Coach Brian Daboll On Jaxson Dart’s Development | New York Giants

ryan is this camp going to be any different than what you’ve been doing as far as teaching or are you going to shift the focus any no it’ll look very similar for y’all We have more meeting time We had an extra walk through We have meetings after practice Uh some of the routine is a little bit different but as far as the practice field the rules are are still the rules How has Evan looked so far just through offensing that pass but just how has he looked so far this transition in your opinion yeah he’s done a nice job He’s picked up things well inside Um you know training camp will be a you know important time of the year for for him as for all the offensive linemen We’ve only seen him on the left side What was the thought process just is he familiar there or have you moved him around we’re not here Yeah I mean we’ll we’ll figure all that out by the time uh you know training camp and preseason game starts Dave can you can you establish a foundation in this mini camp is it is it an opportunity to do that for the upcoming year well you’re trying to establish learning what to do um and playing fast and practicing the right way staying off the ground staying away from the quarterback doing the things you need to do to get work done and and get things accomplished without pads on So I think all the guys have put a lot of time and effort and energy into learning some of the system Some of the systems new some of the things we’re doing are a little bit different Plus you have the young guys that you drafted and then the free agents that are new players that are working together The communication process is is very important playing with different players Um being able to make calls give a call get a call being on the same page being locked in in that regard So very important time of year for us Uh times in terms of laying that that foundation of knowing what to do and then once training camp hits you know the train’s going pretty quickly There’s not a lot of time for pulling back getting another rep Um you know we’re trying to figure out you know what side a person’s playing on or who they’re playing with Those are those are the things for training camp will get answered Will any of the guys who have been who were held out of OTAAS during the team portion will any of them do anything this week like the league decks anything like that yeah I’d say they’re all at different spots like I said last time and you know everybody’s here and um at different stages of what we’re asking them to do Will will anything that you’ve seen in all the OTAAS and the mini camp today um after you assess that what you liked maybe what you didn’t like as much will will any of that affect any of your plan in training camp like you know what we need to work more on this we don’t have to work you know what I’m saying you have a training camp plan set I’m sure but will anything that you’ve seen in the spring change that a little bit yeah it’s a good question Paul so we’ve changed things throughout the OTAAS based on you know really need to get more out of this day or practice this situation We’ll do that every day after a training camp practice of hey let’s make sure we get back to that Maybe we’re going to get back to a practice four Let’s get back to it a little bit quicker There’s always conversations that that take place and we’ll do what we think is best Brian uh how’s Bobby doing and I know he had that back injury last year Is his not practicing anything to do with that and is there anything to worry about long term yeah I’d say I’d say with uh with all the injuries the guys are working hard to get back Anything to worry about long term no not long term Ryan have you determined when you’re going to start yeah we’re worked we’ve worked through you know Ly and I are still going through all the um you know logistics with things We’re close but you know it requires a lot of meetings with a lot of different people in the organization whether it’s the strength coach the nutritionist the training staff you know we’re still working through but we’re we’re really close Veterans talked about how there’s a lot that you have to throw at a rookie quarterback Um how would you describe how Jackson has handled everything this spring and how he’s done yeah he’s done excellent Um he’s picking up information He’s you know it’s really good to have Russ and Jamus and even Tommy because Tommy’s been in this system for for a few years here and uh kind of the head statesman in terms of that and all the adjustments that that take place or the calls Uh he’s fit right in with those guys He’s smart Uh he’s aggressive with the football which I like Uh and then you know the true test will be once once we start and there’s live hitting and preseason games and things like that But he’s progressed you know since he’s been here to where he’s not He’s made he’s made good improvement When it comes to to young quarterbacks and quarterbacks Brian do you prefer to to kind of give them everything at once and see what sticks or do you just a little bit at a time kind of what’s your your overall game plan yeah it’s a good question I’ I’d say philosophy in general is to throw a lot at that all these guys and then you pull it back and see what kind of sticks and then you you break it down a little bit and and then you throw it all at them again and then by the third time they hear it they’re usually a lot more comfortable with the information Uh again there’s a lot of information for the quarterbacks uh I’d say in any system but I think throwing it at them bringing it back breaking it down in smaller parts and then throwing it back at them or kind of whole part whole philosophy I learned that from coach Sabin Do you remember any any specific situation throughout your your coaching career where you took that approach and when you went to go see what stuck a specific player was like well he kind of took on a little bit more than I expected him to Turn about absorbing the information Not not not in not a specific situation I think they’re all a little bit different Um you know our young receivers have done a good job You know coach receivers for a long time and we got you know some undrafted free agents that have done a really nice job since they’ve been here of absorbing it and then being able to play fast So you get you know some type of valuation of their skill set Receivers a little bit easier at this time of year based on how we do things without the pads on They’re all they’re all a little bit different Veterans included that come in free agents but they usually have something to you know relate it back to that they did it another system or someone I knew that called it this way and then you try to um you know try to put the best product you can Brian Jame is you know James got a big personality tends to keep things loose for a lot of people Is that is that an important job to kind of keep things loose and fun uh everybody’s different you know most important thing is knowing what to do and then going out there and being able to do it But he’s uh certainly a fun guy to be around um in the meetings outside But he he takes his craft seriously Obviously a high pick the highest pick you could have and been around the block a little bit a couple different places He’s been a good addition There’s so much talk about the mental part for a rookie quarterback Uh but he comes on the field Do you have you break him down and build him up or like do you say this is how he does it work with it like just you know what I mean like fundamentals or just how you get through a play like how do you approach that with working rookie quarterback yeah Well um so he falls back naturally on his fundamentals of how he throws the football Are there little tweaks you can make sure There there little tweaks but then when you add all the information that goes along with it you know sometimes it’s overload which is fine You know it happens to all young players but you you coach them technique-wise and individual drills and coach them throughout the practice of movement in the pocket or taking too much or turning it loose when you can turn it loose or avoiding a sack But there’s you know you understand that there’s going to be a lot of um things to teach off of for these young guys but he’s he’s done a great job with you can give him a lot He can he can absorb a lot and then he knows kind of what to weed out and what to really focus on the next day So he’s he’s been good We’ve seen him primarily the last couple times we’ve been here working with the second team offense Is that so is that because of the way he’s absorbed information or is that kind of where you want him to settle and and get most of his snaps obviously not all Yeah I’d say he’s worked with the second team the first team and the third team Dave you said back on draft you know you you’ll have a plan for Jackson and then there will be times where he won’t know what that plan is and you’ll put him in spots Have you done much of that in the OTAAS but is that is that more of a training camp thing and why is that important for you to see how he handles some curve balls well it’s good to get him in with the with the ones You know there’s usually a level of anxiety at times for young players when they get thrown into the mix Um it’s not exactly planned in terms of he’s getting rep three Sometimes they’ll just say get in there and then he’s he’s calling the play in front of veterans that have done it at a high level I think that’s important Um or you know put them with the threes for a while where he’s got to kind of instruct some other guys that are asking questions about things that maybe Welleell already knows the answer to that are asking him in the huddle and just try to get him as many different situations as you can Uh so when when it happens because inevitably it’ll happen at some point that he’s went through it at least one or two times Are all the all the players in the building today they are Do you view Andrew Thomas as irreplaceable on your line i view him as a really good player for us and he’s doing a good job of rehabbing and um you know getting close to getting back out here Is he on track for uh the start of spring uh summer camp yeah he’s rehabbing He’s doing everything he can do to get better So we’ll see when that time comes
