Overview

• Dart will make his first NFL start Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the 3-0 Chargers after New York’s 0-3 opening stretch.
• Coaches plan more zone-read and RPO elements with increased tempo, having consulted Ole Miss staff to carry over concepts Dart executed well in college, per ESPN.
• Reports say several Giants players, including captains, quickly voiced support for Dart, though others were frustrated by how the switch was communicated and by Jameis Winston not getting a shot.
• Multiple outlets report the benching was entirely Daboll’s call, with some internal objections noted, and his job security is viewed as tied to how the rookie-led offense performs.
• Wilson remains the No. 2 quarterback, with Russini reporting no intention right now to trade him, even as NFL.com notes league expectations he could be a deadline candidate.
