CB Xavien Howard

(On good players leaving.) – “I just say you control the things you can control. It’s the league. It’s a business. You’ve got to take it for a business, so just control the things you can control.”

(How does it impact the team when good players go?) – “It hurts; but like I said, it’s a business at the end of the day. It’s the next man up, so that’s how we’re going to take it from here.”

(Like recently, we’ve had LT Laremy Tunsil, WR Kenny Stills, LS John Denney, S T.J. McDonald, DT Vincent Taylor, LB Kiko Alonso – I could keep going. So my thing is, when Head Coach Brian Flores addresses, how does he explain it?) – “We’re moving on. We just take it one day at a time. Like I said, control the things you can control. That’s it.”

(You’re in the prime of your career, one of the top players in your position in the league. Do you want to be here?) – “Oh yeah, most definitely. I got drafted here and also they paid me here, so I want to finish here, too.”

(What do you think you know about the organization’s plan?) – “I don’t know the exact plan, but I’ve got to trust the process of what they’re doing – from ‘Flo’ (Coach Flores), upstairs, the front office, so just trust the process, I’d say.”

(It kind of reminds me of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Browns. I don’t know how much NBA you watch…) – “I wasn’t born. I wasn’t born in ’76, so I don’t know about that era. (laughter)”

(What’s it been like getting acquainted with so many new teammates the last day or two?) – “They’ve been great. New faces in here. We all have one goal: we’re all trying to win. I’ll tell you that. We all came in – the people that he wants – so we’re just here.”

(Have you been able to put names with all the faces, or is that still a process?) – “I’m still learning some of the new guys, but some familiar guys I’ve been here with.”
