Max Melton Media Availability | Week 3 vs 49ers

Were you uh worried when it all happened at first? Yeah, I mean anytime it’s a uh injury to your knee, play football, grass or any type of other uh turf, you going to be worried at first, but once you get the MRIs back and put me uh let me settle down a little bit. When was that? Uh day after the game, morning. Two games into the year. How do you feel like the secondary is doing so far overall? I mean, we just took a hit this past weekend, but I feel like we’re pretty good trending towards the right direction. We just got to keep it up and uh making sure we’re the same way week 13, week 14, and so on. How tough is it to see Derrick go down? Man, it’s it’s hard. I know he uh had a knee problem before I even got here. And uh just to see him go down to the same thing near the same thing, it’s heartbreaking, but I know he’ll be back this season. I know uh he’s working hard in there in rehab, so he’ll be back. DB seem to be getting your hands on a lot of footballs. Like that was a point of emphasis JG was talking about in u in preeason. A lot of lot of PBUS out there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, man, we’re going to make it emphasis every week to get the ball. So, yeah, you going to see us get our hands on the ball. We just got to get them take them away now. You know, what do you attribute to the the uptick in that? Uh, you said, what do I contribute? No. What do you what do you uh why do you think that’s happening that you guys are getting more PBUS overall? Because we work on it in practice. I mean, even when even when we’re not we know we’re not getting the ball in practice, we’ll still like enact it and uh make it look like, oh, we’re about to go for a punch right here. We might have had an interception right here. We just don’t touch it. But, uh, practice makes perfect. So more we practice it, more is going to show up in the game. How has the name been feeling through two practices this week? It feel pretty straight. You know, just taking it day by day still. And uh yeah, that’s pretty much it when it come to that. Are you optimistic you’ll be able to go on Sunday? I want to, but we going to see. We going to see what happens. What do you guys need to do to stop McCaff? Um he’s a very good running back and and a passing back on third down. So uh we got stuff put in to uh contain him just like any other team. you know, they got star players that you have to uh rely on your game plan to help, you know, so we got some things leaning towards him that we’ll use. How do you go about things when there’s kind of a question mark like say Brock Hardy might play, he might not. Like do you do you kind of study the scheme more than the player? Exactly. Exactly what you just said. So when you’re optimistic about the quarterback, you don’t really know who’s going to play. You just look at the scheme of the offense and see where they like to go, see their progressions and things like that. So we’re ready for any quarterback.
