Isaiah Ford – October 24, 2021 (Postgame)

Sunday, October 24, 2021
Postgame – Atlanta

WR Isaiah Ford

Q: Obviously a tough one. For you to come in into this game and make an impact and then come up short, I guess can you describe the mood of the locker room?

ISAIAH FORD: I mean it sucks. You know, any time you work as hard as we do and you care about this football team and you care about the guys that are going to war with you and you come up short, it sucks. All we can do is stay together and get back to the drawing board and try and fix it.

Q: What can you say about your quarterback? You have to know all the stuff that is swirling around regarding Tua Tagovailoa but he came out today and had four touchdowns. What can you say about his performance?

ISAIAH FORD: I thought Tua played really well. There were a lot of ebbs and flows in the game, not just him but the entire team, and I thought as a team we did a good job of trying to overcome those and the margin for error is very small in this league and I think we saw that tonight, but I thought Tua fought hard. That’s who Tua is so he’s a great player. He’s a hell of a player.

Q: We saw a lot of positives coming out late when you guys bounced back. It seemed like there was a lot of fight up to the end. Will you build off of that going into Buffalo next week?

ISAIAH FORD: Yeah, we have to. Like I said, we’ll come in and watch the film, build off the things that we did good and correct the things that we didn’t do so well and try to fix them, try not to make the same mistakes and get ready for Buffalo next week.

Q: I know you wanted it to come in a win but you got a touchdown today. Tell us about your feelings about that play and what happened.

ISAIAH FORD: I mean, it was pretty surreal moment. Like I said, unfortunately, we lost, so doesn’t mean as much. Maybe wish I could have made another play or so that maybe would have helped us win the game, but just got to move on to next week.

Q: When you see that late run from Tua Tagovailoa and he knows he is going to get hit there. He is still, I’m sure, dealing with some pain with his ribs. When you see him take a hit like that and you see his determination, what does that tell you about him? I mean, I’m sure you knew all this already, but just does it reinforce how much he wants to win?

 

ISAIAH FORD: He is the ultimate competitor. I think you saw that in how he plays, how he is running. Not sliding when there were some tough yards and we might need those extra yards and he is trying to fight for every one of them. Hurting, sore, tired, frustrated or whatever the case is, he is going out there and going to war with his family and we got his back.
