Hogs Haven on Jayden Daniels
From the article
Jayden Daniels should be licking his chops. The Cowboys defense was nothing short of a disaster against the Giants — allowing four points per drive, surrendering nine third-down conversions on 11 attempts, and giving up 394 total yards, including 165 on the ground. Daniels is a significantly better quarterback than Dart. His arm talent, mobility, and ability to manipulate coverage with his eyes are the exact attributes that picked apart the Giants' miscommunication issues.
STACKED’s take
Daniels' arm talent and mobility should exploit Dallas' secondary miscommunications and weak Week 1 defense.
Jayden Daniels should have a favorable matchup against Dallas' defense in Week 2. The Cowboys allowed four points per drive, nine third-down conversions on 11 attempts, and 394 total yards including 165 on the ground against the Giants in Week 1. Jaxson Dart, a second-year QB still finding his footing, threw three touchdown passes and moved the ball at will. Daniels is a significantly better quarterback than Dart with superior arm talent, mobility, and ability to manipulate coverage with his eyes—exactly the attributes that exploited Dallas' miscommunication issues. Blough's play-action system specifically targets linebacker-and-safety conflicts that burned Dallas repeatedly. The Cowboys allowed the second-most EPA per drive of any defense in the NFL in Week 1.
