S Jevon Holland

Q. How fun was this for you guys tonight?

JEVON HOLLAND: Man, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed myself. I really did. I love this team. I love the way we’re going. I had a blast out there. I really did, man. I had a blast.

Q. Not just for the win, but how much fun is a game playing like that for you guys – I think it was 20-some odd defensive back blitzes throughout the night?

JEVON HOLLAND: It’s as much fun as any other game we’ve had. Going out there every night being able to put our talents on display. I mean, that’s the most fun I’ve ever had. Regardless of the game plan, I’m out there having fun, yeah.

Q. What’s the locker room like right now?

JEVON HOLLAND: Electric. Like a party.

Q. It’s a little different than last week.

JEVON HOLLAND: It’s a lot more exciting. A lot more excitement. Last week we needed that one. Came back and got this one. Got to keep moving.

Q. What do you feel like was the key to slowing down one of the best players in the NFL, Lamar Jackson?

JEVON HOLLAND: I said this earlier in the season, and I’m going to say it again. It’s the TNTs, the “takes no talent.” Running the ball, doing a little bit extra. Do your job and then try to do some more. That’s basically what it is, and that’s what it comes down to, the TNTs. The Ravens, Lamar (Jackson), they’re a hell of a team. A hell of a team. I think we did a good job out there.

Q. What did you think when Jacoby went down and it was time for Tua to go in?

JEVON HOLLAND: Next man up. That’s the type of team that we are. We prepare everybody week in and week out and make sure we’re all prepared in case somebody goes down, and that’s what happened, and that’s what it was. Tua stepped up.

Q. How do you compare some of the performances by the defense earlier in the season to what we saw tonight? It seems like it was kind of night and day.

JEVON HOLLAND: That’s in the past. We’re a week-by-week team, game-by-game, play-by-play. One meeting at a time. One walkthrough at a time. One practice at a time. What happened in the past happened in the past. We can’t dwell on it. It is what it is, and we move to the next week.

Q. Are you coming straight from the field?

JEVON HOLLAND: What does that mean?

Q. You sound like you’re …

JEVON HOLLAND: Oh, it’s turned up in there. You know, screaming and all that, laughter, but I am tired. (laughter)

Q. What do you feel like you figured out a little bit, you know, at this point for you in comparison to where you were in the preseason?

JEVON HOLLAND: Good question. I mean, really it’s playing in the NFL. Getting experience on the field full speed. That’s basically what it is. Just becoming more comfortable within myself. Becoming my own player on the field. I would say that was it.

Q. Jevon, you know how good the Ravens are. What do you think a win like this can do for you guys in terms of building something for the season?

JEVON HOLLAND: The same as the win that we had last week. Every step we get this W, we get the next W. It’s spring-boarding us forward, giving us confidence when we need it. Like I said last week, we needed that. We needed this, and you all saw it out there. We put our heart on the field, and that’s what we plan on doing every night.

Q. Do you want to talk about Coach Gerald Alexander and your history with him in college years and how he might have an impact on your ability to face – to be all over the field. What does his coaching mean to you?

JEVON HOLLAND: His coaching means a lot. He’s a hell of coach. He has a game plan. He understands how to teach instead of just telling guys what to do. Back in high school he recruited me at Cal, and I ended up going to Oregon, although I wanted to go to Cal. I had to get away from home. It was in my backyard. Coach G.A. (Gerald Alexader), he is a hell of a coach. He really is. He is one of the best coaches that I’ve had. I think his understanding of the game is second to none, and he is able to break it down to us, you know, piece by piece, and I think that alone helps us understand the defense and helps us execute every week.
