S Steven Parker

(On his interception yesterday.) – “I’m not going to lie, I’ve watched it 1,000 times. A lot of people sent me the video. I’ve gotten a lot of good reviews on it.”

(Did anyone from any other teams in the league who you knew either from the Rams last year or college teammates who texted you about play? Is there anyone in particular?) – “Ex-Rams players and ex-OU (University of Oklahoma) players, ex-alumni.”

(What was going through your mind after you came down with the ball and the refs are talking and I guess they’re debating?) – “I already knew I had that ball. In my mind, it was already a pick. They had already ruled it a touchdown, but in my mind it was already an interception.”

(You went from not being used on defense against the Jets to actually starting and then making that big play. What was that swing like for you?) – “It was opportunity. When that opportunity presented itself, you’ve got to go out there and just have fun (and) play amongst yourselves but be a part of the scheme, make sure that you’re doing your job – that’s the most important thing. I felt like as a defense, that’s what we did. We flew around. We did our job.”

(I know a lot of decisions defensively week-to-week are made on matchups for that particular week; but was there anything that either Safeties Coach Tony Oden or Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham said to you they wanted you to work on between the time you were playing a lot to not playing very much to yesterday?) – “Really they wanted me to lock up 84 or 85. That was just the game plan just moving forward. We knew that they would love to be in 12 personnel, which gave us the opportunity to match up good, especially with me and ‘E. Rowe’ (Eric Rowe) being big safety-like bodies.”

(Did you wind up keeping the ball? First NFL interception?) – “Yes, sir. I did. Actually hopefully I should be getting it here pretty soon. I don’t (have) it right now; but yeah, it’s good. I’ve got to put that up in my trophy case.”

(How’d you get the ball back? What steps do you take to be able to get it?) – “To get it? Somebody actually ended up picking it up. I flicked it and just kind of ran off. Somebody ended up getting it for me. Thank God because I needed that one.”
