WR DeVante Parker

(We haven’t seen you since Sunday’s game. I just wanted to ask you about the play in the end zone. What was your perspective on what happened on that play?) – “I just feel like I should have came down with that. That’s what I do best. I don’t know what happened. I just didn’t make the play that we needed, really.”

(When you look back at that game, although you weren’t able to put any points and that’s what you guys set out to do, do you feel like kind of a glass half full just knowing that you were able to at least drive the ball and get to Buffalo’s side of the field? Just wasn’t able to turn it into points.) – “We were moving the ball. We just have to punch it in. That’s the biggest thing that we needed really. Even if it’s a field goal or anything. We just have to do better and we’ll do that.”

(What was practice like with QB Jacoby Brissett leading you?) – “I’d say practice to me is the same as it always is. The same. In and out of the huddle, the same things we’ve been doing. Nothing different.”

(QB Jacoby Brissett has played in 50 or more NFL games. How would you describe his leadership approach?) – “I would say just like any other leader. They’ll tell us if we’re not doing something right, let us know or ‘come on guys, we need to get this’ or something like that. Just little things in the huddle. Small things like that.”

(How different is the ball coming from a right-handed quarterback to a left-handed quarterback?) – “I see it the same both ways. Doesn’t affect me really, but the same way.”

(Do QB Tua Tagovailoa and QB Jacoby Brissett throw the ball similar or does one throw it harder than the other?) – “To me, I think it’s the same really.”

(So obviously you guys didn’t score in the last game, but you did move the ball up and down the field. You did get first downs. Can you take some encouragement from that – the fact that you guys moved the ball pretty well at times?) – “Yeah, for sure, but it can’t be at times. It has to be all the time especially just help out the defense. They’re doing a good job and we just want to be all as one.”

(What do you remember most about the game at the Raiders last year?) – “I remember that one big play. I didn’t play in that game, but I was there. I remember that one big play that we had and it helped us win.”

(Were you watching WR Mack Hollins on the sideline or were you watching Ryan Fitzpatrick’s helmet get wrapped around his head?) – “I was watching ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) and him getting it wrapped around his head so I didn’t know what was going on down there until I heard everybody cheering. So I looked down there and I’m like, ‘oh, made a catch.’”

(Just quick question about Raiders CB Trayvon Mullen. I’m not sure if he’s going to follow you around or not come Sunday, but what kind of challenges do a longer cornerback like that present?) – “Corners like him, they’ve got the long arms. They have to grab on you and we just got to do a good job getting their hands off of you.”

(Is that more from your perspective to try go up for a 50/50 ball against a guy who can look you in the eye rather than a 5’10, 5’11 type dude?) – “It’ll be tough. It’ll be a tough matchup. Good player over there so you’ve got to stick to what you know.”

(Think you’ll finally get WR Will Fuller V in the offense this week. What do you think his addition will do you for you and WR Jaylen Waddle and TE Mike Gesicki and the rest of the guys?) – “I think having Will (Fuller) out there will help open things up a little bit more. Looking forward to just have him out there with us.”
