Cowboys’ Micah Parsons defends Daniel Jones, says Giants were ‘wrong’ not to protect QB in Week 1

Daniel Jones had the second-worst passer rating of any beginning quarterback in Week 1. But Micah Parsons, the Cowboys superstar who wreaked havoc in opposition to the Giants signal-caller on Sunday evening, does not assume Jones must be taking an excessive amount of warmth in New York.

“It’s called protecting your guy — something I thought the Giants should have done,” Parsons mentioned on Bleacher Report’s “The Edge” podcast, according to Giants Wire. “I don’t think Daniel Jones should have been in that game in the fourth quarter. I thought they should have protected him and pulled him out. … (Their) season would be over without Daniel Jones.”

Jones finished simply 15 of 28 passes for 143 yards and two interceptions in New York’s 40-0 loss to Dallas, however a porous offensive line contributed to the erratic day out, with Parsons recording one in all seven Cowboys sacks at the evening.

“I do not agree with Daniel Jones staying out there until that last drive,” Parsons mentioned. “I thought that was wrong. I thought it was deceiving. That’s your franchise quarterback and he’s out there with a backup offensive line, still getting sacked and hit. I just didn’t understand. … Daniel Jones is not a bad quarterback. … You have to remember, Daniel Jones just went against a top-three defense.”

Jones’ scenario would possibly not be hugely stepped forward in the approaching weeks, both. While the Cowboys’ move rush would possibly not revisit New York till Nov. 12, the Giants’ superstar left take on, Andrew Thomas, may pass over more than one video games after struggling a hamstring damage in Week 1.
