Video Transcript
Wherever you guys are, what, what did you make of Fernando's performance tonight?
I think there's plenty to clean up, plenty, plenty to get better at, um, you know, plenty that we can do better for him as coaches, plenty that he can learn from, um, but, uh, what great heart that we, uh, we showed in the second half.
The whole, whole team, offense, defense, I'm really proud of our guys.
Uh, Clint, well, you know, with Kirk Cousins not playing along with like Max and other guys, is it safe to say Kirk will be your starting quarterback at week one.
You know, it's, we, we got another week.
We're playing, you know, I don't want anyone to be comfortable in their job.
That's how it should , it should always be that way from all positions.
So, um, you know, we'll keep going forward.
Can you talk about the decision, please, Clint, to rest so many starters on defense?
What, what your thinking processes are, please?
Yeah, when, uh, that was the plan all along, you know, when we have those joint practices, they get so many reps, uh, that joint practice is the game, and that's the guys understood that going in.
And that's how we decided to play it.
What did you see on the, on the pick six, but then also the response to kind of settle down pretty quickly and and get into a rhythm?
Yeah, the response doesn't, that doesn't, that's, that's who he is.
Um, I think the defensively they covered the play really well and the backer did a great job stepping, stepping in front of our checkdown.
I gotta go watch it, but, um, yeah, the response is what we come to expect from him.
What's the concern level with the number of penalties, especially on special teams?
I'm very concerned, you know, 2 weeks in a row, that's on me as a coach.
Most of them, a lot of them on special teams, I think 5 of them, um, so that's on me to get that cleaned up.
I said the same thing last week, so I better figure it out real quick.
