Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(With the impressive win last week – in the NFL one game a week – is there such a thing as momentum carrying from one week to the next?) – “Absolutely. For us, there is such thing as confidence. I think that not closing in on a couple of games that we had an opportunity to – not finishing those games and – (and) having an opportunity to beat a team like Pittsburgh here at home definitely gave us the confidence to carry the momentum.”

(Have you looked at your schedule, and do you know that you only play two teams with a winning record the rest of the way?) – “Did not. I did not. All the time you hear (Offensive Coordinator) Coach Clyde (Christensen) talk about, ‘The most important game is the next game, not to look ahead or look back. Just look forward to the next game.’ For us, that’s kind of where our focus has been.”

(How do you build on the success that you had against Pittsburgh?) – “Continue to execute. I think I said it the same day of the game. (It is about) every guy just doing their job, not going out of the ordinary or going off the reservation, do your job and counting that the other guys are going to do theirs.”

(How much do you take responsibility as far as keeping things steady around here?) – “What do you mean?”

(Just keeping the mood kind of steady in the locker room, everybody on the same beat.) – “This is our job. You got to come to work loving what you do. I think for us with the win and how things have been going for us lately, we’re going to want to try to continue to build off it. Day in and day out, we try to put together good days – good days, good practices, good plays – and hopefully that translates to Sunday.”

(You talked a little bit about the changes in practice and how coaches were chasing RB Jay Ajayi. What else was going on?)  – “Just pretty much that. It was something that we’ve always done, but (Head) Coach (Gase), he demanded more. As a receiver group, we took it upon ourselves to try to set the tone for the team, and hopefully other guys can follow along and there’d be 11 guys in the end zone when the guys runs to end zone. For us, that’s one thing we’re trying to build on here.”

(You’ve always played with a physicality, a tenacity. How do you get the rest of the locker room to bottle that?) – “I think guys have different skill sets; guys have different mentalities. I think looking at it – and looking at what we have – I think, for me, as long as every guy does their skill set whatever they do great or better than the next guy or better than the guy that they are facing, I have no doubt that they can win. As far as physicality, that’s something that (has) always been part of my game.”

(RB Jay Ajayi brought that physicality. What’s it like as a receiver on the field when you’re seeing Jay finish the runs the way he did on Sunday?) – “It’s amazing. It makes me want to try to run over somebody and block for him. I talked to him about it. Even on that last run, he broke a tackle through the safety and through the corner on that play (with) his effort and his will to get those extra yards for us.”

(When you saw on film the onside kick that Pittsburgh did at the end of the game that you caught, did you realize how badly you’d been – you’d been taken out – at that point until you’d seen it?) – “No, I didn’t. I didn’t, honestly. Obviously, you trust those guys to get their block, and they did their best. A guy got through and the whole thing of that play was as long as we come down regardless of what happened or who got hit, it’s a win for us. So, for me, I wasn’t even thinking about it.”

(You line up for that with no regard for your own safety at all?) – “None. I want the win. I’ll do whatever it takes.”

(What challenges do you see with the Buffalo defense?) – “They’re fast. Obviously, they have … They do a lot of different things on their defensive side of the ball as far as the packages that they have, the exotic blitzes – things like that. I think their d-end (Lorenzo Alexander) is leading the league in sacks right now. We have to find a way to execute at a high level. Again, just everybody has to do their job.”

(Are you in the wedding party for Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr.’s marriage to the kicking net?) – “I’m the best man. (laughter) I got the ring and everything. I can’t show you all right now, but you all will get some invites, too. You all are getting invited. We’ll have media there” (laughter).

(Have you thought of that whole story line that Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. has going?) – “I just want him to be happy. I want him to have as much fun as he possibly can have. If he’s doing that, I’m happy for him.”
