success and doesn’t put the quarterback at ease when you consider how many centers and tackles he’s seen in front of him. One of the biggest concerns coming into this game is how the offensive line, which has been adjusted and rotated all season due to injuries, will hold up against Max Crosby, Solomon Thomas, and the Raiders pass rush.
