Press Conference Video

On the first couple of games
“Yeah obviously the most important thing every week is to get the W. So haven’t done that every week but it is all about moving forward and learning from mistakes and continuing to build on last performance each week so we can get better each week.”
 
On his personal performance
“I don’t really look at personal stats like that but I just want to do whatever I can to help the team. I think as a defensive whole we all have that same mind set about winning.”
 
On how comfortable he is this year
“Yeah I definitely feel more comfortable. I feel really good communicating and every game I feel more comfortable out there. I think a lot of the guys do. Physically I am just happy to be healthy. Dealing with injuries stinks so when you are healthy it is always something you never take for granted.”
 
On the defense’s growth
“It is always about us every week. Getting better and knowing our issues. I think every week we are understanding more like ‘we need to do this’. It is a nameless faceless opponent. So we have a continued focus on getting the ball. Disrupting the ball. Disrupting the quarterback. I think those are areas we are improving at and will continue to improve at.”
 
On Fordham’s game
“There are a lot of things that we need to improve at. The big one was at the end of the second quarter beginning of the third quarter. Keeping that momentum. I think that is what Austin Allen talked about it and he has really emphasized that because that is a huge momentum boost for us. So if we can own the end of the second quarter beginning of third quarter we are going to be in good shape.”
 
On Buffalo
“Buffalo is a really good team. We are going to need to be ready to go. They have good backs. They are disciplined. But it is about us every week so we have to continue to know our issues and see if we can pick up some tendencies from them.”
