Postgame – San Francisco

WR Preston Williams

(I just wanted to ask about the difference in your game when QB Ryan Fitzpatrick brought it up – you guys are aggressive when it comes to throwing the ball downfield?)– “It starts at practice really. In practice we took a lot of shots. We were just preaching that we were going to do that. You don’t know who the shot might go to, it might go to DeVante (Parker). It might go to Jakeem (Grant). It might go to anybody. And if your number is called you just try to make the play. The approach doesn’t really change. Whatever we practice during the week we just try to execute it.”

(A career high for you in receiving yards. Is it fair to say you’re feeling pretty good physically from where you were earlier in the year?) – “Yeah, definitely. I’m getting closer to that year mark with my knee. I’m starting to get more comfortable out there. It’s been almost probably like a couple  years since I actually ran a route the first game of the season. Just getting my football feet back under me.”

(You talk about that year mark. I know you don’t like to make excuses. But, does this feel like something that can push you closer to where you want to be given the first month probably didn’t go as well as you wanted it to go.) – “Like I said, just trying to get back into that football shape and get my feet back under me. That’s just most of the thing. I know a lot earlier in the year I was falling off some routes. Now I’m starting to feel better every week.”

(How early in the game could you tell that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was on today?) – “Pregame. (laughter) He was piped up really. The whole day – flight, really even. ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) is always ready. He comes ready to play every week. I know ‘Fitz’ is going to come ready to play. Like I said he’s always that energy out there on the offense, so we feed off that.”

(I was going to ask you about QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Last week he left feeling pretty down about his performance. What did you see from him today? What did your quarterback show you today? – “We just executed better this game than we did last game. Turning those field goals into touchdowns; that was probably the most big thing. We were getting down there. We were scoring points. We just weren’t getting seven. This week we preached that we needed to finish those drives and get seven points.”

(At 2-3 now you guys certainly have your whole season ahead of you. Your point differential has much improved. Do you feel how much better this team is this than you guys were this time last year and how it’s trending the right way?) – “No. I feel like we’ve always had the talent and the players. We just had to execute. That’s all it was. We just weren’t executing last year or this year. Now we’re just trying to figure it out.”
