On settling in after first quarter and a half
“Basically we found out what they were trying to do and their game plan, and we got in the huddle and coach told us what scheme they were trying to do and I am not going to lie they had a great scheme at first and then we caught on and then we had to shut it down.”

On the blocked field goal
“Oh that was a great play that just gave us more momentum that we need.”

On his two interceptions
“Two picks was just preparation I have been doing all week. Man-to-man coverage, just working on my technique and stuff that I worked on in the summer with my dad - nose over toes.”

On his position
“Just to show that I could cover the scouts and all that, just to show that I can cover. I am one of those guys that can play corner. I am one of those guys that can play nickel. I am one of those guys that can play safety and be the hard hitter that they want me to be.”

On being put in hard positions
“We know who we are as a defense. We know that we have the confidence to do what we need to do to get the job done. That is something we work on in practice, sudden changes, stuff like that. So we just have to touch and feel and blow up.”

On playing in front of fans
“The sight, the energy that crowd brings is just joy. You know you have to give them a show when there is thousand,s of people out there. Just on that it was great. Great first impression. If somebody had never seen me play I want to give them a show.”

On energy and being a leader
“Just the passion that I have playing a game. Being a captain, it just shows that every day in practice I am working hard every game. I am going hard as I can. I am going to give you what I got, and I need it back so just in that alone.”
