(I was curious about the last play of the last game prior to the field goal. After the game, Head Coach Brian Flores said that it could have been played a little tighter – the defense that was called. And Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer talked about how he could have made some coaching points that might have helped on that play. What if anything – it’s a bang-bang play but what, if anything, could you or would you have done differently?) – “I think I just would have paid attention to the situation that we were in. Obviously with three, I don’t know how many seconds they had on the clock left but it was definitely a learning experience for me and I think did I have to touch him right then and there, could I have waited and maybe the one second that ran off the clock. It is what it is at this point. Like I said, it’s just a learning experience for me and just taking what happened and learn from it at the end of the day.”

(What was the experience like as far as you guys landed at like 2:30 Monday morning, which means you probably got to bed around 4:30 or something like that. Just getting your body clock right again and then coming back to work, what have the last couple of days been like for you?) – “That was tough. The biggest thing for me is that I usually don’t sleep on planes, but I had to force myself especially with a nine-hour flight back, being sore and tired after the game. I kind of forced myself to get an hour or two of sleep. I usually wake up really early so it didn’t really affect my clock that much. I got home at like 3:30 or something like that and had wake up early, come in and take care of my body and stuff. I think it was tough. I think the flight there was actually a little bit rougher to me because I had to force myself to get sleep because we had walkthroughs and meetings and stuff the next morning when we landed. That was definitely the hardest thing but overall, it was an awesome experience and I’m glad I got to be a part of that.”

(Is it kind of a good thing in a weird way that – I know you guys want to fix this and get back out there – that you don’t have to sit around for a bye with a losing streak on you? I know after the trip that everyone would like a few days off, sure. But is it a good thing in a weird way that you guys get back out there?) – “Oh yeah, especially for us. I think we’re just all at this point super hungry and ready to just get a win, especially just based off of the work we put in, the amount of time we put into this and just how much we care and love each other as players. And how much we respect the coaching staff and know that they put us in the best position that they can. At the end of the day, we just have to do a better job of executing. Once we can put that together, I think we can definitely string some wins together.”

(What was your perspective of CB Noah Igbinoghene’s play?) – “Noah played good, especially just him being a little up and down. He definitely did well. I think it was cool for me just to sit out there and see all the younger guys, a lot of the younger DBs out there being able to play and just build our communication and our overall learning and knowing how each other play. I think that’s always cool. I think for the most part, he did a really good job of holding his own and making plays when he could.”
