Good Morning, New York Giants Fans!
While New York Giants did rack up 336 passing yards on the arm of Rocky Daniel Jones in week three, they have an opportunity to beat that benchmark. The Washington Redskins have a lackluster defense thus far in the season, which represents an opportunity for the Giants to take advantage.
Jones will be given full autonomy to utilize the entire playbook, something that veteran Eli Manning was unable to do it at the expense of his inability to run with the football.
Luckily, Big Blue will gain back another pass catcher in Cody Latimer. This season, Latimer has six receptions for 104 yards. Those totals almost match his 2018 numbers of 11 receptions and 190 yards in just two games. Latimer seems to be a focal point in the offense and will be a catalyst for moving the chains. Also, he represents another pair of quality hands for Jones to utilize.
The Giants returned Sterling Shepard from a concussion in week three and now Latimer in week four. In week five, Golden Tate’s suspension will finally come to a resolution. That will be the first week out of the season that the Giants have a healthy wide receiver corps barring no injuries arise. Jones is in a fantastic situation moving forward, and he will have all of his weapons aside from Barkley to utilize in the passing game.
