WR Kenny Stills

(Offensively, what’s the feeling?) – “I mean obviously we’ve got to points on the board. It’s frustrating not to be helping out the other side of the ball. The defense and special teams have been doing their thing for the most part and so we’ve got to do our job.”

(Is there anything that stands out to you as being the problem? Whether it’s blocking or catching the ball or time to throw or anything?) – “We’ve just got to get back to the basics, like I was saying earlier, and execute our game plan. Whatever the coaches are telling us to do, we need to go out there and do it and obviously we’re not doing it right now.”

(Was there much discussion on the flight home or that wasn’t the time among offensive players?) – “It was pretty late. We all got some rest on the way home.”

(Being in a similar situation last season, how much has that helped as a team just to dig out of this?) – “I think it gives us that sense of there’s no need to panic. We understand that the schemes that we’re running in the run game take a little bit of time for guys to get on the same page. We know that we have players. We know we have talent. We know we have great coaching. So like I said, we’ve just got to get back to the basics, fundamentals of things and execute the game plan every week and we’ll get back on the right track.”

(What’s the mood been like in the locker room?) – “What do you mean?”

(The mood, you know, after…?) – “I mean nobody likes to lose. Like I said, we know the potential that we have and the talent that we have. So we’re just really more anxious to get another opportunity to go out there and for the offense to put some points on the board and an opportunity to win a game.”

(And your thoughts on just what happened in Vegas?) – “You know it’s … I always struggle to find the words when things like this happen. I’m really just saddened by the things that are going on. Obviously people always talk about and tweet about praying for the people and what’s happened out there, but I think there needs to be some action taken.
We’ve got to figure out ways to keep stuff like this from happening. My heart and prayers go out to everybody that’s been affected out there. I just hope that we can do something to start resolving things that are happening like this.”

(You said something really important. You said thoughts and prayers, we’ve heard that too many times already. Action…) – “Yes, I mean it’s … You just hope that we can all put our minds together to do something to stop things like this from happening and there’s no better time than now.”

(A couple of weeks ago you talked about the speed in which the calls were coming in. I know yesterday you had issues with the helmet and all, but overall were the plays in any faster?) – “Yes, that was really more of a joke than anything. Coach was talking about us tempo-ing and why we weren’t going as fast as they thought we should, and I just was saying get the plays in faster. That was more of a joke than anything; but no, we haven’t had trouble with that. We just, like I said, we need to go out there and execute the game plan. We did pretty well in the first drive and had an opportunity to put points on the board and then we kind of just went away from there. We’ve got to all get on the same page and start executing what the coaches are asking us to do.”

(Where’s the teams confidence in QB Jay Cutler right now?) – “It hasn’t gone anywhere. We believe in Jay. We know what he can do. There’s nothing that anyone can say that’s going to separate us from our team, from our locker room. We’ve got a ton of confidence in everybody in this building – top to bottom. Like I said, we’re going to go out there this week, practice, get the basics right and go out there and execute the game plan and go try and get a victory.”

(Are there parallels between this year and last year at 1-4?) – “We’re not 1-4.”

(No, but just in general?) – “I mean, (it’s a) slow start but it’s hard to think about what we went through last year. It was a totally different situation and like I said, we know what we have. We’ll just go out there and get it right this week.”

(QB Jay Cutler’s taken quite a few hits and quite a few sacks. Is it the case where so far everybody is not on the same page offensively? Are the wide receivers getting open? Does he have enough time to throw the ball?) – “Honestly, it’s just a matter of us all 11 working together for one cause. It’s never one group that’s to blame or on any particular play. We’ve just all got to come together every play and do our jobs together and execute.”
