DE Emmanuel Ogbah

(If I’m not mistaken, you’re normally in a three-point stance guy for most of your career?) – “Yes, sir.”

(How’s it converting to a two-point stance?) – “It’s new for me but I have the option to go three point or two point, if I want to. Right now, I’m just practicing my two point because I’m not familiar with it. But yeah, I’m getting better every day.”

(So you can put your hand in the ground, if you choose to?) – “Yeah, I can. I have the option. Sometimes I have to drop too. It’s hard to drop from a three-point stance, so I have to rush from a two-point and drop.”

(This scheme obviously goes back to your rookie season. How much overlap do you feel like there is?) – “Just a little bit, but I know in Cleveland, I was primarily with the rush guys. So even though we had drops, you rush. I’m still getting used to dropping in coverages and all that but like I said, I’m getting better every day.”

(I wondered this, why don’t you work inside?) – “I do work inside. We’re just trying to master the outside because this is something new to me. It’s still new for me. So I’m trying to master outside first.”

(What was your reaction when they let you know that they’d like you to play in the previous game?) – “I was kind of surprised but then again, I was okay with it because I needed that. I needed that little warm up game. The last time I played on that field, I tore my triceps. I needed that experience. And I didn’t really play much either.”

(Are you getting some home cooking down here?) – “Oh, yeah, come on now. My mom’s down the street. I had some good Nigerian food. Might go back tonight, grab a little bit and come back to the hotel.”
