S Reshad Jones

(What kind of conversations have you had with S T.J. McDonald, even before this week?) – “We didn’t have too many conversations. He’s been pretty much away from the building so we haven’t really talked; but when he returned I said, ‘We’ve got eight weeks to go to work, so let’s go hard and see what happens.’”

(Is it an adjustment for you playing with so many safeties over the years – Isa Abdul-Quddus, Louis Delmas – it’s been a pretty long list of good safeties?) – “Not at all. I just control what I can control. I go out and do whatever I can to help this team win. Whoever is next to me or whoever is playing with me, it really doesn’t matter. Luckily, I’ve been fortunate enough to play with a lot of good safeties throughout my career here; but it really doesn’t matter.”

(The biggest thing is being on the same page from a call standpoint?) – “Yes, that’s it. We’re the quarterbacks of the defense so we’ve got to make sure we get everybody lined up and make sure we’re both on the same page and we’ll go from there.”

(You don’t see any adjustment period to playing with each other?) – “No, we played early on in OTAs and minicamp and different things like that, so we’ve got a little bit of experience together. We bonded a little bit on and off the field, so we’ve got a relationship. It’ll be fun. I’m ready to see this guy play and for both of us to go out and make plays.”

(Does S T.J. McDonald’s skill set complement yours, or how does that work with two safeties in the back?) – “I think it does. I think he’s a versatile safety too. He can play free or strong and I, obviously, can play free or strong. I’ve played both throughout my career here, so I think we do complement each other well.”

(It’s rare for you to play a game where you’re not at a really high, elite level, so when you have a game like Sunday that’s maybe not up to your standards, how tough are you on yourself and how much does it weigh on you all week?) – “It was just a play or two I had and that’s part of the game. I know I‘ve got to make those plays; but like you said, I think I’ve been playing good. Sunday, I think I had a solid game, I just (had) one or two plays I wish I had back. I’ll learn from that and move on, and keep doing what I’ve been doing.”
