Brian Daboll: Giants aren’t benching Daniel Jones after Week 1 disaster

Coach Brian Daboll, after watching and studying the game tape of the Giants’ woeful 28-6 season-opening loss to the Vikings, said “yes’’ on Monday when asked if he is sticking with Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback.

Daboll replied “nope’’ when asked if there were plans to bring in another quarterback to provide competition for Jones.

There was another “nope’’ from Daboll in response to a question regarding if there will be any altered approach to give backup Drew Lock or No. 3 quarterback Tommy DeVito any additional reps this week in practice.

Jones was abysmal in his first start since going down last season with a torn ACL and the rotten performance had nothing to do with the injury, which has fully healed.

Jones was off-target from the start of the game and never claimed any rhythm in one of the most inaccurate performances since coming to the Giants as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Jones was 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions — one returned 10 yards by linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel for a touchdown.

“I’d say decisions for the most part, people we were looking at, where we were throwing, were good,’’ Daboll said. “Obviously there were some, whether it was an inaccuracy because of a base or maybe there was pressure, there’s a variety of reasons for that.’’

The Giants face the Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field. Jones is 3-1 in his starts in that building and is 5-1-1 in his career against the Washington franchise.
