Summary

In a predictably frustrating press conference, Brian Daboll confirmed that Russell Wilson will remain the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 2, despite an anemic six-point performance in the season opener. Daboll's defiant stance and refusal to hold the offense accountable, especially after the unit's third straight season opener without a touchdown, sparked a fiery response from BT and Sal. They criticized Daboll's excuses and his "moral victory" attitude, arguing that his decision to stick with Wilson over promising rookie Jaxson Dart is a sign of a deeper, systemic problem within the Giants organization.

0:22.8

We get to what actually matters.

0:24.5

That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. Geo said if the Giants start 0 and 2, the rest of the game's on the schedule, Dable has no chance to stick around. And look, I don't know what's going to happen as far as that goes.

0:39.0

I do think it's going to get ugly for the Giants before it gets better as far as the win-losses go.

0:44.6

But I don't think that that would be the right move to just fire Daible without – I'm not saying he's saying they're going to fire him before you see Jackson Dart a little bit.

0:52.9

But I don't think I can make that definitive statement until I see what he does with Jackson Dart. We talked about this. So then the path is going to be the predictable one that we said, draft the quarterback, have Dable here for half a season with him, and then what, go with the new head coach? Oh, he's on right now. So let's hear from Brian Dable. I said yesterday that game just doesn't fall on Russell Wilson.

1:13.8

You had to do a better job collectively, coaching, playing, but Russ will be the starter.

1:19.8

Oh, was that even ever really a decision for you?

1:22.8

Well, again, it's right at the end of the game, so I mean not going, I mean, I mean when you went back and watched it.

1:28.4

No, no, Russ would be the starter.

1:32.1

Okay.

1:32.7

What did you think of the offense when you went back and looked like?

1:35.2

What did you see?

1:36.7

And what do you believe is the top culprit for the struggles?

1:40.6

Well, I'd say it was a collective effort, Jordan.

1:44.0

Again, we just, we never got into a rhythm in the early part of the downs, which affected it.

1:50.4

The line of scrimmage, there was, you know, there was a play here or a play there, a block here,

1:55.1

a read there that, you know, we just, you know, kept getting behind the sticks and could never

2:00.7

get into a good enough rhythm.

2:03.0

And then down in the red zone, we had plenty of plays down there.

2:06.2

It's a close game.

2:07.0

It's a 14-6 game with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter.
