S Jevon Holland

(You guys have the Browns this week. I know they’ve got a really good running game, but you also have a little bit of familiarity with QB Jacoby Brissett. What do you see out of that offense?) – “It’s an electric offense. They’ve got plenty of tools. Very dynamic. It’s a big week for us, especially for our defense, and I’m looking forward to it. Jacoby is a good guy and I’m looking forward to seeing out there, playing against him.”

(Are you excited to get home after the way you’ve been able to stack a couple wins here on the road and just kind of be back in that atmosphere again?) – “Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I love playing at home. It’s awesome and we’ve been away, like you said. But I’m glad to be back and finally back in the mix of Miami, for sure.”

(We were talking to Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer today and he said the one thing he wants to really hone-in the second half of the season is getting off the field on third down. What’s the key to that? What’s maybe not been clicking for the defense?) – “Just playing technique honestly. Just doing what the coaches say and going out there and executing. There’s nothing really else to it, no secret sauce or nothing like that. You’ve just got to play the down for what it is and execute.”

(I was wondering within like practice, how do you as a defensive player and as a captain, kind of look at the defense? Because on paper you might not be top of the league in a lot of stats, but when the games matter, you guys are making stops.) – “Yeah, we’re just a one-play-at-a-time organization and you’ve just got to attack it for what it is and that’s really how we see it on both sides of the ball. Next play kind of thing. If you mess up, you mess up. You’ve just got to keep on going. The game gets tough. You’re taking some punches and whatnot. They get you in the first half; it is what it is, but as long as you finish the game with one more point than the other team, then you win the game. So that’s what really matters.”

(I have to ask because I saw you dancing out there. Are you the best dancer on this team?) – “I would probably say yes. Absolutely, 100 percent. I mean, it’s up for debate, but if you ask me, then I’m definitely the best dancer on the team for sure.”

(Just last week you were ranking the best celebrations. What’s your assessment of WR Tyreek Hill’s backflip?) – “I didn’t see it in person, but I have to give it No. 1 just because of all the memes that they’ve been posting. Those have been pretty funny, so I think it’s up there for sure.”

(I wanted to ask you about being in close games. What do you think is the biggest key at the end of the game, closing those games out?) – “Honestly, having a peaceful mind. Sometimes you can let emotions get the best of you. It’s a big game and you kind of get besides yourself or even the moment itself. It can get too big, but really just kind of staying within your keys, understanding that it’s just another down regardless of it’s the game to win a Super Bowl or if it’s the game to just win one game in the regular season. You’ve just got to play it for what it is and go out there and execute.”

(Do you think that’s what separates good and great teams in this league, is being able to close out and finish and come on top of those tight games?) – “Yeah, what separates good and great teams is being able to dominate game-in and game-out and cause turnovers and whatnot and just completely nullify an offense both mentally and physically. But I think that is definitely a part of it, being able to finish and being able to secure those games when it does fall on the defense.”
