East Rutherford, NJ – Russell Wilson coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Russell Wilson will continue the New York Giants’ quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys.
Daboll retained the job after a 21-6 loss to the Washington Commander on Sunday, when the Giants failed to hit a touchdown. Dabor said in a video conference with reporters on Monday that despite rookie Jaxson Dart waiting on the wings, he never made a serious decision.
“No,” Dabor said. “Luss will be the starter.”
Wilson had 17 passes for 168 yards in 37, with no touchdowns or season opening loss. Under pressure, he was especially ineffective, completing only 26 yards in 12 passes, with two sacks and two scrambles. New York managed only 231 yards of total offense, stalling twice in the red zone.

Still, it was just a game, with the Giants (0-1) signing Wilson, 35, an offseason starter. At least this season begins.
Although Daboll showed no sign of his approach.
“After a game, it was an emotional game, a tough game, not particularly good, and I would collectively say that in any position or schematic change, I would like to watch the tape with a clear head.
“Again, like I said [Sunday]that game didn't fall on Russell Wilson. We have to do a better job collectively – coach, plan. But Russ will be the starter. ”
DART served as Wilson's substitute in Sunday's game. The giant even prepared a special package. They didn't use it in the game.
Veteran Jameis Winston is the emergency third quarterback.
DART was selected by the Giants in the first round of this year's draft, and throughout the summer, most second-tier representatives won most second-tier representatives and were impressed in the preseason, completing 372 yards and three touchdowns in 32 passes in 47 passes, with zero interceptions, and also rushing to make touchdowns. He was considered their future quarterback after the Giants returned to the first round for him.
Even if it was an ugly opener against Wilson and the offense, the future is not. Daboll saw enough to stick to the plan.
“I will say [Wilson] Dabor said a good decision was made. Again, we missed a one-on-one showdown again, sometimes throwing and sometimes controversial. This is a collective. Not only Ras. This is the whole attack, everyone. ”
But that's what happened when Wilson and Winston came to New York. They know the Giants may choose quarterbacks in this year's draft. Inevitably, this will start toward that player’s clock, rather than entering the field later.
Dart's strong summer and preseason only accelerated the speech about him becoming a starter. Wilson said after his defeat on Sunday he had no additional pressure on the situation. That wasn't his way of thinking.
“No, I'm just focusing on what we can control. I think we competed for the butt [Sunday],” Wilson said. “It was a physics game. I thought we left it all on the field. Our bodies are all given to us. In that game, you stood high. Fight for it and try to find a way to win. Like I said, they prevented us from entering the red zone. I think that's the name of this game. I think we have eight or nine properties; two of them are in the red zone. We are not using this capital, so that's what we are going to do. ”
Daboll and the Giants will have to balance the urge to see the young quarterback with the patient and experienced quarterback waiting patiently, and quarterback is not what he once did. Wilson is the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback and Super Bowl champion for the fourth team in five years.
Still, his football is better than Sunday. At least that's what the Giants believe, even if they prepare for darts every week.
“I have a lot of confidence in Russ, and we can do everything we can do every week to develop Jaxson,” Daboll said.[Dart] Spend a lot of time on the building, and a lot of time after practice must go through his experience and be ready to get started.
“That’s what we’re going to continue to do.”
