New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones leads the NFL in fumbles lost with nine this season. Week after week, the team and Jones talk about how they plan on tightening up on ball security but we haven’t seen any of whatever those methods are working so far.

When Tom Coughlin took over as head coach of the Giants in 2004, he had a chronic fumbler in the fold in running back Tiki Barber and did what prep school and college coaches do to fumblers — he made Barber hold a football practically round the clock until he stopped fumbling.

On Wednesday, Jones was asked if that drill could help him, he believes it will not.

“I haven’t done that, and I’m not sure I will,” he told reporters.

And Jones probably shouldn’t. Barber was a running back and ball security is different for the most part, except when Jones decided to tuck the ball under and make a run for it.

Coughlin’s solution for Barber was for him to hold the ball “high and tight,” perpendicular to the ground where tacklers could not get a decent shot at it. Jones can’t really do that as his fumbles mainly have come while attempting to throw the football.

“Yeah, I think for me, it’s in the pocket a lot and keeping two hands on the ball in the pocket. So, whether we’re doing drills in practice, whether we’re doing seven on seven or anything like that, I need to continue to focus on that,” he said.

Jones has a long way to go to break or set any team records. Eli Manning has 124 fumbles in his career and Phil Simms has 93. The Giants’ single season mark for fumbles is 23, set by Kerry Collins in 2001.
