I'm going to offer up a completely clueless guess as to what McD is doing ... mainly because I really, really, really want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He has a vision. Yes. A vision. A vision of what this offense should be. The problem is, unfortunately, that we do not quite have the athletes to execute that vision. We don't have burners out wide, regardless of all the press Estime has received .. and Broyld seems to hold back at times for some reason instead of just going for it, but even with that Ashton has been successful. I'm going to be very hopeful for Ishmael and Erv, however.

The negative side to this is that McD doesn't seem to understand how to adjust the offensive calls to the talent he currently has. Makes me think of blinders on a blind horse that can't run on an oval track. Hopefully he will realize what the talent on the field is capable of, the strong suits, and take advantage of what we CAN do instead of trying to execute an offense he wishes the team could implement. I know we did well against CMU but that was more our O line getting the push than McD taking advantage of our strengths ... uhm, wait ... we DID take advantage of our strengths against CMU - we ran an offensive that took advantage of our strengths against the CMU defense!

Just a wild guess. I remain optimistic that McD will learn ... I remain optimistic ... and, I remain optimistic.

Sincerely,

Just a fan with blinders on :)
