Giants coach Brian Daboll insists Russell Wilson is the team\u2019s starting quarterback. It makes sense with the Giants opening the season with the Commanders, Cowboys, Chiefs and Chargers.<\/p>\n
But circle Oct. 5 on the calendar.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Dart could take over as the starter.<\/p>\n
He showed again Thursday night that the lights aren\u2019t too bright, completing 6 of 12 passes for 81 yards and a 7-yard touchdown to tight end Greg Dulcich. Giants receivers dropped five passes, including two by Beaux Collins and two by Jalin Hyatt.<\/p>\n
Dart played four series but didn\u2019t get through the fourth after taking a hard hit following a 23-yard run. On fourth-and-4, Dart scrambled for 23 yards but instead of sliding, he took a hit from Jack Gibbens. Jameis Winston replaced Dart and threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Hyatt on the next play.<\/p>\n
That was Dart\u2019s only mistake.<\/p>\n
He needed a concussion check and did not return, even though he was cleared to come back.<\/p>\n
The first-round pick finished the preseason 32-of-47 for 372 yards and three touchdowns in three games.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe played well,\u201d Daboll said on the Prime broadcast. \u201cI\u2019d like him to slide on that long run. He got the wind knocked out of him there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giants coach Brian Daboll insists Russell Wilson is the team\u2019s starting quarterback.
