Brian Daboll, Daniel Jones embark on first season together
Brian Daboll and Daniel Jones are the couple who met on a blind date and have grown to like and respect each other a great deal.
And that's good for the Giants, because they have the Giants' most important coach/player relationship as they prepare to play their opening game Sunday against the defending AFC South champion Tennessee Titans in Nashville.
Daboll, the team's first-year head coach, and Jones, the fourth-year quarterback, researched each other when Daboll was named the Giants' head coach in January. But no one is ever certain how a new partnership will progress. After working together throughout the spring and summer, they have developed an alliance that will benefit the team during the long NFL season.
"I've heard he was a hard worker," Daboll said yesterday. "I get to see it. He is at it extremely hard. He's here all the time. He's more on the quiet side, but he is ultra, ultra-competitive. He does a really good job in the huddle with his teammates when you just step out and listen to him. I think he's a good leader.
"Daniel, since I've been around him, I think he's got the right approach really every week. Certainly, we weren't game planning in the preseason, but the way he approached things, I've been impressed with."
Jones is already operating in his third NFL offense and the fourth scheme in five seasons counting his final year at Duke.
"The verbiage is definitely different this year," Jones said. "That's something you've got to learn. It just takes time to study, memorize the words and how we are going to call things. The next level of that is understanding the concepts, the plays and getting used to seeing it against certain defenses and knowing what to expect."
