Christian Braswell on the defensive scheme
"I like to play off at times, play man, get to bump-and-run it. I love everything about this defense. There are times you get to blitz, times when we get to play bump-and-run and just keep eyes on the quarterback. We didn't have that too much last year so I feel it's a big plus for us to have eyes on the Q this year."
Christian Braswell on competition
"I would like it it we didn't have that atmosphere. 'Tre [Prince], Tyson [Campbell], Jarrian [Jones], all of those guys are competing in the room. But at the end of the day when somebody makes a play it makes you want to go make a playt. It's always feeding off each other, the energy, trying to be the best you can be."
