The giant is looking for Daniel Jones to make a big jump in Year 2

Part one of the New York Giants analysis series.

Over the past 16 years, every evaluation or analysis of the Giants quarterback position began and almost ended with Eli Manning. With Eli and uniform No. 10 outside the building, the spotlight immediately illuminates Daniel Jones, out of the beginner’s year filled with promises and many defeats.

Consider all the ridicule and anxiety caused by general manager Dave Gettleman who has the courage to take Jones by choosing No. 6 in the 2019 draft, Jones freed himself pretty well – pushed into a difficult and sticky place. He should have been patiently waiting for his turn behind Manning – learning from the franchise icon, understanding his role as a temporary young supporter, confusing, not fully accepting that role, especially when involved in blunt summer ex-head coach Pat Shurmur (deliberately?) With things like “I know we are dancing around the words here, but right now Eli is getting ready to have a great year and Daniel is getting ready to play.”

There are examples of Jones who seem more comfortable on the pitch than he avoids political balls when he obediently (and truly) submits to Manning in the locker room, always careful with his words and even his body language, waiting for his turn, until Manning no longer in his locker, to talk to the media.

In many ways – of course physical form, appearance and, sometimes, speech patterns – Jones is an imitation of Eli. Jones, however, quickly developed ties with young players on offense and, behind the scenes, emitted more vibrations of arrogance than Manning had done as a beginner. The recipient really trusts him.

Nobody (other than Shurmur) thinks Jones will start on Week 3, but that’s what happened, triggering a beginner’s ride. Jones won his first two starts then suffered eight consecutive defeats and ended his first year with an initial record of 3-9. He showed an arm that was bigger and more accurate than his design – and Duke – a detractor projected for him. His 279-meter rushing – an average of 6.2 per effort – exhibited excellent and athletic speed. Consider: Manning has never run more than 80 yards in 16 seasons.

Jones’s touchdown-to-interception rate (24-12) is more than acceptable (Manning as a rookie is 6-9) and the percentage of completion is 61.9 not bad at all, given the Giants rarely have a clue and Jones is forced to throw to catch up.

His

Manning acknowledged his presence last season was “probably awkward” for Jones and anticipated, in Manning’s free zone, Jones could have more strongly risked his claim as a worthy successor. Jones admitted it was awkward at times.

Colt McCoy, 33, has just started 28 in his nine-year career – only three started in the last five seasons – and must be in line with the veteran’s prototype reserve. This likely marks the end of Alex Tanney’s two-year stay, when the Giants signed Cooper Rush, who has experience in the system from the time with new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett with the Cowboys.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
