When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.
We had a couple of injuries and didn't play too well. We need to all be better, starting with me. That's the part that needs to be taken care of. Every individual needs to get a little bit better. Good things will happen when that takes place.
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.
He's done a nice job with the young kids. They all look up to him, respect him. He's always done what he needs to do. He's a good example.
He understands that it needs to be done, so he's matter-of-fact about it right now.
This should heal up. It may take six to nine weeks to get right.
T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.
There are always things that are going to happen, ... Anytime you deal with 88 guys, things are going to happen.
There are a lot of things we need to clean up before we get to the regular season. We just got to knock some of the rust off. There are certain things I was very happy with, and there are other things we need to polish up.
There are a couple of reasons. On a couple of them, they've been overloaded on that side, and that got us into a little trouble. There have been some guys that have just come free, and we need to block better. We will get that straightened out.
With David's situation, we're looking at some other kickers to bring in here, just in case he can't perform.
When I say I've got to do my part, I've got to get him into a better situation,
We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.
We're not on vacation. We're down here to play a football game.
