CB Xavien Howard

(On the defense leading the NFL in interceptions right now.) – “On the back end, we’re sticking together. We’re trying to make plays. We’re hungry out there. We want to put the ball back in the offense’s hands.”

(Is there something that goes into that? Is that film study? I know there is a want to, to want to do it. But is there film study or something that you see every week that lets you know that maybe you guys can get a pick every game?) – “It’s just something we’ve seen that we lacked last year. Coming into it, flying to the ball and making plays on the ball, that was our big thing for us in this offseason.”

(How have you guys gone about practice this week and washing away last week’s loss?) – “We’re on to the Chicago Bears. It’s a new week. We’re not worried about last week. We’re just focused on this and trying to get the game plan down and just do our job.”

(How big was it to get S Reshad Jones back last week?) – “It was great. Reshad is a great player back there. He helps out a lot, so having him, a leader like he is, helps out a lot.”

(What challenges do you see in the Bears offense?) – “I’m just getting into watching the film, so I’ve got to see today. So far, I saw the game when they played (against) Tampa. They had a lot of passes and stuff like that. I know they can sling the ball. The quarterback can run and make plays.”

(What did you notice from QB Mitch Trubisky? I know he had six touchdowns in that game.) – “Yeah, that was crazy. Going into that I think he had like two. There were a lot of passes going on and running with ‘29’ (Tarik Cohen) – he’s a fast guy – and Allen Robinson. They’ve got Taylor Gabriel. They’ve got some good weapons over there. We have to be on our Ps and Qs.”

(What does it mean to be at home this week?) – “There is nothing like a home game. We’ve been on the road two weeks straight. So getting back at home, just getting back in the environment and things like that, we’re ready for that.”

(With the way some of your young guys are playing – LB Raekwon McMillan and LB Jerome Baker – how do you see the direction of this defense?) – “Everybody is trying to improve each week, week in and week out. We’ve got to keep that going and stick to what we are doing.”
