Postgame – New York Jets

Miami Dolphins S Reshad Jones (transcribed by Lexie Balboni)

(What is it about this defense that allows you guys to be resilient in the fourth quarter to pull off wins like you did today?) – “We just stick together. It’s a tough league to win in, tough division game. We just stick together. Like I said… I think last week the comradery with this team and this defense has been the best since I’ve been here.”

(How do you explain it, that you guys have so many different times that you find so many different ways to do just enough to pull it off?) – “It’s about winning, whatever it takes to win football games. We know it’s going to come down to the fourth quarter. Once we get in the fourth quarter we know we have to own the fourth quarter and that’s what we did today to pull off this victory.”

(They seemed to have a lot of success moving the ball in the first half. What problems were they posing for you?) – “They screened us a lot, backside. A lot of tight end screens, running back screens, different things like that. But I think we came in at halftime and we made a couple changes and came out and got the victory.”

(What is it about the screen game that gives you trouble? I think New Orleans had some pretty good success with that and obviously you said about the first half of this game) – “I’m not sure. We just need to look at the tape and figure out what it is. Teams have been screening us a lot like you said and they need a good job of screening us early on in the first half of the football game to have success on the offensive side of the ball. But like I said, when we came in at halftime we settled down and we got the job done.”

(You gave up the one touchdown in the second half and then they punted each time and then the interception by Bobby McCain. What adjustments did you make from the first half to the second half?) – “We switched up the calls a little bit. We saw what they were giving us and we switched up the calls. More vision coverages and different things like that where we have defenders where we can see the screens coming.”

(Were you able to give more pressure? Was that a result of better coverage or just guys upfront getting after the ball?) – “We sent a little bit more pressure in the second half. I would say that, we did send a little bit more pressure.”

(It was pretty obvious when Matt Moore came in the game it got the offense fired up but then it seemed you guys built on that too. Is that fair, accurate?) – “I wouldn’t say that, no. Matt is a veteran quarterback, it was good to have someone like him to replace Jay when he went down. Everybody on both sides of the ball feels confident in Matt so it was good to see him go out there and be successful.”

(You played with him for a little bit you’ve been in the same locker room with him. How would you describe Matt’s energy?) – “He’s a leader. He’s a veteran guy, played a lot of football in this league. Guys love him, like I said on both sides of the ball. He brings the energy to the offensive side of the ball. Everybody loves Matt.”

(Heading into Baltimore are there any improvements you think you guys need to make knowing you are playing an offense like Baltimore?) – “Yeah there are definitely some improvements we have to make. It’s a short week, short turnaround. We need to get back into film… wWtch the film tomorrow and make a couple corrections.”

(What did Bobby do well on that play?) – “He was in his right spot, that’s team defense. We had a certain call and Bobby was right where he needed to be and he went up and made the play.”
