Giants Boomer Esiason breaks down preseason opener | WFAN
“It was fine,” Boomer said. “Daniel Jones I thought was a little nervous, but I expect that. Saquon was OK, he wasn’t great.
“There was a play late in the first quarter where Saquon’s replacement was in the backfield and he got steamrolled right into Daniel Jones. It was a blitz by the patriots and it affected Daniel Jones’ throw. So some things haven’t changed. There was also a delayed blitz on a play action pass, and he got hit, so some of those things have to be ironed out.”
Well, yeah, Boomer. It was the first preseason game. You expect perfection?

Kadarius Toney is the choice here.
There’s plenty of optimism that the Giants offense and quarterback Daniel Jones can take a leap under a new coaching staff and with an offensive line that should be better. Part of that rests on what Toney brings as a lightning quick playmaker. They’ll want to get the ball in his hands any way possible, and he’s explosive when he gets it. The opportunities will be there.

“What you like about being a rookie is you have something to prove. It motivates you every day,” Beavers said. “This is my dream. I wanted to get drafted. That was the goal, that’s what happened. Everyone’s dream is to be the first [at his position] off the board, but I wanted to have an opportunity to prove myself, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”
