Mack needs to take better care of the ball, but Flowers should be option number one around the goal line, not Mack or DJ or anyone else.

That is the second turnover Mack has done after a big play.  So, please stop handing off to him after he runs 40 plus yards.

Problem is you sub out and it slows down the tempo. The better solution is Mack putting two hands on the ball when running between tackles. More concerned about Adam's fumbles.

No, it wasn't reviewed and it should have been.  It was clearly a fumble but it looked like Mack got the ball back.  Seems to have been taken from him in the pileup after the whistle.

Maybe substitute. Maybe Q should keep it. But in any event, Mack needs to hold onto the ball whenever he has it. Period. End of story.

I feel like Mack has done enough for the team to where we can give him the opportunity to prove that he can have a large gain and still punch it into the end zone without costing the team. We can give him that much because our football team is high-powered. Even if we don't get the score, the defense will take care of the job.

It's frustrating to see it happen twice like it did but I don't think they are related. He just needs to be better at ball control. 

Still, it's a good sign when we complain about not scoring more in a win. Been a while since we've had that type of problem!

A while?

This is uncharted territory for us, we've NEVER had an offense that could literally score at will.

I LIKE complaining about not scoring enough when we're winning going away. Feels so GOOD!!!!!

Wrong answer.  The correct answer is for Mack to just secure the ball better.  Football 101.  Taught in peewee football.  4 points of contact with the football, hand, forearm, bicep, and chest.  When you do this, you don't fumble

Players at every level keep playing after a long run.  If a 40 yard run is going to gas you so much that you can't secure football, then do more conditioning.

Stop running Mack after is big play is the most logical thing I've read onTBP. Ever !  It's that simple.

Number one thing you preach to your backs as a coach is ball security.  A lot of time is spent on this.

If you properly secure the ball through traffic, you won't fumble.  It's really as simple as that.  If you maintain 4 points of contact on ball, you won't fumble.  Period.
