Postgame – New Orleans Saints

Dolphins QB Jay Cutler (transcribed by the NFL)

Q. How frustrating is it, the offense, first drive, you’re moving down the field, you have penalties. Seemed like you got penalties offensively in the first half (inaudible)?
JAY CUTLER: Yeah, the penalties didn’t really slow down throughout the game. That was one constant for us. First drive was clean. Like you said, overcome some penalties. We didn’t have a headset, so we’re working off the sidelines. That was something different.

Listen to Adam speaking in here and it’s frustrating. I think we’re all, on offense a little humbled, a little embarrassed. Two games like that. And we feel like we’re better. There’s a lot of individual talent on that side of the ball, but offensive football is tough.

We’ve got to figure out how to work as a unit and as a team. And I think you can ask a lot of people in the NFL there’s no real magic bullet for that. There’s no magic recipe, but the clock’s ticking and we have to figure it out.

Q. Is it just about getting together and watching the tape, regrouping, trying to find it, or are you seeing similar things that happened last week happen again this week?
JAY CUTLER: You know, it’s just one thing after another. If it’s not a penalty, it’s a bust. If I’m not getting the ball out on time, we’re not ready on the outside. I think it’s just one thing after another. And third-and-long in this league is hard enough. Getting 15 is about impossible especially when you have multiple of those throughout the game.

Like I said, it’s hard on offensive football. We’ve got to figure it out. I don’t know the answer. There’s a lot of guys in there searching for the answer.

So it’s important to them. It’s important to me. Which I think is a good thing. So these guys are going to bust their tail, and we’ll watch it on the way home and we’ll go back to work.

Q. When you look around the locker room, do you feel you have the talent to be better than you are?
JAY CUTLER: Yeah, we’ve got all kinds of individual talent. But individual talent doesn’t really mean a whole lot on offense if you’re not working together. You’ve got 11 guys, a common goal doing exactly what you need to do. It’s orchestrated chaos out there, and we’re trying to figure out how to do a better job.

Q. How do you assess your throwing accuracy?
JAY CUTLER: There’s a lot that goes into that.

Q. Do you think it is disruptive coming to London?
JAY CUTLER: Do I think it’s disruptive? Yeah, I do. It’s not the — not the best circumstance for us. But we go to LA. We go to New York. It’s a life. It is what it is.

Q. How do you get to the point where you’re not panicking on offense?
JAY CUTLER: I don’t think we’re panicking now. I’m sure there’s some people in this room that are panicking, but we’re not panicking. We’ve played three games, two have been poor, one has been okay offensively.

I don’t think there’s any panic. If anything there’s some frustration and there’s a will to go back to work and try to figure out what’s wrong and how we can remedy it.

Q. Given that you’re relatively new to this group, you sense that there’s a lot of trust in you, even when things don’t go well (inaudible)?
JAY CUTLER: (Inaudible).
