Sport Reef Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infiniti Sports Network. The New York Giants, of only three games, have made a. A big move. Jackson Dart is now the starting quarterback over Russell Wilson. What does this mean for Russell Wilson?
What does this mean for Dart? What does this mean for Dayball? What does this mean for the Giants? Joining us right now is someone who covers all things, New York Giants, for SI, Lockdown Giants podcast. Joining us right now is Patricia Traynor.
Patricia, how are you? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm very well. Really appreciate the time.
We see that the New York Giants have made this move. Brian Dayball has kind of changed his tune over the past couple of weeks. And today we find out Jackson Dart is the starting quarterback. Are you surprised, even with the record, that they've made the change this early? Yes and no.
I'm surprised that, you know, especially after they talked Russell Wilson up all offseason, the leadership, everything, that, you know, football is a team game and it's not, you know, the 0-1-3 record is not necessarily on one guy. You know, that I guess I'm surprised with. I'm not surprised because. I figured that if they got off to a slow start, this is year four of the Brian Dable and Joe Shane era. They have to win.
John Mara last year, at the end of last year, made that very, very clear. And with the seasons starting to circle the drain, this could almost be viewed sort of like a desperation move, you know. the a case of maybe Dable seeing that the kid is ready to go. And is he really ready to go? I mean, we won't know obviously until he starts playing, but I think they're hoping that he is ready to go and that what they saw in practice wasn't a mirage.
Well, Patricia, you talk about the implications that this has on Brian Day Wolf's job as head coach of the New York Giants. What are the implications? If they finish at around even or Jackson Dart shows some potential, doesn't he now also have a case to say Hey, you gotta let me see this through to next year, or would that be a negative? No, I think he'll make that case. I mean, if the team finishes, you know, with the same record as last year, which hopefully they won't, you know, Dave will.
like you said, he could s say to John Mara, Hey, you know, keep show progress so let's You know, let's keep with the plan here.
Now, that doesn't mean that the entire coaching staff will necessarily be back. I mean, I have to think some of the coordinators might be on the hot seat, so to speak. But, you know, the bottom line is if this thing spirals out of control and if the offensive line doesn't do its job and Jackson Dark gets bounced around back there like a pinball machine, all arguments now are going to evaporate for Dable and it could lead to him being dismissed. No, yeah, it could definitely. Patricia Trana is here with us, covers the Giants for SI.
When you think about Russell Wilson, who's been benched now, we know Jameis Winston is still on the roster. Is there a chance that we see Russell back on the field? Will he ultimately be released? Will he be traded? What's his future look like?
I think for the time being, Russell's going to be quarterback two behind Jackson Dart. That being said, I don't think Russell Wilson came to New York with the idea that he would be a backup quarterback. I don't know obviously what kind of conversations they have, but if you go back to a year ago when Daniel Jones was here and he was coming off of his injury. Russell Wilson made a start here, or stop here rather. And he went on to Pittsburgh because basically the Giants told him when Daniel Jones is healthy, he's going to be our starter.
So you can stay and you can be our backup, but Daniel's our starter.
Well, Russell didn't want any part of that. He went to Pittsburgh, where he started and ended up having to split time with Justin Fields at the time. But I think that was due in part to injury.
So, I can't imagine that Russell Wilson is going to. Fully embrace the situation. I don't think he'll make problems. I don't think he'll cry about it to the media. That's not the type of person he is.
But I could also see a scenario where maybe Just maybe. After a few weeks, maybe the Giants look to move him in a trade to one of these quarterback-meety teams. Cincinnati probably needs a quarterback. New Orleans, who the Giants face in week five, they probably could use a veteran quarterback.
So maybe there's an opportunity there if Jackson Dart takes root as a starter. They say, okay, you know what, Russ, you've been a good soldier. We're going to send you to a team where you can be a starter. And we're just going to roll with our plan that we were going to roll with next year, which would be to have Dart start. and Jameis Winston back'em up.
Oh, Patricia, what do you think the reception is from from the locker room? We heard for the past couple of weeks, especially this past Sunday, the players are not stupid. They play conde coy. Oh, I didn't hear the fans calling for Jackson and not paying attention to it. They they hear it.
They know. Is this something that you think is being embraced in the locker room? And how is this offense going to change with Dart in command? I think the players are going to say the right thing, but I think they're going to have one eye open on the on, or both eyes open on this because, you know, look, a rookie quarterback, this isn't preseason anymore. Jackson Dart, for as good as he looked in preseason, and don't get me wrong, the kid's got a very bright future in the NFL.
But think about it. He was the quarterback to Um, named to the at the start of the season, which means he really didn't see a whole lot of snaps with the first team off that.

In preseason, he basically worked against Backups, you know, second team defenders, third team defenders, and there was no game planning.
So I think there's going to be some maybe questions about, you know, how ready is he really?
Now the players get to see him in practice. But again, the starter gets the bulk of the reps.
So what criteria are they using to say that this kid is ready? That's the big question. It's not like he can take a test and if he gets 80% or higher, he's deemed ready. It's a bunch of factors that goes into it. As far as how the offense is going to change, I think they're going to take a little bit more advantage of Dart's mobility, which is a little better than Russell Wilson's is at this point in Russell's career.
And they're going to just try and open that offense up a little bit more. I wouldn't be surprised if you see some things that are going to remind you of Dable's days up in Buffalo when he had Josh Allen. Hmm. Oh, well, well, listen, that'd be music to a lot of Giants fans' ears, Patricia, if they got anything close to that. When you think about these the the losses that the Giants have taken.
An ugly one against Washington to start the season. Sunday night was ugly. Losing in a shootout against Dallas. Is there a bright spot? Is there anything a Giants fan can see or gleam as any type of positive so far this season?
I think you gotta like what Cam Scatterboo brings to the game. I mean, he's got a personality that I think everybody saw on display Sunday night. Hard runner, very hard to bring down. Almost reminds me somewhat of a young Brandon Jacobs. Brandon Jacobs had a personality and he was this big guy who was tough to bring down.
Now, obviously, Cam Scatterbu was not as big or as tall as Brandon Jacobs is, but he's definitely been a bright spot because, look, the Giants' running game has kind of been flatlined since Saquon Barkley left. And I think that that unit has been searching for an identity. And, you know, unfortunately, with Tyrone Tracy looking to miss, you know, two to four weeks with that shoulder injury that he suffered, this is going to be a good opportunity, I think, for Cam Scataboo to help bring pride back.
Well, that's not the right word. They've always had Pride, but to help kind of put the Giants running game back on the mat because it's kind of been an afterthought, if you think about it, in this offense. Yeah, well, I mean, have the Giant I mean, outside of T.E. Barber and Brandon Jacobs, am I missing anything? Has this not been.
The running game period has been kinda quiet for for years now. Yeah, it has. I mean, you know, Saquon kind of, you know, had some success here, but. Look at the offensive line. I mean, look at what Saquon's doing out in Philadelphia with a better offensive line.
So that's certainly been a part of the problem. But yeah, the Giants running gay, look. They play in the northeast, and as it gets colder, what do you think they're going to want to do? They're going to want to pound the ball, they're going to want to wear out the opposing defense and then hit them with, you know. play action or some of these quick throws and whatnot and they haven't really been able to do that.
So, you know, the hope is this running game now finds a personality, now finds a stronger heartbeat, if you will. And you know, you s suddenly you'll have a more balanced offense.
Well, Patricia, moving forward for the rest of the season, now that we know that Jackson Dart is is going to take over, what is the rest of this year going to look like? Is this just an evaluation of him? Is do you think he's going to get yo-yoed? Is he going to be entrenched? What are your thoughts here?
I think they would like for him to finish out the season and would like to see him get better and better each week. Whether that happens. There's other factors. I mean, will the offensive line hold up? That's the big question mark.
I think if you ask any Giant fan, any Giant reporter, that's question, you know. One of the top questions that we have. The defense, you know, let's not forget about the defense either. The defense hasn't been horrible, but you know, there's been some questions about the play calling, the scheme. Is it the right fit for these players?
So that's something to keep an eye on as well. But for Jackson Dart, I think ideally they would like to see him take. Steps forward every week and be better in week 18 than he was in week one, week two, week three. Whether that happens, you know, look, football is a team sport, you know, and if Jackson Dart has his receivers dropping passes or his offensive line is not giving him protection, you know, is it really going to be fair to say at the end of the year that his working campaign was a success or a failure?
Well, we're gonna we're gonna find out right out of the gate here This Sunday, Jackson Dart making his first NFL career start against the Los Angeles Chargers. You know, Herbert, one of the best quarterbacks in the game, is going to be slinging that ball all over the place. Let's see if Jackson Dart Can go out there and keep up in game number one.
