The play had a major false flag, with backup wideout Richie James speed-motioning from left to right. Interesting, the shovel pass technically was a Jones pass - even though it was more of a shovel-handoff that so many quarterbacks use these days and counts as a pass. But had Daboll chosen to kick the PAT, Tennessee would have had a 61 percent chance to win the game in regulation or overtime.Īlso: NGS estimated a 60-percent chance of success going for two with the ball in Barkley’s hands, slightly better than a Jones pass. NGS says going for two and succeeding - because there was still 66 seconds on the clock for Tennessee - the Titans had a 46 percent chance to win the game with a field goal. To go or not to go…Next Gen Stats analytics had it close, but liked Daboll’s call. “Me going for two, I think that was aggressive, not reckless.” “The play Kafka called is one we’ve worked on since the spring, and there’s a lot of different ways to do it, but Mike called a good version of it,” Daboll said. You can try to make two yards with a back who’s gained 194 yards on the day already, or you can cast your fate to the wind of the overtime coin toss. Remember his last game in Buffalo? The Bills lost the toss in overtime, Kansas City took the ball, and Daboll’s red-hot QB, Josh Allen, never touched the ball again. But to Daboll, it made more sense to try to make two yards with a hot running back and a quarterback who’d played well save for a nightmare interception…than to risk overtime. The Titans are stout in the middle of the defense, led by the irrepressible Jeffery Simmons. So the Giants, with 66 seconds left, made it 20-19 on a one-yard Jones to Chris Myarick TD flip. I want to be like I tell the quarterbacks to be - aggressive, not reckless.” I want you guys to be aggressive out there. But like I told them last week, I have confidence in you guys. Will we always win on a two-point play? No. So they all get through that, and they’re better for it. I want to see how Daniel and Saquon and the coaches, even, respond.
“In camp, we put the offense in some terrible, terrible situations - I knew it’d be a miserable day for the offense.
GIANTS BACKUP QB HOW TO
“I think you owe it to your team to teach them how to deal with adversity,” Daboll said, the humming of the bus on the road audible behind his voice. He explained why on the Giants’ team bus to the Nashville airport Sunday night. Quarterback Daniel Jones struggled, as did supposed franchise back Saquon Barkley. In training camp, the Giants had their share of very bad offensive days.
Those you could figure.īut who saw the Cowboys scoring three points against Tampa Bay, or the Falcons building and blowing a late 16-point lead on the Saints, or the Steelers going into Cincinnati and forcing Joe Burrow into five turnovers, or the Bears in the muck and mire of Soldier Field beating the Niners by nine, or the Dolphins having zero trouble with the Patriots, or a kicker you’ve never heard of booting what could have been a 70-yard field goal to lift the Browns over Baker Mayfield, or the Colts tying Houston, or the Packers playing like the 2008 Pack in a 16-point loss to Minnesota, or the Giants being competitive with last year’s AFC one seed, Tennessee? Fourteen games, and how many were chalk? Kansas City pantsing the Cardinals, one. “But I think once you get it, get it rolling, you can you can have a lot of fun with it.One of the reasons the NFL, at the dawn of the league’s 103 rd season, has cornered the market on ratings and just plain fun is because of days like Sunday. “This offense is a lot of fun to play and it takes a lot of reps," Webb said. He also benefitted from working with Daboll and quarterback Josh Allen with the Bills. Webb said his biggest improvement has been being able to escape pressure and to make throws on the run. He threw two late TDs last weekend to rally to Giants (2-1) to a win over Cincinnati. Webb said this has been his best training camp in four seasons as a professional. He was at the helm on four scoring drives: two touchdowns and two field goals. Webb finished 30 of 38 for 202 yards and one touchdown pass. The Giants also had Bellinger and defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes leave in the first half because of possible concussions.
Taylor was not available for comment after the Jets posted a 31-27 win to cap a 3-0 preseason. Third-string quarterback Davis Webb took over with 2:09 left in the first quarter. Taylor was signed this year to back up Daniel Jones, who was given the game off.
