Post Game Press Conference:

Press: Good win, we saw a much better performance by Bridgewater, much more balanced game. What adjustments did you make this week?

Coach: We just worked on his reads, nothing special really. He did great out today, he did have the one interception near the endzone, which is never good, took points off the board.


Press: Game was close in the end, seemed things got a bit conservative. It came out in your favor this time, but do you think maybe you guys get a little too conservative too soon? The second half you guys just controlled the ball with the long drives, not really being aggressive about scoring. Had the defense, not done so well in shutting their offense, it may not have worked out so well.

Coach: No, I think we played it as we should have. You get too aggressive out there and mistakes happen. They had a good drive in the second half, but defense buckled down and kept them off the field. Offensively, we did play a little conservative, but we got the key 3rd down conversions that allowed us to control the clock. As long as it comes out to a win, I'm fine with that game plan.

Press: The offensive line held up well, not allowing any sacks giving Bridgewater time to make plays, you picked up a few guys in the off season, but for the most part same squad out there. What has changed out there?

Coach: Guys are getting more experienced, we have more depth in some key positions now. We also have changed some of our play calling to handle the more aggressive defensive lines.

Press: Next week you have Carolina on the road. They have not won yet this season but will be hungry for a win at home. They like to get after the quarterback and get turnovers. Do you foresee this as a problem for your offensive line?

Coach: We'll come prepared. We are aware of their defensive line and we'll be game planning with that in mind.
