WR Sterling Shepard
Postgame vs. New Orleans
September 30, 2018
Q: Offense got off to a fast start. You moved the ball on that first drive. Why don’t you think you were able to sustain that throughout the game?
A: I think we did a great job that first drive. We hit a little rough patch. They threw the two deep at us and something we struggle with in the past, but I feel like we’ll get in the film room and coaches will come up with something for sure.
Q: What do you think the answer is against those kind of soft coverages you’ve been seeing?
A: We’ll get Saquon (Barkley) involved in the run game and he’s going to make big plays, so we got to block it up for him. Us on the perimeter as well. It’s a group thing, so better get it corrected.
Q: What’s the level of frustration in here, offensively?
A: Pretty frustrated. We needed to (inaudible) and put up points and we didn’t do that, so obviously we’re going to be frustrated as an offense, but we have to brush it off and come in next week and flush this game down the toilet.
Q: I know you don’t want to let it bother you when you’re on the field, but do you guys feel like you got a bad whistle in this game?
A: Yeah, but I mean that’s the way the game goes. Sometimes the refs aren’t in your favor when you think they should be. That’s the way the game goes though.
