Great atmosphere on the New York side. Daniel Jones lost his place. Obviously, he must not like it.
He must appreciate even less having been relegated to the rank of… fourth quarterback!
But he's not the only one who has it bad. First, there are those who publicly support him.
“ He's the number one quarterback. For me he is the best quarterback on the team“, explained Dexter Lawrence to the press after the announcement.
“We are not idiots”
Once the cameras are turned off, the words become more direct. If Jones is relegated far to the bench, it is to avoid any risk of injury. Because if he gets injured, $23 million will be guaranteed to him next season.
“ We are not idiots. They did this for the money. Let it be so“, explains an offensive player on condition of anonymity to FOX Sports. “ But Daniel was classy, he never complained, and now he's being completely pushed aside. The record of the whole team is bad. You can point fingers everywhere. Trying to blame him is bullshit, and making him the third quarterback is really bullshit and petty. »
Atmosphere.
As is often the case when a franchise suffers chronically, it is the management that must be looked at. Those of the New York Giants are no exception.
Drew Lock, number 2 of the New York Giants? Nope
It's not much better behind Daniel Jones. Drew Lock was probably as surprised as Jones to hear that Tommy DeVito would start the next game.
“ This is a question I may still ask myself. I was told I would be number two. It's an interesting situation… I can't say much other than that I'm there for him and we're still very good friends“Lock told SNY.
Despite everything, Brian Daboll tries to put on a good face. Particularly regarding Dexter Lawrence's reaction.
“ Look, not everyone can agree with the decision, and I understand that. We make the decisions we think are best and then we move forward and prepare“, explained the coach to the press. “ Dexter and I have a great relationship and I respect Dex a lot. […] But everyone has their opinions. I have a lot of respect for all our players. I think we are focused. We will be focused and we will do what we have to do against Tampa. »
A victory against the Buccaneers would be the best way to revive the locker room. Because for the moment, the time seems to be one of discontent.
