Quarterback Jaxson Dart has been in the building with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh for over a month now. <\/p>\n

The young signal-caller is picking up what Harbaugh has been putting down when it comes to trying to set the tone for the upcoming season. <\/p>\n

This week, Dart told Jordan Raanan of ESPN that each day, Harbaugh has been preaching how he\u2019s expecting the Giants to be a physical and violent kind of team in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the style he wants us to play at<\/a>,\u201d Dart said. \u201cHe has the right guys here for it and I just think that what he wants to do is what everybody on this team wants to be about. We\u2019re hungry to win and I couldn\u2019t think of a better coach to play for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dart also noted his excitement for New York\u2019s offense to enter the season healthy, after players like receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo weren\u2019t about to finish the season due to injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think we\u2019re very versatile. I think it starts there,\u201d Dart said of the offense, coordinated by Matt Nagy. \u201cAnd then the other thing is, I just can\u2019t wait for all my boys to be back healthy. I\u2019m excited for the pieces we\u2019ve brought in. They\u2019re going to help us a ton. And we\u2019re just going to be a physical, violent team. That goes on the offensive side of the ball, defensive side of the ball, and special teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the boys and I can\u2019t wait to get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 14 appearances with 12 starts as a rookie, Dart completed 63.7 percent of his passes for 2,272 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also rushed for 487 yards with nine TDs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quarterback Jaxson Dart has been in the building with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh for over a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-641159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
