DT Raekwon Davis

(I asked Defensive Line Coach Marion Hobby about this this week about the potential long-term of you and DT Christian Wilkins. Obviously he’s excited about it. Do you and Christian ever talk about forming the basis of a long-term defensive line unit here? Is that ever anything you all talk about the future?) – “We just hope we be around each other for a long time. We love this team, we love the defense, we love the head coach, we love the defensive coordinator, we love everything about it. We just hope we be around each other forever, for real.”

(It’s kind of nice to see everyone smiling and laughing because football is a serious business and everyone is very serious. Do you know a side of Tua that’s actually kind of funny? What if anything does he do that makes people smile?) – “He has this weird dance that he be doing. I actually recorded him one time doing it. He does this dance and it’s just so funny. I don’t know where he got it from. It’s a Hawaiian thing, I guess.”

(You and Defensive Line Coach Marion Hobby have talked about you coming along and playing better in the second half of the season. I’m curious from your perspective, what’s next? What can you do to take your game to another level here at the end of the season?) – “Just keep working and keep processing. Just keep learning my playbook and just stay ahead of the game. That’s about it for me.”

(Can QB Tua Tagovailoa dance?) – “He’s got some moves.”

(How does QB Tua Tagovailoa rank as far as best dancers on the team?) – “I don’t know. I’ve got ‘Bake’ (Jerome Baker). I’ve got ‘Bake.’ ‘Bake’ is probably the best dancer on the team right now.”

(What about playing the world champs brings out the best in you?) – “Last year, they just won the Super Bowl so they are a great team – a great offense, great defense.  I’m very familiar with Chris Jones. I worked with him during the offseason. A great group of guys.”

(Being unusually tall for your position, how often do you have to remind yourself or how often are your coaches reminding you to stay low, stay low, stay low?) –“Not all the time; but sometimes I can pop up. I am 6-foot-7, so sometimes I get high. I just try to stay low and do the best I can. It’s hard though.”

(You’ve played games at the highest level at the level you played previously in college. What does it take to win a big game when everybody is watching and all of the pressure is on?) – “Just everybody focusing and everybody together. Defend the deep part of the field, communicate, setting the edge and tackling. That’s where it starts.”

(You guys have faced a few good quarterbacks this year, but I guess QB Patrick Mahomes is unique. When you watch him, what stands out about what he does and what issues he may give you guys on Sunday?) – “He’s accurate with his throws. He’s quick. He gets it out real fast, he gets it out hot and he’s fun to watch. He makes unbelievable throws. It’s crazy how he makes them throws.  He’s a nice quarterback. It’s crazy I’m fitting to play Pat Mahomes.”
