DT Raekwon Davis

(Have you ever been to London or out of the country at all?) – “Yeah, I’ve been out of the country before. I’ve never been to London, though. It’s going to be a great experience for me. I hope my allergies don’t mess with me. (laughter”

(Where else have you been?) – “I’ve been to Cancun and Tulum. That’s about it for me. (laughter) That’s typical. I haven’t been to that many places.”

(How do you feel physically having been out of the loop for a few weeks and now having a little more time separation from the injury?) – “During that time period, I was just trying to get my body right. I’m trying to keep myself in good condition, hydrate and just take care of my body. I know they were out there on the practice field getting reps after reps, so I know I couldn’t really keep up with it. I just tried to keep my body in shape the whole time I was out.”

(What have you picked up from the Jaguars, QB Trevor Lawrence and their run game?) – “They’re a great team. They work together. They’re a great unit. They just try to really run the ball. They run the ball a lot. Trevor Lawrence gets the ball out fast. We’ve got to collapse the pocket and try to get to him.”

(What have you noticed about RB James Robinson?) – “He’s a quick, shifty back. You’ve got to be patient on him. You can’t peek out of your gap real quick. You’ve got to be real patient with that guy. He’s kind of short so it’s kind of hard to see him. You’ve just got to be real patient with him and let him declare the gap.”

(After reviewing the film from the most recent game, what’s something that you think is important for you and your d-line colleagues to really keep in mind and try to be better at on Sunday?) – “Coming up with that gameplan and everybody just being all on the same page. Communication. And working together as a unit.”

(What’s the general feeling on the defense right now? I don’t have to tell you that last year you guys put up some really impressive numbers and this year it seems like things have really turned around. What’s the feeling?) – “I can tell you like ‘Coach Flo’ (Brian Flores) tells us every day: It’s hard to win in this league. It’s not going to come easy. But like I said for us, we’re just going to keep working. Just all working together, everybody on the same page, communicating together and just having fun.”

(Knowing how important it is to get a win this week, have you found it challenging to compartmentalize the task at hand and also the fact that you have to get on a plane on Thursday night – obviously it’s exciting as well going across to England. How has that been as far as keeping things separated and still enjoying yourself going across there?) – “I mean we’re on like a five-hour difference than London. ‘Coach Flo’ (Brian Flores) said get into bed at a certain time so lights off around like 9 or 8 p.m. Just trying to get that timing over there for our bodies. We don’t want it to just hit us when the game comes and we be tired and sluggish and moving slow. We’re just trying to keep up with the time over there, making sure we go to bed early, making sure we hydrate and taking care of our bodies. It’s hard this week because the time over there is different.”

(What time have you been going to bed out here to sort of…) – “I try to go at 9 p.m. Yeah, I try to go at 9 p.m.”

(How early are you getting up?) – “Probably like 6 or 6:45 a.m. Something like that.”

(That would be like 11:45 a.m. over there.) – “Yeah. Hey, I’m doing the best I can. (laughter) I didn’t say it was going to be right but I’m doing the best I can. (laughter)”
