Postgame – Jacksonville

CB Eric Rowe (transcribed by Anthony Gutierrez)

(Can you take us through the interception, a pretty athletic play there?) – “I mean, I was reading his body language. Obviously it came from film study. I knew what kind of routes they like to run, especially on third down. With the play we had called, I had inside help, so I was like I’m just going to stay on his outside and I know he likes to run the out on third down. I mean, they did it twice and I could’ve had the first one, but I’m surprised he threw the second one too.”

(Third preseason game, obviously typically the dress rehearsal game. You’ve been through a number of these. Did you feel that added sense of importance tonight on solidifying your role opposite CB Xavien Howard?) – “I mean, I take every preseason game, regular season game, postseason game with the same mindset out there. I’m locked in, whoever the opponent is, whoever the receiver is, I’m all in. I don’t really treat it as, ‘Oh, it’s just a preseason game.’ I use this to get in game shape, get my mind right. It doesn’t matter. It could be the fourth preseason game and If they play me in it then I’m going to have the same mindset.”

(Is there extra pressure playing opposite of a guy like CB Xavien Howard or do you look at it as an increase of opportunities because chances are the other teams are going to avoid him?) – “I mean, it’s not the first time I’ve played opposite of a great corner. I think my second year it was Malcom Butler, third year it was Stephon Gilmore, now its ‘X.’ I look at it as, alright well quarterbacks are not going to really want to throw their way, come my way and bring it to me and I want to take advantage of every opportunity I get.”
