Daniel Jones has been told he's the New York Giants' starting quarterback going forward, but he declined to say if coach Brian Daboll has given him assurances about how long that will remain the case if the offense's struggles continue. Jones was benched for Drew Lock during the fourth quarter of the Giants' 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. The following day, Daboll said that Jones will be under center when the Giants (2-5) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) next Monday night.
Both said Thursday that the two have spoken this week, but declined to provide details of what was said about Jones' job security. "We went over the game, watched the film and spoke about the game," Jones said. "I'll leave a lot of that private.
But, like I said, I'm getting ready to play Pittsburgh. "Obviously, no one's happy about the way the game went last week. I think there's a number of issues that we're all looking to address and improve.
That's what we got to do. Starting with me, I'm taking that approach. But we're moving forward this week.
I think that's our mindset." The Giants enter Week 8 ranked 28th in total offense, averaging 290.7 yards per game, while the passing game is 23rd at 189.
1 yards per game. After an impressive 29-20 upset at Seattle in Week 6, New York has scored a combined 10 points in consecutive losses. Lock also struggled while playing from multiple scores down and behind an offensive line that struggles to pass protect.
Asked if he has provided Jones any.
