S Jevon Holland

(Your thoughts on going up against a team like Buffalo?) – “I’m excited, it’s going to be a fun game. Hostile environment, but that makes the game a lot more fun so I’m excited to play.”

(When you play a quarterback with athleticism and size like Bills QB Josh Allen, what are some of the biggest challenges especially if you’re not using a spy on him?) – “His added ability in the run game. It’s definitely something that people tend to highlight. He’s able to extend plays with his feet, so I think that’s one of the main things that an issue. And then like I said, he’s able to extend plays with his feet, continue to keep his eyes down field, get out of the pocket, scramble drill. They are really all in sync – the receivers and Josh so it makes it a little more difficult for sure.”

(Take us through your mindset when you see a ball carrier, and you see maybe more of the ball exposed more than it ought to be, what’s going through your mind?) – “I just be thinking about the ball for real. When they are running with the rock obviously I’m trying to get to them so I can tackle them, but if the ball flashes, then I try to get my hand in there and punch it out. It’s something that we work on in practice and talk about in meetings a lot.”

(Have you stepped up your eyes on the ball trying to force more turnovers this year more than even before?) – “No, I try to force as many turnovers as possible whenever I get the opportunity to. They just happened to roll my way this time.”

(What do you see from Bills QB Josh Allen in terms of ball security? What do you see on tape?) – “Sometimes he holds the ball out there a little bit, but he’s trying to extend the play, he’s trying to make a play. If the play happens and happens to come to us and a situation happens like that where the ball out or anything like that, we’re going to try to punch it out. If the ball flashes, we’re going to try to knock the ball out, that’s the goal, try to get the ball back.”

(You’re the No. 1 safety on Pro Football Focus, I know at one point you mentioned that you wanted to be feared around the NFL. Now that you’re starting to get that kind of recognition how does that feel?) – “It feels good, but it doesn’t really carry over to next week, so if I’m not performing week in and week out, then it doesn’t even really matter. It does feel good though. My dad is happy. If anybody is happy… my pops. He’s definitely bragging to his homeboys and what not.”

(As a player I know you don’t like PFF, but if you’re No. 1 you got to love that right?) – “Yes, and no. PFF – it is what it is so take it with a grain of salt.”

(Madden rating or PFF, which one is more important?) – “Really the one that’s more important is what ‘Baldy’ (Brian Baldinger) thinks of me. That’s the most important. He’s like the best analyst I’ve come across. I love what ‘Baldy’ says. If I’m in ‘Baldy’s’ breakdowns at the end of the week, then I know I did something right.”

(Do you get a lot of critiques from your dad?) – “Yes and no. My dad played DB at a high level so he taught me everything I know. So yes and no, yes and no.”

(How’s the cookie business?) – “Closed now. It’s over now, but it was good thought while it lasted. It was fun.”
