00:00Welcome to News Plus Globe.
00:02Jackson Dart is trying to lock down the Giants' starting job,
00:04but his health is becoming a major concern.
00:07In his second season, he's already had a concussion scare in a preseason game.
00:11He took a brutal hit, went to the medical tent, but returned to throw a touchdown.
00:14The Giants are clearly trying to protect him.
00:16They held him out of a game against the Dolphins to limit his exposure,
00:19but the bigger issue is his playing style.
00:21Last year, he was sacked 35 times, the 11th most in the NFL.
00:25His teammates have been begging him to learn how to slide.
00:28Edge rusher Brian Burns said it's been a point of emphasis in practice.
00:31Dart has the mentality of a warrior, but if he doesn't learn to protect himself,
00:35he might not have a long career.
00:37The Giants are hopeful he can stay healthy and win the job from Russell Wilson,
00:40but his development is as much about learning when to go down
00:43as it is about throwing touchdowns.
