Giants have second-most dropped passes entering Week 7
The New York Giants offense has had plenty of struggles so far this season. There's the inability to score points, red zone failures, missed field goals, and lack of explosive plays to blame.
Another area that can be pointed to is the many dropped passes. The Giants have dropped 16 passes this season, the second-most in the NFL through six weeks behind only the Cleveland Browns (19).
Darius Slayton leads the way with four, followed by Wan'Dale Robinson and Malik Nabers with three each. None, perhaps, was more damaging than the fourth down drop by Nabers in a 21-18 loss to Washington in Week 2.
Quarterback Daniel Jones needs all the help he can get to spark the offense and the drops have been a hindrance.
"We feel like we should catch every ball. Especially if it's coming and hitting our hands," Robinson said in late September. "So, that's on us. At the end of the day, we've got to make those plays for Daniel even if it's not a perfect ball.
"For us, it's just making sure we're looking at it all the way in and not trying to do too much before making the catch all the way."
Slayton has always had issues with drops, but the others are just starting out with Jones as their quarterback. Hopefully, the Giants can rectify the issue and become more efficient.
