1. McCarthy said they used both calls on the D line in nickel (Jet and Scared S***less) so he refused to judge the overall play of the nickel pressure successful or wanting.
2. Lacy was not "detailed" in his play in the first half. Clearly meant to indicate his head was located in his posterior on some plays. McCarthy still seems overall quite positive, said no huddle doesn't make that easier but this would explain the beefy one's absence and Starks re-emergence in the 2nd Quarter. M3 did say he expects Lacy to be a 3 down back.
3. Wished they had not practiced Burnett on Wed and Thurs as it ended up limiting prep time for Doc and McMillan to Friday. Did not say if it was re-injury or simply was not responding.
4. One injury note (missed a portion of this) was a stinger for Nick Perry. Thompson should just trade all his first round picks outside the Top 10.
5. Asked about Jolly M3 said glad to see him in there but then said something about young players not responding well to the environment and that increased his snap count. That would have to be Wilson early having trouble. I don't think I saw Jones at DE in base 3-4 even early.
6. Clay made bad decision for right reasons but did not like his leaving his feet. Got explanation about call and notice that League now says the offsetting penalty should not have been called on Staley. Which is probably correct in hindsight but the only reason its coming up now is to avoid more Packer related Twitter storms about getting jobbed by the refs. Because while Clay was lucky, refs still blew the call they made on the field.
7. Communication was OK in back end though he thought the safeties were a step slow reacting to route concepts in several instances.
8. Not concerned about coverage adjustment to Boldin, two of the bigger plays (TD and 4th down catch for first) he was double covered).
9. Didn't start well on offense (this is where he mentioned Lacy again). But biggest disappointment was last 8 minutes of game.
10. Spotters in booth told McCarthy 4th down play was inches not just a yard from where Gore would be spotted and he thought that 3rd and almost 6 was better. Spotters initially thought he got the first.
11. Not great day for KOR, either blocking or Ross.
12. Thought Bach and Barclay handled the game well.
