This is from a part of his presser that was left out: Mike McCarthy said
"Our pad level is too high. Thats on me. We'll look at the tape and get it fixed. Aaron also needs to get rid of the ball faster. He needs to be able to take the snap, and throw it from between the center's legs so he can avoid sacks. And Ryan Grant has been a real workhorse. Sure, he's only average 2 yards a carry, but they are very hard earned yards. It's not easy to avoid obvious holes to put yourself in a position to have to fight for every inch.
COACH, WHAT ABOUT THAT DROP BY LEE IN THE ENDZONE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOUCHDOWN?
"Was that Lee? Well....to be fair, he's a tight end. And with the way our offensive line has been playing, our tight ends have been in blocking on every down. So he was so caught off guard to actually have a pass thrown to him, I can totally understand his confusion."
YOUR THIRD DOWN DEFENSE WAS TERRIBLE AGAINST THE VIKINGS. EVERY TIME THEY GOT THE VIKINGS IN A 3RD AND LONG, THEY CONVERTED. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?
"Hey....why don't you concentrate on the first 2 downs where we pretty much stopped them? Thats 2 out of 3, which is a good percentage."
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE BY WEEK?
"Well, I figure this will give me time to look at the tape and fix everything thats wrong."
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT, COACH?
"I'm going to go through the film and erase every 3rd down we had on defense."
