Defensive End Jason Pierre-Paul

October 5, 2017

Q: What happened to your shoulder?

A: A guy needs a break, a guy needs a break, you know what I’m saying? It’s just a simple break. That’s it. It’s something that I’m taking lightly. A sprained shoulder, but it’s okay.

Q: Were you playing well below 100 percent last week in Tampa? Was that something that happened during the game?

A: I guess during the game. Me personally, I don’t think I played my best game in Tampa. What I put on film wasn’t me. That will never happen again though.

Q: Did that have a lot to do with it or do you not think that’s an excuse?

A: Nah, this has been battling with me a long time ago. For a long time. It ain’t have nothing to do with it. I just know from my play, what I put on film in Tampa, it wasn’t me.

Q: What do you think you have to do better from analyzing the film?

A: A whole lot, a whole lot. To be honest, I am not playing my best ball. We haven’t won a game yet. So I got to step up big time and I’m pretty sure other guys are going to step up as well.

Q: How do you explain all of the missed tackles?

A: I can’t really explain that, man. You got to tackle. We’ve practiced it in practice and I guess that’s something that comes from within. I can’t really tell a guy how to tackle. You’re in the NFL, so you should be able to know how to tackle.

Q: Do you inted to play on Sunday?

A: Of course. I’ll play on Sunday, man. That’s no question.

Q: Spags (Steve Spagnuolo) told us that you guys had a player film review session. In your opinion, what good can come out of that?

A: I think a whole lot of good, man. We came in, we watched the tape, the coaches were in the room. A guy like me, I already know my mistakes. When I come in, I already know what mistakes I did and what needs to be corrected. So he just let the film run and all the guys were just talking. We were just looking at film and saying, “hey, I need to set the edge more, I need to make that tackle.” That’s why I’m back there, it shouldn’t go through a second level. And guys know what they did wrong. I think at this point we just need to come out and execute and win a game.

Q: Do you think a lot of guys were disappointed and surprised when they saw the film?

A: I mean, honestly, that’s a game we should have won. There’s a lot of close games that we should have won, but they outplayed us. They outplayed us, they outcoached us. You can say what you want, it’s on film. So we got to do a better job, starting with the players. We got to come together and be one. We’ve been preaching that all year starting through the OTA’s and preseason. Somewhere, somehow it got lost, but we got to gain that confidence back and go out and play because we are still in this thing. Anything can happen, man.

Q: Do you expect to practice Saturday?

A: Yeah, definitely expect to practice on Saturday and be playing Sunday. It’s not a secret. Everybody that knows me knows I’m going to play.

Q: Do you have to wear a harness or something?

A: I don’t have to wear anything, no. That’s what y’all been waiting for? That’s all of the questions you got for me?

Q: To get the confidence back on defense, do you have to get a critical fourth quarter stop?

A: Me personally, I don’t think other teams when they play the New York Giants, I don’t think they fear us. What we put on film is what we put on film and the only way to change that is going out and winning the game. Obviously, we’re both 0-4, but it is what it is. You just got to go out there and put what we need to put on film and starting this week.

Q: Does that fact that other teams don’t seem to be scared by you guys anger you?

A: Not necessarily. Like I said, what you put on film is what you put on film. We’ve been putting bad tackling on film. Offense and defense and special teams. I think everybody is in the right frame of mind that we need to go out there and we are desperate for a win. Once we win that game, everything will start rolling around because when you’re winning, you feel good. You feel good, you look good, you play good. That’s just a part of winning. I just think those wins will come in bunches, they’ll come in bunches. Right now, nobody is panicking in this locker room. We’re still capable of winning games and going out and playing our best ball. That’s what we’re going to do Sunday and we’re going to go out and play our best ball. Leave it all on the table. I’ll be out there flying around.
Considering all the times JPP is thrown under the bus

He seems pretty accountable for his poor play last week and overall.

He also seems to be pretty injured rather than a fat cat cashing in after a big pay day.
Last week?
