Wan\u2019Dale Robinson is an established receiver now in the NFL, entering his fourth season with the Giants.<\/p>\n
Working with the team\u2019s overhauled quarterbacks room this preseason has given Robinson optimism that the Giants offense can quickly improve a low-octane unit that ranked 30th in yards per game and 31st in scoring in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel confident. I think we worked really hard this summer, doing a lot of different things and getting a lot of people involved and moving a lot of different places,\u201d Robinson said after practice Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. \u201cI think seeing it out there in these preseason games, you kind of saw, even if it wasn\u2019t the starters, there was the standard that was set throughout camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants averaged 35.7 points per game in their three preseason wins, even if imported starter Russell Wilson attempted only 14 passes (with 10 completions) in two appearances before sitting out Thursday\u2019s 42-10 win over New England<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJust his attention to deal with everything,\u201d Robinson said when asked what he\u2019s learned most about Wilson during training camp. \u201cWhenever it comes to routes, he wants to know that you\u2019re gonna be in certain spots and he\u2019s gonna let you know exactly what he needs out of you, which is definitely something I\u2019ve felt like we needed as a whole team.<\/p>\n Russell Wilson (3), Darius Slayton (18), Kayvon Thibodeaux (5) and Wan\u2019Dale Robinson (17) are pictured at the Giants\u2019 Aug. 24 practice. Bill Kostroun for the NY Post<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m always trying to make sure I\u2019m doing the right thing, running to the ball, but it\u2019s just like I said, the attention to detail, just the \u2018want to be great\u2019 is exactly what you get out of him.\u201d<\/p>\n The 10-time Pro Bowler will start Week 1 against the Commanders on Sept. 7 and beyond, but if the 36-year-old Wilson falters, the Giants have impressive first-round pick Jaxson Dart<\/a> and veteran signal caller Jameis Winston behind him<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dart, the 25th pick in the draft, completed 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions \u2014 plus a rushing score \u2014 in the preseason.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got some moxie to him. I\u2019m just really excited to watch him go out there and play,\u201d said Robinson, who registered a career-high 93 receptions last season. \u201cIt looked like he was all in command and knew exactly where he needed to go with the ball.<\/p>\n \u201cA couple of receivers we were talking to were like, this is going to be a pretty good quarterback once he knows exactly all the checks and everything going on. It\u2019s going to be really exciting for him.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGo behind the scenes with Big Blue\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for Inside the Giants by Paul Schwartz, a weekly Sports+ exclusive.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Giants coach Brian Daboll still hasn\u2019t declared whether Dart or Winston will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Wilson for Week 1, saying only \u201cwe\u2019ll see\u201d and referring to the rookie as \u201ca backup quarterback\u201d before the start of Sunday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n \u201cRuss had a lot of reps, by far and away, the most reps of practice,\u201d Daboll said of camp. \u201cYou script practice for things you want to see, for all the quarterbacks, but for your team most importantly. I think [offensive coordinator] Mike [Kafka] did a really good job with that.\u201d<\/p>\n Robinson \u2014 part of a returning receiving corps also featuring Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton \u2014 liked the feeling of walking off the field following productive showings by the offense.<\/p>\n Russell Wilson makes a throw during the Giants\u2019 preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 16. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post<\/p>\n \u201cIt won\u2019t take some getting used to, we\u2019ll be happy for it, but we came in the locker room after each game and were like, this is what we want,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cWe want to come in here happy, scoring 30 points, with the wins. \u2026 I think [that\u2019s possible]. At the end of the day, we still gotta go out there and prove it, and go out there and put points on the board.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we\u2019re definitely excited to get going, just trying to take each day one at a time and continue to get better. Then whenever game week comes and Sunday comes, we\u2019ll be ready to kick off and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wan\u2019Dale Robinson is an established receiver now in the NFL, entering his fourth season with the Giants.
