A large contingent of reporters with cameras and microphones gathered on the back patio at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center for Brian Daboll's usual Wednesday press conference before practice. But this wasn't a typical media session to kick off a game week.
The head coach confirmed that rookie Jaxson Dart, the 25th overall pick, will start Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium (1 p.m. ET kickoff).
Russell Wilson had started the first three games for the Giants while Jameis Winston served as the emergency third quarterback. Both veterans signed with the Giants this offseason.
The change comes as the Giants search for their first win of the season. The Chargers, meanwhile, enter the matchup with an unbeaten 3-0 record.
Here is everything you need to know from Daboll's presser:
📰 Wilson, who made his 200th, 201st and 202nd career start this season, will serve as the backup on Sunday.
📰 Kicker Graham Gano will not be ready this week after injuring his hamstring in final warmups prior to Sunday Night Football.
📰 Kicker Younghoe Koo, who signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, will compete with Jude McAtamney, who is an international exemption on the practice squad.
📰 The Giants also signed outside linebacker Tomon Fox back to the practice squad. Fox was waived on Monday, two days after the Giants signed him to the active roster from the practice squad. Fox played 14 snaps on defense and 19 on special teams against the Chiefs. He has appeared in 29 regular-season games (one start) across four seasons with the Giants.
📰 In addition to Gano, wide receiver Malik Nabers, tight end Theo Johnson, defensive lineman Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr. and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will not practice today. The first injury report of the week was released later in the afternoon.
Did Not Participate in Practice:
- K Graham Gano (Groin)
- TE Theo Johnson (Toe)
- WR Malik Nabers (Shoulder)
- DL Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr. (Foot)
- RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (Shoulder)
Limited:
- LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (Calf)
- DL Chauncey Golston (Ankle)
- CB Art Green (Hip)
- LB Darius Muasau (Concussion)
- C John Michael Schmitz (Neck)
- WR Darius Slayton (Calf)
- OT Andrew Thomas (Foot)
📰 Daboll said the quarterback change was his decision to make. The head coach then met privately with both Wilson and Dart. "Russ was nothing but a pro, which I would expect him to be."
📰 Dart has the "right makeup and athleticism" to be a starter. No rookie is ever "just ready" to play, but Dart has done enough to show that he can go out there and compete. "I expect him to prepare, I expect him to go out here and get better each time he plays. It's not always going to be perfect."
📰 Previous to the change, Dart had still been taking every rep of the call sheet after practice. "There's a group that stays out here, and he goes through the entire practice, if you will. … He's got to go through the play, visualize it, see it, so that's part of the plan that we've used with him since we started playing in the regular season."
📰 Daboll thinks it will be "a work in progress relative to him playing in his first game" against the Chargers, who rank fourth in scoring defense and third in opponent passer rating.
📰 There will be things that Dart hasn't seen. The staff will help him the best they can relative to the scheme, but it's going to take everybody. "It's going to take the offensive line, the defense, the kicking game, and he just needs to go out there and do his job. Just make good decisions, throw the ball where he needs to throw it, make loose plays if he needs to make loose plays, take care of it. He doesn't have to do any more than that. There will be a lot of things to learn from. I've done this once before. It's not perfect, but I know he's doing everything he can do to get ready to play this game and that's all you can ask for."
📰 Daboll gave his scouting report on the upcoming matchup:
"Coach (Jim) Harbaugh has done a great job the past two years here. He also did a great job at San Francisco, Stanford, Michigan. I think the trademark from his teams is overall toughness. They execute well and they do a really good job. I think the last year he played in the league was my first year in the league, so pretty outdated there.
"Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator, has done it for a long time. Been in numerous spots and I'd say the trademark for his offense is a tough team, too. They use a lot of personnel groupings, probably more than anybody in the league. They'll have big 300-pounders as fullbacks. They also do a lot of four-receiver sets, which they really haven't done in the past. Early in the game, they like to throw the football quite a bit and they're pretty productive at it. (Justin) Herbert, the quarterback, exceptional young quarterback, athletic, gifted throwing the football, productive, can scramble, can make plays with his feet. Then he has three receivers that are all a little bit different, but he throws it to them about 70% of the time. Keenan Allen, seems like he never ages, has a knack of getting open, a tough cover. A lot of respect for what he's done for a long time. (Wide receiver Quentin Johnston) Q is fast, he's big, he's strong, he can stretch a vertical. (Wide receiver Ladd) McConkey is a really good football player, play in any spot, a go-to guy in certain situations, but he's a tough cover. (Running back) Omarion (Hampton) from North Carolina, a big back, strong, fast, breaks tackles. Prayers out to (running back) Najee (Harris), he's someone I had at Alabama, for that injury. That's a tough injury. I'd say (Joe) Alt is their go-to (offensive) lineman. If they want to run the ball behind somebody, it's certainly going to be him. He's done a really good job.
"(Defensive coordinator) Jesse Minter with the defense, he was with Coach Harbaugh at Michigan, has done a nice job there. They've got one of the best players on the defensive side of the ball, (safety) Derwin James. He can play down, he can play back, he's long, rangy, athletic, tough. I remember preparing for him back in '17 when I was at Alabama. We were one, I think they were three, or vice versa. Watching this guy in college and then as he's moved on in the pros, he's an exceptional, exceptional player. They've got two really good kickers and a really good specialist who can take it the distance, circle up the field and create yards in that regard. It's a well-balanced team. They're 3-0. They've won three division games, two by one-score games. Playing good football and it's certainly a tough challenge, them coming over here to play."
