I think there is a direct correlation with that and the defensive playcalling rating for the coach.

I also feel now that in game, the offense picks a play (using the offensive playcalling rating it makes adjustments due to tendencies of defense in the game), then the defense picks a play (using the defensive playcalling rating) at guessing/stuffing the offensive play. Of course, purely a guess, but my exc. defensive playcalling this season seemed to get a lot of "familiar plays" in the second half, especially teams that ran or passed a lot.
