Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(You guys are 6-1 at home, but does it feel like you guys are a dominant home team to you?) – “What do you think?”

(Well, you’re 6-1. You’ve done a damn good job. Are you dominant or does it matter to be dominant at home?) – “I think we still have things that we have to continue to improve on and build on but we definitely feel like we have the home-field advantage here.”

(And does the crowd play any part in that?) – “Absolutely. All the support. We need it.”

(How so?) – “For us, when teams come in here, they’ve always been expected to communicate. When we have the support that we’ve been having from the fans and as loud as it has been with the defense that we have, it makes it hard for opponents to communicate.”

(Does the lid make a difference?) – “The lid?”

(The new top [canopy] on the stadium?) – “No, it’s the people.”

(How important do you think it is that you guys know that you’ve won the last three at home against the Patriots?) – “It’s this year, right? I think if you think about it, I think we’ve done well here at home; but, obviously we have to finish this one. Then I would think we answer that question again … (I mean) ask that question again.”

(Is there extra motivation that if you beat the Patriots and get some help, you guys are the fifth seed in the playoffs?) – “All we’re worried about is the Patriots.”

(Whether it’s inside leverage or outside leverage that the DB might have on you, you’re able to get wherever you want to on the field. What do you attribute that to?) – “Footwork, film study, anticipation and reaction, honestly – kind of reacting of what he does and knowing where I’m going. He doesn’t know where I’m going, so using that to my advantage.”

(Does a lot have to do with the situation as well and knowing where the DB is supposed to be also?) – “Absolutely, and that’s part of film study.”

(WR Kenny Stills said yesterday that he came into the season realizing that he was kind of the old man in the room. And you are a little bit too. You’re one of the more experienced guys. He took it upon himself that he needed to be one of those guys like what WR Greg Jennings was last year. Have you seen kind of a change in Kenny as far as leadership goes?) – “He’s alwyas been a constant leader. Kenny has always been a constant leader. He’s always been the more accountable one in the room and held everybody to a high standard but also holding himself to that same standard. Especially over this season, he’s definitely grown and become a stronger leader.”

(I know every team deals with injuries but I feel like you guys are a little bit more snaked than anyone. You lost another starter this week. Do you feel a little more snake bit than anyone? I mean, you’ve lost so many starters. Your quarterback’s out for a few weeks. Do you feel more than normal number of injuries you guys have suffered?) – “It happens. We play a dangerous game and people get hurt; but at the same time, people have to step up. And this organization has done a great job of getting guys that have been able to step up when people went down and go in and do the job the right way. That’s credited to the wins that we’ve had.”

(What does it say about this team that you’ve gone 9-1 in the last 10 games despite all the injuries you’ve had?) – “(Head) Coach (Adam) Gase brought the focus in – one game at a time. We had to self-evaluate ourselves and take a step back and start approaching each game that way. When we started doing that, we started having success.”

(Why do you think you guys, the three receivers, balance each other out so well?) – “Because we all pose a different threat. Kenny (Stills) is speed. DeVante (Parker) is size. Myself, just being able to get the ball in my hands and try to make something out of nothing. For us, it allows us to throw screens. It allows us to throw a drag to DeVante and he’ll break a tackle and go 60 (yards). Or we get 0 (yards) and then Kenny runs past somebody and Matt (Moore) hits him down the field. So for us, we all pose three different threats.”
