LB Bradley Chubb

(The dreaded day in football. What are you feeling today?) – “It’s just a little unfortunate. All the things that this team went through this year and the position we were in, we still had an opportunity to make noise and just came up short. It’s a bittersweet day because you know what’s coming in the future and what we could build off of and what we could do mentality-wise and overall. It’s cool, but it’s going to hurt over the offseason. It’s an added use for motivation. I know me and ‘JP’ (Jaelan Phillips) talked last night, man, we’re just going to get to it and understand that we just have to (hone our) craft, make sure we’re leading the pack and make sure we’re doing everything we can do to help this organization take it to the next step.”

(When they brought you in, there was a boost. There was a boost that you felt and then a bunch of things happened, from injuries to guys out to the uncertainty.) – “No doubt, and that’s how the NFL season goes. There’s so much uncertainty out there and we just have to understand it. We saw how it was. We just have to do a better job controlling it in the future. Adversity and all that, change and all that, it helps out in the future. So I’m just excited to see where this thing goes.”

(What do you build off of this season?) – “There’s a lot of things we can build off of – just the offense, how they came and exploded, and everybody just saw their growth. The defense, when I came, everybody felt, like you said, the added bolt of energy and seeing how everybody kind of came together towards the end in playoff football. We started playing a little bit better as a whole unit and just building off that. Understanding who the leaders are, following those guys and setting the standard and setting the tone of where we want to be as a team. Once that happens, man, everything is going to be exactly where we need it.”

(For you, how much more impactful do you think you can be next season looking ahead since you’ll be there from the beginning?) – “Man, just very impactful. Going through OTAs, going through the offseason program, getting closer with the guys, because football, man, the game is the game, but I feel like it’s the relationships that take it to the next level. I came in, made good relationships with guys, but I want to take it to the next level and be there when their kid gets born and they’re saying, ‘Uncle Chubb,’ and stuff like that – take it to that level. I feel like we can do that, we’re going to do that and it’s going to be fun when it all comes together.”

(Between you and LB Jaelan Phillips, how scary can this combination be?) – “It could be real scary, man. It could be real scary. We’re looking forward to all the things that we’ve got coming ahead and looking forward to the future.”
