Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“We have to focus on the little things,” said Nabers, whose frustration boiled to the surface one quarter into the season. “I feel like penalties also caused a lot of our plays to get [called] back. We had a lot of explosive plays that just got flags, false starts, stuff like that… We were late getting out of the huddle a couple times, so we have to be on pace to get on the ball, put some pressure on the defense, so we can get what we want. “And I’d probably say just spread the ball around to every guy. We all got talent on the football field. In this offense, we got a lot of talent. We have to spread the ball, give a couple guys the targets, the ball, and see what they do with the ball in their hands.”
Wilson has been around long enough to know that teams don’t stick with veteran quarterbacks leading punchless offenses long when there’s a rookie like Dart on the sideline. Especially as Daboll continues to beam whenever he speaks about the only quarterback drafted in his four years with the Giants.
Dart’s primary role during practice is operating the scout-team offense against the starting defense, but the tight-lipped Daboll volunteered that the rookie is also mixed in “once in a while” with the first-team offense. Dart could get “mixed in” for a package of plays on Sunday, which was reportedly the plan for the opener. But he’ll only take over as the starter — at least in the near future — if Wilson struggles.
The Commanders, sources confirmed to SNY, spent time watching film of the rookie quarterback in case he was put in the game in the opener. The Cowboys, sources told SNY, have done exactly the same. They’re preparing for both Wilson and Dart and expect to see the Ole Miss product if the Giants fall behind early.
That’s because Dart brings something Wilson does not. Sources told SNY that the 36-year-old Wilson, in his older age, appears apprehensive to take chances in games. You don’t...
