On being back at headquarters: “It’s good to be back, but kind of gets your mindset in the right place because this is where we are going to be for the next, hopefully, five to six months. So it’s good to be back in our facility and be back on our practice fields in the same meeting rooms. It’s tough to leave Napa at the same time, but it’s time to get the season going. We are excited for it.”
On preseason playing time in the past: “I don’t remember ever not playing but I think it’s always been a series, two series, three series, a quarter something like that.”
On if he will ask for playing time this week: “I hope I get to play, but that’s not our job as players, that’s what the coaches do and we’ll be ready for whatever we are told to play.”
On if he thinks it is important to get red zone situations sorted out: “You want to get it done in games but you really get it done in the classroom and out here on the practice field and getting together as a group and talking through it on film. Obviously, any chance you get on live situations, it helps too, but we’re continuing to work on the problem areas and still continue to work on some of the areas we have been successful in. Like I said, whatever we’re asked to play we’ll play.”
On if he will game plan for this week as much as last: “I think cause it’s a short week, we’re not going to have enough time. Especially like we did last week, we had a little more time last week to really hammer out an entire game plan and go through a mock game week but with the short week and playing, we’re playing Thursday or is it Friday? I don’t even know what day it is anymore. I think we’re just got to try and stay healthy and continue to work in some areas and like we did today go against ones versus ones, and have a chance to really go as close to game speed as you can.”
On how vanilla the team has been in the preseason thus far: “We have. You want to work certain things with certain individuals to see if certain guys can do things, but you don’t want to just throw the entire playbook on film also. I know we’re doing that I know just about every team in the NFL is doing that so there are still some things we’ve got to continue to work on and some things that we’re really excited to do that haven’t been seen.”
On whether he feels comfortable with the timing of 
On getting time with some of the younger guys: “It’s been great. For Rod [Streater] to go in and get action and play against starters, play against starting corners, have to block safeties, starting safeties. there is a big drop off as the game goes on to the competition he would have seen, so for him to be in there with the starters is huge, just for his confidence also. Getting a chance to rep with him and some of the other guys, you know [Mike] Goodson and

On Streater fighting for his position: “I think more importantly he realizes he can play in this league. When you’re a 6th, 7th round draft choice or a free agent there’s a little bit of doubt, why didn’t I get picked, why did I get picked so late, maybe I can’t play in this league. There’s some things that kind of sink into your head, I haven’t specifically talked to him about that but I’m sure there’s a little bit of that in there coming from a wing-T offense, catching 15-16 balls his senior year. I think the one thing he’s realized is he can play, he can play with the best, he can win a one-on-one route against any corner, starter or back-up corner. That’s one of the biggest hurdles a young guy has to get over. You really don’t know if you can do it consistently and he’s consistently done it, every single practice, every single day. So confidence-wise, I don’t think he has any issue confidence-wise.”
