RB Malcolm Perry

(I was curious – how difficult or easy, I guess, is Offensive Coordinator Chan Gailey’s offense to pick up as a rookie? How much is your head swimming right now and how much of it is kind of straightforward?) – “I think it’s a good mix of everything you just said. It’s a different level than college obviously, so the attention to detail is much higher and I’m trying to catch on as fast as I can and hopefully it’s going well for me.”

(What has been the toughest part of making this transition? I know you had worked as a receiver earlier when you were preparing for the draft, but that you’re actually here doing it, what’s the biggest challenge?) – “Just like I said, the attention to detail. Seeing things after the ball is snapped, getting in the right spot and making sure I’m where I need to be to make the play successful. It’s just the little things right now. I’m trying to learn every day and learn from my mistakes and get better the next day.”

(Last time we talked, we went over your kind of daily schedule and daily routine that when you were at Navy. Now that you’ve been here at camp for a few weeks, I’m curious how would you say that experience at college prepared you for the daily grind of the NFL?) – “I’d like to say it helped a little bit. I think my days are just as busy but filled with football and not any military stuff; so it prepared me in the aspect of having a big workload, but it’s all football, so it’s a little better in that regard.”

(QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is obviously the unquestioned leader of this offense. Without him out there today, who took charge I guess and was it kind of difficult to keep it together?) – “As everybody likes to say in the NFL – any team, organization – it’s the next man up. We went out there, worked on what we needed to work on and felt like we had a pretty solid day at practice.”

(Two things – one, what was your reaction when you were told they wanted to try you in slot receiver? Were you excited? And then what NFL slot receivers have you studied on tape?) – “I was extremely excited. Any opportunity to touch the field at any position, I’m all for it. Just getting out there, learning from the guys on the team that play the same position – mirroring them, seeing what they’re doing, asking them questions and trying to learn everything from them, their mistakes, what they do right, stuff like that and try to use it to my advantage.”
