With Jaxson Dart out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Jameis Winston is set to start for the New York Giants against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Coach John Harbaugh says the team will adjust its game plan to Winston’s strengths.
Winston went 11 of 27 for 111 yards and an interception while relieving Dart on Monday. Safety Jevon Holland said the team voted Winston captain and expressed confidence in him.
Harbaugh said a new offense is unnecessary: plays suited to Winston are already in the system, while Dart’s designed runs and scrambling are not part of Winston’s game. The author argues against trading draft picks for a short-term quarterback, saying the Giants are still building around Dart.
