DE Emmanuel Ogbah

(QB Derek Carr, it’s two games into the season, but he’s leading the league in passing yards by a pretty wide amount. What is he doing differently this year compared to, he’s been typecast as a conservative passer in years past?) – “He’s making a lot of good plays for them, which we’ve seen on film. This is probably the best year he’s had going into the season. But yeah, he’s making a lot of big plays for them. He’s playing well for them and we have to be prepared for that.”

(What’s the key with stopping a guy like TE Darren Waller? Is it bumping him off the beginning of his route, is it rotating coverages? Obviously as a defensive end, you might not be covering him that much but what do you think is a key?) – “Just affecting him, whatever way you can. If you got put your hands on him, you got to put your hands on him. You can’t let him get out. Just do a good job containing him. A guy like that is kind of hard to contain. He’s going to get his eventually but you’ve got to do a good job containing him.”

(LB Jerome Baker was talking about how excited he was to play in that stadium with fans because it was so amazing to be there last year even without fans. What are you looking forward to going back to that – obviously it was a crazy game too but just being back in that building?) – “It’s going to feel good. We are going to have fans this time. I can’t wait to get out there and just ball out. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be exciting. They’re going to have a good game plan and we are too. I’ve just got to go out there and do the best I can to help this team win games.”

(They gave half a sack to LB Andrew Van Ginkel?) – “(Laughter). Oh yeah, he made him not move around. I appreciate Ginkel for that.”

(Do you plan to appeal?) – “It is what it is, it’s a team sport.”

(The last game I thought S Jevon Holland had a forced fumble when he made the guy flip – sometimes it’s hard to tell – but it was really CB Byron Jones.) – “Yeah, yeah you know you’ve got to go back and watch film to see what really happened on the play.”

(It does say something about the defense doesn’t it, in terms of when game-changing plays happen, it’s usually more than one guy.) – “Yeah. Like I said, we all want the ball and we all go for the ball so we all attack the ball. If one guy makes a play, another guy’s got to be there to scoop it up.”

(Going back to that game last year in Las Vegas, what was it like on the sideline in that crazy final minute?) – “So much emotion. It was exciting getting that win. Las Vegas is a different team this year and we’ve got to be prepared for them. They have different schemes than last year. They have different people out there, different offensive linemen. We just have to be prepared for them this year.”

(On most of the rushes in the last game, the defense did a good job but there’s always that one or two like the 46-yarder. When a long run happens, what usually do you notice about that play?) – “When a long run happens, everybody is down because they gave up that big run. But that’s what we go to do is move on to the next play. It’s a new down so we’ve got to do our best to stop them from making that same mistake.”

(I didn’t phrase that the right way, what usually went wrong?) – “We will watch film and see what normally goes wrong. Either somebody missed their gap or something happens. Like I said, we all got to run to the ball, regardless.”
