LB Emmanuel Ogbah

(I know you’re fighting through injury. A lot of guys are fighting through injury, but when you look across the field, you see a lot of guys coming back now, playing through it even though the record isn’t where you want it to be. What does it say about this team that you guys haven’t given up, still want to keep fighting?) – “It’s just the brotherhood we have here. The will to fight and the will to fight for your brothers. I’m not the only fighting through injuries, a lot of people, and we’re happy to have those guys coming back this week. They were definitely needed and it’s going to boost our whole team up.”

(You guys have been so close the past couple of weeks, even going really back three weeks – 10 points has been the difference between these last three games. What is the thing that needs to happen for you guys to finish?) – “Just keep chopping wood. Obviously it’s not going our way right now, but we’ve just got to keep playing, got to keep going hard. The sky’s the limit.”

(What is the message from Head Coach Mike McDaniel after these practices when you’re gearing up for another primetime game on the West Coast in the situation you’re in?) – “We control our destiny. The world’s watching now, you got to go out there and prove that you can do it.”

(I was just curious, I think it was DT Calais Campbell who mentioned if you guys play the way you did against Buffalo, you’re going to beat almost every team. But when the margin of error is so thin, what’s the line there between playing guarded so you don’t make a mistake but also playing all out so you can win?) – “Just do your job. Trust the man next to you is going to do his. So like I said, just keep on fighting, keep on playing for the man next to you. And the sky’s the limit, but we have to study more and just do your job, don’t mess up, don’t be the reason why.”

(DT Zach Sieler was back out there today, what was it like having him back out on there? I can see you smiling immediately.) – “Everybody loves when Zach (Sieler) is out there. He makes stuff go and we’re glad to have him back out there.”

(Speaking of DT Calais Campbell, what was it like watching him chase down QB Josh Allen last week? He ran like 30 yards to go get that tackle.) – “Man, that guy can run. But it just speaks of how his work ethic and how he works. Year 17 and he’s still doing that, you just look at that and draw inspiration from that.”

(What’s noticeably missing out there when DT Zach Sieler isn’t there? What has it been like the last few games? What did you notice was missing?) – “Just a lot, him bringing the team together, bringing the defense together, making big plays, giving us that spark that we were missing. We’re just glad to have him back.”

(DT Calais Campbell is 38 years old, are you going to be playing until you’re 38, 39, 40 or what?) – “We’ll see man. (laughter) I’m just taking it one year at a time.”
