Darius Slayton emphasized that during the recent joint practice with the Jets, the first-team offense's inability to achieve downfield plays was not due to flaws in Daniel Jones or the Giants' offense, but rather a strategic move from Robert Saleh's defense that played conservatively to mitigate deep threats. This highlights the importance of context in evaluating quarterback performance and offensive effectiveness in practice scenarios.
Reflecting on the joint practice against the Jets, Slayton noted that the defensive strategy was to maintain a cushion, which led to a lack of explosive passing plays. He mentioned that the defense's plan was executed to keep the Giants' offense from utilizing their speed and explosiveness on deeper routes. Such strategic defensive play often leads to misinterpretations about the offense's capabilities.
