Postgame – L.A. Chargers

RB Salvon Ahmed

(Could you talk about the week and when you knew you were going to be playing a featured role, when you were going to be starting the game? And then your reaction as it got closer and you knew that was going to be your role.) – “Yeah, we just treat it like a regular week. That’s what it is. It’s another game for us, and just be ready for anything and that’s how we attack every week –  just being ready. Every running back in that room, knowing that we got to step up, so getting closer to the week it was just do what I’ve been coached to do this whole week and let’s go get a W.”

(Head Coach Brian Flores was just talking about how you just had a great week of practice and that’s kind of what allowed you to have kind of an increased role today. What does that say about him as a head coach in the, it doesn’t matter who you are, you got to earn it and you’ll be out there?) – “I think that just speaks for our team. I think we go out there and we earn it every single week. We go out there and put it all out there and leave it all there. So I think that just speaks for our whole team. We’re very proud of ourselves and just keep it going. Keep taking it week-by-week and that’s just kind of our motto, I think.”

(What are some things that are working for you personally that are allowing you to have some success like you’ve seen today?) – “Just practicing hard and asking questions. Not being too proud to ask questions. There’s a lot of older guys in that room and a lot of guys on this team that want to help, especially guys, young guys like me, first year. This team is a family, so I just ask a lot of questions and go out there and attack practice the best I can.”

(Can you talk about how this offense has evolved in the past couple of weeks? I know you’ve been here from I guess the end of training camp. What have you seen in terms of the evolution of the offense?) – “I think that week-by-week it’s just more and more confidence. We see what we’re able to do as a team and when we’re doing what we’re supposed to do. So I think as the weeks go on, just more and more confidence for sure.”

(I wanted to you ask you about CB Xavien Howard’s interception. It seems like that was one of the biggest plays of the game, the turnaround. Can you take me through what it was like on the sidelines when that happened and just do you just marvel at the job he does at cornerback?) – “Yeah, it’s always exciting when ‘X’ (Xavien Howard) makes a play. It’s just kind of like, ‘all right, now we got to go punch it in.’ They got us the ball back and we got to go capitalize on it. I think that was what we were thinking as the offense. But ‘X,’ he’s a guy that goes after practice and does what he does, so it’s not surprising once he does it on game day.”
