Until you start to blitz him and stop the run. When you stop the run and start blitzing him, now you force the ball to be in his hands for decisions to be made. That's when you'll see the J.J. McCarthy that we've seen throughout his first couple of years in Minnesota.

McNabb: McCarthy's success depends on run game; blitzing exposes his limitations.

Donovan McNabb expressed serious reservations about McCarthy's hype with the Giants, arguing that his success at Michigan came in a West Coast system that asked him to manage the game with a strong running game and quick/intermediate throws. McNabb noted McCarthy's mobility is serviceable but not elite, and crucially, when defenses stop the run and blitz him, he is forced into decision-making situations where he struggles—'that's when you'll see the J.J. McCarthy that we've seen throughout his first couple of years in Minnesota,' implying poor performance under pressure.
