On his preparation: “It definitely feels really good to just be able to go out there and know you see the stuff that you’re watching on film and that you’ve been practicing all week and just being able to know like now it’s time to do my job, make sure 11 guys are doing our jobs. I feel like it happened out there which resulted in a lot of success.”
On using the bye week for his betterment as an athlete: “Just make sure I take care of my body, resting, getting a lot more treatment. We should have a lot more time. And then also make sure I get in the film room because with the extra time and having a bye week, we got a lot more time to be able to study our opponent. We got to make sure to stay on top of that and hopefully be even more prepared coming in.”
On the third quarter roughing the passer call: “I’m just a player you know the ref said it was roughing the passer, so I got to keep playing. Move on. Either way, I let the fans have their own opinion on that. I just kept playing and tried to keep him out of the end zone. We ended up holding him to a field goal. Just making sure that we just keep going no matter what happens.”
On the emotion of the breast cancer awareness game: “With the way breast cancer affected my family, you know there’s a different mentality. I just try to make sure I go out there and play hard. At the same time, I just try to make sure I focus on the game and make sure I am in the right mentality and in the right state of mind because of the way that breast cancer has affected my life personally.”
On the team’s spot at this halfway mark in the season: “I’m really happy with our team and where we’re at right now. You know it didn’t go as planned with some of the losses we had earlier. But we just kept playing. It’s still a one game season for us, and it doesn’t matter where we’re at record-wise. We always still have the same mindset of trying to win every single game, playing hard, and having the same preparation we would have even if we were undefeated.”
