Yes, there were a lot of penalties. A lot of them were mental errors. Speaking of me, on my part, I've just got to get it cleaned up on the film.
How disappointing was this overall, given the fact that you guys were highly competitive, the previous two games?
It's always disappointing to take an L, whether it's close or not. We want to go out there and win, and it's disappointing when you go out there and lose.
I know it's not the result you wanted, but individually, you were a monster out there. You're flying around making tackles. How much more comfortable are you getting in this defense?
Yeah, I'm getting more and more comfortable. Obviously today, I was playing a different position, trying to get used to that. And there were plays that I left out there. Times where I was the problem in the play. So, I focus on that part, getting that fixed. A lot of good things happened, but we've got to get the other things fixed
That one, the first touchdown, you were put in a bind again. What was going through your mind?
Yeah, I have to stay. I just got to stay inside on that. I've just got to stay inside. The corner takes care of the outside guy, and I'll take the inside guy. The guy that worked inside.
Kevin, it's your first time playing the Jags. What do you make of some of the chippiness out there with them?
It's competing. That's how it's going to be when you go out there competing with a division team. That's what I expected, going into the game. We expect that every time we play. It's what makes the game fun.
It's obviously a sour feeling, but your first career sack, for you. How'd that happen?
Yeah, that's amazing. The first sack. It's always a blessing to have that, but we're trying to win games. That's a highlight, but at the end of the day, the focus is getting the win.
As a young player, what are you learning the most about what it takes to actually win games?
It's the little things. So many small things that go into getting the win or putting yourself in position to win. So, I'm just learning so much about all those small things and trying to make sure I start capitalizing on the little things.
How tough was that when you guys get off the field, they get the roughing the punter penalty, and then they extend the drive and they score. How tough was that?
Yeah, it's tough, but as a defense, we take pride in moments like that. Stand up and get another stop. At the end of the day, what we have to do, no matter what happens in the game, we have to get back on the field and get a stop. That's what we have to do, and that's all we can control at that point.
