The OTAs and mandatory minicamp have wrapped up for the New York Giants, and within the organization there’s no doubt that Jaxson Dart has a lot of talent. However, he’s not ready to be the team’s immediate starter and will have to wait behind Russell Wilson-at least for the first year.
QB Jaxson Dart clutches wild win over Shedeur Sanders and Ashton Jeanty in skill challenge
Let’s not forget that the New York Giants used the third overall pick to draft Penn State’s spectacular defender, Abdul Carter. Then, in a surprising move at the end of the first round, they traded up and selected Jaxson Dart with the 24th overall pick, hoping he would become the future of the franchise in the Big Apple.
Despite the excitement and buzz surrounding Dart-who is seen as the man to potentially change the course of the franchise-his first practices have been inconsistent. He’ll need to progress step by step, but at some point this season, head coach Brian Daboll may have to roll the dice with Dart.
Jaxson Dart finishes Giants minicamp
On June 5, at the end of OTAs, Jaxson Dart completed just 5 of 9 passes and threw two interceptions. The criticism came quickly. However, during the minicamp that wrapped up this Tuesday, he finished strong by throwing two touchdown passes in 7-on-7 drills.
After practice, Jaxson Dart spoke to the media. He appeared very mature and acknowledged that he has to take things slowly. He also mentioned the importance of having someone like Russell Wilson ahead of him-a player with all the experience in the world, including a Super Bowl ring.
“They’ve had this blueprint and they’ve done it with different quarterbacks that have succeeded at the highest level. I trust them. For me, I’m just trying to be the most coachable player I can. I want to play well in the offense and operate it at the highest level… I’m not looking for results immediately. I’m a process-driven person, so I’m taking it day-by-day, rep-by-rep,” Dart said.
According to Giants insider Jordan Raanan, it was revealed yesterday that when the official training camp kicks off in just over a month, Jaxson Dart will enter as the team’s QB2-behind Russell Wilson, but ahead of Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito.

The death of Mark Townsend at Hillsborough: What we learned from the inquest
On September 28 last year, West Bromwich Albion fan Mark Townsend died after suffering a cardiac arrest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.Immediately, concerns were raised about the quality of care he received in the aftermath of the incident. “I want the truth to be out,” Mark’s brother, Steve Townsend, told The Athletic last month, ahead of a two-week inquest into the circumstances surrounding the 57-year-old’s death.AdvertisementAfter hearing seven days of evidence, Senior Coroner for South Yorkshire Tanyka Rawden concluded that, though Mark’s cardiac arrest was on the balance of probabilities “unsurvivable”, a lack of ventilation and drugs for over 15 minutes following his collapse was “contributory” to his death.Rawden was critical of the decision to involve both private contractor Lambda Medical and Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) in providing Mark’s care.She described “confusion” between the two agencies, while acknowledging that this “did not […]

Can Premier League’s silent decision-makers learn from Bundesliga sporting directors?
The Premier League creates noise. It provokes comment, analysis, quotes and opinions from fans, journalists, coaches and sometimes even club owners.It’s strange, then, that the quietest community within English football consists of its decision-makers — the sporting directors and transfer gurus, people whose names are well-known but whose voices are less so.AdvertisementMore curious still, that this should be the case during the game’s capitalist age. In the summer transfer window that just closed, Premier League clubs spent a combined £3.11billion ($4.bn) on new players. The market has become a source of unending fascination. And yet those who determine its direction, who are in charge of transfer strategy, rarely speak about the teams they build or defend the sporting departments they run.When a signing fails, or a club finds themselves a midfielder short in November, it is the manager or head […]

Shohei Ohtani needs a ‘recalibration’ for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS
There is no overstating Shohei Ohtani’s importance to the Los Angeles Dodgers. So it was notable that they reached the National League Championship Series despite getting little offensively from the soon-to-be four-time NL MVP.Ohtani was the focus of every plan of attack for the Philadelphia Phillies, who deployed one left-handed pitcher after another in the National League Division Series. Ohtani had one hit and struck out nine times in 18 at-bats, with 16 of his 20 plate appearances coming against lefties.AdvertisementThe Dodgers, who won the series 3 games to 1, probably won’t face as many lefties in the NLCS, but manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani must adjust.“We’re not gonna win the World Series with that sort of performance,” Roberts said Saturday.The Phillies jammed Ohtani on the inner part of the plate with fastballs, making it impossible for him to extend […]
Zeev Buium scores first NHL goal, but Wild fall short: Takeaways vs. Blue Jackets
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild’s 25th opener at Grand Casino Arena did not feel like most of the 24 before.The Wild, usually automatic in their first home game of the season, rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie, but then watched as Columbus’ version of “Kirill” thrilled the Blue Jackets to a 7-4 victory.AdvertisementAfter the Wild honored the original coaching staff and general manager before the game, Kirill Marchenko scored two of his three goals in the second period and the third early in the final period as the Wild fell to an 18-3-4 record at home openers in St. Paul.The Wild were unbeaten in regulation in their previous 11 meetings with the Blue Jackets (9-0-2).The Kirill Kaprizov-Marco Rossi-Matt Boldy line buzzed at times, but they got too loose defensively on Marchenko’s second goal with 1:12 left in the […]
