Giants Brian Daboll suggests other personnel changes are on the way

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll officially announced the team’s intent to make a change at quarterback going forward on Monday during a Zoom conference call.

Daniel Jones will no longer be the starter and has been demoted all the way down the depth chart to No. 3rd place.

Drew Lock will remain the primary backup, while third-stringer Tommy DeVito, who hasn’t played a snap since the preseason, has been elevated to the starting role beginning this Sunday at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The changes may not end there. Daboll hinted that there could be more lineup adjustments at other positions this week.

“Personnel groupings offensively or defensively, much less than this, obviously, just looking at the quarterback situation. But there will be different guys mixing in and out and we’ll take a look at some of these guys who have done a good job since they’ve been here,” he said. “Maybe they haven’t had as many reps or we’re deploying them in some personnel groups. That’s what we’re going to do here over the next couple of days as we get ready for Tampa, decide where these guys fits.”

Daboll didn’t elaborate on those comments, but the reality is there isn’t much the team hasn’t tried this season.

All six of their drafted rookies have seen significant playing time, and injuries up and down the roster have also given a good number of backups a chance to get on the field as well.

One possibility is along the offensive line, where they could try to get rookie Jake Kubas some more work. Some changes at wide receiver could also be made with Darius Slayton likely headed for free agency after the season.
