Overview
- In late May 2026, Dart and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan reviewed game tape to identify when a scramble is worth the risk and when to slide or throw the ball away.
- Dart said his competitiveness will not change but that he plans to make 'mature decisions' about taking hits so he can stay on the field.
- Coaches including head coach John Harbaugh, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and Greg Roman are shifting the offense toward more run concepts and simpler, high-percentage plays to reduce pressure on Dart.
- Dart reported arriving to offseason work leaner and more mobile, and his 2025 rookie season — 2,272 passing yards, 15 TDs and 487 rushing yards with nine rushing TDs — plus concussion checks last year drive the urgency to protect him.
- The plan now will be tested in OTAs and minicamp as the Giants assess whether coaching, improved pass protection and Dart's on-field decisions produce a durable, second-year step forward.
