Postgame – Baltimore Ravens

Miami Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake

(A couple of explosive plays for you tonight. Can you talk about the big run you had first?) – “Yes, it was a trap designed play. I ran to the three technique, he slammed down. It was a great design by (Head Coach Adam) Gase so I was just happy to do the easy part and run through a big hole. I should have finished a little better. I was just trying to cut back, but preseason I’m just trying to get a feel for the running lanes things like that.”

(The first team offense finally punches in a touchdown. Is it a sign that things are coming together?) – “Yes. We weren’t really too concerned about not really putting anything into the end zone. Obviously, we had a lot of self-inflicted penalties in the earlier preseason games so once we kind of got everything situated, everything came together how it was supposed to after a couple of bad series in the first quarter. Once things kind of came together, we moved the ball well, got into our huddle cadence then we could wear down the defense and get the ball into the end zone.”

(The drive where you guys scored the touchdown, I think (TE Mike) Gesicki had and (WR Danny) Amendola had a catch. There were balls moving around which is what you guys want, isn’t it? – “Yes, for sure. That’s the key to this offense is getting the ball in our playmakers hands all over the field. We are just looking forward to doing a lot more of that as the season comes into fruition.”

(That’s back-to-back games for you with a 30-yard run plus. What does that do for you and the offense?) – “Just gives us confidence. I want to be a player that can be relied on to make big plays and spark the offense when we might be in a little bit of a stall. (Head Coach Adam) Gase has a great scheme. I just go out there and try to run through the holes as best as possible. Obviously, breaking the long run is a testament to the line, the receivers blocking downfield, so my job is the easy part, which is just to find an open space and hit it as hard as I can. I’m just looking forward to making more big plays as the season kind of continues.

(Sneaking out of the backfield too to make a catch gives the defense something else to worry about too, doesn’t it?) – “Yes. I like to have a versatile game. That’s what I want to bring to this team, make plays anywhere, anytime on the field. (Ryan) Tannehill made a great throw. I’m just glad I caught the ball.”
