WR Jarvis Landry

(Did you do Secret Santa or anything?) – “Not in the locker room, but we did it through the (position) groups and stuff like that, the receivers room. One of these guys brought somebody a car. It’s crazy.”

(Wait, what?) – “That’s all I’m going into it; but it’s crazy.”

(We need more specifics about this? Are we talking like a Hugo, a Lexus, a Beamer?) – “Like a Dodge something, a Dodge something.”

(Did the person need the car?) – “No, absolutely not. The person has 10 cars already. I think that was kind of the point. Who knows? We’ll see.”

(What unit, if you can?) – “O-line. They got all of the money anyway.”

(The important question is, can they fit in that car?) – “I don’t know. I haven’t seen the car. I heard about it. I haven’t seen the car, so I don’t know. Probably not. That’s probably part of being Secret Santa, pranking each other and stuff.”

(You’re good friends with Steelers WR Antonio Brown. Are you a little bit conflicted that he gets hurt, a friend of yours gets hurt; but at the same time him getting hurt puts you in line for a pretty good shot at the receiving title?) – “No, no, no. It’s always unfortunate; but obviously in this league, things happen. He’s a great player. He does great things for his team, and the biggest concern for me, immediately after our game – I kind of saw that going through the ticker that he was going through the hospital – was his health, his personal health. That’s the biggest concern for me. I’m sure he takes pride in catching the most balls in the league and hopefully next year it’ll be a tighter race. We get a couple of guys back as well. We’ll get (Giants WR) Odell (Beckham, Jr.) back in the race and a couple of other guys. We’re all friends, we’re all brothers at the end of the day and that’s what it’s about. It’s about competing; but also celebrating each other’s success.”

(How significant would it be for you to get that receiving title?) – “It would be good.”

(What did you think of the Pro Bowl picks?) – “I respect all those guys’ game. It is what it is. I didn’t get in.”

(Were you stunned?) – “Of course. That has always been a goal of mine to make the Pro Bowl each and every year. I’m sure that any player in this league feels that way, that that’s an accomplishment. It sucks, but it is what it is.”

(Are you still hoping to go?) – “Yes, of course. More importantly, I just want to try to focus on getting another W.”

(We always hear the final two games is a chance to put tape out there. I know you guys kind of have a small chance of making the playoffs, but if guys put together good tape, does that ultimately lead to the ultimate goal of winning a game in general?) – “A good tape? Like a good game?”

(Yes.) – “Not all the time. Our biggest thing is penalties and turnovers. If you go back and look at it, most of the games that we won the turnover battle, the penalty battle, we win those games. For us, that’s the biggest thing. Win those two and we give ourselves a better chance.”

(Did you happen to see the controversial play at the end of the Steelers, Patriots game?) – “That was a catch and a touchdown.”

(I was going to ask you, do you have a firm grasp on what constitutes a catch anymore, do you think?) – “That’s a little bit different considering that he crossed the line. Once the ball breaks the plane, it’s automatically a touchdown, just as Calvin Johnson’s was when this all started. He had two feet down and his whole body fell down and then the ball (came out) – after he placed it on the ground pretty much. Dez Bryant as well. It’s something that I don’t know if we have a true grasp on as far as refereeing it; but it never seems to work out in the receiver’s favor, ever.”

(Getting back to the secret Santa thing, what did you receiver?) – “I don’t know. We haven’t exchanged gifts yet. We’re going to do that later this evening.”
