Dart, Giants offense look 'disjointed' early
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Giants head coach John Harbaugh praises Jaxson Dart’s versatility and athleticism, indicating the team will incorporate RPOs and quarterback runs, which boosts Dart’s fantasy football appeal despite injury concerns.
- Dart’s recent political appearance at a Trump rally caused locker room tension, but team leaders addressed the issue, and Harbaugh has spoken to Dart; the incident is unlikely to have a lasting impact on the team.
- Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, known for his work with the Chiefs, will develop Dart’s game, aiming to utilize his mobility and physical skills in a system that may rely less on passing and more on a running game led by Cam Skattebo.
- The Giants open the season on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, providing a national stage to showcase their offseason rebuild under Harbaugh and Nagy.
- Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator pick, Monken, who had success with Lamar Jackson’s mobile style, is expected to join the Giants, potentially accelerating Dart’s development and benefiting other skill players like Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
