Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(How has everything been going with QB Matt Moore back there now, and how fluid does the passing game look?) – “He’s only been back there for a day, but we have extreme confidence in him. The thing about Matt is he’s a pro. Since I’ve been here for the last three years, he’s trained, he’s practiced, like he was the starting quarterback. For us, it’s another opportunity for another guy to step up.”

(Do you personally reach out, maybe not so much to QB Matt [Moore] but at least to QB T.J. [Yates] to kind of help him acclimate or give him tips or anything?) – “Today was the first day, I don’t know if he signed today, or when he signed. Today was the first day getting an opportunity to see him, to see T.J.  But he’s been with the quarterback’s coach all day, so I haven’t really had much time to chat.”

(How much realistically does it change in preparation for an offense, whether there are limitations or not, and what you can do going in with a game plan with a new quarterback?) – “There are no limitations. There are no limitations, and again, I say Matt (Moore) has practiced like he was the starter. He’s taken all of those mental reps, and he’s taken some of those physical things too – reps as well. For us, it’s continuing to do the things that we do well, and win one game.”

(As far as the nuances of the game as a receiver, just the ball placement, when he throws the ball, just the way the ball comes in, anything like that. Is that different at all? Does that take much preparation or change for you?) – “I get paid to catch the ball. I get paid to catch the ball regardless of who throws it, how it’s thrown, where it’s placed. It’s our job to make it right. Our receivers coach, Coach (Shawn) Jefferson, he puts that standard over our head. That doesn’t play a factor for us.”

(How much have you been looking forward to meaningful football here in December?) – “I think this whole … If you’re a Miami fan, you’ve been looking forward to it for a long time. Just being here, and to just to see how things have evolved, where we came from and where we have the position to be heading to, it’s amazing. It’s something that definitely makes you jump out of bed in the morning and come to work with a smile on your face.”

(Does it matter the elements when it comes to football at this time?) – “It does not. The elements does not matter. Just winning one game, that’s all that matters.”

(That’s good, because it’s going to be kind of cold and rainy.) – “Well, we’ll figure something out to stay dry, and to stay warm.”

(Do you know how many yards away from 1,000 you are?) – “I don’t.”

(You’re 77 yards away from 1,000 yards.) – “Well, as long as we get the win, I’m sure it will come. It’ll be in there somewhere. As long as we get the win, I’m fine with that.”

(Is that benchmark important to you?) – “Of course, but it’s one of those things I honestly don’t really pay too much attention to. I kind of already expect it, so I don’t really pay attention to it. It’s more of the victory, like I said, it’s more of the victory. Those personal things, they’ll come.”

(Talk about the fans getting used to, maybe this time of the year not seeing this team in the race. And obviously they are now. How much … They’re obviously following the standings. How much are you guys following the position, the standings, the tiebreakers, what you need to get into the playoffs?) – “Head Coach (Adam) Gase does a great job of re-gaining our focus, just to the task at hand. Not looking forward, not looking back, but looking at who we’re facing, the New York Jets. And that for us is key. It’s crucial for us that we approach each week like that, and try to go 1-0 instead of trying to think of where we will be placed. It’s not our … If we don’t win these games, it doesn’t matter. So for us, we want to go 1-0 every week.”
