Postgame – Las Vegas

 QB Skylar Thompson (transcribed by Cade Tjomsland)

(You built off your performance against Tampa… Have the coaches noticed you – that maybe if they keep three quarterbacks, that you belong on that list?) – “That decision is out of my control. All I can do is focus on being the best teammate that I can possibly be every day, continue to grow and try to learn and get better. That’s really all I’m focused on right now, and everything else I know will take care of itself whichever way that may fold. This is out of my hands. I’m just here to be a good teammate – help the team the most whichever way I can.”

(What about WR Erik Ezukanma – the camp he’s had and your connection with him?) – “I came in with Erik, so we spent a lot of time together – learning the playbook and all that stuff when we first came in here. Really, we hit it off from the get-go in rookie minicamp. Erik’s always been my guy, so when the clock’s ticking and it’s time to go, I’m going to go to my guys that I trust and who are doing a good job, and he’s been doing a great job. All the guys out there with me tonight were making plays, doing the right thing, making plays for me. It makes my job a lot easier when I’ve got guys that go out there and do that. It’s up to Erik, Lynn (Bowden Jr.), Preston (Williams) and all these guys, too.”

(Did you learn anything this week, from opposed to starting, coming off the bench, (and) being able to watch a little bit from the sidelines?) – “It was definitely different. It’s hard to really simulate. You’ve got to kind of learn as you go. I just try to stay loose, stay warm, stay engaged in the game, and prepare like I’m going to be the starter again. Literally, nothing really changed at all other than that I actually did it, but my preparation and everything leading up to it was the same as it was last week.”
