Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry

(On LSU’s loss to Wisconsin last weekend) – “It’s always tough to see. It’s always tough to see your alma mater take a loss, especially to a couple Big Ten guys. It happens.”

(On the challenges Seattle’s secondary presents) – “(It is about) understanding who they are and the nature of their style of football. They’re going to be physical. We know they’re going to make plays on the ball. We know they live for third-and-long situations. That’s kind of where they, ‘make their money’ and get teams off the field and get their turnovers. We’ve got to find a way to be efficient and effective.”

(On whether there is a lot of adrenaline when facing a talented secondary) – “A lot. For me, that’s why I play this game. You go up against guys like Richard Sherman, that whole secondary … To go up against guys like that – to go up against them with the guys we got here – I’m excited about it. I’m excited about the challenge and (am) looking forward to it, actually.”

(On whether crowd noise is something the team can prepare for) – “It’s something that we can try to prepare for, but you never get the true effect. We’ll see when we get there, but obviously, we understand that (it is the) first game of the season and that it’s going to be loud. We’ve worked on communication things to be able to establish the communication and still run effective plays.”

(On whether QB Ryan Tannehill’s leadership role has evolved every year) – “Every year. I know it kind of sounds like I keep saying the same thing, but every year I see this guy grow and for the last few years, (he’s grown) more and more as a leader. It’s something that this team needs. It’s something that this team needs, and he has stepped to the forefront and obviously been appointed captain, it shows.”

(On whether the team captains were selected by a team vote) – “Team vote.”

(On whether it’s important for the quarterback to be a team captain) – “It doesn’t matter. Some people say, ‘A great team is a team full of leaders.’ (Ryan Tannehill) was just appointed to that position to wear the ‘C’ on the jersey or whatever it may be. I believe that we’ll have a team full of leaders.”

(On whether leaders are more effective leading by example or when they are vocal) – “I’ve seen it both ways. I’ve seen it effective both ways. I’ve seen it in a negative way in some cases. I can speak for myself: I’ve been more of a leader by example more than vocal. I’m a passionate person, and I use that (and) let that feed what guys feed off of and lead by doing the right things on and off the field. Guys really appreciate that and they follow that.”

(On whether Seattle’s cornerbacks play by sides or pick a receiver and stick with them – “They play sides, right and left.”

(On matching up against CB Richard Sherman) – “Happy to see him. Happy to see him since (the) Pro Bowl. Let’s work. Let’s work. At the end of the day, it’s friendly competition. Even though we’re on opposite sides, he won’t shy away from me, and I won’t shy away from him. That’s what this game is about.”

(On if he gets fired up when cornerbacks talk to him on the field) – “I do. As a corner, he has got 10 other guys he can feed off. As a receiver, you have to make plays before you can start talking yourself. (laughter) I’ll let the game go as it goes, and we’ll see what happens.”
