"We play in the box a few times and coach has us looking at different reads to make the play," Stocker said.
"We all understand what we have to do on the field," Oladapo said. "We know we can lean on each other. If I can't get the tackle, I know Bradley will be there and if he can't make it, Tanner will be there."
Of their total tackles, nearly half are assisted.
"When somebody makes the tackle, we all come in," Prior said.
"They got each other on everything," Persaud said. "Normally you see two of the three (making a play) and sometimes it's three of three."
But this menacing trio didn't magically come together. Each player had to make adjustments and play at new positions until it worked to perfection.
