From the episode

What did you think about the J.J. McCarthy packages? We got a little glimpses of in that Giants game because he was taking a couple snaps with some like like RPO handoff things. And I'm like, is McCarthy becoming like they try to use the game? I'm like, taste some hell. I was like, wait, what? It was weird. I'm like, I guess they want to get him in the offense.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

J.J. McCarthy getting offensive snaps but taking hits; not a runner threat.

Taking snaps in RPO handoff packages in Giants game; source speculates they're trying to get him into offense but doesn't view McCarthy as a weapon as a runner; took big hits on snaps.
