Andrew Van Ginkel – December 3, 2023 (Postgame)

Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023
Postgame – Washington Commanders

Miami Dolphins LB Andrew Van Ginkel

On his pick-six:

“It starts during the week in preparation and [Defensive Coordinator] Vic [Fangio] puts in good play calls. He does a good job of explaining throughout the week what to expect in certain situations. It’s something that was kind of on my radar. When I saw the tackle [Andrew Wylie] kind of do his, he kind of does the same thing on wide receiver screens, so, I kind of expected it. When it happened, I couldn’t believe it and the rest was history.” 

 

On the defense’s ability to be successful despite dealing with injuries:

“First off, I just want to give a shoutout to [LB Jaelan Phillips] JP. He had a successful surgery and things are looking up for him. He reached out to me before the game, he said ‘Go do you and ball out.’ I think it starts with Vic’s defense, he’s a very successful coach, he has been for a very long time. He puts you in good play calls to be successful. He kind of does a good job throughout the year in how to build and puts you in good positions to succeed.”

 

On what LB Jerome Baker means to the team:

“I pray that it’s nothing serious. Obviously, he’s a leader on this team, he’s a great player, and he consistently proves himself year in and year out. Like I said, I pray that it’s nothing serious. It’s tough that obviously last week with JP and this week with the uncertainty of Bake, its tough. Those are guys on our team that are great players.”

 

On today’s weather:

“To me, it was perfect football weather out there like this. I mean, this is as good as it gets. About 60 [degrees], you feel like you can run all day. Obviously, going to [The University of] Wisconsin, I’m used to the cold weather. Some guys that grew up in the South, sometimes they’ll be like this is cold, I’m like you don’t know what cold is.”
