Q: As a defensive line, how much onus do you take this upon yourselves to provide that pressure so you can get help on the back end so that they can make some plays because you guys looked lost back there? – “As a defensive line, we have to do a better job of stopping that run. The run killed us today. We just got to play better complementary football, all phases. We just have to go back and watch film, see what we messed up on, and just bring it all out next week.”

Q: Is it communication? What do you think is the piece that’s missing? – “I don’t know. We have to go back and watch film and see what we were lacking out there.”

Q: Do you feel like you got appropriate pressure on QB Carson Wentz considering he had a couple sprained ankles entering the game? – “We had decent pressure; we got to do better as a defense rushing him. Like I said, we have to watch film and see where we messed up on. We definitely left some money out there on the table so we just got to do a better job rushing.”

Q: Is this a reminder there’s no such thing as a “get right game?” On paper, the Colts come in with injuries to G Quenton Nelson, there’s a quarterback and some more? – “The Colts are a good team. On paper they might have been 0-3, but they were close in every game they played this year. Like I said, we got to be prepared better, play good complimentary football in all phases.”

Q: Is it frustrating as a defense if the offense deep into games only has three points and is not producing? Does it put a lot of pressure on you guys to get stops? – “It’s a team sport. When the offense is down, we have to pick them up. When the defense is down they have to pick us up. Special teams down, we have to pick them up, too. Just got to play good complimentary football. That’s it.

Q: With LB Jaelan Phillips and his progression in getting DT Raekwon Davis back in a couple of weeks, how do you see the future of the defensive line this season? – “We got to take it one game at a time. That starts with practice. We got to keep getting better at practice, do better an practice and do better in the game.”
