1. Big win today vs Coach Kenny, coming into the game, your squad were favorited. You started off pretty slow but things soon changed, what did you see out there?
Definitely started slow, but we tightened up. Gave up an explosive td due to a bust by one of our guys, but we corrected it. They tried that same play a few more times but ended up taking sacks due to our guys strapping up (pause if needed). Saw everything I expected…a lot of man coverage and basic spot drop zone on D…under center run game and bunch when a play was needed on O.
2. CJ is playing like a future AFC rookie of the year, maybe he gets AFC player of the week with that performance. He's completing about 70% of his passes and has a QBR of 111.9%. I'm sure you guys feel like the right choice was made picking him up in the draft.
CJ has been playing well, and he knows there is another level he has to ascend to. He is the face of the franchise and has accepted a leadership role on this team. He is everything we expected and more. We will continue to add weapons for him through the draft.
3. That was a clutch TD before half time. Why did you decide to throw instead of the guaranteed FG?
I have 100% confidence in CJ’s ability to make the right reads and throws. We will always aim to end our opponents, and you do that with touchdowns, not field goals.
4. Next up you have what some might call a PRIME TIME game vs Mikey and the Steelers. He's averaging around 35 points in his last 2 games. You've given up about 13 points in the last 3. This should be a really big test for you.
We play and coach a sound, physical defense. We look forward to the challenge.
5. Lastly, coach, any messages for the fans or any final thoughts on today's game?
We appreciate the support our fans showed on the road, it was a lot of red in those stands…felt like a home game. Keep bringing that juice every week, we feed off of it.
