S Jevón Holland

(You played very well Monday. Did you feel anything on the knee at all or you felt completely back to your normal self?) – “It was a little grab here, grab there, but nothing I couldn’t get through. It felt good to be back out there flying around.”

(One thing that came out in Head Coach Mike McDaniel’s press conference today, I don’t know if you’ve seen the clips on social media, a guy who was in your room last year DeShon Elliott said on a podcast, “The team I was on last year, the majority of the team were not mentally tough individuals. They were soft as bleep.” Have you heard that he had made that comment? What’s your reaction? Is there any truth to that?) – “I heard he made the comment, I saw the clip. I mean honestly man, if you want to call somebody out, go ahead and do that and drop names, but other than that, it’s whatever makes your boat float, whatever allows you to have a good night of sleep, it is what it is. But if you’re not naming nobody, you’re not calling nobody out, then all the rest of the comments are just empty. You’re just talking at that point. I wish nothing but the best for DeShon, he’s having a great year. I hope he continues that success, but other than that, that (expletive) don’t really mean nothing to me.”

(What can one singular win do for your momentum here?) – “It changes the whole thing. I think last week’s win really helps us take that step forward, because we were building on a lot of good things and I think a win solidifies that we’re continuing to trend in the right direction.”

(How are you handling the short week here? Cross country flight, 1 o’clock game Sunday, not a whole lot of time between kickoff.) – “Just been sleeping when you can, I think that’s the magic medicine – as much sleep as possible. Definitely from Monday’s game to now, getting as much sleep as possible.”

(It was a great night for the players, great night for Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver with the game plan that he devised on Monday. What do you like about how he has run this defense?) – “It’s very player based. He’s really thinking about how to put us in the best position possible to go out there and be successful and put our attributes on the table and try to put us in position to make sure that each and every individual strength is magnetized in the defense. I think with that, he does a great job making the play call and putting us in the right position when it counts.”

(What do the Raiders bring to the table?) – “They’re a good team. They’ve got a bunch of weapons on offense. They’ve got a hell of a tight end, Bay Area product, so I’m really looking forward to playing them. It’s just another challenge in this upcoming week, I’m looking forward to it. They were a good team last year. They played us well last year, so I’m assuming that they’re going to play us well this year. They’re going to be a scrappy team; they’ve got a good defense and I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be a dogfight.”

(Extra hype celebration from you making those big plays, I think the entire defense was just kind of like what had been planned all along with Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver. Is this the type of defense we should be seeing every single week?) – “You’re talking about successful like getting sacks and what not? Yeah, absolutely-”

(Maybe not those numbers, but I’m sure you guys have not been living up to exactly what you guys wanted with all the injuries and everything?) – “Going through injuries kind of puts a damper on the complete success of the defense, but I think last game was a peek into what our defense can do. I think as the weeks go on, we’re just going to continue to build on that performance. If the plays come to us and we make the plays, I think that’s going to go well for us.”
