STUMP STORY OF THE DAY✍️

DANIEL ‘Don’t Touch My Guys’ JONES!

We got a brouhaha in Giants-Lions joint practice! Dan Jones isn’t standing for any BS!

I’ll tell you what if you have Dan Campbell and Brian Daboll as the Head Ball Coaches at a joint practice in August. It might as well be the goddamn Super Bowl because the guys out there will be going 110% no doubt!

Not only were there a couple guys who had to be evaluated for injuries throughout the practice (including Lions first-round CB Terrion Arnold), but there were MULTIPLE SCRUMS!

One of these BROUHAHAS involved Giants QB Daniel Jones. Just one play after he hit his throwing hand on a Lions players helmet and Daboll yelled at the Lions D to back off, Giants center Greg Van Roten was at the bottom of a pile.

One guess as to who got in there to back up his center, and his nickname rhymes with Manny Mimes. Here’s a video attached (down below) of the pile. It may not look like much but for a QB who is still trying to earn the respect of his team, fanbase, and the entire state of New York, it goes a long way.

Here’s a quote from Edge Rusher Brian Burns:

“Oh, lord. Daniel got jiggy with it…Daniel, he’s a competitor, man. He’s a fighter. So I don’t expect anything less from him.”

I’m not a Giants fan but man I’m rooting for him. He’s got juice, he’s got heart, and he’ll back up his guys! Good stuff Danny!
