In a move that has been speculated about for months, the New York Giants have officially named Brian Daboll as the play caller for the 2024 season. It’s a decision that has been met with both excitement and skepticism among fans and analysts alike.
Daboll himself confirmed the news during a press conference on Tuesday, stating, “Yeah, I’m doing it.” However, he remained tight-lipped about the specifics of why he was given the play-calling duties. The former Bills offensive coordinator has a proven track record of success, having overseen a top-five offense in Buffalo during his last two seasons with the team.
It’s a stark contrast to the Giants’ offensive woes in recent years, particularly under former coordinator Mike Kafka. Despite Kafka’s efforts, the Giants finished near the bottom of the league in both yards and points in 2023. With Daboll now at the helm, there is hope that the offense will see a significant improvement.
The decision to hand over play-calling duties to Daboll is a bold one, but it’s a move that has been met with optimism within the Giants organization. Quarterback Daniel Jones expressed his confidence in the new arrangement, stating, “Brian has a great mind for the game. I think we’re all excited to see what he can do.”
Fans will get their first look at Daboll’s play-calling when the Giants take on the Vikings this Sunday. It’s a pivotal moment for the team, as they look to turn their offense around and climb back up the ranks in the league. Only time will tell if Daboll is the answer to their scoring woes, but for now, there is a sense of cautious optimism surrounding the team.
