“So you are attempting to search for causes that, , you’ll be able to attribute to losses. You know, heavy is the crown of being a franchise quarterback. What I do know is that he is straight communicated with a lot of guys, beginning with final night time, and that is what teammates do, and you reside and also you be taught.

“And ultimately I look at it like everything else, there’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Accountability and our team’s performance always lies squarely on my shoulders, so we know that as well. But the focus is to beat the Cleveland Browns and fix this.

“Fix what we need to get fixed in our recreation to go assault the subsequent opponent. There’s nowhere in that lies something however deal with what we are able to do individually and how we are able to assault this work week, and all the things else shouldn’t be main us into the direction of resolution.”
