Per @Doug_Analytics the #Giants win probability dropped 19% after Daniel Jones' first INT, but he also had some of his best throws of the year v DET. He also didn't pull the trigger on throws they need him to.
More good than bad.✅
Here's some of the film in this thread (cont)

Starting the thread w/ the good clips
This was my favorite Daniel Jones play of the game:
Escapes pressure✅
Generates ++velocity completely off platform w/ pure arm talent✅
Changes trajectory to layer over second level's fingertips✅
Ball placement straight up PERFECT✅
#Giants

The above clip was a 3rd&10; this one is a 3rd&15
I love the growth from Daniel Jones here re: resetting the pocket and finding a new pass lane rather than rolling to his right and cutting off half the field. This keeps the Hodgins dagger route in play and DJ drives it.
#Giants

The most advanced QB play of the game for Daniel Jones and a very positive sign for me as he goes through a full field progression.
Look how fast he moves from 1, to 2, to 3 (Wan'Dale).
The QBs who can move through progressions like this consistently have a big edge. #Giants

2nd&18 situation. Need to get into 3rd& manageable.
Daniel Jones holds the LB (55) with his eyes/helmet before snapping back to check the underneath route to Wan'Dale quickly, confirming his pass lane and then driving the ball through it to Golladay. Sets up 3rd&short. #Giants

Love that the #Giants finally started taking downfield shots on back shoulder balls. This was the second after they just missed connecting earlier in the game.
The thing I like most: Daniel Jones subtly sliding to his right in the face of interior pressure to reset the pocket.

Daniel Jones converts a 3rd&7 here off script. Jones has done a few things much better this year but one that stands out the most is his ability to create off platform. He's consistently keeping his eyes down the field when on the move and he's about 100x more patient. #Giants

Ok now time for some of the plays he left on the field.
Areas he needs to improve: It's always more about the throws Daniel Jones DOESN'T attempt/see, typically downfield.
This is a perfect play call and Saquon is wide open. SB canhouse this w/ that much space b/w the safety.

Late game, trying to pick up points/yards fast, you don't want Daniel Jones throwing a drag w/ a defender sitting on it.
The #Giants have run some vert/wheel route combo all year and DJ has not ONCE pulled the trigger on the wheel or vert.
You want him throwing the wheel here.

Here's another angle of the Hodgins fumble on the pass he led right into the hit. DJ's eyes never go right and so that defender could be literally a half yard away from the drag and he wouldn't know. It's also why he misses the open wheel route on the right side. #Giants

Bottom of screen: These are the types of hole shots you're going to get against this type of coverage.
It's not easy, there's a small window, the ball HAS to be thrown w/ anticipation IMMEDIATELY when that WR comes out of his break, but this is exactly what Tua has thrived on.

We'll close the thread out there. I could go over the two INTs, but we covered them in depth on the 2 hour++ film review (you can watch the tape w/ us). If you enjoyed this thread and want more analysis like it you'll find it there on the YouTube. #Giants
