New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll carrying a play sheet during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, something he has not ordinarily done since becoming Giants coach, has led to speculation that Daboll took over play-calling responsibilities from offensive coordinator Mike Kafka during the Giants’ comeback.
Daboll denied that after the game with a quick “nope” when asked if he called plays.
“We always communicate like that,” Daboll said. “I always have a sheet with me. But (offensive coordinator) Mike (Kafka) did a fantastic job. I communicate with Mike, I communicate with T- Mac (special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey), I communicate with (defensive coordinator) Wink (Martindale).
