WR Jaylen Waddle

(Obviously we all saw what happened on Monday Night Football. As a football player, how difficult was it to see and witness that?) – “It’s definitely difficult. We kind of get normal to how the game of football is played and don’t really look at how violent the game is. So seeing a play like that, it’s hard. I’m praying for him, his family, the Bills organization, his teammates and everyone involved in it. It’s tough but everyone’s praying for him. Our team our family is praying for him.”

(How tough is it for you to basically focus on your task at hand after what transpired? You guys have a big game coming up this Sunday as well.) – “It’s definitely tough after something so traumatic happens like that to go out there and obviously focus on competing and playing the same sport that something like that can happen. It’s definitely tough. We’re working through it. I think we did a good job of talking about it and coming together as a team, and just talking about what happened and getting back and trying to stay focused on our game.”

(With this game of so much magnitude, it looks like QB Skylar Thomson may be the starter. How much confidence do you guys have going in with him up against the Jets?) – “We’re definitely confident. We’re confident in Skylar, confident in our players and playmakers to help build him up and go out there and compete and try to execute our game plan.”

(What do you think QB Skylar Thompson does very well?) – “I think Skylar doesn’t try to be no one else but himself. He goes out there and tries to play his game. He doesn’t try to be Tua (Tagovailoa) or Teddy (Bridgewater). He just goes out there and just plays his own game.”

(How much would it help for QB Skylar Thompson to play an entire game for once because as you know, they’ve never started a game and ended a game this season that QB Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t started?) – “I think it’s just going to help him out on just confidence. His confidence level going throughout the game, starting, knowing he’s going to go out there and play and hopefully finishing the game. It’s just more for him to go out there and just kind of get a view of in-game plays.”

(I wanted to ask about QB Mike Glennon. How much do you know about him coming in?) – “I know a little bit about Mike. I know he’s an ‘OG’. I think it’s like his (10th) year. He’s played for a couple of teams. He can come in and help us out in the back end. I know a little bit about him”

(You’ve seen this Jets rivalry. It’s your second year. We know a lot of New Yorkers live down here in South Florida. How important is it for the South Florida fans, the Dolphins fans especially, to flood the field on Sunday to make sure it’s a true home-field advantage?) – “Definitely. We want all our fans to come out and support us. It’s going to be a good game. We definitely need all the support and all the help we can get to get this W this week. Everyone needs to come out and show support.”
