Chargers..Coach Mike McCoy…..Monday press conference…
“We didn’t play well…too many penalties…you can’t turn the ball over like we did.
Amazing record Philip Rivers accomplished-considering who the man is whose record he broke
You’re going to have some penalties in game for trying to make a play-but dead ball penalties should never occurr.
We value the football-don’t ever think ball protection is not part of who we are.
Yes-Melvin Gordon had 4-big chunk plays-and yes he had just 2-touches in the final 25-minutes…but the flow of the game dictated we use Danny Woodhead…Melvin will get more key snaps as we go on this season.
We have to play better at point of attack on defense-run defense is ‘give and take’, you make some plays, you give up yards.
Brandon Flowers is a corner on an island-sometimes you get beat.
Brandon Flowers-said ‘communications problems’ in secondary led to 3-Bengals TD passes…says Cincinnati coordinator Hue Jackson ran formations with motion-San Diego had never seen before leading to breakdowns-mistakes in San Diego secondary.
