Jumping into the mind of an NFL defensive coordinator and predicting their strategy is generally a fruitless endeavor. Not only does it assume to know the plans of some of the most calculated and secretive coaches on the planet, but it minimizes all the many variables that go into each game-day decision.
This type of risky prognostication becomes even more volatile when it departs from the standard operating procedure of the respective coach, whether conservative or aggressive. So, to say Dallas and Giants may each go against their previous norm, may be a little wild. But in a way, that’s exactly what may unfold on Sunday night when New York hosts the Cowboys.
