Since accepting the job as head coach, Giants' Brian Daboll has been asked who will be calling the offense on Sundays,
whether it is him or new offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.
The answer is finally here. Daboll told reporters on Monday that Kafka will head into this week preparing for the Tennessee Titans as the play-caller in Week 1, per NFL Network.
Kafka has been the man inside the quarterback's helmet all preseason, so the job was certainly leaning in his favor.
While preseason stats obviously do not matter once games kick off this week,
the Giants did have the most yards per game over their three exhibition contests, so Kafka seems to know what is working.
Either way, the Giants were in better hands than they were in 2021.
They began the year with Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator despite his system being a bit too traditional for how the modern NFL works.
That showed itself when conservative play did not generate many points,
as Big Blue only averaged 15.2 points per game, second-worst in the league last season.
Freddie Kitchens, who was head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 2019, took over once the Giants parted ways with Garrett and nothing improved.
New York would end up second-worst in yards per game (287.3) and passing yards per game (188.0) on their way to a 4-13 record.
