Coach Brian Daboll, QB Daniel Jones

2024-08-18 07:50:02

“Tough to win a game when you turn the ball over five times. Start with that. So, one, decision back in our endzone, give up a score, one-on-one, [Derek] Stingley [Jr.] makes a good play, and then turn it over there in the second half, so don’t give yourself much of a chance when you turn the ball over. Obviously, it’s something we need to improve on so that’s what we’ll try to do.”

On QB Daniel Jones’ thought process on the first interception

“We had a play action pass, called a little bit of time. He [Daniel Jones] moved to the left and made a poor decision, backed up.”

On what QB Daniel Jones should have done

I’m going to go back and look at it, evaluate it. That’s what these games are for.”

On the importance of QB Daniel Jones finishing the half the way he did

“One of the plans was to call some play actions, throw a bunch of deep balls today just to see how our line does, let him drop back, feel a little bit of rush when it’s live and try to push the ball down the field, which has been a point of emphasis. So good for him to hit ‘Slay’ [Darius Slayton]. The third play, I think it was the third play to [Malik] Nabers, Stingley did a good job, got his arm, that was a close one, so that was one of the things we wanted to try to do, was try to push the ball down the field, hit a couple of them but it was good to finish that drive with a touchdown, but first game back after a little bit of a layoff, live scramble for a first down, so some good things but obviously all of us can do better.”

On the evaluation of QB Daniel Jones

“That’s what these games are for too. Some evaluation part of it, but, obviously you have a plan going into it. it’s a little bit different than I would say a regular season game where you’re scheming and doing things like that. I wanted to make sure we had enough plays where we were throwing it down the field, giving opportunities to throw it down the field. Again, there was some good things, good to get him out here and then a couple things we’ll learn from and that’s what these things are for.”

On the decision for WR Malik Nabers to play

“Yeah, no, he’s ready to go. Anybody that was ready to go today was going to play and then anybody that they thought needed some time, we didn’t play. Whoever was ready to go, physically, we’re going to play.”

On what he saw on the WB Malik Nabers highlight reel catches

“Again, I will go back and watch it, but he’s a good player. Glad we have him.”

On if he thought offensive line held up well

“I did. Some of it was action game pass, some of it was just drop back. I thought that that first group, again, this is a faster defense. It’s a good defensive football team and I don’t think we gave up any sacks today until the end and we had a strip sack at the end with [Tommy] DeVito, but, again, I’ll go back and we’ll go back and watch it all and make corrections and try to get better this week.”

On the secondary and trio of receivers

“Yeah, I think they did some good stuff. Again, when you turn the ball over five times and you give up one for a touchdown, that’s tough on a defense. Again, you don’t want that to happen. Better it happens in the preseason, obviously, so you can get some resiliency and learn from it, but I think there’s some good things. That’s a good football team. Tightened up in the red zone, again, had another fourth down stop against their first unit, so a lot to learn from, though, but let’s just start with the turnovers.”

On T Evan Neal not being in uniform

“He wasn’t ready to go. Anybody that was, was ready to go. Hopefully we’ll get him this week, we’ll see where he’s at, but he’s getting close.”

On the second interception

“It was a good read. Stingley made a good play, left it inside on him. It was man-to-man. [Jalin] Hyatt and Stingley with a little bit of a double move on there that turned into a go and I think it left it a little bit inside, on the right hand side.”

“No updates. Gunner [Olszewski] had an injury Friday practice. Gunner will be out for a little while.”
