Game day Q&A: 'We're trying to improve every week'

How did it feel to recover a blocked punt for a score?

It was surreal. I've seen it on tape. I feel like I did everything right.

How is the defense performing so far?

We saw a lot of improvement from the first game to the second game. We're trying to improve every week. I see some good things and I see some things we need to work on. We're pretty good for the second week of the season.

The secondary is playing without key players because of suspensions and injuries.
