Can Mike Kafka make it work in New York?

He was more expansive and significantly less guarded than he had been during much of the previous 3½ years he has been with the Giants under former coach Brian Daboll.

This is now Mike Kafka, the interim head coach -- no longer the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
