Just like the title says, but I want to see McCarthy bring something different. Like he did in Miami, by starting Luepke at RB. That was brilliant, up until Luepke fumbled at the goal line. I still think that was an RPO play, and Luepke just misread Dak. Still, that drive ended up being a tad too cute and cost us. But it had potential, had they been able to execute the exchange at the goal line.
That's spilled milk. I heard McCarthy's latest speech. "High School Harry," . . . he doesn't work here. And that whole think with not having enough time. Anyway, that's good stuff. That's what you want, after you build the team chemistry and comradery. That's also important. Because, look at how the Eagles are falling apart. Egos get too big, and the potential of the team diminishes.
Anyway, I want to see McCarthy be innovative with his approach going into the playoff. One way you do that is to focus on the players lower on the depth chart. Adjust your scheme to their strengths, and scheme plays around them in case the defense decides to double your other players, which you should expect. So far, Jalen Tolbert has executed when he's been called upon. So, all hands on deck. I have a feeling he'll end up with some crucial plays down the stretch. I was almost embarrassed last year, because the signs he flashed didn't bode well.
But so far, it looks like he has the kind of potential to that you can lean on when you really need it. When he was drafted, I compared him to Andre Reed, the old Bills WR. Tolbert will never be Cee Dee Lamb, imo, but he has the potential to have an Andre Reed type career. They're almost identical in body type, and measurements, even collegiate accomplishments. We shall see. But I just have a feeling that scheming around Tolbert could be the thing that puts you over the top. Having to account for Tolbert early on now, or even a guy like Brooks, well, that opens up the rest of your guys, which is why I didn't see the drops by Gallup as such a bad thing early on. At least they weren't picks, and it forced the defense to account for him, because they were forcing him the ball.
While I'm talking about preparing Jalen Tolbert, I'd say the same thing for Hendershot. There are things you can do to get Hendershot on the field, and even scheme around him if you need to. Mostly, I want to see innovation. I want teams to think, wait, this isn't the team or offense we prepared for all week.
