QB School coverage of Mac vs Bills
Mac admitted exactly that in his post-game presser.Really good stuff. Does he do this every week, every Pats game?
Comment on the brain fart Mac had around the 12-13 minute mark where he just loses it on the footwork- it's typically an indication that he's dropped his eyes which is a bad habit he has. I'm sure they're working on him to get him to stop dropping his eyes because when the eyes go, the footwork goes to **** and he's in fight or flight mode.
One thing I really wish they would teach him is to just go down, just take the L on the snap. Stop being a hero.

I think he drops his eyes when he is panicking, which he did on that play. JT commented on that too and said at times this year Mac has looked "broken" and he (JT) had not seen that panic from him before this year.
On the positive side, JT went out of his way to praise Mac's footwork this game. He and other commentators have commented that sloppy footwork from Mac this year has been a major contributor to his bad play.
He's clearly getting lots of coaching about his footwork. Dan Orlovsky said on air this week that he has been texting Mac about his footwork!
But I think it's all about Mac not losing composure: when he panics his technique goes to hell and he makes bad decisions too.
In his presser Mac also said he sometimes "get too hot", which also suggests maintaining composure is a challenge for him.
Last Sunday was certainly encouraging, and showed that Mac can play at a high level if he can control his demons. Better OL play certainly helped, but I think Mac has to exorcise his panic demon if he is going to make it.

Interesting! I was thinking he needs something like Adderall which is no doubt against the rules. Hypnosis would be permitted, I'm sure.I wonder if sports hypnosis therapy would help Mac to calm down under pressure.
