Reporters had a moment to catch up with Assistant Head Coach of the Sharks, Robert Barrett, on how the Sharks can try to save their record this week.
“It’s going to be tough to come back from two consecutive losses, but we’re all trying to stay positive and keep our heads up. It’s all about staying focused during practice, reviewing film, and correcting our mistakes for a better outcome.”
QB Trey Lance offered some input on the game as well explaining that “everyone has to work together to get the win.” He further went on to comment that “it’s a group effort here and no one person is able to carry the whole team.”
The Sharks are facing a tough upcoming week, especially with star RB Joe Mixon being placed on the injured list for Week 5. This week’s upcoming game will be the true test of a team effort for the Sharks.
The Long Beach Sharks (1-3-0) will take on the Knoxville Knights (2-2-0) this week. Sharks QB Dak Prescott will have quite the matchup against Knights QB Josh Allen.
