Twitter: McCarthy on penalties: “This is preseason”

Yeah.

That's not a good answer.

That's a no accountability answer.

This sounds like a man that knows he's gone and frankly, if his answer is any indication of how he really feels, then I prefer him gone. We don't need this mindset in the locker room, especially as the head coach.

Basically letting them off the hook. NO accountability.

He has week 1 to prove its different.

Is it to much to ask to have the coach use the stick every once in a while instead of always using the carrot?

It won’t change. It’ll hinder the entire season / postseason. Then he will demand better next season

Jerry doesn't like alpha coaches.

Yep............over making the team accountable.

Yes its the preseason and as anyone who has ever done anything you become what you practice and if you are committing penalties now you will be committing them later. It also does not help that the Cowboys have a reputation for committing penalties now so refs will be looking for them (also known as Raiders syndrome).

Joint practices this week and preseason game v. Chargers upcoming Saturday night.

I actually wasnt making a big deal about it, but comments like that to the media are what leads to no accountability. If this is his attitude, I dont see how he expects things to change.

So my question here is do you really think those two holding calls on Tyler Smith are warranted? If not then you will see why he can’t answer with something tangible because half of these calls are sham calls

Take those 2 calls away then.

There were still 16 penalties.

You should expect better.

Nah I'll wait until the bucs game. It better be a disciplined effort. You don't beat Tom Brady being undisciplined.

McCarthy against Tampa “this is week 1”

 

[Majic]

Becoming a trend now McCarthy's issues with the media. Seems to 'have a go at them' whenever the opportunity arises

I thought one was a hold and one wasnt.

Your barking up the wrong tree if your going with the ref conspiracy thing.

Most people dont beat Tom Brady. They are the better team, but they do have some big injuries and we are home.

I can't take McCarthy anymore, hope Jerry cans his arse...

 

[stuckindc]

nah man… if he says that he talked about it with the team after the game you guys will still sh** on him… there is no right answer here for this man not to get criticized unfairly

It’s been the same thing since he arrived. Nothing has changed. Are they just gonna miraculously stop committing the same penalties as soon as the regular season begins? Post above is right, zero accountability. Players aren’t afraid of any repercussions. No discipline.
