This very well might be Russell Wilson’s last stand

This very well might be Russell Wilson’s last stand

ARLINGTON, Texas — Put him in, Coach.  Put Jaxson Dart in the game.  Whatever calculated plan Brian Daboll has designed for his prized rookie quarterback, getting his feet wet with a package or two that gets him on the field against the Cowboys on Sunday would be a sensible first step.  Should Doomsday in Dallas unfold for Russell Wilson and …

A must-win game already? Why Russell Wilson, Giants have to beat the Cowboys

A must-win game already? Why Russell Wilson, Giants have to beat the Cowboys

A miserable season-opening loss has a New York Giants quarterback’s starting status on the ropes. No, this isn’t a recording. But there are parallels from last year when Daniel Jones’ job security was a hot topic after a 28-6 season-opening loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Russell Wilson finds himself in a similar spot this week after a demoralizing 21-6 loss …

Russell Wilson deserves everyone’s respect on his way out the Giants door

Russell Wilson deserves everyone’s respect on his way out the Giants door

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Russell Wilson, at 5-foot-11, was never supposed to have this kind of career as a professional quarterback. Built like a small oak-wood icebox, Wilson always looked more like a second baseman who loved planting his feet, hanging in there on a double play, and daring a charging base runner to take him out. The Colorado Rockies …

Schotty, Russell Wilson connection creates ‘chess match’

“Yeah, I think that’s the fun part of the chess match that we love so much as coaches and players, and why you look forward to playing against your friends,” Schottenheimer said after Wednesday’s fully padded practice. That familiarity doesn’t stop at Schottenheimer and Wilson though, and not by a long shot, with the Cowboys employing an extra bishop in …

Russell Wilson’s two-word message as calls for Jaxson Dart intensify

Russell Wilson’s two-word message as calls for Jaxson Dart intensify

Russell Wilson can withstand the noise — even as the calls for his job grow after just one week. Taking to X on Tuesday, the starting Giants quarterback posted a two-word message centered on emotional fitness after a debut to forget in Sunday’s 21-6 loss to the Commanders, a performance that sparked rallying cries from critics to replace him with …

Giants couldn’t bench Russell Wilson after one bad game. But what about after two?

Giants couldn’t bench Russell Wilson after one bad game. But what about after two?

New York Giants coach Brian Daboll left the door open to a quarterback change on Sunday. He predictably closed it on Monday. Daboll affirmed that he’s sticking with Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback for the Giants’ Week 2 matchup at Dallas. Confirmation was necessary after Daboll was non-committal about Wilson’s status after the veteran’s underwhelming Giants debut in a …

Giants can’t just abandon their Russell Wilson plan

Giants can’t just abandon their Russell Wilson plan

It would have been absolutely ridiculous for Brian Daboll after one game to pull Russell Wilson and insert rookie Jaxson Dart as the starting quarterback. And a man in Daboll’s position, just as Jack Woltz stressed in no uncertain terms to Tom Hagen in “The Godfather,” can’t afford to be made to look ridiculous.  Of course, Daboll confirmed on Monday …
