Last season did not go the way the New York Giants expected as quarterback Daniel Jones struggled mightily during the first few weeks of the season before suffering a season-ending knee injury. But the Giants don’t seem to think Jones was the one who was primarily responsible for his struggles.
During the premiere episode of this season of HBO’s Hard Knocks, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen pointed out that Daniel Jones “didn’t have much of a chance” due to the team’s poor offensive line as he even went as far as to suggest that the team wouldn’t have even been able to win with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.
“He didn’t have much of a chance this year,” Schoen said according to Pro Football Talk. “That’s legit. The core guys that were gonna play together played 60 snaps together. Miami, we got three [freaking] practice squad guys playing for us. You could have Pat Mahomes he can’t [freaking] win behind that.”
Obviously, this is some pretty brutal news for the Giants, given that Schoen was the one who assembled last year’s team in the first place, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
lol, the defense and DC of KC was the star in ‘23 and the Super Bowl. Schoen/Daboll are on the hot seat.

Imagine telling the world why you are so bad at your job. Why you have failed so far and why you will no longer be employed in about 10 months.

The Giants did not select a single offensive lineman in the draft, but did sign guards Jermaine Eluemunor and Jon Runyan in free agency. We’ll have to see if those two players fix the team’s problems.
