S Jevon Holland

(What have you seen out of the corners that have been elevated to bigger roles early in the season and playing the last game without CB Xavien Howard?) – “They’re doing their job. They’re stepping up to the plate like we ask them to. That’s what I expect because they’re high competitors.”

(You all allowed Jets RB Breece Hall to amass 197 total yards this past game. You guys face Vikings RB Dalvin Cook this week. How much are you guys focusing on that to try to limit him because he’s a South Florida guy, so you know he’s kind of going to get some touches on Sunday?) – “We’re going to work the game plan that the coaches give us.”

(How concerned are you about the turnovers not coming at it at a high rate? I know you had the interception, LB Melvin Ingram had the touchdown, but the last couple of games they haven’t come as constantly. Is that a concern? Or are you just kind of, we just do our job and they’ll come?) – “Just got to do your job and splash plays will happen.”

(Just at 3-2 the first quarter of the season, snap, done. How would you evaluate what you guys have done as a team?) – “We’ve done some good things, we’ve done some things that we wish we could take back and improve on. But overall, we’ll just continue to work hard and get better every day. That’s all you can do.”

(To preserve your undefeated home record, what are you requiring from the fans on Sunday? What kind of energy would you like to see from them?) – “I would hope they come out there and bring it, have a great time and be energetic. But regardless of the fans out there, we got to do our job. I would appreciate them being out there, livening things up for sure.”

(How much of a factor have the last two fourth quarters – you haven’t had CB Byron Jones, obviously, but then CB Xavien Howard also – how big a factor is that in the last two fourth quarters?) – “It’s large. Those two guys are very important people on the team and not just on the field, but also in the locker room. So not having them out there is definitely a blow that the defense takes. But like I said earlier, guys got to step up and do their job. We are professionals and we are grown men, so you got to take it on the chin. You’ve got to go into the game knowing that you don’t have those guys and execute.”

(I’m sure that Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer wishes he had two of you, one who could blitz and one who could be in coverage, but he only has only one of you. So you’ve been in coverage most of the time. You’ve blitzed very few times according to the metric sites. Would you like to blitz more ideally?) – “I’m probably going to do what the coach asks me to do. And in that, you see me doing more coverage than blitzing, so that’s just what I’m going to continue to do.”

(What changes when CB Xavien Howard isn’t on the field?) – “’X’ (Xavien Howard), I just leave over there and he does this thing. Not (that I) necessarily have to worry about another side of the field, but I know that ‘X’ is going to be over there battling, just like I know that Nik (Needham) is going to be over there battling. It’s some peace of mind knowing that he’s out there and he can make a splash play just like anybody else on the team, but he has a track record of getting the ball in his hands. It’s a comfortable feeling to know he’s over there.”

(Have you guys seen QB Teddy Bridgewater around the facility today? And if so, how is he?) – “Oh, yeah, he’s going good. I saw him today. Yeah, he’s doing well.”

(He seems like normal?) – “Yeah. I mean, yeah.”

(What’s your take on the circumstances under which he was out of the game, passing concussion test, but now the new rule – someone saw a stumble allegedly and he couldn’t come back in?) – “I think the league is taking great consideration into our health past football, which I deeply appreciate. I mean, football does end for everybody at some point and we have to live a regular life. So if they’re taking the steps to make sure that we continue to live a regular normal life without any repercussions or anything later down the line, then that’s what it’s going to be.”
