Update the transcript is up. When asked about penalties, Coach said:

"It's a concern, especially the number of them. It's frustrating too. Because there's some of them, you don't know what to tell your defensive players. Everybody knows we play man-to-man, we're at the point in the season, really in the second year of our defense, and you are attacked each week with certain types of pass plays, a lot of them we refer to them as cross country, crossing routes, and pick plays, blatant pick plays, and things like that. We're running into some situations where we feel the defender has established his territory and there are collisions there. Some of them have gone against us of late, and I'm hopeful that they'll balance out. But we're not going to change the way we play. That's the way we play, that's who we are. We're always going to err on the side of being physical. We're a bump-and-run team. We teach the technique, get your hands inside, every single day, and we'll continue to do that. But I can't deny the penalties and the number of yards that we've given up is a concern."

McCarthy also talked about Bubba Franks, saying he is still a couple of weeks away.
