Q: What’s the psyche of the team as you all try to regroup after another tough loss?
A: Everybody is disappointed and angry. We came in Monday, watched the film and saw a few things that we need to do differently and some things we did really well. We'll try and build on those. We have to put it behind us. We have to move on.
Q: How can the offense improve?
A: Consistency is huge. That's probably the thing that we have done a great job of for the last couple of weeks is consistently playing the way that we are capable of. I think that we've had spurts where we've done it really, really well. But continuing to do that snap after snap, series after series, and really, week after week, is what we have to get back to. It starts this week.
Q: What have you seen from Minnesota defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Sharrif Floyd?
A: They are excellent. Their front seven is very, very solid. They do a great job in terms of their scheme. They don't do a ton of things on first and second down, but they are very sound in what they do. They've got very good players. On third down, they have an extensive pressure package where they put pressure on you in terms of your pass protection. They make sure that you're on top of your rules. They'll bring guys from any where at any time. We have to be on top of that. They do a really nice job on the defensive side of the ball.
