Quotes from Mac's Monday presser:
"As we put those drives together to kind of get back, the one thing the numbers tell is the third down piece.
Negative plays, the things they create from that standpoint, takeaways, those are things we have to be prepared for and we have to get better in the pass protection piece.
This last game, our numbers had a lot to do with the third-down piece, both not winning on offense and not getting the ball back on defense.
Where does responsibility fall for the lack of tempo: “It’s on me. It’s on me for ultimately not having, from the communication piece, making sure that it’s not too big, right?
Not every play is going to be perfect, but we need to be perfect on those ‘got to have it downs.’ That leads back to the third-down piece, especially against good teams.
On Feleipe Franks: “I think the challenges are, is making sure from a situational standpoint those things, I talked about his growth before, even a week ago in some of those situations, we just need to continue to work on that piece. He’s working on that piece. We’ve got to give him some time to be able to deliver as well. Those are all the pieces that need to come together.
I think at times he goes through with really good command and the flow piece is really good.
We’ve obviously had to use (the tight ends) in protection in that piece as well."
Let me be the first one to tell you this, Coach. They are all Pieces of ****
