Defensive Line Coach Marion Hobby

(I wanted to ask you about the fourth-down run stop we saw there. It looked like DT Christian Wilkins and DE Emmanuel Ogbah were a big part of that. What did you see from that play and how can that type of a play in a game spark momentum in your favor?) – “It was a really big play – fourth-and-1 and I think they had already crossed pretty much midfield. It was a big turning point in the game. It was a pretty good knockback, that you could see both of those guys really came off the ball and knocked them in the backfield and made a heck of a play.”

(I wanted to ask you about DT Raekwon Davis. How would you assess his progress so far and how ready is he to handle a bigger workload?) – “I think he’s getting closer and closer and getting better and better each week. Time will tell. Like we’ve talked about earlier this year, this is a long season. Everybody in that room is counted on. One thing about pro football is you can’t keep 12 like you keep in college sometime, so those guys that you do keep on the roster have to keep getting better and better. I think he’s going to keep getting better as the season goes along.”

(Can you speak to the work ethic and the drive that DT Davon Godchaux has had over the last two seasons that you’ve been here with him? How have you guys kind of looked towards that defensive line rotation now that he may be out an extended period of time?) – “I’ll tell you what, working with him is a treat. I think every coach wants to work with someone who really loves to play football. He’s very conscientious about practice. He’s very conscientious about his play. One thing is he’s a great leader. His leadership in the room is second to none. I can always count on him as a leader. I also count him first is big time. He’s really progressed and I really enjoy coaching him.”

(I’m looking for some education from you here because I noticed S Eric Rowe kind of sneaks down onto the line of scrimmage a lot. I’m curious, do you ever work with him when it comes to playing down in the box?) – “No, I don’t ever work with Eric. He’s a little too fast for me. He runs too well to be in my group. (laughter) No, I don’t. I’ll tell you what, he does catch my eye with his speed and like the great play he made in the game when he did run the guy down on the sideline. His speed jumps out at you but I don’t have the pleasure of working with Eric.”
