Winston Blames Downs, Not Rams for Giants' Loss
22 Sep
Summary
- Winston cited third-and-long situations as the primary cause of offensive struggles.
- He emphasized the need for better execution on first and second downs.
- Winston's performance was impacted by Jaxson Dart's early knee injury.
Jameis Winston attributed the New York Giants' recent 28-6 defeat to offensive struggles with downs and distance rather than the Los Angeles Rams' defensive pressure. He explained that frequently being in third-and-long situations allowed the Rams to anticipate passing plays, complicating the offense's execution.
Winston emphasized that the team must improve its performance on first and second downs to avoid predictable offensive sets. He specifically addressed an interception, detailing how a cornerback made a play due to pressure and anticipating the pass. His comments followed Jaxson Dart's departure from the game due to a knee injury early on.
Looking ahead, Winston stated that his focus is on supporting Jaxson Dart and keeping the team motivated for their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. He views any potential starting role as a matter of preparedness, asserting that pressure is for the unprepared and he will be ready if called upon.
