Postgame Quotes
Senior Linebacker Chris Weber
On his health
“I just sprained my MCL a little bit and they just shut me down. But I’ll be good.”
On the installation of the 3-4 defense
“We run that as part of the system too, there’s some that are used to it but it was good to fly around.”
On how much they practiced what the defense executed today in spring practice
“It’s hard to put a number on it. We’ve installed it and that’s part of the system so we’ve played those calls.”
On the team's defensive strategy
“It was basic. It was stuff that we installed early and are continuing to work on. It was kind of the basic nuts and bolts.”
On blitzes today
“I think we had one in. We just wanted to work on tackling and leverage, stuff that’s important to playing good defense.”
On Defensive Coordinator Bob Diaco’s message after
“He was proud of how much we’ve learned this Spring Ball and how we’ve progressed. With the familiarity that we have now with him, it’s been good.”
On the new defense
“I don’t think it’s frustrating. Anytime you get out there and get to play defense, no matter what the call is, you can still play good defense with the basics of calls. It doesn’t have to be super complicated. That’s what was great about today, we were flying around tackling, stuff like that.”
On Luke Gifford’s performance
“I loved it. I told him he should keep his cast on. He’s a guy who’s really played well this spring and it’s good to see him have a day like today in the Spring Game. He earned it.”
On play calls
“I‘m just trying to do my job. There’s not really a signal call or play call. We’re all getting calls, we’re all getting the same calls so there’s not much communication from me as far as setting the defense. It’s per call. I just want to lead the guys and play hard.”
On his leadership
“It’s something that I’ve kind of been waiting to have. I’ve been here a while. It’ll be fun to lead these guys and come to work each day and improve to have a great year.”
