[Schwartz] New Giants DC Bowen brings a simplified approach. “I want to make sure that when that center has his hand on the ball, we are lined up. We’ve got our cleats in the ground and we are ready to roll and attack … and we are not overthinking out there.’’

I’d rather their cleats be on the ground not in the ground.
It’s a fine line. Remember that one season recently where we were in one very vanilla offensive formation the majority of the time, more than any other team in the league, and the criticism was that we were too predictable? Simple is good, but not too simple…. Also, usually you want things simpler when you have superior athletes and talent; you usually need complex schemes when you know you can’t out-athletic or out-talent the opponent, and you need to try to out-maneuver or out-scheme them. I think the jury’s out on whether we’re going to be out-talenting anyone this year…
