When looking ahead to football games, I often put myself in the shoes of an offensive or defensive coordinator. What would I game plan for? What would keep me up at night? What would I make sure is in the list of scripted plays? What players would I be most concerned with.
Thinking about Sunday night, with the New England Patriots offense taking on the Seattle Seahawks defense, I have vacillated between putting myself in Ken Norton Jr.’s shoes, and those of Josh McDaniels. If I’m McDaniels, how am I attacking this defense? If I’m Norton, what worries me about this offense after watching it against Miami?
