WR Preston Williams

(Do you feel like you’re getting closer?) – “Yeah. We’re working every day. Just different situations, different ways we’ve been losing games, different reasons why; but I feel like we’re getting better.”

(I know there are no moral victories, but do you sense that things are different around here the last couple of weeks with the way things are trending?) – “Yeah, we’re definitely progressing. We’re getting better. We’re moving in the direction we want to move. (We’re) still trying to get that first victory, though.”

(The roster turned over a lot right before the season started. Does that, kind of looking back at the first few weeks, almost feel like sort of like the preseason again as you were all trying to get to know each other, know each other’s tendencies and stuff like that?) – “It’s business at the end of the day. Everybody is working for a situation like that. Somebody might go down, somebody might get traded or something. We just (need) to be ready when our number is called or anything.”

(You personally after the game said that you feel like you’ve gotten a lot better since the start of the year. Is there certain things that you can pinpoint that has changed a lot for you since you got here?) – “The number one thing is the game is slowing down for me. It was very fast the first couple of games. My mindset was just trying not to mess up and just trying to be perfect and more consistent. I’ve been more consistent. I just face different obstacles every week, just different ones. I’m just working on myself trying to be a better pro.”

(How much pride do you take in the number you’re posting?) – “I take pride in it, but it’s nothing without wins. Winning is number one on my list.”

(Drops were an issue for you particularly early on. As you kind of get used to the speed, does that kind of naturally clean up?) – “Yeah, the drops – I’m not known for dropping balls. The game is kind of fast. I’m just trying to get chemistry with both quarterbacks at the same time. You can see it’s getting better and everything is starting to mold.”

(How would you describe what QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has brought to the offense with what he has done the last five quarters?) – “Energy, great leadership and being a 15-year vet, just keeping everybody positive. We’re a young team and ‘Fitz’ is one of the only veterans here. He’s taking his wisdom and knowledge and spreading it over all of us. We need that.”

(How do you like watching QB Ryan Fitzpatrick lowering his right shoulder and plowing into the end zone?) – “’Fitz’ swears he’s a running back. I’ll let ‘Fitz’ do his little dual-threat stuff he’s got going. (laughter)We believe in ‘Fitz;’ we love ‘Fitz.’”

(QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has done it before, right? It’s not like it’s new.) – “Yeah. He’s a hard-nosed quarterback.”

(Obviously to lose is tough on everyone. What have you seen from Head Coach Brian Flores, especially lately, and how he has handled everything?) – “He’s real motivated and just keeping everybody together. He’s not letting the losing get to him. He’s still staying positive. He’s not giving up on anybody.”

(How important is that from your coach?) – “It’s real important from your head coach. Everybody is looking at him when stuff hits the fan or we’re going into the fire. He’s probably one of our biggest leaders on the team.”
