Cornerback Byron Maxwell

(On Terrelle Pryor Sr. and what made it difficult to cover him yesterday) – ”I mean, he’s 6-6, 240 (pounds) and runs a 4.4. Anytime he gets the ball in his hands with just a little bit of space (or) separation, he can take it the distance. He’s fast; he’s big. He’s a problem. He can be a problem in this league, if he stays consistent. He was their offense. He made a lot of plays.”

(On Head Coach Adam Gase mentioning that former quarterbacks that play wide receiver know how the quarterback thinks and where they need to be) – “I don’t know. He hasn’t said much about that. I know Terrelle (Pryor Sr.). I was a teammate with him (in Seattle) and I know he was a great athlete. He is a great athlete.”

(On if it’s incredible for Terrelle to be the odd man out last year, but to make the impact he’s making right now) – “It’s incredible, but at the same time, he’s always had his skill set. He’s always had the ability. He’s probably one of the more athletic guys on the field. It probably came real easy for him. He’s an athlete. Put the ball in his hands.”

(On Head Coach Adam Gase saying that everybody’s job is at risk going forward) – “I don’t know anything. I just got in the building. I don’t feel anything.”

(On if he has ever gone against Bengals WR A.J. Green and what makes him a great receiver) – “He has good ball skills. I think that’s the thing that separates him. He comes in and out of his breaks like a little guy. He’s good. I went against A.J. Green in high school.”

(On if he has faced Bengals WR A.J. Green since high school) – “Not since (high school). He’s younger than me. I came out two or three years before him.”

(On how good Bengals WR A.J. Green was in high school) – “He was a beast in high school.”

(On the challenges of playing a Thursday night game) – “Recovery and just game study, ; being able to get enough information so you feel like you know the team you’re about to play. We’ll definitely be familiar with their personnel because of ‘V.J.’ (Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph) and (Linebackers Coach) Matt (Burke). Besides that, I’ve got to figure them out myself at the same time.”

(On if it motivates you to hear a coach say he is going to take you out of a game if you’re not playing well) – “This is my first time hearing about it, so I don’t know how to take that. But, that’s just the NFL. You have to do your job. If you don’t do your job, they’re going to find a replacement. And there’s a lot of guys that want to do your job and are willing to do the right things.”

(On the Bengals wide receiver WR Tyler Boyd) – “I’m just starting to get on the Bengals now.”

(On how much time he puts in film work for a regular Sunday game) – “It’s a lot. I just go home and watch it. I watch it like I watch TV. That’s really it. I go home, I watch it.”

(On how much time he can commit to watching film this week) – “I’ll watch it today, tomorrow and then you have time before the game too, and you have the plane ride there. It’s a lot of time. You can get it in.”

(On what was good and bad during yesterday’s game for him personally) – “I gave up some passes, (that’s) the bad. But I made the plays when they counted. That’s all that matters. And we got the W.

(On Head Coach Adam Gase’s statement firing him up) – “No, I don’t think it fires you up; but the sense of urgency and you know you could lose your job. If that’s not motivating to anybody, I don’t know what to tell them. It definitely raises the sense of urgency around here. You’ve got to win. You’ve got to win now.”

(On not much celebrating after Sunday’s game) – “To be honest with you, I think we were like ‘Alright, we got the win.’ It’s our first win. We really needed that for us, for our confidence. I think everybody was like, ‘Alright we got the Bengals now. It’s Thursday. It’s a short week.’ We didn’t play well, but we got something else we’ve got to get to.”
