It was clear Brian Daboll viewed Saturday night’s preseason finale with the Jets as the final look at a bunch of players on the fringe of the roster.
The Giants did not feel they needed to learn anything more about Daniel Jones. Or Darren Waller. Or, for that matter, rookie center John Michael Schmitz.
Daboll did what he felt was best for his own team and opted for safety above all else in a preseason-ending loss at MetLife Stadium.Daniel Jones did not see the field on Saturday.What this all meant is Jones played only one series in the preseason, a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive last week against the Panthers.
He was coming off reconstructive knee surgery that limited him to three games last season and played in only seven games in 2021 after rupturing his Achilles tendon.Shepard was on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp but after a few days was activated and has not faltered since then.
Has Shepard done enough to stay around? It is a crowded receiver room and there are plenty of options.Newly signed Isaiah Simmons, who arrived on Friday, not only was in uniform but he actually started at an outside linebacker spot. Jihad Ward bumped Rodgers after a pass and the two jawed with each other after the play — Rodgers seemed to take exception to the contact. It happened again moments later.Befitting a third and final preseason game, this was a backup-centric situation for the Giants.
