McCarthy's Play Calling

[Brooksey]

I have noticed a trend with McCarthy and his play calling.

If you look at the Giants, it is pretty obvious that they came out wanting to get Turpin more involved in the offense including getting him the ball 3 straight plays which ended in an FG. Then Turpin basically became an afterthought, and McCarthy went back to calling his normal offense making no effort to involve Turpin again for over 2 quarters.

There have been quite a few times when Dallas comes out and the first drive is very effective, and you can tell they have a purpose to get Rico involved or Lamb a few easy catches, but they also use those scripted plays to attack defenses weaknesses, however, he never really uses that information or build on it throughout the game, he just reverts back to calling the same group of plays every week.

There has been quite a bit of talk about Jerry possibly bringing McCarthy back, with the QB and taking a shot at Jerry saying on his terms, but if those terms don't include a new offensive coordinator who calls the plays we are in for a lot of grief as fans.

When the players don't make the plays, it always looks bad.

I didn't see any problem with the play calling only lack of execution

Maybe just me but seems like, as you say he comes in wanting to feature a guy. I guess because of the matchup. But he doesn’t adjust well when it gets stopped

Doesn't matter who calls plays. Booger has sole authority to have his four favorite plays in the gameplan. Even if those are the total gameplan.

I don’t know about Jerry calling plays but he certainly pushes players. That’s why we couldn’t run early in the season because he insisted on an over the hill RB getting touches
