"Dart isn't listening to the calls for him to start. "I don't pay attention to that stuff," the rookie said. "I think it's just of the nature of the sport. Any time that you don't win people talk and things like that happen. It's completely different if you win. You have to take all that with a grain of salt and my job is to control what I can control and be the best teammate I can be. Do my job in practice in preparing our guys.""
"Dart, who didn't play in the opener despite serving as the No. 2 quarterback, is working primarily as the team's scout team QB at practice. This week, he pretended to be Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Last week, it was Washington's Jayden Daniels."
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is serving as Russell Wilson's backup for the New York Giants and primarily operates as the scout-team quarterback in practice. He did not play in the season opener despite being the No. 2 and has been emulating opposing starters, including Dak Prescott and Jayden Daniels, during team work. Dart prepares for possible game action by running walk-throughs before and after practice and bringing teammates, including third-string Jameis Winston, to replicate starter plays. He is not paying attention to public calls to start and is concentrating on controlling what he can and being a supportive teammate. The Giants face the Cowboys with left tackle Andrew Thomas listed as doubtful.
