Week 11 Sunday Splash reports say the Giants are pressing Jaxson Dart to protect himself, a message underscored after his concussion against the Bears. Coaches want their potential franchise quarterback to temper his instinct for extra yards with smarter choices such as sliding, throwing the ball away, or taking a seat when pressure closes in. The cautionary tales are familiar around the league, from quarterbacks injured while refusing to step out of bounds to teams teaching QBs how to slide. The lesson endures: unnecessary hits threaten availability, and availability is the bedrock of development.
