S Jordan Poyer

(So as a unit, what are you happy about collectively that you’ve done and where’s the biggest area that you guys and Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver would like improvement?) – “It’s continuous improvement. I think just continuing to stay together as a unit and guys just doing their one-eleventh, that’s including myself. Everybody just honing in on the philosophy of our defense. The things that we’ve done well – we’re running to the ball, we’re playing extremely hard. We were talking about it earlier; these last three games, it’s probably been the first time our unit has been fully, collectively together since maybe even before OTAs, so it’s just continuing to stay the course and trust in the process and trust in the talent that we have and the coaches that we have. It’s Week 4, so it’s part of it. This is the NFL. Adversity comes and how you’re going to handle it, so we’re right in the thick of it right now so just continuing to keep working.”

(When you play with backup quarterbacks and the offense is struggling like it was Sunday in Seattle, as defenders do you feel pressure to make more happen on defense, even try to score on defense?) – “No, that should be your idea each and every week going into the game. Finding ways to get your offense the ball back and ideal field position and even scoring. And you really try to not look at the other side of the ball because you’ve got your job to do, and when you’re seeing the games and how they unfold, there are times where we’ve got to get the ball and we’ve got to think to score. But yeah, as a defensive player each and every game, you want to go into the game understanding how that offense is trying to attack you and finding ways to get the ball off of them and put our offense in good field position.”

(Have you seen CB Kendall Fuller? How is he doing?) – “He’s doing good.”

(Have you been in a situation where you’re on the third quarterback for the game?) – “I’m sure – I mean, in Cleveland for sure. We didn’t know who the hell was going to be quarterback that week. But like I said, it’s just part of it, right? There’s a million excuses – you could say this, that or the other, but it’s just part of our season right now and just having to like I said, keep your head down and keep working and not worry about the who’s playing where or whatever. We have a job to do and our job is to go out there and stop obviously the offense to our best ability and get the football back to our offense.”

(How much time have you had so far this week to look at anything the Titans do or how much do you know about the Titans offense and Titans QB Will Levis?) – “We’re about to have a meeting here in about 30 minutes to kind of go over their KGB. I haven’t had too much time to look at them, but this is the NFL. This is a good football team. They’re a hungry football team, and we’re going to have to play extremely well to win on Monday night.”
