Josh Rosen – August 16, 2019 (Postgame)

August 16, 2019
Postgame – Tampa Bay

QB Josh Rosen (Transcribed by Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

(On how he would evaluate his play tonight…) – “Okay. I think I had some good and some bad, but overall I’d say a positive. But there was definitely a good amount of mistakes that I could learn from”.

(On a near interception he intended for Preston Williams…) – “It was just a bad throw”

(On what he took from his experience starting the game…) – “A good amount. I think most of the learning comes in the next 24 hours. We’re going to get back and I think a lot of [learning] comes from film. There were some good plays and some bad, but there was a lot to learn from.”

(On how important it is to establish the run game…) – “I think that is always important in football. The quarterback’s best friend is a good running game and I think that is a universal truth regardless to offense. But we all have things to work on, I think I could definitely improve throws, reads. A couple run plays I didn’t bring certain guys in to block for us so a lot of that is on me as well. The run game and pass game are on all 11 guys. It’s not like guys are taking plays off; receivers are blocking, running backs are running routes, so regardless of run or pass, all 1 guys are involved.”

(On his ability to make a play under heavy pressure…) – “Pretty good. But there were times where I did kind of shudder a little bit. I knew one of the sacks I took, I could have stepped up a little harder, and given my tackle an easier loop. I know that one to Kenny [Stills], I got a little lucky but I got the ball out in time. The pass to Durham [Smythe] I stepped up, but I don’t really think I needed to escape. I think I maybe could have sat in the pocket and if I gave him a little better ball he maybe could have run with it. Those are kind of the little things. Even if there was a positive play and a good chunk, there are always little things you can improve upon.”

(On how the week went against Tampa Bay…) – “The week overall I think went really well. Coach [Flores] also told us as a team that he thinks that the week overall we got a lot better as a team. We just have to clean up a lot of little things. We were shooting ourselves in the foot in regards to penalties and simple mental errors. I think it was an overall positive, but it’s a preseason game and we have two more dress rehearsals and then the real thing comes on.”

(On if he felt like he had to make a play in tonight’s game to strengthen his case to be a starter…) – “Nothing in particular, I know it’s a game and it’s a little more formal than practice, but each day I am just trying to execute our plays to the best I can. I’m just keeping my head down, more of a microscope perspective, as opposed to a telescope, I guess you could say. Those decisions about playing or not are above me. I’m just trying to basically show my skills.”
