EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo called them “tweaks.” The New York Giants have safeties coach Dave Merritt helping as a sort of co-defensive coordinator, an altered practice schedule -- Friday is no longer a spa day -- and a new dress code, among other things. These are some of the alterations that come with a new boss taking over at this point in the season.
Spagnuolo is hoping these are the kind of minor changes that will lead to better results than the recently fired Ben McAdoo got from his team this season.
