CB Byron Jones

(When you have a player with WR Henry Ruggs’ type of speed, obviously you see that a lot in practice here with the team. How does that impact your style of play and mindset?) – “You just have to understand how they want to use him and when they want to use him. He’s a big-play threat and obviously he’s taking the top off of the defense. Understanding the sets that they like to use him in and understand the position on the field in which his best routes are going to be coming from. The defense, we talk to each other on the back end like, ‘Hey, it’s tight split here, maybe nasty.’ Then talking to the safety and understanding that the backside corner can help us as well. Just understanding the set that you are getting and what they want to get out of it, essentially.”

(I don’t know how involved you’ll be in this aspect but covering TE Darren Waller, what does that take from a defense as a whole?) – “He’s big, fast, strong and he runs great routes. It just takes everybody. It takes good pressure. It takes good coverage. It’s a team effort. He’s a really good player and we’ll have our hands full.”

(What are your impressions of Las Vegas QB Derek Carr and what he’s done so far this year?) – “He’s rolling. When I watch the film, he’s making very decisive throws and he’s taking what the defense is giving him and he’s taking really good shots when he needs to. They’re really rolling right now. It’s a fun challenge for us on the backend. It’s a fun challenge for us as a team. But no, he’s definitely playing good. He’s been playing good for his entire career, so nothing new on that one.”
