Postgame – New York Jets

Miami Dolphins K Cody Parkey (transcribed by Paige Jefferson)

(Can you talk about the final kick?) – “Bottom line is my team got me in good field goal range, reasonable distance and I know that I’m going to get a great snap from (LS) John (Denney) and a great hold from (P) Matt (Haack). So for me, it’s just staying down on the ball and just swinging through my target.”

(Had you had trouble with your footing on that field earlier today at all?) – “Not today, no. It’s just very vital to just go out there and kind of survey the land a little bit and make sure that the three-yard area that you’re working with is good enough. So, yeah, (K) Matt (Haack) does a good job helping me kind of pick a spot and we go from there.”

(Cody, I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this but the condition of the field did it play a role in your range today?) – “I’d say the wind more so than that. That last one we kind of had a little wind in our face than the other way, so the Jets were smart enough to get that fourth quarter at their back. So, yeah, the field didn’t have an issue.”

(Are you hoping for a chance there late in the game? Just saying I just hope I have a chance to get in the game?) – “Absolutely! Yeah! It was kind of a quiet game for me, just a couple points here and there. But, yeah, I’m absolutely hoping that the game’s on me and on us as a special teams unit. Great blocks all year, great holds and great snaps. So I’ve just been extremely blessed with that and I just have to go out there and do my job.”

(Do you know you’re the most accurate kicker in Dolphins’ history?) – “I’m not too worried about that. I’m just worried about beating the Ravens.”

(Three game-winning field goals in six games in your time with the Dolphins. How fun is that?) – “It’s a lot of fun. That’s the bottom line. I think this year I’m just trying to have fun. There’s going to be good times, bad times, more good than bad. I just go out there and have fun and continue to just glorify God whenever I can.”

(Seventeen points down last week. Fourteen points down this week. How do you explain this?) – “I mean it’s crazy. This team finds a way to win. Last year, I was on the Browns. That was kind of where we lacked. We couldn’t find a way to win in third and fourth quarter. This team just seems to, you know, we’re down by 14 points, and no one’s batting an eye. It’s crazy, so you know, you go out there and score a score, and they get me in field goal range. Even when we had to punt with a minute left. It’s just crazy. So, I think we’re extremely blessed as a team and we just keep going out there and just keep fighting. That’s all we can do.”
