Calling plays for NYG since 2026

Play-calling authority

87%

New CEO-model HC John Harbaugh — who calls plays on neither side — hired the veteran caller for full offensive autonomy, surrounding him with a heavyweight support staff (Brian Callahan, Greg Roman) that makes scheme-building collaborative.

Tendencies

PaceProjected deliberate huddle pace with simplified installs to slow the game for Jaxson Dart
Early downsProjected run-leaning — Dart calls the offense 'run-first' under Harbaugh, despite Nagy's Reid-tree passing DNA
Target treeProjected spread-around: RPOs, screens and dual-threat RB usage distribute targets widely
SlotProjected featured: RPO quick slants and screens funnel to slot separators and YAC types
MotionBig jump projected: 2025 Giants were league-low ~39% motion; Nagy was motion-heavy in Chicago and KC
Red zoneProjected power-gap ground game near the goal line with RPO wrinkles
AlsoScreens were 13% of dropbacks in his Chicago offenses (5th); KC ran the 2nd-most RPOs in 2025
Who benefitsPass-catching RBs, slot/screen YAC receivers, goal-line power backs

Based on: Projected from Chicago 2018-21 calling + Reid/KC tree + 2026 Giants reporting
