There is every reason to believe Daboll on Sept. 8 will don the headset and call the plays into starting quarterback Daniel Jones in the Giants’ season opener against the Vikings.
It is not novel or new in the industry, but it will be novel and new for Brian Daboll in his time with the Giants.Andy Reid, the league’s most successful head coach has been doing it throughout his long career and is looking to win a third consecutive Super Bowl with the Chiefs. Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers does it, and that operation runs smoothly from top to bottom. Sean McVay is a Super Bowl-winning head coach with the Rams and also the play-caller.
“That’s what these preseason games are for,” Daboll said. “Go through that process. I think every team we play this year that has an offensive head coach, besides one, they call the plays. I’ve talked to plenty of people. I just want to go through the process of the preseason, the mechanics of it, the communication with my staff, really in all three phases, plus the people that help me with game management. So that’s much needed.
Daboll after the 2020 season was named the AP’s NFL Assistant Coach of the Year, as Allen finished second in the voting for the Most Valuable Player award. In 2023, Jones played in only six games before a torn ACL ended his season, and the Giants ended up using three different starting quarterbacks.Stud left tackle Andrew Thomas strained a hamstring in the season opener and missed the next seven games, sending the offensive line into shambles.
Daboll spoke with peers he respects to gauge the difficulty of balancing play-calling with all the other responsibilities a head coach carries on game days.“I talked to them about how they manage the game, manage the defense when they’re talking to the offense, the kicking game, the decisions,” Daboll said. “But it’s very similar to how we’ve done it, other than you’re communicating to the quarterback during the offensive series.
