Postgame – N.Y. Jets

TE Adam Shaheen

(I’m wondering what role QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has played in what has happened since you’ve joined the team for you?) – “I mean ‘Fitz’ is just such a good leader for our locker room and being able to play with somebody that’s been doing it for so long at a high level, it’s awesome. It’s fun too because you see how much fun he’s having. It rubs off on everybody.”

(You had a long, I believe it was a 43-yard catch in the seam. Could you tell me if you knew the ball was probably going to come to you? What’s the behind-the-scenes stuff on that play?) – “No. I mean they snapped it and I don’t know if the defense was ready for them to snap it and I saw the middle just wide open and just kind of threw up my hand and Fitz saw me and made a play and of course I got hocked, so that’s great.”

(Hey Adam, two touchdowns in two games for you now. I got TE Durham Smythe in the end zone for his first career touchdown today. TE Mike Gesicki obviously catches plenty of touchdowns. Is there a bit of a competition between you guys and the receivers as far as who can get in the end zone the most?) – “I wouldn’t say that. I think we’re all just so happy that we’re putting points on the board however they come. We left some out there today so there’s still room for improvement big time.”

(You’re 3-3 at the bye, where is the direction of this team right now? Is the arrow up on the Miami Dolphins?) – “I think we’re playing with more confidence week by week and I think it’s going to carry over. It’s a good time for a bye week with the schedule change and come back after even stronger and healthier and see what we can do towards kind of the back half of the season.”

(You’ve always been able to catch the ball so this is nothing new. I know it’s just been a matter of health; but I wondered, TE Mike Gesicki mentioned Tight Ends Coach Godsey has helped him a lot. Has there been any area where Coach Godsey has helped develop your game that you’ve focused on working with him that you believe has improved?) – “I wouldn’t even say just – George as well as the other tight end coaches that we’ve had, they’re on us every day whether it’s run blocking, pass pro or route running. It’s been a total improvement, I think. It’s been really positive from all three of those guys. It’s been great.”
