Freeman on CJ Carr

09/15/2025 12:01:00 PM

“He’s as solid as any individual I’ve ever been around. The moment isn’t too big for him. He’s made some great plays. There’s been some plays in both games that he wishes he could do over. CJ Carr is going to be an unbelievable player. He’s doing great things for our offense.”

Freeman on the wildcat usage vs. a Minchey package

09/15/2025 11:54:51 AM

“If you’re going to run the ball, then Jeremiyah Love or one of our running backs will be a better runner than anyone, but Kenny Minchey gives you another asset of being able to throw or run. And CJ Carr can run if he needs to run. But I don’t know if you love your quarterback taking those hits in those short yardage situations.”

09/15/2025 11:41:42 AM
