Head Coach Brian Flores Conference Call with Washington Media

(When you have a new coach put in charge, like up here in Washington, how do you guys go about preparing for that?) – “We prepare like we always do. (Interim Head) Coach (Bill) Callahan has been a head coach in this league before, has been a coach in college. They have got a really good group of players there offensively, defensively and in the kicking game. So, we just prepare like we normally do and really we focus on our fundamentals, our techniques, what we want to do and what we feel like we can do to try to execute offensively, defensively, in the kicking game, and just go through our normal preparation.”

(When it comes down to preparing for the quarterbacks, what do you see between the different quarterbacks between Colt McCoy, Case Keenum, and Dwayne Haskins?) – “I think all three are good quarterbacks. (They are) accurate. They all do a good job of getting guys in and out of the huddle, making good decisions – they can get the ball downfield. There is some – just within the offense there is some intricacies within the offense that may pull your eyes in a different direction, so they have done a good job that way. All three quarterbacks are very capable and can do a good job pushing the ball down the field, checking it down then they need to. Again, we have watched all three. All three have strengths and it will be a tough match up whoever is in there.”

(So on your end, how do you go about balancing the reps between your quarterbacks?) – “Our quarterbacks? You talking about Josh Rosen and ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick)?”

(Yes.) – “I would say Josh (Rosen) sees the majority of the snaps you know as the starter. Just like when ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) was the starter, he saw the majority of the snap. I am not going to sit here and give you percentages, but I would say Josh gets most of the reps and ‘Fitz’ gets in there and I think he – him being a veteran and a guy who pretty much has seen everything, done everything – he gets in there a little but less, but we feel like both guys have a good handle on what we are trying to do offensively and we try to get them as many as they need to be able to execute within the game.”

(Now unfortunately, for our end, both teams are winless right now. So when you are coming into this game, what is the mentality of the locker room when you are coming against a team that is winless?) – “Every day to me is – we just try to win the day and win the meeting, win the walkthrough, win the practice. I think to me, and I have expressed this to the team – we just have to go through our process from a meeting standpoint, from a walkthrough standpoint, from a practice standpoint, from a preparation standpoint to when they leave the building and go home and watch film on their own. I think there is a – we just have to be – we have to take a professional approach because I think if we do those things consistently, we get better, we improve, and the results take care of themselves. That is kind of what I have preached to our team really since I got here. There is no ‘Hey, I’m not thinking about the end of the game or two games from now or eight games from now.’ We just focus on today.”
