RB De’Von Achane

(You’re probably the only person that chose another teammate’s charity foundation, The Tua Foundation, for you cause and cleats. Why did you make that decision?) – “He’s on my team, why not? He’s my QB1, so I can’t go wrong with choosing his foundation. There is a lot of people with their own foundations. I thought why not go with Tua (Tagovailoa); you can’t go wrong with that.”

(The last four games, not as much team rushing production as the previous four when you guys were on a hot stretch. What do you think has lead to that and what can you guys do to get back into some rushing production?) – “I just feel like teams just realized we were running the ball a lot so they started putting people in the box, but that just gets us going and opens up me in the pass game. I feel like we’re not going to get away from it, keep going but it’ll just open up different things for us.”

(How difficult was that fourth down situation or that goal line situation for you guys not to be able to physically punch it in?) – “It was frustrating. Like you said, we always want to score when we’re down in the red zone, and I feel like us scoring right there would’ve changed the game. If we score that touchdown, I feel like we go into a one possession game and the game is different. The outcome is different, we have momentum and we go down and get a stop, the whole game changes.”

(What do you think the Jets defense does well?) – “They got a great defense from their d-line to their DBs. I feel like they got a great defensive line. They come up the field and get to the QB. I feel like us, this is our first time playing this year, but we also play them twice, so I just feel like we got to key on the details and learn from when we first play them to the second time.”

(You had the guardian cap on and now you’ve gone a few games now without it. What was that decision making process?) – “There was no decision. I wore it to begin because of my mom, but I just felt like I didn’t need it anymore. I got a better helmet, so I just felt like I don’t need to wear it anymore.”

(Did you change your helmet?) – “Mmhmm.”

(OK, what was it then? What is it now?) – “It’s like the same, it’s just got more cushion inside.”

(In terms of this team, how critical is it to finish out strong? I guess you know the odds of what happens if you lose a game the rest of the way.) – “At this point on, I think every game is a playoff game. We know we’ve got to play every game like it’s our last, and I feel like that puts us in a position to go out here and make sure everybody puts it all on the line, 100%. I feel like we can’t take no days off.”
