Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(Any pride you take in leading the league in receptions, or is it because you’ve caught so many balls over the last three years, it’s like old hat and it makes no difference to you?) – “Yes, it doesn’t make any difference (to me). I was giving Head Coach Adam (Gase) a little … I was getting after him a little bit today. I think Antonio Brown took it back last night so I’ve got to go back and get it. I told him I need a couple of extra passes this week.”

(How do you keep adapting from one quarterback to the next? You’ve had three the last two years.) – “My job is easy, just catch the ball, no matter who’s throwing it to me. It could be Head Coach Adam (Gase) throwing the ball for all I care. Honestly, (Ryan) Tannehill, Jay (Cutler), these guys have been so easy to work with. They’ve been very much on the communication side with me just as far as what can I do to help them? I think that helps me get the ball more and I have no problem with that.”

(QB Jay Cutler is known even among quarterbacks for his arm strength, for his velocity. Was there some adjustment to that for you, as far as just the speed?) – “Not really, not really. It’s just, you can simulate that on a JUGS machine and catch faster balls or balls that come in a little harder. For me, it was just focusing on his release. After the first day or two, that was already done. The harder part is for him getting adjusted to our body language and things like that.”

(Anything stand out to you when you look at the Tampa Bay defense? Other than your former teammate CB Brent Grimes?) – “They’re a good defense. They make plays. I think they’re one of the top teams in the league as far as forced fumbles and stuff like that. Ball security is going to be high for us, as always. For the most part, they play good defense.”

(Did you see Steelers WR Antonio Brown’s catch last night?) – “Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Their whole offense is exciting. Watching those guys play, the fun that they are having when they actually get in the end zone. They’re making that celebration rule really come to life.”

(I know the outcomes haven’t been what you wanted; but have you been encourage about how things have been going for your offense of the past few weeks?) – “Yes, we are growing. We haven’t really put a complete game together as far as offense, defense and special teams, and it’s hurting us. Penalties are hurting us on the offensive side of the ball. I think that’s the biggest thing for us that we need to find a way to fix.”

(What do you feel is going better now than maybe a month ago? What looks better in the offense?) – “We’re actually putting drives together and we’re not turning the ball over. I don’t think we turned the ball over much this year. We’re putting drives together. We’re scoring in the red zone, which we didn’t do pretty much since I’ve been here. We’re just hurting ourselves with penalties.”

(What did you think of the Skycam in last night’s Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee game?) – “It looked like a little video game. I saw that. I don’t watch TV much. I don’t watch the games much. I usually just watch them here; but I did watch the game last night. That was pretty cool.”

(Getting back to the circus catches for a second, we saw WR Kenny Stills make one, we’ve seen you do the one handed thing. What’s that like when, as a receiver, when you make a catch, that maybe you know people are going to be tweeting just like that?) – “I mean it’s what we work for. It’s part of every receiver. We take pride in our catching radius and that’s being able to catch the ball no matter where it’s placed, no matter its thrown, or no matter how you catch it. We take pride in that and so, like Antonio’s catch last night, I’m sure that was an amazing feeling. I don’t think he was worried about the tweets. He was more worried about the touchdown and the dance after; but that comes with. That comes with being great.”

(Are you guys planning anything touchdown-dance wise? You got anything?) – “Oh, it’s coming.”

(So there’s something in the works?) – “Yes its coming.”

(We keep trying to pry this out of you?) – “It’s coming. It’s coming. I can’t give you all of the ideas. If I give it you now, then what do you have to look forward to?”

(Just vaguely speaking, is it just you or is it like a group performance?) – “It’s a little bit of everything.”

(Will it be funny? Will it be dramatic?) – “You just get your tickets to the show. (Laughter).”
