LB Emmanuel Ogbah

(How tough has the challenge been with just having to chase really mobile quarterbacks the last two weeks and again another one on Sunday with Bills QB Josh Allen?) – “Yeah, it has been tough trying to bring mobile quarterbacks down, but we’ve just got to keep corralling to the ball, running to the ball and shooting our shot.”

(What were you seeing that was different without having DT Zach Sieler in there?) – “He was definitely missed. Just kind of like containing Kyler (Murray), too, he’ll do a good job of actually pushing the pocket to make our jobs easier on the edge. It was definitely tough not having him out there.”

(When do you guys looked at the tape today, the second half, what was the one thing that really stood out to you?) – “I don’t know, I would say some busts, a lot of busts – it’s self-inflicted wounds that we just got to fix and correct. We can’t have those mistakes come this week.”

(Is it more mental than anything?) – “I wouldn’t say it’s mental, I feel like guys are trying to do too much, just trying to help their brothers out. I would say just trying to do too much, just do your job.”

(From an optimistic standpoint, you haven’t had a ton of that this year. Do you feel like this is something you can put behind you pretty quick?) – “Yeah, our mistakes we made are more self-inflicted so we could correct that, we could fix that, so just looking forward to this week.”

(What’s the feeling right now at 2-5? You were one of the guys that was here in that 1-7 season that turned around to a point, but you never want to be digging yourself out of that deep of a hole.) – “It’s not too late. We’ve still got a lot of games left to be played. We got a divisional opponent coming up, we’ve got to go out there and handle business.”

(I know after the first Bills game it seemed like a lot of players went into like a mental hole, what are you guys going to try to do to correct that going into Sunday’s game?) – “Just see what we messed up on the first time we played them. Be more prepared, we have our backs against the wall now, so we’ve got to fight. We can’t go in there scared, we’ve just got to shoot our shot like I said.”

(DT Da’Shawn Hand has been playing a lot of snaps and good ones it seems. What have you seen from him and his play up front?) – “Hand, he’s been here last year. I like Da’Shawn, he plays hard. It was his time to step up and he did that. We appreciate him for that.”

(It looked like there were a couple times where you guys had a shot at Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, and he got just that much away from you guys. How did you see it and how do you change that this upcoming game against Bills QB Josh Allen?) – “Kyler (Murray) is a hard dude to tackle. He’s real shifty, small so you can’t even really see him until you’re right next to him. But we’ve just got to do a better job – our angles, our angles were bad chasing him during the game. We got another mobile quarterback coming in, so we’ve got to affect Josh (Allen) too.”

(The run defense, this was the first game that you guys held a team under 100 yards and then Buffalo coming up, they had 108 last time you guys played them. But that Bills RB James Cook run for 48 was pretty much all they had. How do you look at the run defense this season and what’s the strategy on Sunday against James Cook?) – “Don’t give up the explosives. We’ve got to do a better job at stopping the explosive runs. That’s kind of our Achilles heel, getting beat on the explosive plays. So just running to the ball and just doing your assignment and trust that the man next to you will do his.”

(Whenever the time comes that LB Bradley Chubb could come back, what kind of boost does he provide?) – “It’s a definitely spark for us. Having a guy like that come back, definitely needed, but he’s doing good with the rehab, he’s coming on strong and can’t wait to have him back, too.”
