S Amani Hooker

SAFETY AMANI HOOKER

How do you balance a game, when the defense seemingly does enough, and then there just isn't enough on the offensive end to get the win?

All we can do on defense is control what we control. Mow our own grass. I felt like on defense, we went out there and did our thing. I felt like opportunities when they scored like that long drive, we got to get a stop there, and we didn't.

You guys were able to win the turnover battle and all that kind of stuff. I know it's a team sport and it takes everybody. But how tough is this one, given how well you guys played defensively?

You know, it's tough. And like I said, as a defense, I felt like, we were on top of it. We had an idea of what they were going to run. We were on it. We were communicating well out there. We've got to get a stop and can't let them score.

Did they do anything different on that drive, to get into the end zone?

I mean they were little bit tempo. A little more tempo getting on the ball. Just kind of taking little check downs, and then kind of got out of the pocket, scrambled and found Brian Thomas on the sideline and he took that about 20 yards. But they didn't do too much different just kind of upped the tempo a little bit.

How do you contextualize this result, with where you guys are at on this season, and maybe, what it was like in the locker room after?

After a loss like that, the locker room is not good, I mean, as you expect. We didn't come in here trying to lose or expect to lose. You thought we were going to win the game. But didn't do enough. We've just got to get to work. I mean, regardless, we still have these next four games. And if you show up, you've got to show up in the right mentality, or they'll get someone else to do the job for you.

You guys had such a positive result in Houston. How hard is it, to kind of go from that to these past two games in Washington, and then today?

Yeah, I mean, you just soak in one win. You've got to be able to treat every week, as if it's a new week. You're starting 0-0. However, we didn't get that done today, or last week.
