Ted Karras on Bengals' Offense Ahead of Matchup vs Lions

Transcript

00:00Average four yards to carry next week.

00:02Was it a step in the right direction?

00:03I think so.

00:04I mean, we ran 52 plays, though, so, I mean, what are you going to say?

00:07I mean, there are positives to build off of,

00:09but I don't want to be overly corny about that.

00:12We've got to do whatever we can to put points on the board.

00:14Three points will win you zero games in the National Football League.

00:18So what's the key?

00:19Like, what has to – everything?

00:21Like, what has to change?

00:23I think we've got to convert their downs.

00:24I think we've got to eliminate pre-snap penalties,

00:27play ahead of the sticks, and punch it in the red zone.

00:30And it's just all individual execution, working together as a unit,

00:33as position groups, and as an offensive team.

00:36So, you know, no one's hanging their head.

00:39We're getting it from all angles, guys.

00:40We hear you.

00:42And that is what it is, and we deserve that.

00:44But no one – like I said earlier, you can't break my spirit.

00:46You're not going to break this team's spirit.

00:48And we're going to come out and be ready for a football game Sunday, 4 p.m.
