Giants’ Daniel Jones enjoying Jason Garrett’s offense

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is learning his second offense in two years, but has nothing but good things to say about Jason Garrett.

Daniel Jones is going through his first camp as the starting quarterback of the New York Giants and some things are working and others are not. Jones is learning a new system under a new coaching staff for the second consecutive summer.

Last year, Jones went through Pat Shurmur’s camp as the second-stringer behind Eli Manning. This year, he’s Jason Garrett’s starter and is expected to get a grasp of Garrett’s system very quickly.

“I’ve enjoyed it. I’m trying to do my best to learn the system,” Jones told reporters on Friday. “Understand what he wants and the detail of what he wants us to execute and how he wants us to see it as quarterbacks. He’s an experienced guy who has had a lot of success in this league as an offensive coordinator and obviously as a head coach. I’ve enjoyed learning from him and enjoyed learning this system and trying to do my best to execute it the way it’s supposed to be done.”

One thing that seems to be going well is the Nick Gates experiment at center.

“Gates is someone who we have worked with a lot and I have enjoyed working with,” said Jones. “I think he has done a good job. Last year he was moving around a little bit position wise. He’s moved around a little bit in this camp so far. Like you said, he is playing a little bit at center. I thought he has done a good job.”

Jones’ two touchdown passes were to tight end Kaden Smith — who Jones is forming a solid rapport with going back to last season — and another second year player, David Sills, an undrafted free agent out of Virginia last year, is climbing up the depth chart at wide receiver.

“I think he is a guy out there you can trust, a guy in the right spot a lot of the time and can get open and make plays,” Jones said of Sills. “He’s a good player and he’s had a good camp so far.”

One pass that Jones would like to have back is the interception he threw down the left sideline to a very covered Golden Tate that ended up in the hands of rookie defensive back Darnay Holmes.

“Just a poor decision there,” Jones explained. “We had a double move called, a situation where I have to be smart with the ball and take care of it and make sure we get points. It was a bad decision and something to learn from.

“As we got going and got into more of the play it out situations where we were moving the ball down the field and executing a drive in a game, I thought we settled in on offense and started to play better. That was part of getting more comfortable out there. I think we will continue to get more comfortable as we get more reps.”
