CB Janoris "Jackrabbit" Jenkins -- December 13, 2018

Q: What have you thought of Grant Haley the past couple of weeks as a young corner?
A: He stepped in, doing his job, doing what he’s supposed to do. Hope it continues and just keep playing football.

Q: What do you think makes him a rookie who can contribute that much? Like what skills do you see?
A: He likes to learn. He just does the small things right and he works hard.

Q: You're probably going to line up against Corey Davis a fair amount on Sunday, what do you see out of him as a receiver?
A: Corey Davis? What number is he?

Q: 84.
A: Oh – he’s alright. I mean, he’s a receiver. Just going to go out there and play football.

Q: What kind of challenge does (Marcus) Mariota present with just the way he’s able to make plays with his feet?
A: He’s a scrambler. We got to plaster very good and everybody just has to stay on your man.

Q: After the start you guys had to be in this position to have an outside chance to get to the playoffs, what does it say about this team?
A: We’re hungry, we understand that we started off slow and like coach always tell us, important football is played in November and December so we just have to keep playing.

Q: What do you think has been the biggest difference in the second half of the year?
A: Everybody on the same page, everybody having fun. We aren’t worrying about the little small things. We’re just having fun out there.

Q: Do you feel like you guys have developed as a defense an attitude where you’re giving offenses problems consistently and they’re hearing footsteps, so to speak?
A: You can say that. I just feel like we’re going out every Sunday and working, playing within the scheme, everybody flying to the ball and everybody wants to make a play.

Q: What do you think of (James) Bettcher as a coordinator?
A: I love him.

Q: Why?
A: Because he brings different scheme coverages, he blitzes the corner. He’s just puts you in a position to make the best play.
