Postgame – Oakland Raiders

Miami Dolphins S Minkah Fitzpatrick (transcribed by Lexie Balboni)

(The speed that WR Kenny Stills  and WR Jakeem Grant and WR Albert Wilson have, as a defensive guy, how difficult is it to defend the speed?) – “It’s tough when you have one guy that’s fast, but when you have three, four, five guys that are fast like that, it’s really tough to defend because you get mismatches in the back end. You might have a linebacker on one of those guys one play or a safety on one of those guys the next play, so it’s just mismatches all over the field. When you have guys like that, that move, it really helps our offense.”

(It seems every three seconds another guy was going out with an injury. Even G/T Jesse Davis was on the defensive line. The challenge of doing what you guys did with seemingly half the defense injured.) – “It’s football. That happens. No matter who you ask, there’s always going to be somebody that says we had a game where half our team was missing. It’s next man up and you got to do what you got to do.”

(You’re used to big situations having played at Alabama and all that, but how would you describe the feeling of making your first NFL start?) – “It was awesome. It was a whole lot of fun. We could have played better on the first couple of series, but we went out there, we finished. Like I said, it was a lot of fun. It was a blessing, for real. I’m just excited for next week.”
