If someone can bring the most in Colts Daniel Jones, it’s Shane Steichen

Daniel Jones has made 70 regular seasons will start in Nfl. Sixty nine came with GiantsA team that chose it number 6 in 2019 years, on Sunday is the first to start for it Colts.

I’m not sure how much it could be much better; Jones ended 22 of 29 (75.9%) for 272 yards and touchdown, two more suffered from the yard, and the Colts previously lost 11 straight seasons, violated from 33-8 victories of 33-8 Dolphins The equipment that played as all 53 players in the active roster who first met for 10 minutes before the start.

There are more: Jones had seven previous beginnings in which he finished better than 75.9% of his throws, but he never dropped more than 203 yards in any of those games. It changed on Sunday, as well as opinions about Jones “insults in the Shane Steichen’s misdemeanor – and what it means for the attacker and a team that had a pre-season at a total of 7.5.

It is so easy to overly overly – Sunday is 1, we’ve been without football for seven months and we are desperate for something – anything – But it’s also easy to see why Jones could be this year Darnold himself.

Or to put a prettier point on it: can jones be Jalen Hurts That Shane Steichen has never been able to collect Anthony Richardson?

There is certainly no shade on the question. Jones, who is criminally undervalued as athletes – declared 186 meters (!!) against UNC in 2018 years and hit 21 mph Eagles to that memorable-for all the wrong reasons Early in his NFL career – it also doesn’t hurt a runner.

That said, Jones can start (as it rolled that shot); She rushed 708 meters and seven Touchdovna 2022. Year, first year with Brian Dabol, when the giants exceeded everyone’s expectations and not only went to playoffs, but they crossed Wiking in a wild card circle. His average of 17 games is 528 rushes in season per season, according to Pro-Football-References. Average of 17 Hurting Games is 696 rushes in a hastel.

But Jones is a better processor in the passing game currently pain in 2021. and 2022. years, two years ago, had Steichen as his offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. In those two years, the pain has improved its relationship-in-interception ratio (16-to 9 in 2021. to 10. to 22. 2022), its completion percentage (61.3% to 66.5%) and its passer-by (87.2 to 101.5).

If Jones is next along 2021. or 2022. years, it hurts, that’s the reason it is also improving about Richardson. The staff of Colts Coach agrees because they listed it a starter in the pre-season.

Former Titans General Manager Ran Carton, which is also my host in “first choice” NFL draft Podcast, he said at the beginning of May that although Colts had open competition, their actions spoke louder than anything they may have said publicly publicly.

“I think the decision brought a low key species already signed by signing Daniel Jones” At that time, CARTHON said. “And you can say,” Hey, we create competition “… but you bring a veteran who has something to prove, and now already recognized,” Hey, maybe it’s time to move on. “

“It’s hard for everyone, especially sitting in the stool, is to admit” the mistake “when you draw someone. And I always give Kyle Shanahan and John Linch credit after they drew Trey Lance Br. 3 as a whole. Once it was familiar Brock Purdy Was there a guy, they were willing to move and say, “Hey, it’s time to cut links with (chain), no matter what cost us and no matter what you’re back to return.”

Sunk Sulfost Misconception is real when you talk about high round elections, especially the substance, because, in the back of the mind, it is always that chance to work. In the case of Colts, it could be related to Richardson or Jones, but the difference is that Jones is currently fitting Steichen’s offense.

Richardson’s service applied the last two seasons was parisal, mostly because he didn’t play a lot of football. Jones, meanwhile, started 36 games in the Duke and 70 more in the NFL. And when you talk to people in the giant building, you hear that Jones is a fantastic teammate, even a better person, he doesn’t carefully hard and it’s pretty good at what he’s asked for what he asked for what he asked for what he asked for what she asked him to. But when you ask him to deviate from it – it’s when it comes into trouble.

The source in the league explained this: Jones really good when what he sees from the defense before Snap is what he gets after shooting. It will fight, however, if that image is changed.

And in the NFL, the image changes a lot. Consider your two-way look, the defense will only cover only to cover 1 or cover 3 or blitz after the ball breaks. This help explains why Jones can sometimes be locked and then it can look completely and completely lost. However, I mention it, because in the view of Jones 33 Padbar on Sunday, Miami’s defense rarely showed one defense before shooting and another after what Jones saw what he had gone.

Dolphins showed two high security on Tyler Warren The reception – and they played cover 4 after shooting. They showed post security on Adonai Mitchell admission – and played cover 1 after shooting.

Colts did not start the result as if it were a case only because of these two examples. As I mentioned above, Miami looked like they didn’t want to be on the field – from either side of the ball. The offense was anemic and the defense was invisible. It was so bad that the indi scored at all eight estates, every time they got the ball, the first team to do it in Super Bowl Era.

But two things can be true: Dolphins can be hot mess and Jones, who now in its seventh NFL season, can also set the best career number of its career this season.

It is chased offensive line of Colts, running was led by Jonathan Taylor and widescrews include Michael PittmanMitchell, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. And there is Warren, their first deadline of 2025. year who was a large part of the 1 team plan; It was targeted nine times, had seven catches 76 meters, and you could argue that the user of the defensive interference is in the end zone that is not marked. Warren was another leading receiver for Colts, behind Pitman only.

Steichen is consistently sent to the games that had facilitated the life of the Jones; He had Man-Beatters vs. Cover 1, Zone-Beatters vs. Cover 4, and in the rare occasion that Jones confused what he saw down, he got the ball on time. And everything did it while faced with low pressure; According to Trumedia, Jones was under pressure on only 24% of their poldy information, which was the third best in the league in 1. The week.

Then the game of India launches, which was good for 156 meters. And while Taylor and Rookie DJ Giddens Each is average below 4.0 meters per wearing, the dolphins were extinguished most of the afternoon. In fact, the fourth ranked fourth in Rush EPA among all weekly crimes behind only GRAGENGES, Commanders and Jaguars.

Look, this could crash and burn next week – remember that Jones’ first NFL start in 2019. Years, winning noises at 3. Week? He was 22 of 36 for 339 meters, two Touchdovna, without interception, two pushes Touchdovna … as well as five bags and two lost pounds. Giants fans were taughtDave Gettleman has no doubt felt a level of revenge, and it seemed like the giants really found their franchise.

Jones and the giants won the next week, before he lost the next eight beginnings and the team ended 4-12. Colts under Steichen left 9-8 and 8-9 with a combination of Richardson, Gardner Minshev and Joe Flacco Under the center.

But that feels different. Partly, because this is the best team Jones played for a return to high school. Partly, because if Sean Mcway, Kyle Shanahan and Andy Reid consistently the best NFL players, when you talk to people around the league, Steichen as 1a.

And this is the best scenario for Daniel Jones.
