[0:32]" how important. Will be used to establish a little more consistency in your running game going forward."

[0:39]" Well we'd like -- be more consistent and everything so that's earned run against part of it passing game. Run defense has it sounds -- So we're always Olympic thing more consistency there and now along yardage off announcement. -- unto you know control down and distance situations and sent them a feeling of Vermont third out so."

[1:02]" So when you definitely congestion commitment with the Bengals. It was pretty much had he been defendant Eric you know obviously the 49ers for a different team okay. You've been certain that the forty."

[1:16]" Basically it could be -- that -- thought I'd. No less than one player over under is you know the -- I got to the -- side -- time. And you do inside -- in the past rotten situations and moved traveled so you don't you don't know exactly where it's going to be that he. It's not a good playmaker form this year is very productive guy."

[1:39]" And Billy were you mentioned yesterday about. If the question was specifically about weekly and will -- and earning playing time and rookies. Earn playing time this morning federal throw -- or does the difference but circumstances surrounding a rookie quarterback like that."

[1:58]" Well on here it's definitely different you know you can't play one quarterback. We're able to be confident form additions -- we have multiple deep cut back on the field. Anywhere from thought -- because sixties and sometimes seven. A lot more opportunity there in. This -- about Wheatley and Wilhite it and others it would just point one quarterback. But never got what he didn't look pretty govern there. Averaged better -- their spot."

[2:27]" And outside and Crable looked."

[2:29]" Practiced it and is very chants. He might get into -- games on the road."

[2:36]" Doubt it goes to -- a -- on stronger improve. All winter camp and and in the regular season and the opportunities that he. And you know if we're able to take more players of the game I'm sure Charlotte -- demonstrate quite so far this year we've. You know we have the limit of forty you know hands on the active roster but. We a lot of confidence that Shawn I'm sure that he would he be able to contribute for that is that the game -- just a question of whose place he would have taken. You know what what are the ramifications would come and play there but he's he's got a good job and getting better all the --"

[3:16]" would you assess your you turnover differential to this point in the season."

[3:21]" Well all I'm looking to get more and give up well well he's he's -- point ounces worth every week when he turned the ball over. And at times on take care of it. You know we had a ball handling and on the decision making and and you know just in general take care of the ball no matter who who -- that they a lot of different people all. You know that's all they point chances especially this week against efforts as goes the -- ball stripping -- and he's got to do real good job of break on the ball up punts and a you know knocking it loose though. You know we're really going to take care. Of the consulate and we can we -- always use more turnovers."

[4:07]" Do you mean it's three games into the season -- going back it's really seven come pre season and there are obviously some issues there the do you. Differentiate between the two to this point here is there a concern because the things he saw in the pre season there are continuing now."

[4:25]" Well you know it's Gannett company work on all the way through you don't just start working on one week. You know. Certainly the pre season -- third week of the regular season her you know funny where all the time so we're always looking to get better at it and and you know I think the biggest thing is take advantage of the opportunities that we have and he try to create. Try to create -- opportunities and those are. You know somewhat limited but when you have them you want to be able. You know the -- walked on those -- eliminate. You know we have we have a good opportunity turn the ball over it and certainly don't want to. You know -- so. Take advantage of those and be alert you know part of it to."

[5:09]" Coach sitting by his first two starts this season -- and I human accessibility to -- offense. Good."

[5:20]" And that's not a good week last week had a good practice yesterday. I think he's doing things. You know we just was -- offensively you know collectively we've just got to do everything will be better. And -- confidence in the players council of competent for all players -- rather. Build."

[5:37]" Go back to O'Connell and I know it's been up. You mentioned numerous times going back. If the spring about working on mechanics with him and finding. That type of area who will win. And that kind of process become complete for a guy like him."

[5:55]" I don't know. You know restore of those things that Brady so. I think an ongoing process. Like here in the mechanic I don't think those ever. You know you're taken for granted anymore than Tiger Woods take is also important to be worked on that every day. And you know it's been up -- richer fourteen -- and hit balls and I think. You know quarterbacks -- work on mechanics and kickers can work on kicking mechanics and if I don't want McEnroe or -- Castro and techniques and everything else I got an ongoing process that never stops. Question. I think everyone if you coach -- I can't throw."
