Wide Receivers Coach Josh Grizzard

(I wanted to ask you about the Preston Williams touchdown reception in that game. It looked like the cornerback drove into outside leverage and he crossed back across his face. I wanted to get your take on how you approach that play when you have to get inside, and the cornerback is playing inside of you?) – “Yeah, Preston did a good job on that play. He kind of took some things we talked about over the past couple of weeks, techniques that the defender uses and how we can try to setup some things, not only that we’ve done in the past but the way that they play it in order to take advantage of a look. Kudos to him because he ran a hell of a route, and being on the same page as ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick), it’s good to see that practice execution becoming game reality. Nice play. Nice celebration too.”

(You’ve got a couple of guys who may not be fulltime natural receivers in Lynn Bowden Jr. and Malcolm Perry that you guys are trying to bring into that room. I wanted to ask you, how do you go about trying to teach them some of the nuances of  the game that maybe other guys may have a little more comfort with but you’re trying to teach to them and get them ready to play whenever their number is called?) – “It really comes from the reps, on those guys taking them. They can look at it as possible from somebody else doing it or things we’ve done over the last couple of years; but to physically do the reps themselves and feel the spacing on things, then they file that away for the next time they need to run it. Now with all of that said, based on practices, they also need to have an element of seeing someone else do it, and try to learn from what they did well or poorly in order to when they do it, they can try to eliminate a mistake or run it like they ran it, so we can have a successful play.”

(I wanted to ask you about N.Y. Jets Head Coach Adam Gase. Obviously he gave you your start in the NFL a few years back. He’s going through a tough time. Did you say anything to him after the game, and what are your thoughts on what he’s going through right now?) – “Yeah, I’ll be forever appreciative to Adam for bringing me here and giving me my first opportunity in the NFL. It’s always – you want to see success from guys that you know and are friends with. Of course within the division, anytime we play – whether it’s the Jets, Bills, New England – anybody, we’re trying to win the game. After the game, unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to talk to him or really any of the guys that I’m friends with on that staff; but it kind of is what it is in the National Football League. Like I said, after the game, it happened so quick that guys kind of go to their locker rooms. I didn’t get a chance to talk to him.”

(I was going to ask you what slot receivers, if any, have you given RB/WR Malcolm Perry or WR Lynn Bowden Jr. to study on tape? Any cut ups of anybody and who would they be?) – “I haven’t given them anybody really. It’s all stuff off of what we do and our things from the offseason – not the offseason, because we didn’t have that, but through camp. We make cut ups of concepts that we did this correctly, we did this poorly. It’s all about really us. We don’t look at anybody else as much as, it’s just so focused in a year where we didn’t get OTAs and all of that, that it’s all got to be about the Dolphins and not really anybody else.”
