Did Coughlin leak his gameplan?

So...I encourage everyone to go to Giants.com and listen to Coughlin's presser.

Maybe I am reading too much into it but it struck me as odd for some reason.  TC starts praising Norman and at the tail end says "he has had a tremendous year matched up against opposing 1s at least until he goes into the slot". Reporter then comments, "he doesn't go into the slot".

I don't follow TC. But something about the conversation and tone of the exchange made it sound like having Beckham in the slot all game will be exactly what the NYGs do....just found it interesting TC made a point to mention he hasn't done his work in the slot.  Reporters picked up on it too and followed up about it and he dismissed it but I just found it odd he went there...maybe he didn't intend to say that much 

so if that is the game plan, history would suggest Norman wouldn't go to the slot.  Hasn't followed Julio or others there.   

So so if the NYGs do that....and do it heavy...will Carolina wait until the NYGs torch us before we see Norman attempt his first slot action? Will it take multiple receptions? Will they simply choose to stay the course and not put Norman there at all? Not all teams have a Norman after all and the Giants so have a losing record? 

Will a very interesting matchup.  Given Manning is playing better than Ryan....Odell will be the most dangerous weapon of the year we will face. 

Have you seen the Panthers play the last few weeks?  Every team is moving their #1 to the slot numerous times throughout the game to get Norman off of them.  This is not a secret gameplan.

OBJ already plays about 30% of his snaps in the slot so it's already in their game plan but I wouldn't be surprised to see him used there a bit more than that on Sunday since it's not a major adjustment to put him there. It's already in the playbook.

I'm almost certain I saw Norman follow Julio to the slot a few times.  Only one time did Julio go to the slot and Norman didn't follow him, that I saw.  And that was that big catch and run Julio had.

He definitely followed him into the slot at least a couple times that I remember.
