S Minkah Fitzpatrick

(Is getting ready for the first game of the season different than before or is it about the same?) – “No. It’s still football, we’re still focusing on Baltimore, doing what we’ve got to do. We just keep getting better every single day, and obviously keeping the focus on Baltimore.”

(They have you moving around a lot.) – “Yeah. Like I said, wherever they need me, that’s where I’m going to be at. We’ve got a lot of people going in and out. There are a lot of different needs and a lot of different holes and stuff. Like I said, wherever they need me, that’s where I’m going to be at.”

(You were pretty outspoken during training camp about those who don’t believe in this team. There has been a lot of moves. What do you still say to those people that look at this team figuring with all of those moves, how good can they be?) – “It doesn’t really matter. (Head Coach Brian Flores) tries to express that a lot to the team. It doesn’t really matter what anybody says outside of this building. Whether it be the fans or other teams, coaches, players – it doesn’t matter what anybody else says outside of this locker room because nobody else is working, nobody else is doing what we are doing, nobody knows what we are doing and nobody knows the focus that we have or the intensity that we have. All the focus is on the negatives and everything else like that. I think we have great potential even though we have a bunch of new pieces. There is still a lot of talent in the room – defensively, offensively and special teams. We have a real high ceiling.”

(You talked about the potential. What are your expectations for this defense this season?) – “My expectations are high. I said this earlier, I think we have a whole lot of talent. Whether it be the secondary, linebackers or d-line, we have a whole lot of talent. (We have) a lot of guys that can do a lot of different things. I think that the expectations are always going to be high no matter where we are or what we are doing. We’re going to make sure that standard of play, of practice, of physicality, discipline, is high.”
