WR Isaiah Ford

(What was your reaction when you got the news?) – “I was excited. It’s a chance to get another opportunity to go out there and showcase myself and try to help this team win games.”

(What’s it been like for you this season kind of back and forth?) – “You kind of sign up for this. When you get in this profession, the biggest thing is to take everything one day at a time, one meeting at a time, one play at a time we’re out there, and to prepare like you’re the starter, because at some point you’re expecting that to happen where you’re going to have to step into a role and play and you want to be prepared when it happens.”

(How do you compare yourself today to say July?) – “I just think I’m sharper in the playbook and what they’re asking from the receiver position. I think I have a pretty good feel for what I’m responsible for, what I’m supposed to do and how I’m supposed to do it, things like that. And then just me mentally, I’m a lot more mature in terms of the obstacles and the adversity that I’ve had to overcome.”

(Do you feel some pressure? Because I don’t have to tell you, you look around the wide receiver room, there are plenty of empty chairs now.) – “I like to hang my hat on my confidence and the way that I like to prepare and go out and practice every day and I think everything else will take care of itself.”

(Is there anything that you and Wide Receivers Coach Karl Dorrell have talked about that could maybe get you from a guy who has been on the bubble last couple of years to a guy who’s consistently on the 53-man roster as far as skill development, stuff like that?) – “I think me and coach have a really good relationship in terms of pretty much talking every day, really every route. He’s always coming to me and giving me feedback and insight on if he thinks I did something really well or if he thinks I could sharpen something else up. He just tells me every day to continue to perfect your craft and try new things and see what sticks and what doesn’t to get a feel for your entire skillset.”

(The Dolphins keep bringing you back. Does that kind of tell you that they see you as somebody with a promising future that they want to hang on to?) – “I’d like to think so going in. Like I said, you can’t really get too high or too low, especially in this business, because you could end up hurting yourself in the end and I’ve tried to do that. It’s just coming to work every day and preparing like my opportunity was going to come and when it does, I want to be ready for it.”
