Head Coach Adam Gase

(What did the personnel department like about TE A.J. Derby? What sort of skill there intrigued them?) – “That’s a guy they’ve been looking at. They’ve had a lot of information on him and felt good about it. He kind of fits what we do, so they just thought it was a good move to make.”

(Is TE A.J. Derby healthy enough to practice coming off injured reserve settlement?) – “We’ll see. We’ll see today.”

(How did illness affect T Laremy Tunsil in the last game?) – “You’ll have to ask him that. I texted him Thursday night. He said he was feeling a lot better and Friday he said he was good.”

(You have one rushing touchdown all season. You’re on pace to have the lowest in franchise history. What has contributed to that? Is that a concern?) – “It’s kind of the way it’s going this year. I don’t care how we score touchdowns – running, throwing it. (We) really haven’t had the opportunities to run it in the red zone. If you really look at it, that’s where most people get their rushing touchdowns unless you just bust a big one; but usually you’re throwing it in.”

(Is C Mike Pouncey hurt?) – “No, we were just … It’s our normal protocol. We practiced him the whole week last week. We were down numbers, so he went just to help the whole group out. We were just trying to be smart this week. We still got a ways to go here.”

(So, nothing out of the ordinary?) – “No.”

(How’s QB Matt Moore doing?) – “He’s a little banged up. That’s why you didn’t see him out there yesterday. He has got more than one issue going on right now.”

(Offensive Coordinator Clyde Christensen was in here talking about how the season has been kind of disjointed, the offense has never gotten into a rhythm. He wasn’t making an excuse. How much of a factor has that been, whether it’s switching quarterbacks or injuries or being out in California, whatever it has been?) – “It really doesn’t matter. Nobody cares. Figure out a way to move the ball and score points.”

(Does that get you out of rhythm or can that get you out of rhythm?) – “We just haven’t played well. We haven’t coached well. We’ve got to do a lot of things better. Really, that’s why we’re in the situation we’re in right now. We just need to have a really good week.”
