(On the performance of Gardner Minshew II) “Just a great job today on extending plays, finding soft spots in the defense and delivering balls to guys, letting those guys work in space, the way that they were playing up close and having safeties back. We played a lot better against the two-man coverage today. When defenses drop that many people the quarterback has to create time, and Gardner [Minshew II] did a great job of that today and made some good plays.”
(On if his struggles against the Saints and Panthers motivated him) “A lot. We pride ourselves on not backing down from anybody, and in those [games] we didn’t produce the way we feel like we should have we. We’ve come in, watch the tape and we deemed that we have to better on third downs. We were better on third downs today. We need to be better in the red zone. We were a little bit better, but there’s still a lot of room to improve if we want to be the kind of offense we want to be. We have to score two more times in the red zone today, and we can’t have those field goals. We’re continuing to improve. These guys haven’t giving up at all.”
(On a developing a relationship with Gardner Minshew II) “We are taking the time to work with each other and talk through some things and the looks that we get. Today was a result of some of those conversations.”
(On being surprised on his run today) “I wasn’t surprised. Everybody gives me a hard time because they consider me an old man. In league years, I’m not that old. I’m old relative to this locker room, but I have to remind them that the oldest guy out there had the fastest speed on the field today.”
