Give him more weapons and more time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he doesn\u2019t correct it and it becomes a bigger problem, then you go to the next phase of the evaluation: Is this his surroundings or is this who he is now?\u201d Riddick told The Post. \u201cThey are not at that point yet \u2014 and I don\u2019t think anybody needs to be at that point until you get a more stable supporting cast, and you keep a coaching staff in place for more than one year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riddick will be in the analyst\u2019s chair for ESPN\u2019s \u201cMonday Night Football,\u201d when the Giants face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Three years ago, he was the runner-up to Dave Gettleman in the Giants\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> manager search. Two years ago, he favored Dwayne Haskins to Jones for the Giants\u2019 No. 6 pick in the draft, and he could be months away from another round of interviews for GM vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>More playmakers \u2014 not more draft picks \u2014 is a vote for the Giants to keep tight end Evan Engram at Tuesday\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16546680\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone aligncenter\"><img alt=\"Daniel Jones\" width=\"664\" height=\"430\" class=\"size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped wp-image-16546680 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/Daniel-Jones.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/Daniel-Jones.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/Daniel-Jones.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/Daniel-Jones.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=664 664w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/Daniel-Jones.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1328 1328w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 664px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>Daniel Jones<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t trade those kinds of guys,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cThe NFL is a league of selling hope, and one of the ways you can sell that is by saying, \u2018Look at all these picks we have.\u2019 That sounds fun, but maybe you should hold onto Engram instead of going out there into the great unknown and going, \u2018I don\u2019t know what kind of player I\u2019m going to get, but I\u2019ve got a nice third-rounder.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Engram has a dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointing 26 catches for 233 yards in what was supposed to be his breakout year under new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. His drop against the Eagles last week likely cost the Giants a win.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL5031294668&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey try to find creative ways to get the ball to him,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cThey are looking for 1-on-1 matchup situations where he is against the safety, but play-calling is a tricky thing when you are having a hard time running the football, a hard time protecting and the quarterback is having a hard time getting the ball out fast enough. It starts affecting all the plans you have for everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 favorite target is Darius Slayton, who has 27 catches for 429 yards and three touchdowns. As the Giants build, is Slayton suited to be their No. 1 receiver or a complement?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not a No. 1 yet, but he\u2019s working toward that,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cMaybe with a more diverse skill-set as far as the route tree he runs and his ability to win whether he\u2019s inside or outside, whether it\u2019s short, inter<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te or deep, whether it\u2019s run-after-catch and 50\/50 balls. No. 1s win in all kind of environments. Right now, he would stand to benefit from having a true bona fide lead dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riddick compared how the Giants use Slayton as a backside receiver to the way the Cardinals use DeAndre Hopkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league respects the connection between him and Daniel because of how prolific they have been on the deep ball,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cHe is a guy I have my eye on Monday because they know they are going to need the points, and he is their biggest home-run hitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forcing the ball to Slayton sometimes gets Jones in trouble. Riddick identified a formula behind Jones pressing and making bad decisions: Expectations for a high draft pick. Playing without some of his top weapons. Chatter about a winnable NFC East Division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t make sweeping decisions about what kind of player he is going to be because there are too many things around him that are uncertain,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cThe one thing he does need to cut down is turning over the football because then you have no shot of winning. If he keeps doing that, you are not going to win games. If you don\u2019t win games, people look to replace you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones won a shootout against the Buccaneers in his first career start. He wasn\u2019t facing Tom Brady then, and the Buccaneers didn\u2019t have the look of a Super Bowl favorite. They do now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are loaded \u2014 they just need to put it all together,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cQuite honestly, this is a game they need to make a statement. No disrespect, but the Giants are outmatched from a personnel standpoint. That doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t win it, but Tampa needs to win this game convincingly if they want people to consider them the favorite in the NFC.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/11\/01\/espn-analyst-on-what-daniel-jones-giants-legacy-hinges-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#ESPN analyst on what Daniel Jones&#8217; Giants legacy hinges on&#8221; Louis Riddick isn\u2019t ready to write off Daniel Jones just because he has fumbled or thrown an interception in all 20 games of his career.
