Good morning, New York Giants fans!
This is how New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is wired. His obsession with football goes deeper than what transpires between the lines on game day.
“The more I study the film, the more in command of the offense I can be,” Dart said at his locker last week. “The more in command of the offense I am, the more my teammates and coaches will hear and respect what I say. Because that’s what it’s all about.”
How a decision Giants made in 2019 hangs over the futures of Jaxson Dart and Brian Daboll. Was it a mistake then? A mistake now?
‘When you have a coach who you know has your back, I’m going to do everything I can for him to win.’
Which rookie has made a case for more playing time after a strong start?
Fowler: He’s already getting more time, but Giants running back Cam Skattebo is proving a capable option out of the backfield with Tyrone Tracy Jr. sidelined by injury. Skattebo’s recent impact has been undeniable. His ability to knife through tackles and create additional yards will be crucial for a streaky (that’s putting it nicely) New York passing offense. He averaged nearly six yards per touch thus far.
When I asked about the Giants making a move to add a receiver via trade or free agency, the response I got was, “There are no replacements for Malik Nabers. You can’t replace that guy.” Very true. So the Giants seem inclined to roll with what they have at this point.
24. Jaxson Dart. New York Giants QB. One start in, Dart is already a winner in the eyes of Giants fans, both literally and figuratively. He wasn’t flawless against the Chargers, but his legs were a real X factor, opening up New York’s offense even as Malik Nabers left due to injury. (+3)
