Transcript: Bengals Head Coach Press Conference












Can you talk about what it’s like to prepare to go against a player like George Kittle?

It's hard to contain a player of that caliber. All we can do is put our best defensive player on him and try to scheme a couple designs to help limit his targets and success on the field.


What is the status of Xavier Thomas and when is he set to return?

Xavier Thomas will be back shortly, he's been having some problems in his left leg and is finally starting to get back on the practice field for the end of the season.






Over your career, what makes a team better at not turning the ball over as the season goes along? What kind of things you need to emphasize? How much of it is coaching? How much of it is a mental part? Physical part?

It's all about the connection the Quarterback has with their wide receivers and offensive coodinator.. If all three parties can be in sync then turning the ball over is something that won't happen often.



Some would say this team has the toughest remaining schedule ahead. How do you prepare for such a difficult remaining schedule?

Take one game at a time, with Burrow coming back to lead this team should be back on it's feet. Everyone knows we are not even a human player without the god Joe Burrow. Might as well set our controllers down while he's on the field that will bring us the most success.
