Transcript: Buccaneers Head Coach Press Conference





How does the loss this week prepare you for the next game?

After a loss I don't like to panic and worry about the future, I like to take those losses to show myself I need to lock in more. I can't just show up to a game and call whatever I want without a care. After a 72-14 blowout you kind of find yourself feeling comfortable and rusty because we played half a game pretty much. So next week we need to lock in, play our game, and win against a division rival to throw ourselves back on track.


























How much of a problem is Jonathan Allen on the defensive line?

He's a one man wrecking crew. It seems impossible to run the ball at times vs Allen. Playing the Rams multiple times and the Commanders multiple times… I'd say Allen is more of a factor than Donald, so that should tell you what you need to know when it comes to how big of a problem Allen is.






















How would you assess where your team is near the halfway point of the season?

I would say average. We have good wins like the Rams, then bad losses like vs the Panthers. Without Brady I would say a 5-3 start is pretty d*** good. We made some moves before the deadline to help take the stress of the QB situation. We have a few tough matchups remaining. All we need to do is maintain the division lead and we will be sitting pretty.
