CB Xavien Howard

(You’re a family man, what do you think it’s going to be like waking up with your kids and then playing a football game on Christmas?) – “It’s going to be nice. It’s the first time I think I have played on Christmas. I have family coming in town, so it’s going to be a great experience. I’ll try to see the kids open the gifts before I head to the stadium.”

(What’s at stake this three-game stretch trying to make the playoffs? It’s a new situation for the Dolphins organization. What’s the mindset going into this final stretch?) – “Take it one game at a time. It’s all about Green Bay. We just got to take care of the things that’s in front of us. Like every week, the next game is the most important game for us.

(Your thoughts on WR Christian Watson, the first year receiver from Green Bay?) – “He’s been balling this year, yeah.”

(Is this your first time playing Aaron Rodgers?) – “(It’s the) second time.”

(Guys like Aaron Rodgers, who really excel off script. that are able to make things happen while on the run, how does that change how you play against him?) – “He can do it all. He still can run. He also can sling it. We got to be on our toes. We just got to stick to the gameplan, stay on our receivers and keep our eyes on our receivers.”

(How much do you feel like injuries have affected you throughout this season?) – “Everybody is injured. If you ask anybody in the league, nobody is 100 percent. I try to go out there and play to the best of my abilities.”

(CB Kader Kohou has played well for most of the season, especially as an undrafted rookie. What effect do you think CB Byron Jones’ absence has had on the defense?) – “Do you want to ask Byron Jones? I don’t know. (laughter)”

(I know groin injuries can linger. When was the last time you felt it? Do you still have to be a little cautious with it?) – “I’m good. I’m going to be playing this Sunday. I’m looking forward to the challenge and like I say, keep getting better and keep grinding.”

(Has it been a while since that has been a factor?) – “It is what it is. Like I said, nobody is going to be 100 percent, but I got to keep it going though.”

(The Packers have a Pro Bowl corner also. I wonder how familiar you are with Jaire Alexander?) – “I love his game. The dude is a baller. Much respect to him and I’ll see him this Sunday.”
