New York Giantsin Daniel Jones

LANDOVER, Md.-New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones downplays a heated conversation with broad recipient Kenny Golladay in Thursday night’s 30-29 loss to the Washington national football team in the fourth quarter, saying Golladay was simply “frustrated.” “

Golladay, who had three catches per 38 yards in eight goals, was seen screaming in the direction of Jones near the bench in the final minutes of the game.

“He was frustrated with the situation,” Jones said afterwards. “I don’t think it was me or anyone in particular.”

Golladay, who signed a massive free agent deal that included a $ 40 million guarantee this interim, has seven catches for 102 yards in his first two Giants matches. He was not commentable after a loss that dropped the Giants to 0-2 after a fifth consecutive season.

New York coach Joe Judge said he saw Jones and Golladay “hugging in the locker room,” but he knew nothing else about the situation.

Jones said he and Golladay chatted in the locker room later and that all was well. The defender said he did not take it personally.

“I say again: He didn’t show me personally,” Jones said. “So part of the game. Like I said, he’s emotional, wants to win. We all do. I respect that.”

Part of Golladay’s anger seemed to stem from his desire to want the ball more. He had only one goal on Thursday in the final quarter, and he covered it tightly.

“Yeah, I think that’s part of it,” Jones said. “You definitely want receivers who want the ball. We’re working through it.”

Jones said he didn’t think he and Golladay would have any problems going forward. The signal callers stressed that the two have a strong relationship and that he appreciates Golladay’s passion and the feelings he brings to the table.

The wide receiver Sterling Shepard is close with both players and didn’t make a big mist.

“I think you have it all messed up,” Shepard said. “[Golladay] was just heated by the situation. We needed big plays, and he warmed up the situation. We all love each other. This is what happens in this game when your feelings come into it. You say what you have to say and you move on. We all love each other, and we swing at the end of the day, hug each other, and keep pushing. “

Despite intense pressure, Jones played one of the best games of his career on Thursday. He threw 249 yards and a touchdown and ran 95 yards and scored. He also had another long goal attack with a penalty.

For the second week in a row, Shepard, not Golladay, was Jones ’favorite and most trusted destination. Shepard grabbed nine assists in 10 goals with 94 yards against Washington.
