One of the keys to the plan’s ultimate success or failure will be the willingness of the pupil — Jones — to learn.Thursday night, in a brief conference call with New York media, he sounded ready.“I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to learn for a young quarterback Authentic Darius Slayton Jersey ,” Jones said. “He is a guy that’s had a whole lot of success in the NFL and there is a reason for that. I’m looking to understand that and do my best to learn as much as I can from him while he’s in New York.”Jones will, of course, be viewed as the heir apparent. He said Thursday that he is “going to be myself and not try to be Eli or be anything but myself.”Here are some of the other things Jones touched on.On what he does well ...“I think physically, I can make every throw on the field. My accuracy is certainly I feel a strength of mine, and I think I have the athleticism to extend plays and play outside the pocket if I need to. So physically I think I can do both those things well.”On what he can improve on ...“I think I can get better at times making that decision to lay the ball off or throw it away. Coach Cut (David Cutcliffe) at Duke said understanding when to stop competing, understanding when a play is over with. I think I can do better with that.”On meeting coach Pat Shurmur ...“I thought it was great. I think we connected and he is certainly someone who I have a lot of respect for and he’s been a really good coach in the NFL for a long time. So getting to know him and being able to interact with him through this process was great and I thought it went well.”On what adversity he has faced ...“If you look back at my recruitment, I came to Duke as a walk-on Darius Slayton Jersey Boys , a guy who wasn’t recruited very heavily and I think that was part of it. Not being immediately obvious that I would play college football somewhere or at the level I thought I could, but it worked out and Coach Cut gave me the opportunity to walk-on and I eventually earned a scholarship, but I had to overcome it and I’m glad it went the way it went and I wouldn’t do it any other way.” The Giants have now brought back both Pulley and Jon Halapio"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 17New York Giants NewsGiants Free Agency 2019Giants roster moves: C Spencer Pulley re-signedNew,330commentsThe Giants have now brought back both Pulley and Jon HalapioEDTShareTweetShareShareGiants roster moves: C Spencer Pulley re-signedSpencer Pulley (77)Bill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsThe New York Giants continued to try and strengthen their offensive line Monday, reaching a three-year, $9.6 million deal with center Spencer Pulley.Pulley’s agency quickly took to Twitter to confirm the deal.Pulley Infant Darius Slayton Jersey , 25, will get $2.325 million in guaranteed money, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. The Giants made the signing official Monday afternoon, though they did not announce contract details.The Giants on Friday announced the re-signing of Jon Halapio, an exclusive rights free agent who opened 2018 as the starting center. GM Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur often discussed Halapio’s loss, but Pulley did a nice job taking over midway through the season.Pulley, 6-foot-4 and 308 pounds Darius Slayton Jersey Draft , entered the NFL out of Vanderbilt as an undrafted free agent with the San Diego Chargers in 2016. As a rookie, he saw action in all 16 games at center, left guard and right guard and provided protection on special teams. The following year, the Chargers moved to Los Angeles and Pulley started all 16 games at center and led all Chargers offensive players with 1,056 offensive snaps.Pulley was waived by Los Angeles on Sept. 1 and was awarded to the Giants the following day.Pulley ended up starting nine games and was the middle man on a group that played better over the second half of the season. Pulley ranked 23rd out of 39 qualifying centers graded by Pro Football Focus.Perhaps the Giants are setting up a center competition between Halapio and Pulley. Both have the ability to play guard if necessary, so one could be looked at as quality interior offensive line depth.
