[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 135897, member: 195"] What I like best is how he appeared to earn the respect of the players very quickly, and to hold their respect for the entire season. He seems like a player-friendly coach, without being too loose (Ray Rhodes was too loose). That's a good start for a new head coach, especially one whose credentials were not overwhelming by any means. I like that he was willing to pass the ball often when the running game was not working, in spite of the fact that he preached a run-first mentality. Some fans saw this as being wishy-washy, but I think that when plan A simply is not working, you have to go to plan B. I expect the running game to be improved this year, so we will see more of a run-first offense. If this happens, it will also make the passing game more effective. Favre's completion percentage should go up. I liked seeing a new wrinkle in the offense toward the end of the season, where they would pull the guards and run the ball to the edge, which is not part of a strict zone blocking offense. It was encouraging to see the playbook opened up a little, and this is also something I would like to see more of this season. Overall, it was a promising first year for McCarthy. I am cautiously optimistic. [/QUOTE]
