Giants QB Daniel Jones A Dual-Threat Wea

Some of the NFL's best dual-threat quarterbacks remain some of its biggest names: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, , and Kyler Murray have all electrified the game with the ability to create something out of nothing with their legs. But New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, hardly a sexy or household name among casual viewers of the sport, has yet to jump Madison Bowey Jersey into this top-tier dual-threat conversation. However, as he's helped lead the Giants to a 6-2 record heading into Sunday's matchup with at MetLife Stadium, he's done so on the back of some impre sive -- and maybe surprising -- individual rushing Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey performances. Safe to say has taken notice. "First off, he's a lot better athlete than he's given credit for," Smith said Monday. "Everybody a sumes he's just a stand-in-the-pocket thrower. Yeah, he can make all the throws, but I think he's been really effective when he's gotten out on the perimeter."

This has allowed the Giants to be sneaky with how they use Jones, something Smith is aware of headed into Sunday. Scroll to Continue"(They) do a great job with (bootlegs)," Smith said. "Their coaches have done a great job with designing some plays to kinda take advantage of his talents." The Texans are allowing the most rushing yards per game (180.6) this season, and Brett Connolly Jersey it really isn't close. The next closest team is the Detroit Lions, who are second in average rush yards allowed (148.8) despite allowing over 30 yards le s than Houston. With a one-two rushing punch like Barkley and Jones to deal with, the Texans could be in for a Matt Niskanen Jersey style of play that has been their biggest nightmare this season. Houston and New York kickoff at 12 p.m. CT on Sunday from MetLife Stadium. and
