Quotes from the Call the Coach show on September 23

About how he gave George Daily-Lyles the option of playing instead of taking a redshirt year, but how he thinks Daily-Lyles can give the special teams a big boost, Mac said:
"It's up to him, but I think he can help us win." (HSB)

Note: The day after Mac said this George Daily-Lyles gave an interview where he made it clear that he would be taking a redshirt season, though he said that the coaches kept trying to convince him to play by putting him on the travel rosters. Then *the very next day* it was decided that Daily-Lyles would *not* redshirt, with Mac talking about how the team needed him to play.


About how they maybe should have jammed the UNLV receiver on the line on the game-winning TD, Mac said:
"Don't get me wrong. I like our corners. But they're young and they've got to learn the game." (HSB)

HSB Note: "McMackin said he is considering putting wide receiver Royce Pollard in as a safety in third-down situations, as well as using two other receivers, Greg Salas and Rodney Bradley, to jam opposing receivers at the line in certain situations."

Letsgowarriors commented: "mack please tell me youre just trying to please the idiotic fans with the idea that you will play WRs at corner. the problem is that you only brought 4 on the pass rush on that play. you said you didnt want to double cover wolfe on that play, yet he drew FOUR defenders which is why tank was left on an island with payne. stop trying to pawn off the blame to your players. you made the wrong call and should have brought more then 4 guys like you usually do in these situations."
