Lions Bye Week Press Conference

[bfy222]

Coach Marriucci enters the room and start taking questions

Reporter: Coach, How do you feel about the way your team has played so far and is this where you thought you would be in the preseason?

Mooch: I've been very pleased with the way our team has played so far. I feel like we should be 4-1 right now but I let that game in week 1 slip away in the fourth quarter. Our offense has been playing great and while our defense has been good, i really feel like we can get a lot more out of some of the guys on that side of the ball.

Reporter: Why is Travis Henry getting so few carries this season.

Mooch: Well as you know i am a passing coach, and when I look at our offense I think our strenght is in our receivers. I've been asking Chad to put the ball in the air a lot and he has played above my expectations this far. I'm trying to get Travis more involved in the passing game but I do not think we will win games if we run the ball 35 times.

Reporter: What do you think of your chances in the division and of making the playoffs.

Mooch: I think we can very easily win our division this year. Minnesota has started off hot but they are still within reach and the season is only a quarter over. If our guys continue to play as well as they have we should easily make the playoffs and hopefully advance.

Thank you for your time and I'll see you all next week
