Transcript: Bengals Head Coach Press Conference


The team is on quite a win streak currently, can you explain the preparation the team has gone through this season so far in order to achieve this amount of success?

We've just been able to build upon our offense since season 1 and add key parts/depth around the team to help us succeed in situations that we used to have troubles in. I think the biggest part of our game is that when we are able to get comfortable we are unstoppable in both the passing and running game. We just need to be able to thrive better in situations where we are uncomfortable but that goes for any team. We are looking to continue this win streak against a tough opponent who knocked us out of the playoffs in the Raiders.




What are your thoughts about the Raiders going into this week?

A solid team led by a solid head coach. They are the epitome of a bunch of gruden grinders playing hard and tough to win a game. The biggest threat to that squad is their run game, their passing attack has some flaws with the rookie at the helm but they have been preforming much better with him than Derek Carr. Should be a great game and i'm looking forward to it.

Can you summarize what it was like playing against the Falcons last week?

We just had to make sure to keep the ball in Ridders hands in a rain game, the Falcons are a formidable opponent despite their record and we knew going into this game that we had to stop their run and force them to pass if we wanted any chance of success against this team. Papagreeny is a fantastic headcoach and hopefully he'll get the respect he deserves around the league that team is a hard team to coach.
