Giants’ Jaxson Dart scoffs at Commanders’ ‘Hard Knocks’ scouting report on him
NY Post
So, the most recent team to beat the Giants pointed out vulnerabilities in Jaxson Dart in the days leading up to the game?
Been there, done that.
“I mean, [Georgia coach] Kirby Smart said the exact same thing every time he played against me, so did [former Alabama coach] Nick Saban, so did every coach that I played in college,’’ Dart, formerly of Ole Miss, said Wednesday after practice. “This is nothing new.
“This isn’t like a new thing that’s been brought up in my career.’’
Well, this is the first time around all this for Dart since entering the NFL and coming to the Giants. The comments about him in the SEC are long gone by now, and a slew of new material is building as he navigates his way through this increasingly difficult first season.
The Commanders, prior to their 29-21 victory over the Giants, were all over Dart’s playing style, which in and of itself is not noteworthy. Detailed breakdowns of a player’s strengths, weaknesses and tendencies are all a part of weekly preparation. With Dart, though, so much seems just a bit different. As if he is being scrutinized with a wider lens than normal.
