Bengals DT D.J. Reader:
On the Browns running for more than 200 backyards:
” That is rough. Two-hundred lawns rushing lawns is simply a great deal of yards. You never ever desire to quit that much. You constantly desire to play much better. There were just too lots of lawns rushing, and everybody needs to be better from the point of attack, beginning with me. At the point of attack, I need to be much better. Everybody has to be. It takes a whole defense to stop the run, and that is what groups are going to do until we stop it. Everyone needs to be better.”
On how the Bengals can be better at stopping the run:
” Want to. We need to want to do it. I believe that is the greatest thing. We discuss it, but you need to have to do with it in this league. You can speak about a great deal of things, but you need to go out there and have to do with them. I believe that is jointly as a group, everyone. It begins in our space with me and everybody in our room so I need to get that remedied. We will enter next week and we will get that remedied.”
On the troubles stopping the run and concerns fitting spaces:
You have to go get it done. Gap-fit, non-gap, any gap, get the man on the ground. That is what this video game is and that is what football is– get the guy on the ground.
On changes on the Bengals DL and being one of the only constant members of it:
It is just knowing how to do your task, doing it and getting it done. That is what we have to do, and that is what has to get done no matter what. Whoever is there– my child there or anyone– it has actually to get stopped.
On if the needed perseverance on the Bengals defense might be doing not have:
” I believe we simply have to do things in a much better method. It is a culture change. We are attempting to bring a gaining culture to this team, and we have actually not had that before so you are working on that. That is what includes it. There is a toughness that includes it. There are no excuses for it. You have to desire to win. If you are not this pissed off after the video game we just lost and provided up 200 yards rushing, it is not. You need to want to win. This hurts. It is difficult to win in this league week to week. It is really hard so you have to desire to do it. You need to put your frame of mind to it every day, day in and day out.
On how tough it is on a protective line when QB Baker Mayfield is regularly rolling out of the pocket:
It makes it genuine tough to figure out run and pass, especially when they are running stretch and outside zone with cuts. We have to make him pull those boots up and require them into bad throws like we ended up getting done at the end, being able to force those turnovers on those big plays and giving our DBs time to make plays.”
On how long it requires to develop a winning culture:
” I do not understand. That is an actually excellent concern. I have no idea, however it is done collectively. It is not done simply a single person. It begins, however I think everybody and this loss harmed a lot of individuals. To the core, it hurt. You can see. I think jointly, you need to wish to make a modification. That is the exact same fight we are battling in this world, right? To alter a culture, you need to, jointly, everyone needs to desire to make a change.”
On not being able to play complementary football yet this season:
” It is difficult, however I play defense. That is what I am worried about. I have complete confidence on everyone else on the other side of the ball to do what they have to do. That is how this game works. I cant go play offense. I am no great at it. I play defense so I need to concentrate on my guys and guys on my side of the ball and have trust and self-confidence on those guys on that side of the ball.”
On the Browns not trying a throw on their last scoring drive:
That is a male stepping in front of you and saying that he is going to shove it down your throat and do better than you. He said he was going to run the rock at us, and that is what happened. We have to get that fixed.”
On how much the defense misses out on Bengals DT Geno Atkins:
We always miss one of our bros, particularly one of our leaders and a guy who has played a lot of football for us. We will be glad when we get him back, however in the meantime, nobody is going to feel sorry for us. We have our games to play, and we have got to get things done.”
On missing Bengals DT Mike Daniels, in addition to Atkins:
” Yep, however in the meantime, we have to get what we have going fixed now. It just has to get done.”
We will go in next week and we will get that corrected.”
You have to go get it done. We have to make him pull those boots up and force them into bad throws like we ended up getting done at the end, being able to force those turnovers on those huge plays and offering our DBs time to make plays.”
We will be glad when we get him back, however in the meantime, no one is going to feel sorry for us. We have our games to play, and we have actually got to get things done.”
