Ball Security A Concern With Eagles Rookie WR Jeremy Maclin

In terms of developing a young returner like Jeremy Maclin, Eagles special teams coordinator Ted Daisher said it's "a process" that is based heavily on ball security and making good decisions. Maclin muffed a pair of return opportunities in the first two preseason games, and both the rookie and his coach know that it is unacceptable. "It's a huge concern," Daisher said. "We can't have it. I met with him yesterday and he's aware of it. He understands the importance of ball security. It's the No. 1 thing we have to do. At the end of every punt and kickoff return, our No. 1 job is to make sure that our offense takes the field. And putting the ball on the ground, we can't do that. He has to be more aware of when he's in traffic to secure the football....That's what happened on the kickoff return. He was trying to make a play, running around in traffic, the ball got loose. We can't have that. That's something that has to get corrected immediately. We've addressed it, and he knows the importance of it. He's has to secure the football in traffic and he has to make better decisions." Maclin understands completely and he is not making excuses for either of the miscues. "There's no excuse for either one of them," Maclin said. "I'd rather get them out of the way in the preseason than in the regular season. Hopefully, we won't be seeing that again."
