steveishere;257724I'd bet McCarthys teams convert in the red zone/ goal line area at a higher percentage than most if not all other teams.

Oddly enough, we only rank 12th with a 64% conversion rate. Last year we were just a little better at 68%.

I think we all feel we should be up near the top, but we are not. I think that speaks to coaching and poor prep and game management.

Yes, what he said. This has been on my mind since (especially) mid season last year. Coaching staff needs to know when to get creative,
and when fundemental needs to be the focal point. MM has become too routine and predictable. When fans are knowing what the play is - obviously the coach on the other sideline will pick up on it.

The problems run deeper than the playcalling obviously, but good place to start. Also helps to catch the damn ball!!

Looks like #1 last year and #11 this year so far.
That doesn't seem bad to me considering we've faced 2 probably good defenses so far.
