CB Kader Kohou

(I wanted to ask how you thought the secondary played yesterday. Obviously there was the two touchdowns, but that was really short field situations. How do you think you guys rebounded from the game against the Jets?) – “I feel like as a coaching staff and players we came in the room and tried to talk about the things we didn’t do good against the Jets, and I felt like we took a step forward. Obviously, there was some plays that we wanted back but I feel like overall, we played a decent game.”

(We all saw the update on WR Grant DuBose today. What did it mean for you guys to see some positive news there?) – “I mean Grant (DuBose) hasn’t been here for long, but he’s been a great friend since he’s been here and seeing him like that on that field was kind of – it hurt, but seeing that message this morning, seeing that he’s moving in a positive direction, it was like a blessing.”

(Has anyone talked to him? Has anyone reached out to him?) – “Not that I know of, no.”

(As a competitor, obviously football we know is a dangerous sport, but that’s the part none of us want to see. What was the emotion like for you and the rest of the team just seeing one of your boys down like that?) – “I think in that moment we forget the football aspect of it and we just were praying for him to get better. His family was at home watching, we’re just praying for them and hoping everything went smooth.”

(What’s the motivation, now? As the season, with three games left, what’s the motivation now for this year?) – “Playoffs.”

(Regardless, obviously the playoff chances took a big hit, just elaborate on this question. What do you guys do from here? I know you guys have to go out there and play the last three games, like anything, but you only can control what you can control. You guys need a lot of help, how do you guys approach all that?) – “Like we approached every game before that. Even if today they told us that we had zero chance to play in the playoffs, I feel like we’ve been working for this damn near our whole life. Some of us have been playing football since we were four just to get that moment. I don’t think you can take anything away from it. You just have to go out there and play a football game. There’s an opponent across from us that’s trying to beat us, so we don’t want to go out there and put anything bad on film. Like being competitors, playoffs or not, you still got to go out there and play football.”

(I wanted to ask you about the gift that LB Anthony Walker Jr. gave the whole locker room. What did that mean to you to see your high school?) – “Man, that brought back memories, a lot. I was really appreciative of that. I was in the sauna when they got it, so I just walked out and it was boxes, and I opened it with my jersey, kind of just took me back. A lot of memories and stuff like that. That was like probably one of the best gifts I had gotten in a while.”

(When was the last time you saw or put on your high school jersey or anything from your high school, before that?) – “My senior year, first round of playoffs. That was the last time, so yeah, that brought back a lot of memories.”

(What’s your favorite memory from those high school days?) – “Stuff I can’t talk about. (laughter)”

(With the jersey on, favorite memory with the jersey on?) – “With the jersey, it was like our first game my senior year, we played De La Salle and knowing them, they had their history of winning all those games and they were kind of like on the back end of them being undefeated and stuff like that, but they were still a good team, and it was like Cali against Texas and before the game there was a lot of lightning delays. So we held out like three times and we ended up going out there and winning that game, so that’s probably my biggest memory from high school.”
