WR Isaiah Ford

(I have to ask you the obvious question; your reaction when you heard the news about WR Jaylen Waddle? And I would ask it in consideration with the other running backs who are out as well. When you put all that together, what do you see?) – “First of all, we are praying for Jaylen and hope that he has a speedy recovery. I’m not sure how he’s feeling just with the virus and everything like that. It’s a really big opportunity for a lot of the other guys. We pride ourselves on having that next-man-up approach and it’s going to take all of us to cover Jaylen’s role as well as the running backs, whoever’s in there. It’s going to take a full team approach.”

(I know you’ve done meetings virtually before, obviously last year. What’s that experience like compared to being in person? Does it feel at all weird or not at all because of last year’s experience?) – “I think it’s been the new norm so to speak with us doing it all of last year. I don’t think it’ll be anything different. We know the job that we have to do. It’s lock in for those however many hours that we are doing it and then after that, you can kind of unwind. We’re still on the clock, we still have work to do and we’re preparing to try to beat the Jets.”

(I know Head Coach Brian Flores has not gone as far as to tell guys you can’t go out. I don’t think any NFL coach can or would do that. But is it at the point to where players need to discuss that among themselves and agree collectively basically to stay in their house and at the facility for four more weeks?) – “I think we all know what’s at stake. I don’t think that really has to be overly emphasized or anything like that. We all know that we love this game and we all know that we love each other so we want to keep each other as safe as possible. Not only us, but each other’s families. I think that kind of goes without saying.”
