WR Jarvis Landry

(On assisting the Miami Central High School football team that was stranded in Las Vegas.) – “It was something that was brought to our attention by our media department (Senior Vice President, Communications and Community Affairs) Jason (Jenkins) and his crew, and we had an opportunity to step up, and that’s something that God has blessed us with this platform to be able to do. We just took advantage of it, that’s all.”

(Did you think of yourself as a teenager, that first trip, being away from home, all of that?) – “Yes, I couldn’t imagine how scary it was for them and then the hurricane back at home and things like that. As unfortunate as it has been for those guys, we’re just glad that we could be a part of the efforts to try to get them back home.”

(What runs through your mind when you see some of the pictures? Every day new things are revealed. The keys are devastated and that sort of stuff.) – “It sucks. It sucks because these are people’s homes. It’s where people go just to get away and those places don’t look like that anymore. They aren’t so pretty; but that’s part of being an American. That place is going to rise again and people are going to fill it up again and that’s just a part of it. That’s what we believe in.”

(I wanted to get your thoughts on helping out the kids from Miami Central High School?) – “I was just saying that (Senior Vice President, Communications and Community Affairs) Jason (Jenkins) and his staff brought it to our attention and myself, (Ndamukong) Suh, Kenny (Stills), Reshad (Jones) and (Lawrence) Timmons stepped up and tried to find a way to, as nerve racking as it must be for them – these teenagers – to have an opportunity to be stuck there, but to have an opportunity to get them back home means a lot.”

(What’s the biggest challenge about when you do go up tempo with QB Jay Cutler?) – “For us, it’s finding out the Mike (linebacker) point. Once we get the Mike point, it’s seeing who we are hot off. A lot of our offense, we do throw hots, so it allows us that when teams blitz us, we have to know where the point is and things like that. So for us, that’s probably the most difficult part; but a lot of times, (Head) Coach (Adam Gase) puts us in a great position where we don’t have to worry about hots and sights. We just play fast.”

(So he decides when it’s time to go up tempo. What is he usually deciding it based on?) – “Based on whether it’s a big play, whether it’s just something that we want to come out and do that drive. A lot of our offense is no huddle. We just decide to slow it down. We’re not really a huddle team. We’re a no huddle team that decides to huddle when we want to. That’s a better way to put it.”

(What does it say about QB Jay Cutler, who has been here a month, that he can he do that and take over an offense and decide the pace of the offense?) – “It’s like I’ve been saying since the moment he got here, it shows so well and goes a long way that he’s been inside this offense already. Nothing has changed. Maybe the terminology a little bit; but as far as the concepts and things like that, nothing has changed. I think the biggest part was just getting used to our body language, coming in and out of routes, and that’s been about it. He’s doing that really well.”
