WR Kenny Stills

(What do you see from the team speed out there on offense? It looks like you guys have a lot of speed at wide receiver.) – “Yes. We focus every day on coming off the ball, running around, using the speed that we have. We feel like if we can put pressure on the defense, we can go out there and make plays.”

(Without WR DeVante Parker out there, it’s kind of a smaller wide receiver corps. How does that play into an advantage for you guys?) – “I wouldn’t say it’s an advantage, but we’ve got speed. We’ve got the talent. We’ve got guys that come out and make plays. It’s not something we’re really worried about. We’ll get DeVante back when we get him back. While he’s not here, we’ve got to go out and make plays.”

(What kind of growth have you seen from QB Ryan Tannehill so far this camp?) – “It’s some of the things I’ve touched on before – the leadership and just being more vocal. You see the confidence in his game. I wasn’t out there last preseason game, but the way he’s delivering the ball, the timing. He looks great. He looks confident. I’m happy to get on the field with him on Saturday.”

(What is your chemistry like with QB Ryan Tannehill? He missed all of last season but how quickly did it come back?) – “I spoke on this before, Ryan and I haven’t missed a beat. We spent a lot of time in the offseason throwing twice a week when we were not in the building. I never feel like our chemistry is going to be anything to worry about. We’re on the same page and he delivers the ball well and on time and a perfect spiral so we’re ready to go.”

(What does TE Mike Gesicki bring to this offense? He seems like a mismatch in the end zone.) – “I talked to Mike a lot about my time in New Orleans playing with a guy like Jimmy Graham, and just seeing when Jimmy had success, how it opened up the field for the rest of the guys. Obviously, they’re two different type of players, two different guys, but Gesicki can go up and get the ball. We know that if we can start to have success in the red zone and he can start to have success, it’s going to open the field for the rest of us. I’m proud to see the way he’s progressed in his blocking and his route-running and I definitely think he can help us this year.”

(Do you think he has TE Jimmy Graham-type potential?) – “I mean, the way he goes up and gets the ball, yes. He’s impressed me a lot here over training camp and these last couple of days. You don’t want to predict anything like that, but the guy can go up and make plays in the red zone. We’ll have to see what he does during the season.”
