Protection Breakdown Costs Dart a Hit | New York Giants News

Jaxson Dart took a brutal hit in the Giants’ preseason opener, but blame falls squarely on a breakdown in pass protection—not his performance. The play unfolded when running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. misread the blitz, looking the wrong way due to a confusing call. Tracy took full responsibility, vowing to fix it, while Dart called it a communication failure within the new scheme. Coach John Harbaugh backed Dart’s pocket instincts but confirmed the hit was preventable. Dart returned and even threw a TD later—turning the moment into a teachable one as the team installs its new systems.
