WR Tyreek Hill

(Other teams are trying to stop this offense. Two safeties deep from Buffalo, that wasn’t new. Is there an answer for everything defense can give you when you guys are executing correctly like two safeties deep, etc.?) – “I feel like nobody in this league can stop us except for ourselves. If we come out and don’t execute pre-snap, and we get penalties pre-snap, then we’re going to put ourselves behind the eight ball. Teams can run two-shell, play man-to-man, do whatever they want to, but I feel like we have a good enough unit to make plays. It doesn’t matter who’s getting the ball or what coach is calling. We have the dynamic playmakers to do anything that we need to do.”

(What’s it like around this week coming back from your first loss? How have guys responded?) – “Guys have been attacking it. Guys are working hard and competing against each other. It’s been fun. Nobody is panicking, nobody is doing anything crazy. Nothing different. I feel like the same is the same. I mean obviously you’re going to have a few guys in the building with a tight butthole, but they’ll be alright.”

(What have you guys learned from the Bills loss?) – “Well, I can’t speak on anybody else, I can only speak on myself. But I feel like as a leader, I have to be better for this team. Vocally better. I feel like as a young team going into a tough environment, it can be hard for young guys because they’ve never experienced a playoff kind of atmosphere. So yeah, just sharing that knowledge and giving them all the confidence I can and just helping them out along the way.”

(As far as pre-snap motions, noise wasn’t a factor the first two weeks. Was it you think last week? And how can that be countered by you guys in loud environments in the future?) – “It was definitely a factor. I’m not scared to say that. The Buffalo Bills, Bills Mafia, they definitely brought that 12th man energy. Ways that we can counter it is just create situations at practice. I feel like we’ve been doing that throughout training camp, throughout OTAs, and even now when we have crowd noises at practice. So it’s been very effective.”

(We heard crowd noise today, even though it’s a home game. Was that surprising to you that the crowd noise was out before a home game?) – “Nah, it’s not. You just never know what to expect.”

(When you’re watching RB De’Von Achane, have you ever watched him and said, ‘boy he might just be a little bit faster than me?’) – “I’ll never say that. Why would I say that?”

(RB De’Von Achane has the fastest time, the fastest clocked time right now.) – “What is it?”

(I don’t remember what it is.) – “His is 21.-what? And mine is 22.-what?”

(Okay.) – “There you go. Now we’re talking. Men lie, woman lie, but numbers don’t lie, do they? I’m just saying though. I’ve been doing this since what, 2016, baby. I’m the cheetah. I’m the fastest in the game and I’m the fastest in real life too though. I don’t be talking my – excuse my language – I don’t be talking my (expletive). But I’ll never let anybody take that crown from me. I’m going to hold onto that forever. De’Von Achane, he’s fast. But I’m 9.98 fast. I’m Triple Crown high school fast. Junior Olympic fast. I’m Mr. Us– no let me stop. (laughter) Don’t let me keep going. But De’Von’s fast though. I would say he’s like the third-fastest on this team, though. We’ve got another kid on the practice squad that’s pretty fast. Ethan Bonner.”

(CB Ethan Bonner?) – “He ran 22 (miles per hour) in camp. He had me like, ‘okay, this dude, okay.’ I may not call him out in a race.”
