Part 6/14:
Banks and Papa stressed that successful teams differentiate themselves through flexible scheming, disguises, and in-game plans that maximize players’ strengths. They pointed out that coaches like Belichick, Reid, and Tom Coughlin built their defenses on meticulous game plans and weekly adjustments, which the Giants have lacked.
Banks suggested that moving players around, such as Abdul Carter, to create matchups could be part of a more aggressive and creative approach. He claims that the defense didn't enter the season with a clear plan for certain players and that the lack of scheme flexibility has been a primary reason for poor results.
