“You certainly have those conversations and you understand it’s about being able to correct,” McVay told reporters. “Negative experiences without teaching I think this is where you lose morale. It’s really important to be able to have teaching and let’s apply it.
“Kyren is so conscientious. In a lot of instances, he is such a great competitor. That’s one of his best traits that you’re saying, ‘When you were doing this, let’s understand what a great job these defenses do at attacking the football. Where are we leaving ourselves susceptible and what can we do to try to [be] able to give ourselves the best chance to get as many yards as possible while also not potentially giving the football up?’ I trust him being able to move forward. He’s always been a guy that has been mentally tough. He’s been able to respond and I think that’s going to be reflected moving forward.”
