Defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich
On DL Rashan Gary making the Pro Bowl:
Obviously, teams are (saying), ‘Hey, look, you have to account for Rashan Gary,’ whether it’s protection, whether you’re going to chip, thump, use somebody extra. And, obviously, that’s happened to him this season. I will say this, though, if you look statistically, his run rate of wins, he’s substantially better than what he’s ever been. And he’s embraced that role. He’s embraced the transition and going from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and playing some various different alignments. And obviously, he’s done a Pro Bowl-level type of play.
We saw flashes in some work with him last season. He’s just embraced his opportunity. It’s next guy up. You don’t get ready; you stay ready. So, all those cliche things have happened for Brenton Cox. He gets into the game. He’s played six, seven games and, obviously, he’s had his opportunities to make plays for us. Great for him, great for us as a D-line to utilize another substitution guy to go in there and embrace the role.
Linebackers/running game coordinator Anthony Campanile
Hop’s honestly, he’s had a bunch of progress. I think he understands it a little bit more than he did earlier on. I know he does.

I’m excited about him. I’m excited where his progress is right now, and I think he’s in a good spot.
On LB Quay Walker trying to return from injury:
In the room, I think he’s done everything he can do. He’s all over it. Answering questions, totally immersed and locked into the game plan. That’s something that kind of speaks to the character of the guy, too. Even the games he hasn’t played in, he’s in the room, answering questions, calling it out, playing the plays through on the screen just like he’s out there as he normally would be, and I think that’s a help to some of the younger guys in the room, too. He’s done a great job of getting himself, or keeping himself I should say, locked in and trying to stay right where he was at before he got injured.
On the run defense playing well:
There’s always things you can do better, but I think these guys are totally bought into what we’re teaching. I firmly believe that there’s a progression each play. Your eyes, your…
