[QUOTE="Croak, post: 377833, member: 2367"] I think the issue is did the real first team really suck? Now we've found out through the talking heads on TV that McCarthy said he wasn't game planning as much as calling certain sets of plays to evaluate specific personnel. He said sure they wanted to win, but player evaluation was the number one priority behind calling plays. I noticed in the cardinals game there seemed to be a pattern of sets and I thought, "Gee that's awful predictable. What's the use of running a variation of the same play three times in a row.?" Then one of the TV guys later mentioned McCarthy's approach. It could be he was trying to see if Sherrod could handle certain opponents, or if Finley was back up to snuff, etc. This explanation also explains why we haven't see the Caper's signature defense either. It all seemed very blaaah in the Cardinals game; no psycho, no exotic blitzes, and very little movement to confuse the opponent. Perhaps we'll know more by the cut downs and the third game. But then again, they will still have a bunch of guys to evaluate and cut down to 53 before the season starts. [/QUOTE]
