More Banjo: @ Lions Week 3

McCarthy: I like the mechanics of how we game planned. This was more about taking advantage of opportunities. #GBvsDET

Translation: Should have worked and was open. Doesn't realize players aren't capable of making that play yet though.

I generally find the critique of McCarthy being stubborn just lazily blaming poor outcomes. But this is where McCarthy's entire hurts. He trusts the system more than anything and in general that is as it should be. Makes it predictable for players to learn, gives backups a shot at contributing, etc.

But when it ain't working, it ain't working.

Is he saying that the offensive line just didn't block for shit, and Boykin didn't catch for shit?

I think Boykin yes. I would bet he thinks there were holes to run in but they didn't get the correct read enough by the RB.

I'd say that's fair. Also, where is the YAC? It's like Rodgers is throwing to guys in tight coverage, pretty much always who get tackled almost right away. Where is Cobb?

I think Boykin yes. I would bet he thinks there were holes to run in but they didn't get the correct read enough by the RB.

To me, that's on Lacey and Harris. On one carry Starks saw nowhere to go, so he jammed into the LOS and got about three. That was better than Lacey's losses or Harris's losses. I don't get this trying to get outside when they know what kind of line and linebackers the Lions have.

Sounds like MM is dropping this one at the players' feet. Hope he's screaming at them right now, and when he gets home his wife screams at him.

And again, the Packers receivers take FOREVER and a day to get open. And this against a Lion's secondary that is supposed to be hurting.

[Fritz]

yeah, they were singularly unimpressive, were they not?

[pbmax]

Not for nothing, but in the player's red doesn't like department, Burnett had a terrible half assed attempt to stop Bush short of his touchdown. He dived and hit nothing,

It was damn clear on the TV and I assume in the booth that Starks could read where the holes were.

[Fritz]

I wonder what has happened to Lacey? Last year he seemed to have a great feel for the creases and holes, now he's bouncing most everything outside.

#Packers RB Eddie Lacy seemed perplexed about run game: "Don't know if I have to be more patient or speed things up."

Seemed that Lacy was doing too much east/west running instead of north/south. He is the LAST guy to be dancing around from sideline to sideline. He is the battering ram. If there is even a tiny crease, he should be hitting it and making his own holes.
