Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury addressed the media before practice on Nov. 21. Here is a full transcript of the press conference.

*On what has prevented the offense from executing and on how to improve: *"In what regard? Obviously, the Thursday night game was not our best, but when you just overall execution, you say? Yeah, I think there's a lot of things played. Two really good defenses first off, and then, just having the ability to be on the practice field to continue to get reps together and build. I think this is the first week we've been able to do that consistently as a unit, put in a full week. And so hopefully that pays off, but still had a chance in the fourth quarter, our guys battled even when weren't playing our best, which I appreciated. But, just nailing the details, calling better plays. I mean, overall, collectively as an offense we can be better and I think a week of real practice will help that."

On anything specific or different that he is focusing on with QB Jayden Daniels this week:
"Yeah, I think you just give back to the basics, the fundamentals, and really hone in on those. I think anytime you have a couple games that aren't to maybe the level we all want to be at, you narrow the focus and it's like, 'Hey, let's nail the footwork, let's nail the reads, progressions, the base stuff and start there'. And, he's the guy who, when he is working at it, he works really hard, he's very focused and so this week has been good to see him back out there going full speed and getting the reps that I think will help us play at a higher level."

On his reaction to an opposing defense exposing offensive tendencies, specifically with WR Terry McLaurin, and on if he changes the offense as a result:
"Oh, okay. Yeah, I can't tell you that. That would be a, because then teams may use it against me, especially this week, but yeah, definitely gotta get him the ball more. So a tendency of not giving him the ball. We gotta get him the ball more [laugh]. I would say that."

On what he would take from his coaching experience here to any next opportunity in the league:
"Yeah, I think I definitely have a new perspective and being around [Head Coach] DQ [Dan Quinn] and just the way he carries himself, the consistency in his approach, his attitude, the way he treats players. He puts the players first in everything he does. You come in on Monday, win, lose or draw and it's the same guy. And I think that being from my seat, being able to step back and see it from the 10,000 foot overview after being in that seat for 10 straight years has really helped me kinda see what I would want to be and who I'd want to be if I ever chose to do that again."

On what having all the running backs enables him to do offensively:
"Yeah, I think [RB Brian Robinson Jr.] And [RB] Austin [Ekeler] are a great combo, and obviously when [RB] Jeremy [McNichol]'s had his opportunities, he's done really well. And then [RB] C-Rod [Chris Rodriguez] did a nice job when he got his number called. So those guys feed off each other, they push each other really well and being able to have Austin, some of that pass game stuff, what he does after catch has been really impressive. Then B-Rob for the tough yards in between the tackles. He's a physical runner, so it definitely helps our attack be more balanced when we have all those guys healthy and going full speed."

On what the offensive line's health means for this week's game:
"Yeah, Dallas is a challenge, there's no doubt. They've been a team that's played at a high level for a long time. I know their struggles because of injuries, things of that nature recently. But, anytime we can get that O-line feeling healthy and have the depth we've had and have six and seven guys that we know we can rotate through and play at a high level, it definitely helps our confidence as a unit."
* On how he avoids burnout in the industry after being a head coach at a relatively young age:*
"Yeah, I always just brought it back to the players. But definitely, especially going to your alma mater, and you're 33 and it's a small college town and not a lot of things to do, not a lot of ways to have stress release. So I just focused on the players. I always found that anytime it feels like it's getting hard or it's tough, you just bring it back to them and that has always centered me. Same deal being here. If we had a tough day or whatever, it's sometimes Monday and Tuesday when the players aren't around as much, it's tough. And then you get them here and you feel, all right, here we go. It feels right. So I think if you make it about players and process and you can always come back to those things, then you have an ability to never get too high or too low."

On if the lack of practice or strong opposing defenses impacted the pass game the most in the last two games:
"Kind of, yeah, I think you just take it for what it is on both accounts. The passing game has gotta be precise and you gotta be out there going full speed with your receivers to nail it. And then you're playing against two good defenses that make it a challenge, even if you are full speed, even if you're on point with everything. So I think you take both into account and you just focus on what you feel you can do to get better. You don't buy into one or the other too much and say, 'Oh, it was this scheme', or 'It was just that we didn't practice'. You say, how do we get better when we do get the chance to practice?"

On if he had to change any calls due to Daniels' rib:
"I'm not gonna divulge what we did while he was, I would say more banged up, but hopefully we play better this week. I'll just say that [laugh]."

On accounting for Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons:
"Yeah, Micah's a game wrecker. He's one of those, I thought [Philadelphia Eagles DT] Jalen Carter had a tremendous game against us. He was awesome and put us behind the chains several times and Micah is the guy who can do the same thing. And if you don't have a plan for him every snap, it takes one snap for him to take the ball away and all of a sudden, it can be a long day. So he's the guy you gotta have a plan for. He is dynamic, plays hard, and, yeah, he's one of the handful guys in the league that can really change a game by himself."

On if the last two games shakes Daniels' confidence:
"No, he's pretty much who he is. I mean, he's competitive as all get out, and like I said, for him to put us in that position in the fourth quarter in both games to even have a chance to win, I thought was really impressive. And he's very tough and very competitive and I know he earned a lot of respect from his teammates just by battling the last few weeks."

On what he knew coming and what he has learned now about C Tyler Biadasz:
"No, I didn't. But we were thrilled to get him. He comes from Dallas where I know he was really well coached and his college program there, Wisconsin was really well coached and he's had success everywhere he's been. And I think that that's the thing that jumped out to me. They won a bunch of games when he was at Wisconsin, won a bunch when he was at Dallas. And so he's used to winning. He expects to win and he brought that attest to with him here."

On historical trends that his offense declines in the second half of the season and on how he plans to break the trend:
"I would have to see the, what you're talking about historically, like the references. But yeah, I don't have any plans to do anything to break that trend that I know of. Yeah, I mean, I would have to see what years you're talking about. So I was thinking about doing triple option, is that what you're thinking? I don't know, yeah, we're gonna do what we do, so."
