Defensive End Cameron Wake

(On what he sees when he looks at the film of the Titans’ tackles) – “I see o-linemen. I don’t like o-linemen.” (laughter)

(On what he thinks the strengths are of the Titans’ tackles) – “I think they’re like o-linemen – they’re big, they’re slow and they’re ugly (laughter), just like most of the ones we have here. Us fast pretty guys like to take advantage of them.”

(On some of the challenges when facing a mobile quarterback) – “It’s the same old song and dance. Once you get in the backfield, you have to do your best to lower your center of gravity and put the ball on the ground. We’ve played (Titans QB Marcus Mariota) before and you’ve got to be aware of where he’s going to be. If he’s going to be moving around, you have to change your angle a little bit; but your aggressiveness can’t change. It’s going to be another day of attack football for us.”

(On how the defensive linemen counter all of the three-step drops they have seen this year) – “You keep rushing because at some point, they can’t throw the ball three steps every play. There are going to be situations and we have to try to dictate those situations where they hold the ball and the guys up front can get their job done. I’m not a genius, but if I was a quarterback, I probably wouldn’t hold the ball for too long either. That’s the way this business is. You’ve just got to keep rushing knowing that eventually things will change. You don’t want that one rush to be like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be a three-step (drop) and now it’s a five-step (drop).’ You’ve got to keep it going.”
