Vikings Working On QB Donovan McNabb's Mechanics

    Leslie Frazier said coaches have identified some mechanical issues they want to address this week in practice with Donovan McNabb according to Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN. But the Minnesota Vikings' veteran quarterback bristled on Wednesday when asked if he saw anything on tape that needs to change. "No," McNabb said. "I think the thing about it, just when you're critical of yourself and your play, you just look at your reads, you look at how fast you can get the ball out. I think obviously footwork and things like that, but that's not just my position -- that's from everyone. "As a quarterback, when you're watching yourself, you're going through everything. It's not just mechanics. It's ball placement, it's 'is it the right read,' things like that." "Sometimes, you anticipate throws, or if you have pressure in your face, whatever it may be, you try to anticipate it -- especially versus man coverage," McNabb said. "You want to have the ball out before the DB even turns his head around and give your guy an opportunity. Some throws you just miss. "For me, again, just evaluating myself and just watching each and every week, if it's over-striding on the throw, if it's trying to put it outside when the receiver's taking a step inside, whatever it may be, but those things definitely can be corrected and I look forward to it being corrected."

    This long and the league and we are talking mechanics?!?!? Never been a fan. Thought Andy Reid had a lot to do with making McNabb, McNabb, If you lose another or a few more games, do you pull this guy and throw in Webb or Ponder?

    If there is one person on this planet that can fix McRib its QB guru Bill Musgrave.
    He is the Best

    Matt Ryan and I wished the Falcons didnt let him walk, or even talk to Minn.

    When a QB basically defends his bad mechanics (as he did in Washington as well), nothing is going to change. He never sees himself as the problem and never admits to his flaws.
