How do you see the competition level in the AFC North currently?
The NFC North are finally winning games. Ravens got into the win column and the Steelers are on a 2 game streak. I think we will outplay the expectations many have set for us.
When the schedules were released this past offseason, analysts said you had one of the easier schedules they've seen. Do you see it that way as well?
I do, and we haven't necessarily taken advantage of it dropping some games we could have won. The easier part is behind us and we have a few tough games upcoming.
Can you speak to the overall team health?
We've had several key injuries to start the season. Rookie RB K.Mitchell was on shelf first 4 weeks so we are finally expecting him back week 5. Trenton Simpson went down week 1 and will also return week 5. Finally, we were without Mark Andrews week 4, as he will also return.
