On having to get things corrected in the passing game and if that’s common in a new system
“You don’t want it to be that way. You want to go out and execute. The second half of that ball game is probably as poorly as we’ve executed since we started training camp … for whatever reason. We can get back and execute the way we did early in the football game.”
On the challenge of going up against a Pat Narduzzi coached defense, particularly what they do in the secondary
“You’re going to see a bunch of man-press based out of quarters, but they’ll play multiple coverages out of it. They’re a well-coached team in all three phases of the game. They’re going to be tough and physical – that’s out on the perimeter and that’s inside the core, too. So, you got to be tough, you got to have strain, you got to play with a physical presence. That’s going to be important for us out on the perimeter, it’ll be true for the guys in the core, too.”
On how he would rate the physicality of his wide receivers through camp and game one
“Those guys are tough (and) physical. We put them in those situations every single day. I anticipate them to play with a great competitive edge on Saturday afternoon.”
