Head Coach Adam Gase

(Have you made a decision or has a decision been made on WR Danny Amendola’s availability for Sunday?) – “No. I won’t know until Sunday.”

(What have you gotten out of WR Danny Amendola? What has he been able to do this week?) – “I mean he can run straight. We’re waiting to see lateral movement, how well he really feels doing that. We’ll be able to work on some stuff tomorrow and see how he feels.”

(I assume WR Danny Amendola thinks he’s good to go?) – “I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him yet. He’s always going to tell me that. Just like in the game, he said he was alright.”

(So you think you might take WR Danny Amendola through a workout Sunday morning?) – “We’ll see where we are tomorrow.”

(C Travis Swanson?) – “He didn’t do anything in practice today. It’s a wait-and-see (with him). We’ll get to Sunday and figure it out.”

(I’m not asking who you are going to play at slot receiver if you have to, but who do you have that can? Who do you have that you think…) – “Really, all of them can do something. We’ve got enough packages to mix all of these guys around between receivers, tight ends, running backs and all of those types of things. We just have to have more guys doing it. It won’t be just one guy.”

(How often do you see a guy on a scout team catch your eye and really make plays? A few times a year?) – “Offensively, it’s a little easier because guys are getting either catches or getting a chance to run the ball. I think (Kalen) Ballage, especially at the beginning of the year, he really was flashing and having some big runs and doing some really good things. The one I think back to is being in Denver, Brandon Marshall – the linebacker – that’s where he really started. We got him from Jacksonville. He frustrated anybody that he went against. Knowshon (Moreno) always thought he was tough. He was the one linebacker that could go out on Julius (Thomas) and give him problems. Peyton (Manning) was a huge fan of his where we would do something one week and if we tried to do something similar the next week, he would be calling out our plays and it would drive us nuts because we felt like we couldn’t get as good of work because he knew what our stuff was. He really used that time and developed and when he got his opportunity, he made the most of it. He’s had a really good career.”

(How do you know when your scout team is effective? Do you see that on Sunday that your team reacts to looks pretty well? How do you know?) – “I think it’s more about if guys are in the spots that we need them to be in and are playing the coverages the way that we need to, because it’s not always the same as what we do. So there are some things that they have to adjust to and maybe some things that they haven’t played before. When you start getting the right looks, you can see it on tape that it looks close to what we’re actually seeing from the other team.”

(Have you been happy with the discipline of this team, by and large, this year?) – “Yeah. These guys just work. They get to the office and they just grind.”

(And on Sundays?) – “Yeah, I mean they try to do everything we ask them to do. We’re not close to being perfect by any means; but last week, you watch the film and you see the effort. Guys – whatever they have – are giving it.”
