Jaxson Dart's legs versus the Cowboys containment... One thing that isn't in question is Dart being an extremely good athlete who can win games with his legs if given the opportunity.
STACKED’s take
Dart's rushing upside hinges on Cowboys' ability to contain his legs in Week 1.
Dart's rushing ability is the key matchup focus for Week 1 against Dallas; the source emphasizes that containing his legs may be more impactful than the Cowboys tackles versus Giants edge rushers. In four wins as a starter last year, Dart averaged 41 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns; in a Week 6 win over Philadelphia, he rushed 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown when the Eagles blitzed aggressively. However, in Week 8 against the same Eagles using a passive "clog-and-cover" approach that forced Dart to stay in the pocket, he managed only 6 rushes for 17 yards and a touchdown while going 14-24 for 193 passing yards in a 38-20 loss. The source notes the Cowboys held Dart to 32 rushing yards on 5 carries in Week 18 last year.
