Let's get some of the calls in, some happy Giants fans 888808101.9 for Nikki in Connecticut.

0:06.2

What's going on, Nikki?

0:07.5

Hi, guys.

0:09.3

I just wanted to say, good morning.

0:11.6

It's a great Friday for all the Giants fans out there.

0:15.5

I am so happy this morning.

0:18.2

And to be honest, I'm not a huge giant. Can't spell it out, but it's okay. Go for it. You can continue. Your 82-year-old father is a huge Giants fan. Anyway, he's really happy. Yes, continue. He's really happy. He's really happy. But are you guys really surprised about Jackson's art? Yeah, actually, yes. Of course I'm surprised by it. Nothing ever works out here, Nikki. It never works out with these guys. But listen, you can't. You can't. You got it. You got to have good vibes. You got it. Did you watch him play at Old Miss last year? Listen, this guy's got such spirit. We've gone through this with every single one of these quarterbacks, Nikki, and I'm happy that you're positive about it. I can't be positive, but anybody that's a jet or giant that comes out of the draft that's at that quarterback position with the slop we have seen.

1:18.7

And that is great because we haven't had fun like this with the Giants in a long time.

1:23.2

Well, he's two and one in his three starts.

1:25.6

And he's won two home games in front of the fans doing things that fans aren't used to seeing.

1:30.7

And that is extending plays, running with the ball, being accurate, being fearless, if not reckless, but being fearless for sure.

1:39.3

And that's a big part of, I think, the makeup of a quarterback. you try to find the right guy that has the makeup to be that guy and that loves ball and loves to show up and loves to be the leader.

1:53.5

And I think Brian Daibble recognized that.

1:55.6

I wonder what the Lane Kiff and Brian Daibald discussions were about, you know, Jackson Dart.

2:00.8

And I think the Giants knew that they had to get somebody out of this draft.

2:05.9

And maybe they weren't totally enamored with him for whatever reason,

2:09.3

whatever like 10% of his personality that maybe they didn't like, I don't know.

2:14.0

But whatever it is on the field, he brings it.

2:16.8

And Brian Dable obviously loves every minute
