Q: Did they talk to you about your time with the Jets when you were with Marty (Mornhinweg)?
A: No, not that I can remember. I wasn’t too focused on the offense when I was there. I don’t believe I would’ve been of any help.
Q: How much would a win mean for this team?
A: We lost three in a row. We really need a win for a lot of different reasons. Obviously a win would be great.
Q: Do you notice or pay attention to the Jets being in a similar struggle?
A: The guys around here, they do a good job of letting me know how the guys on the other side of town are doing. Yes, I would say that I’m in tune with what’s going on around the NFL.
Q: The guys in here?
A: I don’t want to get into details on it, but yes. JPP, Hankins, Victor Cruz, Odell, they do a pretty good job of reminding me how the Jets are doing.
Q: Do you find yourself rooting for them at all?
A: No comment. I have some really good friends on the team. I wish them the very best.
Q: You don’t think they would be better if you were there?
A: I’m here.
Q: (Marshal) Yanda is banged up. How much of a difference does that make?
A: He’s a great offensive lineman. He’s the key to their offensive line. Anytime you lose someone of his caliber, it’ll hurt them a little bit. They’re professionals over there though, so it’ll be the next guy up.
Q: The run defense wasn’t as strong last week. Do you feel that it was a blip and is something that you have to washout this week?
A: Definitely. It wasn’t anything but poor tackling. That’s all it was. A lot of those plays you could see we had him stopped behind the line of scrimmage. He was just able to bounce out and find holes. It’s all correctable so there’s nothing to worry about.
Q: How much do you see that their philosophy is being physical?
A: Historically they have always been a physical team. All the teams in their division pride themselves on being physical. These are the kind of games that you get hyped for. The offensive line is tough.
