Transcript: Commanders Head Coach Press Conference




What were the keys to the team’s victory this week?

Commanders came into this game needing a win. We had to control the game, needed to make big plays on defense, make Ridder beat us in the air. We had a conservative game plan for Sam Howell today and ran it a bunch to keep the Falcons defense on the field.



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

A lot of mental mistakes. We shot ourselves in the foot on the opening drive and were never really able to get comfortable in the running game.



Can you talk about the development of Emmanuel Forbes Jr so far?

Huge leader on this defense and in this locker room. Has 2 interceptions and 8 tackles. Look for him to step up in key spots later in the season.



How has Taylor Lewan’s experience in the league helped the team so far?

Got him to get off the Bus from Bussin w the boys and he his a help addition to this offensive line.
