ESPN: Vikings' McNabb Won't to Alter Motion, Footwork

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Donovan McNabb has only one turnover in three games for the Minnesota Vikings. His predecessor, Brett Favre, had seven by this point last season. But McNabb has been struggling with his accuracy. Several throws have been uncatchable, either one-hoppers that landed well short of receivers or air ? that sailed over the heads of his targets.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier mentioned this week that the team is examining McNabb's mechanics during practice to determine how to improve his accuracy.

McNabb says he doesn't believe a change in his motion or footwork is necessary. He says his self-evaluation is broader than that, but he's always striving for improvement.

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.
