Where did you talk about this? I have been searching for it but have been unable to find it.

Amazing.

Doesn't excuse the loss. The piss poor performance. But it needs to be addressed.

Hell the Saints and Colts tip their hand most of the time anyway. You know thy are gonna pass but the are just so effective that it doesn't matter. We had a bad game plain and simple. Certainly will help us if he can solve this problem though. Were gonna need an effective run and pass game to make it to the big game.

Not his leg specifically, but whether his hand is on the ground, and his stance.

It was in the "AP Running Lanes" thread, I was talking about telegraphing the run.

EDIT:
And I wasn't just talking about McKinnie, but several players/formations.

Isn't it great we re-signed this awesome coach so early? Hell, Mr. A picked up on it a few weeks ago, and the coaches still haven't?

I've never been a huge fan of McKinney...I do, however, think he's played much better this season than I have seen him play in the past. That said, it doesn't suprise me that his feet are planted differently depending upon plays called - I've seen him get torched too many times in pass coverage to believe that he doesn't "cheat" a little on his stance to give himself an edge.

Mcnabb does the same thing with his feet on passing plays its just hard to spot.

Jeff George used to lick his fingers right before going under center on pass plays. Once defenses figured that out, he suddenly became a "bust". I remember the announcers talking about it during a game, and two seasons later he was STILL doing it... I'd say don't blame the coaches for this cause all the coaching in the world can't trump stupidity.

I think someone mentioned this last week, but we still dominated that game.
If true, this is great news. Easily correctable and would make a huge difference going forward. The problem is that changing the stance might be a big reason McKinnie has improved at pass blocking.
McKinnie is definetly not a pro-bowler.

We did? WTF game were you watching? We scored 17 points & gave up 30. Warner out threw Favre & threw more TD's, Favre also had 2 INT's (chould have been 4) to Warner's 0. AD was held to just 19 yards rushing on 13 attempts.

Yep, that just screams domination.
