CB Jalen Ramsey

(The next time you take the field it’s December. What’s different about December football?) – “When you are in a position like this team is, you have meaningful games because you can solidify playoff spots and where you’ll be in the playoffs. That’s really about it.”

(Are you one to keep up with the standings? Do you guys where you are in the running for the number one seed in the AFC?) – “Yeah, I’m a football fan, so yeah, I see it. We’re somewhere in the top four or something like that. But there’s a lot of football to be played, so it can change up. You can’t really worry about it too much.”

(You’ve been around CB Xavien Howard some since the Pro Day in 2016, but what have you learned about him just by being a teammate? Anything you gained an extra appreciation for being a teammate of his for a few months?) – “Yeah, he’s a great teammate. Obviously he’s been elite in this league for just as long as I have. It’s great to team up with him. He teaches me new techniques that I hadn’t tried yet or maybe that I’ve been put in the back of my toolbox for a little bit and he brings them back up. That’s been good. We just challenge each other.”

(Have you gone up against Commanders WR Terry McLaurin in person? If not, what did you pick up from him on video?) – “I went up against him before a couple years ago when I was in L.A. But that was then, and now is now.”

(A home playoff game, is that part of the conversation, part of the goals you guys have as a team?) – “Of course.”

(What would it mean to have that opportunity? I mean, it’s been so long in South Florida. What would it mean?) – “It would mean a lot…”

(One thing that truly has stood out this year is how much time you spend mentoring and helping the young guys – CB Cam Smith, CB Kader Kohou, on and on. Why do you do that? Is it just because you want to help as much as you can? What’s that thought process?) – “I want to be a good team.”

(We’ve heard CB Xavien Howard say that you told him this team is better than the Rams team that won the championship that you were on. What made you have that opinion now? Do you still have that opinion?) – “This team has the capability to be better. We have a lot of similarities between the teams. Then we had a good secondary. I feel like we have a good secondary here. We had the Offensive Player of the Year that year. I feel like we will have the Offensive Player of the Year this year. We’ve got some weapons on offense, just like we had weapons on offense there. We have edge rushers there. I feel like we have edge rushers here. Yeah, I mean y’all can do the same thing that I do. Just look at it on paper and who we had on the roster in L.A. then and you put this Miami team on paper and look at our roster, and there’s a lot of similarities. So we have the capability of being that. I understand it’s y’all’s job to ask about our goals and our future and all that, but I’m being so serious, we cannot think about that all the time. We have to go game-by-game, week-by-week, day-by-day really, because if you get caught up in all that, you’re going to get lost and there’s no need for that. You have to keep growing every day. But yeah, we definitely have the capabilities of doing that. We have to put that work in.”
