Twitter: McCarthy to go easier on the team down the stretch

[RonnieT24]

Health is most important, if the coach has a finger on the pulse of the team and sees that many guys are dealing with nagging injuries then by all means configure the practice schedule to allow them to get better collectively.

I’m of the opinion that at this point in the season the practice focus is more schematic than physical. If that’s true I don’t have any issue with the idea.

While I don't disagree I just worry about the StayPuft mentality creeping in if we back off too much. If guys are dealing with nagging injuries then give those guys veteran days.. but keep the rest of the team on the grind. The fact of the matter is we know nobody is 100% healthy this time of year. A team known to be soft can't afford to be giving in to nicks and bruises.

how about if they cut down the penalty u give them the shorter day

or some thing like that

Exactly.....let them EARN it!!!

I think it's just McCarthy that needs to take it easy and he's blaming it on the players.

He's probably also upping their calorie intake.

I shoulda known you'd beat me to the fat jokes.

I think you keep the practice times the same but replace some of the physical work in the film room and meetings. Also, wouldn't mind seeing him pull nicked up players in the 4th quarter of games given we have a good lead late in the game.

A very good idea.

Nailed it, StayPuft mentality.
Bob has previously mentioned the missing mental toughness as well.

Pathetic if ya ask me, but I may not be the best reference as I'm not his biggest fan to begin with.

Man up, bro. Playoffs are around the corner.

I would just cancel practice all together and have them just play madden to get ready for the weeks opponent

 

[morat1959]

I agree. This is a relatively young team with no championship experience. They need more Jimmy and less Barry.

Nailed it!

 

[Cowpolk]

Let's not act like this is just how Super Bowl winning coaches do it. Jimmy would rather resign than ease up on them entering the playoffs.

Every coach is different.

Tom never changed but was in decline at the end When Jerry showed up

Prescott's thumb would never last.

Or maybe that's your idea.

You clever little fan boy.

Someone is getting the training schedule set up for the coming up journey on the road to the top.
Change is good for the head, make us stay in focus.

 

[phildadon86]

Que all the armchair coaches to tell a Super Bowl winning coach how to prepare for the playoffs. Trust me folks on this forum will know a better way.

He won a superbowl in a different era where they could practice much harder and had padded practices more than twice a week. So sorry if the “armchair” coaches want these players pushed to the limits weekly.

Daylight savings time strikes again, or something.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

I wonder what the other Super Bowl aspiring teams are doing?

He is still a pudge ball but is smaller than last year

 

[Praxit]

..relax gents. There's a reason Mike gets paid the big bucks.

And another reason, your fans with opinions. ..

 

[charron]

The veterans could use a little time off but get those young guys and backups the extra reps. Guys who barely making the 53 need extra reps. Tolbert needs the extra work, nashon wright needs it, along with a few others.

 

[Ranching]

So coming in an hour later for practice is gonna be the difference maker huh? I'm sure Jimma gasped when he heard the news.

Some of these guys have NO clue....they criticize everything or crack one liners....
