Behind Enemy Lines: Week 17 Q&A with The Giants Wire

The Eagles Wire sits down with Dan Benton of The Giants Wire to discuss Sunday’s matchup between the Eagles and the New York Giants.

2. What are your thoughts on Daniel Jones as the Giants QB of the future? Name some strengths and weaknesses that he’ll likely enhance or address heading into his second season?

Believe it or not, my mother bought me a Blue Devils jersey when I was a young child and I became a fan of the program by association. As such, I’ve actually watched Daniel Jones every week of his college career and I had high expectations for him the moment he was drafted. He has not disappointed. Jones has a much stronger and accurate arm than anyone was initially willing to admit, and his willingness to take shots down the field reminds me of the gunslingers of old. He’s also deceptively fast and can change the game with his legs. Maybe not in the way Lamar Jackson does, but it’s an aspect of his game that must be accounted for. His biggest flaw is obvious: ball security. While his interception numbers are in an acceptable range, his fumbles are not. I think there will be a significant emphasis placed on cleaning that up this offseason.
