LB Elandon Roberts

(With the four-game win streak that you guys put together, obviously everybody is about staying the course and being committed to the program. How encouraging is it to see that it could help you turn around?) – “Each week, when you’re getting wins, of course they are better than losses. Everybody’s energy is up and is loving it. But every week we got a job to do, and that’s to just focus on what’s in front of us. This week it is the Giants. You’ve got Sunday to be excited about it and just feel good about the victory, but at the end of the day, you’ve got another opponent each week so you just get started on them. And this week it’s the Giants.”

(They seem to be going back and forth on which quarterback you’re going to face. What do you see out of each of those two guys? What differences do you see in their games?) – “I feel like anybody you put on the field is going to be kind of different from another guy. But one thing I can say is that they’ll be ready to go from an offensive standpoint. They are a very well-coached team. I know Joe Judge from being in New England with him and I know for a fact that he will have those guys ready to go. So whatever quarterback it is, we have to be ready to go defensively.”

(What stood out to you about N.Y. Giants Head Coach Joe Judge when you were with him?) – “He’s a very detailed guy, a hard-nosed coach. He wants it done right. He’s all about fundamentals, execution and not beating themselves. It’s going to be a 60-minute game.”

(Facing RB Saquon Barkley, obviously he’s had to come back from a couple of injuries, but obviously still a guy that is very respected in this league.) – “Oh, yeah. Most definitely. He’s one of the best backs in this league. He brings a lot to that offense, just like a lot of their other players. He’s the core of that offense. I’m not taking nothing from him. He’s a big part of their offense and we’ve got to be ready to go.”

(You all played seven linebackers last week. It seems like all of you are doing some of your best work. We see how LB Jaelan Phillips has improved, LB Andrew Van Ginkel is playing well, you’re playing well – LB Jerome Baker. What do you like about what your linebacker group offers? What skills do you have? What makes you feel good about your group?) – “I think each week we just all come in and see what we’re asked for that week, and then we go out there and make sure we’re doing it the best possible way we can for our guys next to us. I feel like that’s all you can ask for.”

(You’ve watched LB Jaelan Phillips and his development. How good could this guy be, do you think?) – “Jaelan is doing a real good job and I like everything about Jaelan on and off the field and stuff like that. I’m not trying to speak for Jaelan, but I think each week he comes in and tries to do his best to make sure that when it’s his time to make plays, he makes them. He’s doing a great job at it.”
