Q: Why was the chemistry so good amongst the defense?
A: I don’t know who did the scouting or brought this group together like that, but I know Jerry Reese had a big part to do with it. The group of guys that were here before and the group of guys that they brought in, you just don’t see that too often. Different groups that genuinely get along on and off the field. That had a lot to do with it. We enjoy being around each other. I’m around the DB’s just as much, maybe even a little bit more than I am the d-line.
Q: How difficult is it facing a guy like Aaron Rodgers?
A: He’s one of the greatest. He makes a lot of good plays with his legs. We just have to focus on our technique, execute and make sure that we don’t end up on one of his highlight reels.
Q: Do you have a chip on your shoulder going back into the game against the Packers given that you didn’t tackle well the last time you went there?
A: I have a chip on my shoulder about everything. Not just that. That’s something to add to it but we didn’t do a good job. Like I said yesterday, I think a lot of their yards came after contact. We just didn’t tackle well and they were able to get out and make some plays.
Q: How was the preparation this week?
A: The same as every week. We didn’t do anything different and we didn’t add anything. We didn’t take anything away. We had the shoulder pads on. Coach sent a loud and clear message that no matter where we are, we’re still going to remain the same team and do the same things that we’ve been doing.
Q: What’s the vibe heading into the game?
A: Guys are focused. I don’t know how often you’re in here but you can see the locker room is the same now in Week 18 as it was in Week 1. No one is stressing and everyone knows the importance of this game. At the end of the day, we don’t play the game until Sunday. Just keep your preparation the same. Maybe change some other things but don’t change who you are.
Q: How did you get that hat?
A: The DB’s had the hats over there in a box. I just went over there and I stole it. Jack Rabbit was fighting me for it and I took it from him.
Q: Are you talking about your ultimate goal this week?
A: We’re talking about the Green Bay Packers. That’s it.
