[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 757305, member: 9780"] He has been breaking out of that conservative shell of his. I have seen the shift. Going for it on 4th downs. Airing it out more. Even a couple fake punts onside kicks thrown in there. He even started going for it on 2 point conversions when the extra point was moved back... he failed a few times, and went back to kicking extra point like the rest of the league. But don't forget that he played the numbers and gave our offense the ball to try... Weird thing is... OK, you look at Seattle's Carrol for example. Aggressive, sneaky plays come natural, because he is naturally aggressive (imo). With McCarthy they are well thought out, and even timed correctly. But something's off. It doesn't seem natural. He loses more than he should when he takes risks it seems. Apprehension? Not enough time spent on sneakiness at practice? Lol. I'd love to see McCarthy spin a bad loss press conference saying, "we just had too many fundamentals out there today. Need less planning, and more playing!". Lol! But seriously. Playing the numbers. The fact we have a great offense. A great qb and experienced guys around him... we should have paid better dividends on the aggressiveness McCarthy has had . The way McCarthy played Hundley was weak. But to be fair. Hundley threw three ints right away when McCarthy let him throw it. (Right after Rodgers went out). Then it was three pathetic games of Hundley running back 15 yards and throwing it 5 or 10 for a 5 yd loss... it was some of the worst football I ever seen. Then to see him play great against Steelers, only to come out and start throwing ugly ints again.... it was hard to watch. McCarthy let him loose, reeled him in. Got a good indicator he was ready to be let loose again, and then he bit the dust again... hardly all McCarthy fault. [/QUOTE]
