Right from the coaches mouth. To score points you need to throw the ball. Hope you got your yardage right for DD. 3900 yds and 26 TDs with the bigger offensive line and Jones on board.
McCarthy Interview
Q. You came in talking like a coach hell-bent on running the ball after having had a run rate of 43.2% in New Orleans and 49.5% in San Francisco, yet the Packers ran merely 39.7% in '06 despite having an established runner like Ahman Green for 14 games. Did you drop the ball? Or are you finding out the zone scheme isn't what it's cracked up to be?
A. It's neither. To score points in this league you need to throw the ball. I think anybody would agree on that. To commit to the run for me would be around 44%, 45%. If you want to pound the football and play good defense, that's where I was with the Saints in '01, we were 49% run. We had a number of games last year we were behind. I'll say this. Brett threw it more last year than you like but I'll do whatever it takes to win.
