One game at a time. Got Carolina coming up - cannot overlook them. McCarthy seems to have the team focused. However, if we're going into that game against the 'boys healthy. I don't see any reason why we can't win. We match up well defensively. Woodson and Harris will frustrate their receivers with their bump and run style. Bigby and Rouse/Collins(if he's healthy) will need to do their part and be assignment sure. Marion Barber is a tough aggressive runner - the most violent runner in the league - so we'll have to contain him. Offensively, we should have the advantage - their defense is aggressive but we can exploit their secondary. Roy Williams delivers big hits but lacks pass coverage ability. Our Run 'n' Shoot style offense has too many receiving threats. We give Favre time, we'll score points.
BTW - This offense is way more Run 'n' Shoot than West Coast. The true WCO never used shotgun. Yes we use the pass to set up the run and our pass game and our pass game relies on short passes so in that way it's a sort of hybrid. 5 wide receiver spreads with shotgun formation is far from WCO. McCarthy uses the tools he's given - and hell, with a deep deep blue collar receiving core and a future Hall of Famer why not spread it out.
