RB Jay Ajayi

(The last time you guys played the Jets, it obviously didn’t go according to plan. What do you guys have to do this time, especially against that defense that’s very opportunistic?) – “Come out stronger, start fast from the first quarter, really execute and really just set the tone early.”

(We know it was a game that you were very disappointed in, just the way the offense was flowing. What has changed since then for you as well?) – “Just mindset – not getting frustrated too easy; and ust staying with it. We showed what we can do in the run game last week against a good team, so hopefully we can just carry it over this week.”

(Speaking of frustration, does it ever get frustrating at times when you guys are here focused on football, focused on the Jets, but it always seems like something else on the outside is bringing you guys into focus? Does it ever get frustrating?) – “Not really. We have a team. We don’t really get too worried about the outside noise. We just lock in when we come inside this building, come inside these walls, and just focus on each other getting better every day.”

(Have the Thursdays off that you’ve gotten, have they helped? Have you seen an improvement because of that rest you’ve gotten?) – “Yes, it’s been good to be able to have a coach that allows me to get a rest day during the week, just with the pounding of a long season. It’s been good. I feel like I’ve been fresh for games and I’ve been able to feel good on Sundays.”

(Do you feel better at this point in the season than you did last year?) – “Yes, I feel just about the same.”

(In terms of the pass catching, you’ve worked so much on it in the offseason, why is it not translating to the game?) – “I think it’s translating. I just think this last game, just (my) eyes, just making sure I get my head around on that one route and then just keeping my eyes to the ball. (I) just (want) to keep it going this season, staying consistent.”

(What’s up with the grill?) – “I’ve always had a grill. I’m just wearing it today.”
