Over your career, what makes a team better at not turning the ball over as the season goes along? What kind of things you need to emphasize? How much of it is coaching? How much of it is a mental part? Physical part?
Honestly it's not just one thing. It's a unit working cohesively all on the same page. The game we play is chess on on a grass field, and there are so many intricacies that are involved in every play. Everyone has to be doing their job in order for a team to play a clean football game. Every week is about fine tuning one thing here and there to get to sustain that level of play consistently.
The offense in general is having a bit of a slow start, but it’s early and there’s still a lot of talent on that side of the ball. So is your thought process that it’ll work itself out and the points will come or do you feel like you need to change something, fix something?
There are a few things we need to work out. I think we could definitely simplify a couple things, and we are also working with a young guy. However, we love what Kellen Mond can do for us, and we think he is just getting started. We look forward to his tenure here with us, and that's our guy!
What stands out about your opponent's offense?
I think it all starts with Justin Fields. We saw last year just how electric he was. Although the bears didn't exactly have the best season, we know what he is capable of on any snap, and we'll hone in on him in this coming weeks game.
