Dolphins 31, Jets 24
Q. Isaiah, can you talk about the offense and the receiving corps as a whole and just helping Tua to play his game and in Jaylen Waddle's absence and come together for this performance?
ISAIAH FORD: I couldn't hear you. I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?
Q. Sorry. Just talking about Jaylen Waddle, how the receiving corps reacted that and how you feel you did out there?
ISAIAH FORD: We knew that without Jaylen we were going to need some guys to step up. We knew it was going to have to be a collective group. As you can see, he has played so well. He has been such an instrumental part of our offense, so we knew it was going to have to be a collective group from us as a whole to kind of step up and make plays, and I think that we made enough plays to win the game today.
Q. I wanted to ask you about your reaction to Duke's performance today and to be able to do that in front of his hometown and on the field that he played college football on. How cool was that just as a teammate?
ISAIAH FORD: It was awesome to watch. I remember him playing that well vividly when I was at Virginia Tech when we played him. I think it was a Thursday night he ran for about 240 yards, 250 yards, something like that. I've seen that a few times, but it was good to be on the same team as him this time, and he had an amazing performance. We needed it.
Q. How effective can this RPO offense be when that ground game is working the way it was today?
ISAIAH FORD: I think it will make our offense really hard to stop. Any time that you can run the ball the way that we did today, it opens up so many other things. Whether that's run actions off of it or play action shots and then when we're pulling it and Tua is making those decisions, we're all clicking on all cylinders, I think we can be a really good offense.
Thank you.
