DT Davon Godchaux

(You guys made such strides against the Chargers holding them to under 100 rushing yards. What was the difference in that game?) – “The Chargers? I feel like in the second half we came out flat. We’ve got to play (well) for all four quarters. I don’t think we’ve done that this season, so we’re going to try to take this approach against the Washington Redskins – a team that just fired their head coach, is coming in looking for a win. We’re looking for a win, too. Both of us haven’t won a game, so we’re looking for a win. We know nobody is going to give it to us. We’ve got to come out fast.”

(What did you guys do better that game in terms of stopping the run?) – “I think everybody just played their gap, made plays, read their keys. It’s really nothing different. I look at like – (against) the Cowboys, we had it pretty good before halftime. Ezekiel Elliott ran free on our pass-rush group. I think (against) the Chargers, we really locked in; but we’ve got to come out fast in the second half.”

(How much pain is it to have the worst rush defense in the league?) – “It’s very painful when you look at that. I don’t try to look at it; but hey, it is what it is. The stats are there; but at the end of the day, we just try to get better each and every week. Coming in this week with the Washington Redskins, they’re looking for a win and we’re looking for a win. The best team is going to win.”

(But you’ve got to take that personal?) – “Oh, 100 percent you’ve got to take it personal. At the end of the day, I look at it like to have a great defense – look at the old school Pittsburgh Steelers defense – you’ve got to be able to stop the run. If you can’t stop the run on defense, then you have no great defense. So I think it all starts with stopping the run. You see guys like Taco (Charlton) – you want to get the sacks. Everybody wants to get the sack. Everybody wants to do this, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to stop the run. If you don’t stop the run, you don’t have no fun. (laughter) I learned that from ‘Coach O’ at LSU (Head Coach Ed Orgeron).”
