Kafka called plays during the preseason and Daboll confirmed that that will be the setup going forward. “It’s just about getting with the players, giving them the stuff that they like and then just going through evaluation,” said Kafka, 38. ESPN reported that Kafka had play-calling duties revoked due to “noticeable discontent” during the 2023 season, the Giants’ second year with Daboll in charge. Daboll was in charge of calling plays in 2021, and New York sank to 3-14 with the second-worst scoring offense in the NFL .
