The players are use to McCarthy’s random tweaks.  For example, last season he instituted the “get rid of the ball” timer for his quarterbacks in hopes to create a mental timer in their minds.  Another move this year is the “TV timeouts” where they take water breaks in the middle of practice with music playing over the speakers.  Defensive Lineman B.J Raji is a fan of McCarthy’s unique thinking…

The team has morning practices Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, all in full pads with 8:20 AM starts.  The lone night practice comes Friday night at 7:00 and will be in full pads.
