Now, Daboll has made a call on which quarterback is going to play against\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/Lamar-Jackson\/\">Lamar Jackson<\/a>\u00a0and the Ravens.<\/p>\n<h2>Brian Daboll Makes Final Quarterback Decision for Ravens Game<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking with press on Monday, December 9, Daboll said the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SNYGiants\/status\/1866177588420370788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Giants would be starting Lock<\/a>, as long as he\u2019s healthy enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, Drew will be at quarterback this week, unless he can\u2019t be based on injury,\u201d Daboll said.<\/p>\n<p>The move is somewhat of a surprise, since Lock\u2019s stats from the past two games haven\u2019t been great. Lock\u00a0completed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/L\/LockDr00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">51.9% of his passes for a total of 405 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns<\/a>\u00a0in the Giants\u2019 losses to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/tampa-bay-buccaneers\/\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/new-orleans-saints\/\">New Orleans Saints<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>NFL writer and expert Matt Sidney of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gmenhq.com\/brian-daboll-controversial-new-york-giants-qb-decision-drew-lock-baltimore-ravens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">GmenHQ s<\/a>tated that the move was a bit \u201cpuzzling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Giants face the Ravens this week, a team sitting at 8-5 and fighting for playoff positioning in the AFC. Baltimore opened as a heavy favorite, and few are expecting a Drew Lock-led offense to offer much resistance,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gmenhq.com\/brian-daboll-controversial-new-york-giants-qb-decision-drew-lock-baltimore-ravens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">he stated in a December 10 feature<\/a>. \u201cWith nothing to lose, the decision to stick with Lock feels more puzzling than purposeful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of Lock,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gmenhq.com\/brian-daboll-controversial-new-york-giants-qb-decision-drew-lock-baltimore-ravens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Sidney also stated<\/a>, \u201cWhile he did provide a brief spark with his legs, rushing for a team-high 59 yards, his overall performance was emblematic of the Giants\u2019 season: uninspired, inconsistent, and ultimately ineffective.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Giants HC Brian Daboll Talks Losing Streaks, Winning Streaks<\/h2>\n<p>Elsewhere in the press conference, Daboll talked about the Giants\u2019 losing streak and said he\u2019s been apart of losing streaks before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been part of some losing streaks like this and some winning streaks,\u201d\u00a0he told reporters. \u201cI think you are part of a lot of different things when you do it for as long as I have. You get a little bit of roll; you start playing good. Turnovers are a big, usually a big factor in that. Situational football is usually a big factor in that. Whether that be red zone, third down, and that helps scoring points, or preventing points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daboll added that he\u2019s been a part of losing streaks where they started out and had a bunch of losses but then \u201cfinished strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, every season\u2019s different, every game\u2019s different,\u201d\u00a0Daboll added. Then, regarding the loss against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, December 8, he said there were \u201cebbs and flows\u201d to the matchup and that they \u201chad some opportunities there, I\u2019d say, in all three phases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also talked about the red zone plays of the game, stating, \u201cWe had the one thing in the red zone there, defensively, where they did a good job of shifting out, we had an uncovered guy. So, there\u2019s plays every game, every season. Got to figure out a way to make those.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YpcAuBE_Ue0&amp;ab_channel=NewYorkGiants<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Giants have made an announcement heading into their high-profile game against the Baltimore Ravens.
