According to Dan Pompei of the National Football Post, instead of trying to plug Donovan McNabb into their offense, Vikings coaches are trying to plug their offense into Donovan McNabb. Minnesota offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave hopes to revitalize the 34-year old passer by making McNabb as comfortable as possible in his offense, and it is a marked departure from the approach the Redskins took last year, when McNabb had his most disappointing NFL season. “Our whole offensive staff is trying to put him in position to have success,†said Musgrave, who came to the Vikings from the Falcons, where he coached Matt Ryan. “We are customizing and tailoring the Vikings system to fit his strengths.†Musgrave goes so far as to call it “Donovan’s system.†Musgrave has solicited McNabb’s opinion and says he is open-minded about taking the offense where McNabb wants it to go, which is music to the ears of McNabb, who talked of becoming robotic last year. He says the Vikings’ offensive approach is one of the reasons he wanted to be traded to Minnesota. “I looked at it as a good fit because you have a head coach [Les Frazier] who knows you, he knows your regimen, he knows how you spend extra time trying to be better at what you do,†McNabb told me. “Bill Musgrave has played the position. He knows the best way of approaching the game and making the offense comfortable is what’s best suited for the players, what they feel comfortable with, what they can get done.†Source: National Football Post
