Mac Jones is predicted to begin towards Las Vegas on Sunday, Invoice O’Brien says

“It’s a collective effort, that’s why it’s not a 1-on-1 sport,” O’Brien continued. “It’s an 11-man sport. We’re making an attempt to get 11 guys on the identical web page and doing the suitable factor on each play and proper now we’re not close to doing that. So it’s not about one man however because the quarterback, you’re going to shoulder plenty of that and he understands that.”

“It’s what it’s. We’ve received to get it higher,” O’Brien stated. “All people understands what their function is in it. As a quarterback, you’re the point of interest. All people understands that, so that you shoulder plenty of blame. However, on the finish of the day, it’s a group sport and all of us need to do our half.”
