The Iggles should have won all but one of their first 6 games last year. McCoy was starting for the first time and just played a lot in the preseason. He learned behind Kearse and Howard, but as things turned out, there was a lot of juggling in front of him by the sixth game. He was AWESOME against the screens. He was praised by everyone for being Johnny on the spot during the screens. He was stringing out the outside runs and getting to the edge. He missed a couple tackles on the outside runs, but that could be expected for a small young LBer. He was a very solid LBer during those 6 weeks. Anyone saying differnent is simply confusing the following weeks when he had his injuryand started to stink up the joint.
I can't expect much from McCoy this year unless Gocong struggles. With TKO in front of him, he will only get on the field in the passing game and/or when TKO is moved around. He is very fast and considered a really good coverage guy....picking up the backs. As for peeling off blocks.......I don't know, but he is young enough to get stronger and better at this. With the limited playing time, I don't expect this unwarranted rep to disappear anytime soon.
I personally like our starters and each of our backups at each LBer position....including McCoy.
