Postgame – Jacksonville

RB Mark Walton (transcribed by Katharine Bohlmann)

(How good did it feel to catch that touchdown pass and give the team the lead and get in the end zone?) – “It felt good. That was something we worked on throughout the week – catching the ball out of the backfield. That’s just something we’ve been doing since training camp started and ever since I got here. I’ve just been trying to play my role – whatever it is – catching the ball out of the backfield or running. So since the day I showed up, catching the ball in the backfield helped. Throughout the preseason, I think the running backs have been doing a great job catching out the backfield and it’s just been showing up week to week.”

(Third preseason game – obviously a big one – players trying to make a statement, and RB Kenyan Drake not playing. How early did you know that he wasn’t going to, meaning you were going to get more playing time behind Kenyan?) – “You know, we just go with the flow of the game. The coaches make that decision. When that decision came up, they announced it and you’ve just got to move forward with it. You don’t expect a big amount of playing time. When I found out he was down, I rode that train instantly.”

(What’s it do for your confidence to get that time with the first team with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and getting a chance to show what you can do with the first team?) – “Just trying to get me to gel with them guys. My main thing with that – when I’m in with the first group is just go and do my job. Don’t make a big deal about what it is, just go out there and do my job just like I’ve been doing all week … I’ve been preparing myself throughout the whole in practice, leading up to the game and that’s what I have been trying to do.”
