This is simply an emergency and a Vet player to get in Elams ear hopefully. As bad as he has been, he has the talent. I doubt he will succeed, but who knows
Again, you are failing to see the point that it is all connected. The poor offensive play contributed to the poor 3rd down defense, along with the injuries. Your premise that the defensive issues are McD's fault is asinine.
I'm going to say what you don't want to hear, but need to hear. A lot of you are a bunch of babies, whining and crying like it's the end of the world. Get a ***** grip! Settle the hell down and let things play out.
