I have a theory that MM likes to bring something new into every playoff run. Starks and our run game in the last superbowl run. Cobb out of the backfield last year. I believe McCarthy prefers to grind out some hard wins to build his team. Even willing to take a couple losses (knowing we will still make the playoffs) to show how bad losing feels....
I know this sounds far fetched. But think about it. He is building a young team. Building character. You need to get knocked down to learn how to get back up. Now if we come out showing all our cards from week 1, sure we might have a couple more blow out wins. Couple more wins overall maybe even? But we won't have anything new to show come the time the games really count!!! Meanwhile the best coaches have tape to watch on us. If we get our butts handed back to us in the first half of a playoff game, will we have the character to know we could still win this?! This is what a HC must consider when three quarters of the team is in their early 20s... And the nfl coaches being as good as they are...
Point is... Da Montster was having a break out game when he got hurt. Catching some passes, but also having some very productive carries out of the backfield. This strategy, similar and Probabally coupled with Cobbs ability to do the same. Will be our playoff twist this year. It is dynamic and aallows us to throw defenses off their game. At the same time This unorthodox scheme gets our most potent play maker's the ball in their hands. This will help the oline and rodgers pass attack. Defenses will have to bring speed allowing lacy to start bowling again.
I'm optimistic.
