(What were your impressions of Brock Bowers, obviously a rookie with a lot of potential in this league?) – “Yeah, really good player, got a lot of potential like you said. He’s going to be a good player for a long time.”

(You can see him on film, but did sort of the way he moved surprise some of you guys a little bit once you saw him in person?) – “No, I mean he’s a good player. They had an emphasis to get him the ball. So like I said, he’s a good player. He’s going to be a good player in this league for a long time.”

(With this team, this season, obviously putting together the two wins, it kind of seems headed in the right directions. How do you continue to maintain that focus of each week at a time?) – “Just one game at a time and focus on what you have in winning the day, winning the meeting, winning practice, winning the walkthroughs. Just attention to detail, being present in those moments and focusing on what’s important now. Yeah, we got two wins in a row, but we’d like to keep that going, but it starts in the week.”

(Judging from reaction in the locker room, I guess the guys on defense weren’t happy with product. I know you get the ‘W,’ but you guys weren’t satisfied with that performance, were you?) – “Obviously, we won the game – there’s things we could do better and things that we want to do better, but 19 points, give up 19 points and you’re going to have a chance. But there’s definitely things that we want to continue to work on. It’s in the middle of the season, I think there’s not one team that would come out of a win or loss say there’s things that they don’t need to work on, so yeah. We’re still right in the thick of it and we want to continue to work.”

(What’s it like having your boy LB Tyrel Dodson back? He told us that you were hosting him for a little bit.) – “Yeah, he came over to the house for a couple days. It’s really cool for him to be here, someone that I played with for four years in Buffalo. Someone I’ve kind of seen grow into his own throughout the league, so it’s really cool to have him here. He’s going to be a good addition for our football team.”

(All the things that you guys talked about implementing and becoming in training camp earlier this year, do you see that stuff starting to come into fruition now?) – “I mean, yeah. Obviously, there was a lot of high expectations going into the year and we weren’t really living up to those expectations early on and just trying to find our stride, trying to find our rhythm offensively, defensively, special teams, and then even collectively. We’re hitting those strides, and we want to continue to get better. This is a pivotal point of the season. We kind of dug ourselves in a hole a little bit, so like I said, being able to focus on each moment, each day, each meeting and continue to just work and focus on what’s important right now.”

(Third down defense, obviously very strong against the Rams, and then the Raiders were able to convert some of those. What were you noticing were some of the challenges this time around?) – “Yeah, they had a good plan. There’s some things we can do better, but they had a good plan.”

(What does CB Storm Duck bring when he’s in the lineup? He played for his first time in a while there.) – “Yeah, I enjoy playing with Storm (Duck). He’s a great player, a great young player. He’s going to play in the league for a long time; smart, instinctive, can run, he can play off, he can press. He’s someone that I trust out there on the football field to know what he’s got to do.”
