CB Nik Needham

(Obviously it’s tough right now already having as many losses as you did all of last year. What’s the message in the locker room as you guys try to stay the course here?) – “The overall message is just sticking together as an overall team. Nobody needs to be pointing fingers and trying to play the blame game. We all could have made one more play that could help the team win the game. We just have to go back to the drawing board like we say every week. It gets repetitive but that’s what we need to do and limit the mistakes.”

(How do you keep that juice knowing that you are 1-6?) – “Are you talking about as a team?”

(Yeah and maybe you personally, too. Maybe both.) – “As a team, you just have to pick each other up. Make sure people aren’t trying to get too down or get in a hole to where it’s just like it doesn’t matter any more because every game matters, every week matters. You don’t want to get people in that mindset. I’ve had experience with that in my college career so I know stuff can get torn apart and you just want to stay together. You have to keep a hard mindset. Like I said, you got to put the extra work in, do extra stuff and try to get more people to keep doing extra work to make that one extra play that will help win the game. If you can do that, that can help try to change things around but it’s definitely a hard task to do.”

(How hard is it to continue to do all of that extra work and now you’re putting more on yourself but you’re still not seeing results?) – “It’s tough but this is the NFL. You can’t try to make any excuses or anything. Hard work at the end of the day should lead to success. If we just keep working hard, eventually it’ll pay off. It’s definitely frustrating that it’s not paying off right now. The only thing we can do is, like I said, go out there next week and try and get a W and go out there and get a W. So we can’t complain about stuff that’s been happening right now.”
