Some would say this team has the toughest remaining schedule ahead. How do you prepare for such a difficult remaining schedule?
Preparing for a difficult schedule is like preparing for an easier schedule, the process is the same. You have to film study, put in the work, and develop a plan that attacks the weakness of your opponent.
How quickly can you tell if a young player is a football player if he thinks about it because it seems like at the Combine they’re all saying the right thing and it’s the job. How quickly does it take?
You can tell the extent of a player by the way they put in the work on and off the field. They are the first one in and last one out.
I want to ask you about the receiver position in general. How have you seen that position evolve in importance over the years and how does having a player like WR Puka Nacua sort of factor into that perspective?
Puka Nacua is the nucleus of our offense, he is a young receiver that has blossomed into his role. He is a reliable and steady pass catch that is one of the captain’s on the offense.
