Jets Postgame Presser


Jets 24, Dolphins 31

Q. Brandin, what did you see on that pick sox? What did you pre-snap and then what allowed you to jump on that pass?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: Oh, pre-snap it wasn't my call. It was actually Michael Carter call, just communication across the board to the defense. He saw something and I trusted him, so that's what led me to get the pick.

Q. How have you seen your game change as the season has gone on?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: I would say my game grew more, like within me, my confidence, and, you know, me learning and understanding different concepts within the game.

Q. We've talked a lot about Zach learning when he was out with the injury just from watching. Did you benefit at all when you were sidelined with the injury just watching other guys?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: Yes. I'm glad that happened because I could sit back and reflect on myself as a person and see what I needed to work on and be done.

And so, yeah, I really think me getting sidelined was a good thing.

Q. How difficult was that moment with Alijah on the field and how difficult was it to come back from that and keep playing football?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: I mean, it wasn't really too difficult. I mean, things happen, so you just got to -- it's always going to be bumps in the road you just got to overcome.

Q. What were your emotions when you scored that touchdown, and how did it feel to have your first interception also be a touchdown?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: Obviously it was exciting, but I knew -- coming to the sideline I knew we had to go back out there and try to do it again.

So my mindset once I got it, I was happy, excited, I knew I had to flip the switch and change my mindset and go back out there and try to make another play.

Q. When was the last time you had a pick six?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: Junior colors.

Q. Been a little bit?

BRANDIN ECHOLS: Yeah.
