Q: How much do you have to take into consideration the fact that there’s a new player at the quarterback position for Philadelphia?
A: They’ve had a lot of success this year, so I don’t imagine they’re going to change a whole lot of things up scheme-wise. They might tweak a few things here or there, cater it to their quarterback. But, we’re expecting them to come out and do what they do best and what they’ve been doing all year.
Q: Have you caught a break with Carson Wentz not on the field?
A: I don’t know if it’s a break, you know, Nick Foles – he’s a great quarterback as well and he’s done a lot of great things in this league and I think he’s definitely capable. But, Carson was playing at an MVP-type of level. So, I don’t know if Foles is going to be able to do that well, but hopefully not. Not this Sunday at least.
Q: Didn’t you face Nick Foles as a team before?
A: Yeah. I believe so. Yeah.
Q: With the Eagles, right?
A: Yeah.
Q: Do you remember much from facing Nick Foles before?
A: Not a whole lot. It was a different system. Yeah.
Q: Do you take much from what he was able to do there?
A: I’m sure the coaches will go back and look at some things, but they’re a new team, new players and he has a new crew all around him. So, I think they’ll use him a little differently.
Q: What are the challenges in dealing with LeGarrette Blount?
A: Everybody has got to get to the ball. He’s a guy that’s hard to get down with one person and you can’t expect he’s going to be down, so everybody had to swarm to the ball and tag off on him as many times as we can.
Q: Is it hard to believe that you guys were so close to beating a team that is now the top seed in the conference and now it’s kind of crumbled?
A: Man, that just goes to show what’s happened to us this year with some of the losses we’ve had. I feel like that game when I think back – that one hurt. And, it’ll be nice to pay them back this week.
A. Uhhhhhhhhhh.
