WR Danny Amendola

(What makes you think this can be a successful NFL offense? What specific things have you seen?) – “We’re going to have to put in the work and we’re going to have to make the plays on Sunday. We’ve been practicing hard; we’ve been working hard and we’re going to get out there and we have a lot to prove. We’ll get out there and try our best to prove it.”

(How’s your chemistry with QB Ryan Tannehill so far?) – “We’re working hard. We’ll get out there on Sunday and let loose.”

(When you’re on a new team and you’re starting a new season, what is the anticipation like? How do you keep it just like a regular game?) – “It all comes down to just busting your tail out there in practice, mentally preparing in walkthroughs and throughout the week and then getting out there on Sunday and letting it go and seeing what happens. It’s a big game so we’re excited to get out there.”

(You’re lined up with a big tight end that can be sent outside. What kind of problems does a guy like TE Mike Gesicki provide when you line up next to a guy like that and you know there’s a 6-foor-6 guy next to you on the outside?) – “Certainly he can run, he can jump, he can catch and he’s a good football player. He has a lot to prove too. He’s a rookie. He’s never played in the league yet so he’s going to get out there and give it his best shot and go from there.”

(Have you added an intensity to the team, your personality?) – “I don’t know. You’d have to ask somebody else that, I guess. I’m just me. Whatever I can do to help this team win games is why I’m here.”

(You’ve obviously watched QB Ryan Tannehill some from a distance. Is there anything that you’ve learned about him about his skill set that is, I don’t want to say a pleasant surprise, but something good that you’ve learned working with him the last five months?) – “His communication skills are … that’s one thing that he’s really good at is communicating and getting guys lined up in the right spots, especially some new guys that are here this first year and trying to learn the offense. He’s got us right. His ability to communicate is huge.”

(When did you feel, whether it was in the offseason or camp or in preseason, that this offense would be pretty dynamic? When did you feel that?) – “We have a lot to prove. We don’t ever think that we’ve arrived or that this is easy because it’s never easy. Every game that we’re going to play is going to be a hard-fought, tough game. We’ve got to play well every game, every series and every snap. That’s my mentality.”

(This is the first time in a while that you’re entering a season as not the AFC frontrunner – on the team that’s considered that or certainly one of the top two – so is that a different feeling for you?) – “Good. Good. We’re going to come out fighting, for sure.”
