1 POSTGAME QUOTES vs. Wednesday, August 9, 2017 Head Coach Bill O Brien RE: Overall team performance I have to watch the tape and study it. As far as moving the ball, there were some good things. There were some things we have to correct. There were a lot of pressures we haven t seen. We were really concentrating on ourselves leading into this game. We didn t do much prep work for Carolina. They did a good job with some of their pressure packages and we need to do a good job watching that and teaching our guys what happened there, but I thought all three guys did some decent things. I think there were a number of things tonight, starting with penalties. Last year I think we were one of the least penalized teams in the league. Tonight we had 12 for almost 100 yards. We turned it over. Those are the things we have to stop doing or we will never win anything. RE: Getting JJ Watt in on a few plays It was good to get him in the live-action and prepping for a live game. For all of those guys that played a little bit, I thought it was good for them. RE: Deshaun Watson s quarterback performance tonight He is a smart and distinctive player. First game out there I thought he did some big things. It is a big jump from college to the NFL. I thought he handled it pretty well. There are probably a couple of things that we could ve done differently. He could ve played a little bit better on certain plays, but overall I thought he handled himself pretty well for his first time out. RE: Making adjustments after this game moving forward I think the big thing is, like I told the team, this has been a big week for us. We have to watch this tape and enhance the things we did well. We have to correct and change the things we aren t doing well. We have to get ready for a big week of practice. We will practice all the way through Saturday, we will be off Sunday, and then we will practice Monday, and then the Patriots come to Greenbrier on Monday night. We will practice against them Tuesday and Wednesday and that will be a big test. That s a great team coming in and it is a big week for us to improve. Watching tape and seeing some of the things we did will help us get better. RE: Tom Savage adjustments after a slow start Tom is a resilient guy. If you think about what he s been through already in this league, he is in his fourth year. He has dealt with a lot of injuries and different things. He is always going to go out there and put his best foot forward and try to correct mistakes and get everyone lined up correctly, get us in the right play, and complete the ball. He is a fun guy to coach. He is a really good guy, and I was happy to see he had a touchdown drive. Quarterback Deshaun Watson RE: Can you give us an idea how you think things went for you?

2 It was good just to get my feet wet. Not just me, but all of the rookies. Just to get out there and experience my first NFL game, it was fun. RE: What did you like, not like about what you did out there? My main focus is to make sure that I am doing the right things as a quarterback. Leading the team, good operation, good mic points, whatever the coach asks me to do and what we game plan for. RE: Protecting the football first and making good decisions That s one of my goals, to take care of the football. Especially at this level, we can t turn the ball over. That s one of the biggest things that we focus on is protect the ball, whoever is handling the ball, runners and passers. RE: How special was it getting in the endzone as a professional? It s always good regardless if it s a scrimmage or practice, preseason or regular season game. Whatever it is, you get in the endzone, it s hard to do, it s a good feeling. RE: Hearing the ovation when they called you to the field It was awesome just to be able to have the support, that fan base, especially when I come back around this area. I just want to thank all of my fans and people that were here to support me. RE: Having family here to support you It is good. God works in mysterious ways. My first NFL game was close enough for my family to come and see and everyone came by and everyone showed up and supported. RE: You and Cam Newton had a moment, can you tell us about it? It was all love and support. There was some other stuff, but it was all love and support. RE: His rushing touchdown I was just extending the play. That is what coach always tells me. If nothing is there, do what I do. Don t change and try to force anything, extend the play. I saw a hole, tried to get in the endzone, and I did. RE: Feeling of déjà vu It was. When I came out for warm-ups, I was telling a couple of the guys that the last time I was in this stadium I won the ACC Championship. It was a good feeling to be back here and do the same thing. RE: Game pace This is professional football, the highest level of this sport. It s a lot faster, bigger guys, smarter guys. At the same time, I am doing the same thing they re doing. I m watching film, trying to play fast also. At the end of the day, it s still football. You have to go out there, operate, and do your job. Jadeveon Clowney RE: Defensive line consisting of Clemson Tigers I am not tearing them down, they are my teammates. I am cheering them on. I don t care where they come from. I just want to win. RE: Clowney and Watt both being healthy this year It s great. We have a lot of work to do. We are trying to get back where we were headed before. Now we just have to go back and get ready for New England. We need to get ready for practice and work hard.

3 Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins RE: The team s play tonight It was good. We did some good things and did some bad things. RE: The play of the first team offense The first two drives weren t what we wanted. But we came out, showed some resilience and put some points on the board. RE: The play of quarterback Tom Savage He managed the game well. He did what a quarterback should do. The first two drives didn t go his way, but he came back out and kept the offense out. RE: The play of quarterback Deshaun Watson He did what Deshaun (Watson) does, just go out there and make plays. Guard David Quessenberry RE: Were you nervous for today? I was nervous for about three days leading up to this. It was probably the most nervous I ve ever been for a football game in my life. Before the game, I got really emotional. I saw my family on the sideline. Once the first play started, it was back to football. RE: Where there any surprises? It was exactly as I expected. It was awesome. RE: Positive comments made by J.J. Watt J.J. is a great teammate and a good friend to me. He has really helped me out throughout my fight. Now, coming back and being a teammate is awesome. RE: Emotion during Star-Spangled Banner They (the Texans team) know everything that I have been through. They ve seen me go through chemo and with no hair. It was good to see 77 back on that jersey and out here. I m just glad to be playing. RE: Relationship with Head Coach Bill O Brien It s a special relationship. We ve gotten close. He really cares about us players. He wants the best for me. He definitely pushes me to come back better than how I left. Quarterback Tom Savage RE: Texans offensive performance We want to get out there and start a little faster than that, but once we got our feet under us we made some plays and threw the ball. RE: Deshaun Watson s performance I think he did a great job. He went out there and made some plays.

4 RE: Feeling of the first preseason game It felt good. Like I said, we wanted to start a little faster than that. The one good thing is that I talked to the offense the day before the game and said, There are going to be things that pop up during the game that don t go our way. There s going to be 3-and-outs, dropped passes, and missed throws. We have to bounce back from that. I think we did a good job. RE: Play calling I think the play calling in the first two series was awesome. We just need to execute better. I missed the throw to Lamar (Miller) in the back. Things like that are going to happen. We just need to be able to bounce back. RE: How much did you expect to play? I didn t know. You just go out there and expect to play the whole game until they tell you that you can t. Defensive end Carlos Watkins RE: How fun it was to watch Deshaun Watson It was fun. It s always fun to see him on the field. He does what he does. He is something special. RE: Playing on a field down the street from where he grew up It was special. I had a lot of support out there. Hearing people scream your name on the sideline felt good. It really made it special everyone got to come see my first actual game. RE: Playing alongside D.J. Reader It is always good to have him in your corner. He has a year under his belt, so he is really pushing me along and challenging me to go make plays. He is a great teammate as well. RE: Clemson preparing him for the NFL Clemson did a great job. I feel like that is what they do is prepare you as young men to become professional athletes. There are a lot of things technique-wise that I need to work on because the offensive lineman are more fundamentally sound, but other than that, the transition has been great. Clemson coaches teach us to grind and grind, it is the same here. We are just grinding away and getting better. Head Coach Ron Rivera RE: Wide receiver Damiere Byrd Big things happened today with these young men, last couple of years just worked very hard, got an opportunity at the end of the season last year to play, made a couple of plays, and we were excited to see him. He s taking the opportunity, he s taking advantage. Again, it s just one game, it s one preseason game, but Damiere Byrd shows he has some ability. RE: Stretching field with wide receiver Curtis Samuel out That s the neat thing about it. We ve got a lot of young men out there that have speed at wide receiver and those guys showed very well. Kaelin (Clay) showed his speed in the seam on a couple of catches. Once (Austin) Duke settled down he made a couple of big catches for us as well. I mean we ve got a lot of young guys that have the speed we re looking for, and they showed very well today, they really did and I m excited about it. I think the quarterbacks played well. I think Derek (Anderson) came in and handled the first unit very nicely. Really pleased with Joe (Webb), although I know Joe would like to have that interception back just before the half. Really pleased with Garrett (Gilbert) in there with the

5 hodgepodge of the offensive line. I mean those guys played well, they did. And there were plays that the whole offensive line played well. The depth showed very nicely and then at the end we had to move guys around because a couple of guys got nicked and they held up pretty good, gave us a chance to move the ball. The running backs ran hard. It was good to see Jonathan (Stewart) get some opportunities. Christian (McCaffrey) did some really nice things that showed his speed. We had a screen that I thought we set up pretty nicely but unfortunately the ball got tipped, but we re going to find ways to get the ball in his hands obviously. Really pleased with the tight ends, obviously. Greg Olsen got in and got his time. I thought Ed Dickson played very, very nicely when he had to play a little bit longer in the 2nd quarter. Again, I just really think the players are focusing in on getting better. Defensively, I liked what the first unit did right off the bat. I liked how they held up very nicely. The pass rush was there. The coverage was there. I thought the linebackers flowed very quickly. I thought Steve Wilks, for his first game as our coordinator, did a nice job. I thought his staff handled things very well, especially under pressure a couple of times. Yes, it was exciting. A little disappointed in the second unit. I know they were going against their first unit but still you d like to see us we had a couple of opportunities on third and long we didn t get off the field, but I thought they did a nice job closing it out. RE: Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin It s great to see Kelvin make that play. It s nice to see Devin Funchess out there making some plays as well. It s good to see guys that are working hard that are starting to come back into form. I think things really went well for us out there. RE: Benjamin getting confidence back It s real big. That s what he did his rookie year for us and it s good to see him getting into that flow. He s got to continue to work. He s got to continue to make the sacrifices he has. He s got to control those things and he s got to continue to keep rehabbing and strengthening his leg like he has. He s progressing well and we ve just got to continue as coaches making sure we give our guys a chance to win. RE: Carolina linebacker corps I think we ve got a pretty competitive bunch there. Our linebackers are pretty doggone good. It s a battle, it really is. We like all nine guys. It s going to probably come down to the last game as to who gets the opportunity. We ll continue to give guys opportunity. RE: Special teams We re going to continue to move guys around. That s exactly what he s doing (special teams coach Thomas McGaughey) and that s what this is all about. This training camp is about who wants to be here and who wants to be a part of what we re trying to do. They ve got to earn that right. RE: Brenton Bersin injury update I have none, I have not talked with R.V. (trainer Ryan Vermillion) yet or the doctors. RE: Second-team defense and safety Dezmen Southward Dezmen did a nice job. I thought Colin Jones did as well. L.J. McCray, we blitzed him a couple of times and he showed his physicality. We ve got three guys trying to battle and compete and it s still early. We ve got three more games. RE: Carolina kickers I was a little disappointed when Graham (Gano) on that first kicked hooked it, but he came back strong and drilled the ball. He s having a really good camp right now. Harrison did a really good job, he really did. He stroked it, the 51 yarder. I don t think he hit that fully, but it was right down the middle. The punters, I know Andy wishes he had that first one back, but then he settled in. J.J. would be upset if I didn t say he handled snapping the ball well. RE: Wide receiver Damiere Byrd progression

6 Yes, he s progressed very, very nicely, but then if you go back to his first year with us, the Super Bowl year with us he earned an opportunity to be on the practice squad with us and last year he was on the practice squad again. At the end of the year we activated him and saw some flashes of his ability. We were excited about this opportunity to see his quickness and see him on the field. Quarterback Derek Anderson RE: His touchdown pass in the first quarter I just had one on one with ostrich (Kelvin Benjamin). It s what we ve been working all camp, throwing balls up high enough where he can make plays. He came off the ball nice and he made a good play. RE: Possibly overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on the touchdown No, I thought had that one. I do that occasionally, I m like, there is no way he is going to catch that and then he does. That one, I felt good about it as soon as a I let it go. RE: The effect of this win for the team I think it s good. Obviously we talk about coming out and starting fast. With our group, we executed fairly really well. I thought we had a few mistakes, but you aren t going to be perfect with the first one. RE: What he has seen from Damiere Byrd A lot of that (touchdowns). He s had a great camp and he had a great spring, obviously coming back from a banged up knee last year. He s going to continue to get better every single day. He played unbelievable tonight. Made some great plays and that s what it is all about, when the opportunity comes, you ve got to make plays. Linebacker Ben Boulware RE: What he can improve on going forward Just learn the defense more. I feel like I ve been pretty consistent all throughout camp; just doing my job, communicating, being a quarterback of the defense. There is always more I can learn, more I can obtain from Luke (Kuechly), TD (Thomas Davis) and Shaq (Thompson). Just be like a sponge. This is a complicated defense. There are a lot of ins and outs that I still don t know yet. I feel like I have a good foundation, but I need to continue building on that foundation. RE: Playing his first game in Charlotte It was cool. I actually ran on this field a couple times with Clemson, so it s not too new to me. It s the first time out that I ve run in this new uniform, so it was a cool experience. I m used to the field, used to the grass. I ve played here a couple of times at Clemson. But it was a great experience. RE: Playing against his Clemson teammates It was different. I was hoping I would get in there against Deshaun (Watson). I knew when I got in that it might be his last series, but I was a little too late. I knew going in that I was going to be one of the later guys in, but it was cool. It was different, but it was cool. It was cool playing in different uniforms and getting to meet him. I haven t talked to him in a long time, at least face to face. Just being able to catch up with him, give him a hug, just seeing him was a cool experience. RE: His first NFL game It was cool. It was kind of one of the first things I wanted to accomplish, just getting the first game out of the way and just the first snap of an NFL game. At the end of the day it s ball, at the end of the day it s

7 just football and I felt like I was prepared for it. I felt like I was confident out there. I studied a lot and after the first play, it s football. Once you get between those white lines, that s probably a little easier than the practices are because they stress you a lot in the practice. But, at the end of the day, it s ball and I thought it was a solid day. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd RE: Excitement following the win Oh yes, definitely. Anytime you have a good game and score two touchdowns, you are going to be excited because you are able to make plays and help this team win. RE: Texans defense They made it easy on us. Our quarterbacks had a lot of time. Our quarterbacks were able to get the ball off and were able to take those shots that we would like to do for our offense. RE: Catching punt It was a plus-50 punt. Initially, I was ready to fair catch it. He gave me a short one with no hang time and I was able to field it clean. Special teams coaches all over say returners have to make one miss and I was able to do so. Everyone else made their blocks and I was able to get to the edge. RE: His speed giving him an edge My entire life, speed was my thing. Anytime I am going vertical, doing post-routes or deep goes, I am gone. I am looking for the ball and if it is there, I m going to get it. Safety Kurt Coleman RE: The play of the first team defense Absolutely, I thought for what we wanted to do to come out there. It was not for long, it was six plays, but we set the tempo and the tone. We stopped the run every time they tried and on the passing downs, the front seven got after them. I thought we did a great job in coverage, for the plays that we were out there. Now it s going to be to prepare for Tennessee, and we have a couple of practices with them. How well we mesh and gel as a team to build upon what we ve done because this group, I don t think we are happy with where we are at. We want to continue to get better and better. It s very promising with where we ve started. RE: Playing another team It felt great. Yeah, it really did. You know, with the way the season ended, you re kind of itching and with the way we ve been building in training camp, it s just nice to go against another team and really challenge yourself. Just kind of gauge where we are as a team and I thought this was a great showing for every guy that had an opportunity to step on the field. I thought everybody had a chance to make plays and they did. Running back Christian McCaffrey RE: His first action in the NFL

8 It felt great. You get so lost in the grind sometimes that you forget that football is the best thing in the world. As soon as that first play happened, we were ready to roll. That was a lot of fun. It was good to get out there and finally play again. Learn from it, get all the jitters out and now it s time to roll. RE: His performance I mean today was just one of those days where I don t really focus on what I can accomplish. If I have something, I have to take it. A couple times, I got tripped up where I felt like I should ve kept my feet. That s why you learn now and once the regular season comes, you get after it. RE: If he should ve scored on the 12-yard run he had Yeah, I should ve. I don t know who I tripped on but I ve just got to keep my feet. RE: If he was ever close to breaking off a big run Yeah, just twice, I felt like I could ve made one more cut maybe and would ve broke one. But it is what it is. Sometimes they don t fall your way but I had a blast out there playing. Linebacker Jared Norris RE: On the defense s performance There s always room for improvement. I think we stopped the run to some effect, but we can always be better in that. We did a great job defending the pass. Next we ve got to come back and work on some of things we didn t do so well this week, but it was a good game overall. We got the win. RE: On Personal performance For me, as long as we win, the film will tell me the things I need to work on and all that. I just want to get better, but as a defense there s always room for improvement. Guys make mistakes, but that s where you ve got to have your brothers back and make the play for him or he may have to make the play for you, that happens out there sometimes. RE: On causing turnovers It seemed like we were flying around out there, everybody was running. As long as everybody s running the football the plays will come, the forced fumbles, everything like that. That s what Coach Wilks always harps on: get to the football, get to the football. That s ingrained in our brains. RE: On Coach Wilks Coach Wilks is a players coach. He s there to work and he s going to get the best out of you. He wants you to be the best football player that you can possibly be. Once you realize that and take the coaching and grow and learn, he s one of the best coaches I ve ever had. RE: On Deshaun Watson He was running around and it was tough because we re trying to play coverage and it s like, Oh we ve got to get to the ball, get to the ball, get to the ball, and he s quick. He scored that touchdown and good on him. He s a heck of an athlete. I m excited to see what he does too. Tight end Greg Olsen RE: Thoughts on getting back on the field for a game It s always nice the first game to get a few reps. Just to get a part of the action a little bit. Just kind of get your feeling back a little bit. I didn t play a lot, but just good to get out there and get back at it a little bit.

9 RE: Observations from today on some of the new guys on the offense I thought they did a good job. Obviously there are always mistakes. There are always those little things. I thought they played hard. I thought our wide receiver group as a whole played really well. I think that you saw a little bit of that dynamic ability that some of those young guys have. There was some speed out there and some guys that were playing fast. We are going to keep cleaning up little stuff. I think for the first game that some of the young guys did a nice job. RE: His thoughts on the rhythm of the offense It was nice to see Kelvin get going early. He kind of set the tone there with the first play. A big run after catch; kind of shows our physical presence out there. His first and last plays were probably our best plays of the night. He obviously had a big play there with a big touchdown catch there from D.A. and then on the end of that second drive. It was nice to get our rhythm a little bit and to get some completions. Get out there and get tackled. Catch a ball and get out. Quarterback Joe Webb RE: What he thought of Kelvin s first game of the season It s great for him. Great on the basics. Kelvin man, he works so hard you know. He puts his all into it. And for him to set the tone like that first game at this pre-season, you know. That s great for him. RE: Reference to Kelvin s weight loss (Laughs) Not too many if you ask him, man. He s running really good. RE: His first impression at camp of Kelvin Wow. You know, how much work he put in to lose all that weight. You know, not to let it get him down. You know, basically just motivating him to do it. So, for Kelvin to come out like he did tonight man we expect great things this year.
