SPEAKER_3 (1:09)

After watching the film, are you still planning to stick with Daniel Jones this week as a starter?

Pat Leonard (1:15)

I am.

SPEAKER_3 (1:16)

What goes into that decision? And what did the film show when you rewatched that game?

Brian Daboll (1:22)

Yeah, well, I think he gives us the best chance. Number one, I thought, you know, there were a lot of plays that he did exactly what he needed to do. And then, look, there were some plays where it wasn't just on Daniel. It was a collection of things. It wasn't just one person, a protection or a route. It was a collective deal. And, you know, we'll sit here. We'll watch the tape and we'll do everything we can do to be better this week.

SPEAKER_3 (1:46)

What have the, just one more to follow up, the conversations with him been like today and last night when you kind of make that decision to create a spark?

Brian Daboll (1:56)

Yeah, I was very transparent. It was 11 minutes left. We were down 28 to 3 We didn't have a lot of stuff going. So we're going to go with Drew, put a spark, and try to put a spark into the offense a little bit.

And that was it. So we just met for a while today, had a good meeting like we normally do. We'll meet here after this press conference, go through all the tape, and get ready for Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_3 (2:21)

Paul Schwartz.

Paul Schwartz (2:23)

Hey, Brian. This is your first year with the Giants calling the plays, obviously many other times. Is there anything you have to look at now, or you do look at now as the play caller, that can help Daniel and help this offense? In other years, you were the head coach, very involved. Now you're the play caller.

Brian Daboll (2:43)

Yeah, I think, look, we meet like, I think this was similar to the question from last week. We meet all the time, and we try to put together a really good plan, as good as we can, and then, you know, ultimately go out there and operate and execute it and make adjustments as we go. You know, that won't change. We'll continue to do that. Obviously, the results aren't what we want them to be, but we're working hard to fix the things we need to fix to get different results.

Paul Schwartz (3:10)

Is this as, I don't know, Steinbeet or whatever? I mean, the points just aren't there. You know what I mean? And it seems to be going downward with the yards and the points and the explosive. Is this at a level that is very difficult for you to even accept?

Brian Daboll (3:27)

Well, yeah, you never accept where we're at, whether you're on top or obviously where we're at right now, which is not good enough, I've clearly stated that. We'll do everything we can do to improve the things we need to improve on to correct some of those issues that we're having and ultimately score points. That's the job. And not getting that done. Again, two of the big things we need to keep working on to correct to help those things are explosives and third down and going back and evaluating those things. We're just off a little bit here.

Paul Schwartz (4:03)

One more real quick. You staying with Josh as the left tackle?

Brian Daboll (4:06)

Yeah, we'll have that discussion here. We've watched the tape. We're not there yet. I thought that early on, there was a couple of plays in there, one off of a jam and another one. That could have been better. I think he settled in. It was his first time playing, so there's some things he did better as the game went on and made some improvements. And we'll see where we're at here.
