WR Kenny Stills

(G Isaac Asiata was talking about just the war paint. I’m sure you spoke about it a little bit yesterday, but what was the initial idea to come up with that?) – “He just had mentioned it to me early in the season. I wear eye black or the stickers every week, so I was down to do it yesterday.”

(Did you feel a little more emboldened by doing it?) – “No. Obviously when you do something like that, you’ve got to go out there and play well. It just was a little bit extra fire for me to go out there and do my thing.”

(Speaking of extra fire, some say QB Matt Moore brought a little bit of extra fire to the huddle yesterday. Did you kind of get that sense? Head Coach Adam Gase said maybe it’s playing with more urgency knowing it’s a backup quarterback.) – “I said it yesterday, it’s just something about quarterbacks. Some of them, when they step in the huddle, they are just like … You can tell they’ve been doing it forever. Yes, maybe Matt had a little more urgency, because we were down. We knew we had to put up some points on the board to get back in the game, but I didn’t feel like anything was different. It’s just like regular Matt. We practice with him all the time; we prepare with him all the time. So, when he gets his opportunity, he goes in there and makes plays.”

(Did you get a chance to enjoy with “W” as much as the others given a short week?) – “For me, it’s always by the time I wake up the next day, it’s over with, so (I’m) on to the Ravens.”

(What’s the biggest challenge of playing on Thursday night?) – “Just getting your body prepared and getting all the mental reps – the extra film – because you’re missing out on a couple days.”

(Can you explain QB Matt Moore’s personality to people who don’t know him?) – “Matt is a fiery guy. He loves to have fun. He has been doing this thing for a long time. He’s still the guy in here every day that’s talking trash. Every time you see him throw a good ball, he’s screaming, ‘Dimer!’ or doing the shots fired (pose). He really just enjoys his job. He loves being here. That kind of just … It spreads to everyone else on the team. We go out there and we have fun. We know he’s going to give us an opportunity to go make plays as a receiving corps. We know he’s going to be prepared to help us win the game.”

(The fact that you guys were taking some shots downfield as the game went on, do you see that more as a situational thing, because of the score? Or is that Matt’s thing?) – “It’s what the defense was giving us. They were putting a ton of guys in the box and challenging us to throw the ball down the field, so that’s what we did.”

(Are we going to see the face paint on Thursday?) – “I have no clue, honestly. We’ll see how I feel on Thursday. It’s one of those things (where) I woke up that day and it was what I wanted to do. I don’t know if it is tradition, but we’ll see.”

(Are you superstitious?) – “I am superstitious, but the face paint was a lot. I had a good time with it, but it’s just face paint.”

(When you say it was a lot, did it take a long time? What made it a lot?) – “My eyes were sore yesterday trying to get it off. It’s kind of too much for me. I’ve got tattoos. I’ve got everything going on. I don’t need all the extra attention.”

(Did you say your eyes were blurry?) – “No, they hurt after, like after the game, because I was trying to make sure I got everything off. All the extra attention was unnecessary. I don’t need it.”
