Sunday Sitdown: Cornerback Roger McCreary on defensive communication

Ready this time for the Sunday sit-down brought to you by Flood Law. Roger McCreary sitting down with Woody. Talks about communication. Look, we've talked about these guys in the secondary. You better be ready because the Packers are going to try to take some big shots against you. Woody, talk to him about how important it will be that those guys are all on the same page. I feel like this is going to be one of the big games, our first home region game. So I feel like the communication is going to be, got to be a tick up higher. You know, our fans are going to be happy to be back home. And I feel like we got BB back. So the extra energy is definitely going to be there for sure with the fans and stuff. So I just feel like the crowd being loud at the moment trying to affect the offense, we have to communicate more ever than we have this season because we play against these guys every year. They have. It's my first time, but they play against every year. So they know the defense. We know the offense and stuff. So I feel like it's just another game of showing them something different and be on the same page. You mentioned Brian Branch just a minute ago. How exciting is it to have him back and, you know, actually in the mix with you guys? Yeah, I would say I'm a fan just from the outside. Before I even came here, I mean, he was at Bama. You could see how he was at the start. And seeing him translate to the NFL, it's just fun having that guy back. You could see it on practice. He's like, I want this rep. I want that rep. You could just tell that he's hungry and ready to be back. And I see that on film. I'm just excited to see him get back out there. Love is becoming one of those quarterbacks that you have to take notice of. Can you bait him into thinking he has a matchup that he really doesn't? Oh, most definitely. I mean, I feel like you can bait any quarterback at all because at the end of the day, they're going to always have the confidence in their guy no matter what. We can change leverage. He'll be like, okay, we see this safety. We see this leverage. I'm going after this guy. At the end of the day, we can change up, switch up, try to bait him up to showing something different. But at the whole time, it's a whole other thing. And I feel like we can do that with love. You know, this is a big rivalry game. I mean, you know, Lions-Packers, they've been playing for years. You're, you know, timing it now. how juiced do you get? You've been in rivalry games before. I mean, is it similar or is it completely different? I would say it's kind of different here. I would say just because Detroit, the love they have for the football team, the energy, the primetime games and stuff, and just looking from the past, for me watching, like, Green Bay versus the Lions, I've seen the energy. I've seen the close games. It just tells that there's a reason why they held this game at this time. Like, I understand because that's how much physical, That's how much, like, love, passion, competition I have for this game right here. You know what? Let me get to the last question, and it's probably the most important question. You like bowling. Is it true you have a bowling ball in your car right now? Most definitely. Most definitely. Yeah. I would say I'm not there yet to the professionals, but I'm getting there. I'm trying to do the little spin. You know, every time you got to wipe off the ball and all that stuff. I'm still learning. I'm not saying I'm there yet, but if you want to go against me, and you bet, I'm going to win. That's how I look at it. Hey, listen, that secondary is going to get a boost from having Brian Branch back. And the first time he makes a play at Ford Field, that place is going to light up. I promise you that.
