How do you feel about your team's depth chart after the offseason changes?
We definitely are happy with the 53 we have on the team. Our personnel guys are still discussing what we are going to do with our practice squad spots, and I am anxious to see who becomes available as we move through the season. Its a long season and sometimes you will need to bring in a guy that may not be on your radar at this point of the season.
Which young player do you predict will break out this season?
Have to go with CJ Smith and Shadeur Sanders as 1A and 1B. Those two guys are tethered together in the film room, in the locker room, on the practice field, after practice. That kind of relationship will only help their connection on the field. I am excited to watch those two guys grow with the help of Adams and Case constantly in their ear of course.
What measures did you take to reduce the risk of injuries during training camp and the preseason?
We strapped up the laces and played ball. We obviously took precaution and took out a few key guys at half time or at certain junctures of the game, but our guys wanted to play and get that experience and get into the flow of the season. Look the only way you can practice football is play football. You can't practice being hit. Hit and get hit. I appreciate the team was ready to go to battle immediately.
