Daniel Jones has been under heavy fire all season as the Giants continue to struggle along the offensive line.
But Boomer made it clear on Tuesday that he doesn’t believe Jones is exonerated from the 17 sacks he has taken over the last two weeks.
“A number of those sacks were on him,” Boomer said. “They’re not all on the offensive line. He has to react accordingly when those blitzes start happening and guys come free. That’s the troubling part for me.
“I played that position, so I know what the responsibility is…Everybody’s screaming about the offensive line and the offensive coordinator, when the player isn’t doing what he’s supposed to do.”
Boomer doesn’t see enough life and energy from Jones, and says that is a big problem in overcoming the heavy pressure he has faced so far this season.
“You cannot be a flatliner and play in this league,” Boomer said. “Patrick Mahomes, throw him out there with any 10 guys. He’s not gonna flatline himself into the locker room and lose. He’s gonna compete his ass off and raise everyone’s level up. That’s what I’m talking about when I talk about quarterbacking, for any team.”
