Post-Game Press Conference:
Question 1:
How good is it to come off of a win on the opening day of the Preseason?
McCoy:
Even though it's Preseason, it still feels good when you win and tonight we were very impressed with quite a few players.
Question 2:
Were there any players in particular that stood out?
McCoy:
We thought Marion [Grice] did a real nice job coming in against the 2's and 3's. Danny [Woodhead] had that nice kick return on special teams, but he contributed well on the ground too. Manti [Te'o] tackled well, which we have preached tackling all throughout training camp, so that's good to see. I like a lot of the things we were able to do. We got a lot of pressure on the Quarterback and ran the ball effectively.
Question 3:
On the Depth Chart, Woodhead is listed as the starting Fullback, any comments on that?
McCoy:
We want Danny to have plenty of opportunities out of the backfield, so we chose to go with a two-back type system here on offense and he performed.
Question 4:
What corrections are you looking to make after Kyle Orton torched your defense with the pass to Cole Beasley?
McCoy:
Yeah, we have to fix that, it was a blown coverage on the side by Jason [Verrett]. He's a rookie and it's best to get the jitters out during the preseason. We will be coaching him up though, that's for sure.
Question 5:
What are you looking for in next weeks game?
McCoy:
I look forward to having better tackling, we missed a few tackles out there tonight and we are going to work on that, but overall I was fairly impressed with the defense.
Question 6:
What did you think of your starting offense?
McCoy:
They looked quick, sharp, and productive; words we have been preaching to the offense all offseason. I was very impressed with River's accuracy and Gates ran a beautiful screen into the end zone; it was all around good for us.
