Quote:What made him bad? Scheme, skill, etc?

Under Shanny, they ran a ZBS which played to his athleticism. Flip ran a power scheme last year and there was a lot of Mack just getting thrown directly back into the QB.


It wasn't just the physical part either. He would have mental lapses and do goofy stuff like step on the feet of the guards which would result in them being off balance and getting put on their butt. Cam Erving was awful but his situation was made worse by several plays where Mack was supposed to help him out but instead just stepped on his right foot and got him planted by the DT.


It wasn't just recovering from an injury that made him look bad. The mental aspect is what was more agregious. Pressure up the middle is what got McCown half murdered.
