Giants' Dart Shines, But Offseason Upgrades Needed
•
The New York Giants concluded a challenging season with a 4-13 record, but managed to win their last two games. The team underwent a significant change midseason, dismissing head coach Brian Daboll and promoting rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who led the team in twelve games. Dart had an impressive rookie year, throwing for over two thousand yards and twenty-four touchdowns, while also ranking third among quarterbacks in rushing yards. The running back duo of Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Junior contributed significantly, with Skattebo excelling early and Tracy Junior taking over after Skattebos injury.
Despite high expectations, the team faced numerous setbacks, including injuries to star wide receiver Malik Nabers, who tore his ACL early in the season. The secondary and linebackers struggled, with safeties Tyler Nubin and Jevon Holland underperforming and the linebackers failing to contain the run defense.
On a positive note, the offensive line, anchored by Andrew Thomas, had an outstanding season, and edge rushers Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter made a significant impact late in the season. However, the interior line, including Dexter Lawrence, did not meet expectations. Special teams were a major issue, with a revolving door at kicker and poor punting, but returner Deonte Banks showed promise.
As the team looks ahead to the offseason, Dart provides a solid foundation, but the Giants will need to address several areas to improve their chances of making the playoffs.
