WR Jarvis Landry

(Head Coach Adam Gase was very strong with us saying mistakes had to be corrected and people have to do their jobs, emphasizing that. Was there even a stronger tone, impassioned tone from him today – not angrier, but firmer – or angrier for that matter?) – “Coach’s words are exactly what he has been telling us – things that we need to get corrected, things that we need to do better. We can’t hurt ourselves and put ourselves in third-and-12 and expect to make the first down. No matter what the call is, it’s going to be tough. Finding a way to get into third-and-manageable, not even get to third down. Our thinking (is) we want to get first, second down and move the chains from there. For us, we’ve got to find a way to do that, not have penalties, and when we get in the red zone, score. (It’s) that simple.”

(Should a team with this many veterans have this many mistakes happening even with all the things you had to deal with – the game postponed, etc.?) – “Mistakes happen all the time. Sometimes teams throw in something that we may have not prepared for. Mistakes happen; but the minimum ones, if we can just keep it to a minimum number … I hate to throw a number out there, but we have more then we need to have to win the game. That’s not going to help us.”

(How do you like the idea of preparing this week and not having to hop on a plane Friday, Saturday or Thursday?) – “It feels good to be home. For us, we want to start this this train again. Start this train and find a way to put some games together that’ll allow us to create some momentum throughout the rest of the season. We’ve got to find a way to put wins together. Which better way to start it than at home?”

(You’ve playing in London twice, right?) – “Three times.”

(Three times. So, do you feel like there’s a way that it could be done that would be a little easier, a little more conducive? Like a place in the schedule it could go? Especially with it being fresh in your mind, is there a way to make it work better for the players?) – “I don’t know, and honestly that’s out of my control. I just play football. I can’t do nothing about that. I don’t know.”

(Did the time of day mess with you? The time of day that the game was, not the time change; but knowing that it was like 9:30 in the morning eastern. Did it mess with your…?) – “It was 8:30 in the morning for them, and they bust our ass.”

(I’m just asking you what you think about it.) – “I’m just saying it doesn’t matter.”

(What stands out when you think back to the Tennessee game last year?) – “Well, we didn’t start fast. We were behind the chains a lot – third-and-12, third-and-15, third-and-25. They’ve got a great d-line. Those guys set the tone for them. The other guys kind of play off of them. Overall, they have a great defense. If they get you behind the sticks – any team in the NFL – if they get you behind the sticks, it’s going to be hard to convert to get a first down.”

(I see Head Coach Adam Gase go and talk to a bunch of guys during practice. Is he talking details? Is that basically what you guys got to get straight, the details?) – “The details, ideas, concepts, what we’re thinking that we’ll get versus the formation – just little things. Trying to find a way to put us in the best position to be successful.”

(How specific does Head Coach Adam Gase get?) – “Oh very. To the ‘T’. He’s not trying to hide things. We want to be on the same page, so that we can be successful. So, to the ‘T.’”

(I know last year was different, but how does that slow start from last year give you … Does it give you a little bit more confidence that, ‘We can get out of this hole?’) – “We prefer not. We prefer not to have a slow start but it happens. I think the beautiful part about it (is) we have 13 more games left. For us, we’ve got to put our best foot forward, continue to stay together as a team and win one game, one game at a time. That’s all we’ve got to do.”

(Playing 13 straight weeks, what do you … Are you doing anything differently to kind of take care of your body and make sure you’re fresh for the duration of the run?) – “You have to. I try to look after (Ndamukong) Suh and (Andre) Branch and all those guys who do an excellent job of taking care of their body – Cam (Wake), a guy who has played a numerous amount of years – and just following their lead with seeing (Director of Sports Performance) Wayne (Diesel) and the guys in the training room as much as possible. The coaches are doing a great job of watching over us with our GPS and things like that as well.”
