Spoke on third downs and said they need to work on them, and said the Lions out executed us on the last drive.
Talked about having a chance to win every game so far in the first half and how we need to execute better down the stretch
Defensively we were disappointed...uncharacteristic...things to correct and we are going to work on it and get better at it.
Big focus on QB....had a very prosperous first half and has grown and shown his character and athleticism, but he needs to improve just like the rest of the team, especially on third down and redzone
We are good at running, becoming more proficient at passing...rock solid in Special teams....looking for more big plays there. Going to continue to ride the defense
Against the lions we made a few mistakes of guys being just a little out of place and they took advantage of every one of them.
Pointed out the Linebackers as a group that had some trouble executing.
Said we just weren't as sharp as we should have been. We'll continue to improve.
asked about not enough pressure in 3rd and long, he said that our 4 man rushes weren't very effective. Said our rush timing was a little off and that we missed having Jones out there this week.
Said he thought it was the most solid performance so far for Wilson...called Wagner a surprise for being as far along as he is, but said Bruce is doing what they expected so far.
They thought Stafford would throw more down the field, and were a bit surprised at how much he used the quick underneath passes instead of the big plays you generally see from the Lions.
Said he'd like to see us in the low 30 to upper 20 percent on 3rd down conversions (I believe we are in the 40's off the top of my head)
Asked about the challenge flag....said it was a "blunder"..said he "screwed up". Pretty much repeated what he said earlier on KIRO
Asked about the types of calls being made on 3rd and long being different and he said sure they are different. (didn't really expound on it more than to say teams aren't expected to run)
Called the Miller TD throw/catch "terrific"
Likes the way the penalties are coming around and looks like it could be a factor that works for us in the second half.
Asked if being on the road affects the pass rush... He said he thinks it's more that being at home affects the rush more than being away affects it.
Robinson and Obo....they are seeing specialists and he doesn't know
Tate is ok
We'll know more later on injuries.....longshot on Baldwin this week
Still talking about possibilities with Thurmond coming back
Edwards has "a condition" stiff knee with swelling. Says there's no damage, they have to see how it goes, but they anticipate that he'd be ok.
Says they are looking at all the options right now with the injuries piling up on WR
Asked about Lynch and he said how much of a team player he is. Said he's got great heart, great style and it was nice to see him get a chance to show some speed for a change.
Said Turbin's been a good spark off the bench. He runs the whole game plan. Blocks well, catches well and that he's doing his part in special teams.
No questions or answers in regard to injuries to either Lynch or Turbin (for those who wanted to know
