RB Jay Ajayi

(Head Coach Adam Gase said yesterday in a light-hearted way that there are three hot heads on the team: himself, you and WR Jarvis Landry. How do you maintain your emotions on the sidelines?) – “Just trying to not get frustrated if a play is not executed the right way. We’ve got to keep our emotions in check just so that we can keep the offense rolling.”

(Is that something consciously you’re trying to do?) – “It’s definitely something that I’m working on now. I’m such a passionate player. I play with a lot of emotions, but at the same time, you can’t let those emotions affect the game or the team. Being in a role where we’re counted upon, and I feel like I’m counted upon in my role, I’ve got to just be able to hold my emotions in check sometimes.”

(The fact that the offense has not been able to hit big plays like last year, how is that impacting the running game for example in the way defenses approach you?) – “I think that once we can get those explosive plays, of course it’s going to help the run game. It’s also going to help if we can get explosive plays in the run game, which we haven’t been able to do that much. I just think it comes down to execution. If we can just really line up, do what we need to do, clean up the details, execute and make those big plays, our offense would be able to run a lot smoother.”
