CB Bobby McCain

(How does it feel to go up against QB Aaron Rodgers?) – “It’s my first time. I’ve never played him. I’m excited to play him. I’m excited to go to Lambeau (Field) and get a game in and hopefully come home with a win. We know we have a great challenge ahead of us. It’s a great opportunity. (It’s) a good opportunity for us to go out and show what we are capable of. We are playing one of the best quarterbacks in the game to ever play, so it’s a good opportunity for us.”

(Is QB Aaron Rodgers somebody you’ve watched on TV at any point and be like ‘it will be fun to go against him?’) – “One-hundred percent, one-hundred percent. You see all of the Hail Marys and all of the crazy sidearm passes he makes on TV and stuff like that. It’s an exciting opportunity and I can’t wait. I want to see in person what he’s all about and I know he’s one of the great ones.”

(You got some time at slot on Sunday. Did it feel like old times there a little bit?) – “Yeah, it felt good. I’m just doing whatever for the team. We got the W and that’s important. We’ve got guys that can do a lot such as myself, Minkah (Fitzpatrick), T.J. (McDonald), and guys like Torry (McTyer) and guys that play all different kinds of positions. We (have guys that) can go inside, outside, guys can play safety, corner. Being able to do more in this league will keep you in the league.”

(Being able to do what you guys did against the Jets against Green Bay, would it validate even more what you guys can do?) – “Yes. We hope we can come out and have the same performance or an even better performance. I’m never going to go into a game second-guessing our defense, second-guessing ourselves. We want to make sure we go in prepared and the goal is to come out with a win regardless of how it happens. Whether it’s an ugly win, a pretty win, no matter what it is, a win is a win in this league.”

(Do you feel like a lot of what you all did Sunday is stuff you can build on?) – “Yes, 100 percent. We had four turnovers and four sacks I believe. That’s stuff you can definitely build off of as a defense and come in and get patted on the back for a day, and then go back to work on Wednesday. It happens fast. It’s a quick turnaround and now we’re ready for ‘12’ – Aaron Rodgers – and the Packers. We can go in and it gives us confidence in ourselves and we know what we’re capable of.”

(Do you feel like as a defense your best ball is ahead of you still?) – “One-hundred percent, 100 percent. We still haven’t played our best ball. We still haven’t played our best game. Even after we had the turnovers and sacks this week, it’s a great standard; but we want to be above the standard.”

(What’s it going to be like playing against a guy like QB Aaron Rodgers with that type of confidence? You mentioned the Hail Marys and the time on the clock or no matter how tight the window, he thinks he can execute the play.) – “Yeah, he can throw any ball. As a DB, you have to plaster and play your man tight and keep your eyes on him because he does a great job scrambling out of the pocket. He does a good job on the move, throwing on the move, throwing deep balls. He can do it all. He’s special with his arm. He has a special mind and he’s a special player. He’s athletic, he can run around, so we have to corral him and try to get it done.”

(This was probably going to be a cold game at 1 p.m. Now at 4:25 p.m. it’s going to be colder.) – “Yeah, it’s going to be a little chilly. It’s going to be a little chilly but we’re out there for a purpose. We have a job to do. It’s going to suck but at the end of the day, it’s football. If you aren’t playing in the cold weather in December or January, then you aren’t worth a damn.”

(What’s the coldest game you’ve played in?) – “Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, the playoff Wild Card (game in January 2017). I’ve never played in a game that cold ever in my life. I literally had snot bubbles freezing on my nose.”
