TRANSITION: Giants’ Jaxson Dart Faces Early Struggles—Why Fans Should WAIT Before Judging

Some New York Giants fans have started to worry about Jaxson Dart’s rocky summer, but patience proves crucial as he adjusts to John Harbaugh and Matt Nagy's revamped offense--and for proof of that, Patricia Traina goes back in team history to a similar time experienced by another quarterback.

Plus, Odell Beckham Jr. gets a chance with the first-team offense amidst roster uncertainty, raising questions about his role and future in a crowded receiver group. Also, Patricia Traina delivers key insights from training camp, spotlighting Dart’s need for live game reps, the importance of discipline in cutting costly penalties, and how hard counts are shaping both sides of the ball.
