Twitter: McCarthy press conference today - 03/25/21

[Rockport]

Why because she's a female?

Seems very short sighted of you, but on brand nonetheless.

No because she’s a reporter smart ***

Watkins: "Does Oline need to be revamped?"

MMc: "When you have a healthy Oline that starts 16 games in a row, you will have success (mentioned Saints). Statistically the health of the Oline lines up with W/L record. We just need to get healthy. We just got unlucky last year with both Tackles out."

 

[Rockport]

Listening to Big Mac just reinforces my initial view of him.

He's a clown and a charleton.

It's no great surprise that players were failing on assignments last season as I don't even understand what he's talking about.

Fluff.

Good grief the guy is a joke.

What would you know? You don’t

 

[phenyx2]

What the hell does she know about football? Nothing.

Not much but she’s easier on the eyes than Ed Werder.

 

[BulletBob]

Thoughts on backup QB position?

MMc: "Still looking at it. You want a lot of competition there. Still looking to bring in more people to compete."

 

[Risen Star]

Misogynist.

What did you learn about yourself after your first year?

The pressure of adversity ... I'm just privileged to be back in the NFL ... I'm glad to be back. So the pressure and privilege - glad to have both."

And both tackles coming back off major surgeries. The LT with past history of ailments/missing games and the RT's still actual undisclosed car wreck and/or hip concerns.
I would not put all the Jones Hope strategy in both of these 2 returning to all pro performers or not getting hurt again. I would take Sewell/Slater at #10. Whichever is available.

That investment has to be fully protected as best as possible.

Hopefully they're talking to Lee about coaching positions : ).

 

[visionary]

Props to Jerry for letting his head coach speak today.

jerry will let him speak?

 

[cowboyblue22]

a lot of talk but didnt say much

 

[Denim Chicken]

Few guys I believe are still available:

Alex Smith
Chase Daniel
Colt McCoy
A.J. McCarron
RG3
Matt Barkley
Nate Sudfelid
Nick Mullins

McCoy would be my choice

Mullins is still recovering from surgery

 

[BulletBob]

Agreed.

Only things I heard of importance:

• Crawford retiring
• Keanu starting with LB coaches (as suspected)
• Still talking to Sean Lee about returning
• Aldon Smith is not a final decision (in McCarthy's mind)
• Big Mac can do a cartwheel (but did not provide video evidence)

The PC could have lasted less than 2 minutes. Very few probing questions were asked.

Gotta love it when your head coach is happy just to have a job.

Winning? Well that would be nice, but.....

I guess we can now hope the idea that a team takes on the personality of its HC isn't true.

Only what Jerry tells him to say

------Parcells is 3rd best behind Landry and Jimmy.

Don't you EVER list Jimmy behind Laundry or ANY Head Coach....dead or alive.

and your pro bowl OG and your backup swing tackle and your starting center for some games no worries though.
