Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor on Confidence Level in Evan McPherson

Transcript

00:00You were making a lot of that in the fourth quarter.

00:02You had two tribes who came up with no points

00:04on their side of Enrico's territory.

00:07Yeah.

00:08How big was that?

00:09Yeah, I mean, it's one of them, we were up one.

00:12We were in field goal range and wanted to go up eight.

00:15Didn't want to go up four.

00:16Felt confident that we would make the field goal,

00:18but at the same time, it's the type of game

00:20where you just felt like you needed that maximum lead.

00:23Just how dangerous they are.

00:24You watch Lamar scramble around back there 20 yards deep

00:27for 20 seconds, and anything can happen.

00:29It doesn't matter who's covering who.

00:31That's just what happens when you play them sometimes.

00:33And so, just wanted to put the ball in Joe's hands.

00:36And you could see those last two drives of the games,

00:38when you do that, he takes you down and makes

00:41some big plays for us.

00:43And so that was the mindset there,

00:44was just be aggressive in that fourth and two

00:46and try to get an eight point lead.

00:48How would you describe your confidence in Evan right now?

00:51High, high.

00:52I mean, I know it hasn't been exactly the type of season

00:56the whole operation has envisioned.

01:00But there's no question, I didn't doubt for a second

01:01that we would make the field goal.

01:02It just, I didn't want three points,

01:04I wanted seven points.
