Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(What do you see? They are not just a great rush defense, they’re a great defense overall. What do you see on film when you watch the Ravens defense?) – “Obviously they’re a great defense, like you said, and they have been for a long time. They take pride in that. But for us, we understand that there’s going to be a challenge to run the football, to protect; but I have faith in the guys up front that they’re going to get the job done like we have every week so far.”

(If you get T Branden Albert and G/T Laremy Tunsil back, nothing against the backups, but what kind of shot in the arm would that be for the offense?) – “Obviously, having those two guys on the field helps us out; but I think that those guys that have stepped in and filled those positions as well have really stepped in and filled the role as much as they could, and we’ve won. Obviously, we want them out there; but if not, we’re going to continue to move forward.”

(S Michael Thomas does a lot for you guys on special teams, does he deserve a spot in the Pro Bowl?) – “Absolutely. Mike T is one of those guys that every year deserves a spot. He kind of is what (Matthew) Slater is for New England; he’s kind of that for us. Around this league, he’s well known, not only for his defense playing safety, but also for special teams.”

(How meaningful will it be for to be wearing those cleats on Sunday?) – “Very meaningful. Just having personal ties with (Cystic Fibrosis), and having the opportunity to share and raise awareness about it. It’s something that is really unique, and I thank the NFL for giving me the opportunity – the NFL for giving the players the opportunity period, to stand behind something.”

(Some of your teammates have echoed that they respect Head Coach Adam Gase because he treats all of you like grown men. There’s also an aspect that he has a cool factor. Does he have that cool factor because of his age and he can relate to players?) – “I think there’s a way that he wants things done and it’s a standard level. When changing the culture, sometimes it’s not going to be as pretty or as easy to make decisions; but sometimes those decisions have to be made. It’s his job and his position to make those decisions. How people judge him or how I judge him, how you judge him, it doesn’t matter as long as he’s doing the right thing for this organization. That’s the direction we need to be headed in.”

(What have you seen out of WR Leonte Carroo from the beginning of his rookie year until now?) – “Just constant growth. He’s been a guy who, along with Jakeem Grant, has come in and each day, each week, they’re just trying to learn more and more. To see him finally get in the end zone this past week means everything – I know to him – but just to the receivers’ room as a whole. If a guy goes down, you step up and we don’t miss a beat. For him to come in and do it like he did, it says a lot about him.”
