Q: …with #10 today, or this week?
A: I don’t know, you tell me. I’m just going to go out there and play football. You’ll have to wait and see on Sunday.
Q: What do you think of him as a receiver?
A: He’s good, great hands, nice route runner. They love to target him a lot, so we will be ready.
Q: Are they easy to frustrate with a jam on the line of scrimmage?
A: Sometimes, but it depends on how they act, how they react. I don’t know, I just go there and do what I’ve got to do. Play football.
Q: There are good receivers but I would say this week in Week 3, these are better guys than you’ve played the first two weeks, I would say.
A: Yeah, you can say that. To me, everybody on the field is good. Treat everybody the same.
Q: (DeAndre Hopkins) is a guy that’s obviously a really good receiver but when people talk about the top guys, they don’t always mention him. How do you view it?
A: I just see he’s got great hands, great route runner, I won’t get into all that top-five and top-ten receivers and stuff. Just play football.
Q: He’s a talker?
A: This is my first time playing him. I don’t really know him like that.
Q: (Will Fuller), the main thing is speed?
A: Yeah. Deep guy, can stay on top. Just play football.
Q: Does (Deshaun Watson) like to attack downfield, vertically? It seems like whenever they get an opportunity-
A: Yeah, he attacks every opportunity he gets, he also likes to scramble, which we know. We’ve just got to stay focused and play football.
Q: Are you concerned about Eli Apple with the hamstring?
A: No, I’m not concerned. It’s part of football, and I’m the next man up.
Q: When two high-quality players go at each other, mano a mano for the first time, who usually has the edge?
A: You tell me. I don’t know.
Q: If you go up against a guy five or six or seven times, then it’s the guy who gets more familiar with the other, who studied him better and learned more. But if it’s the first time, is that more instinctive?
A: It’ll be a great battle. Playing off instincts and just what you see on films.
Q: How is he different than most guys you’ve faced?
A: Nice ball reader, judgment of the ball, got great hands, he’s okay with speed, route running ability is pretty nice. Just don’t let him get his hands on the ball, basically. Don’t let him touch it.
Q: How important is this game for you guys? You’re 0-2. 0-3 is a humongous hole. What kind of pressure do you look at it as?
A: One game at a time. We understand what we’re in, what we got ourselves in, and we feel like we’re way better than that, so we’re just going to come out and play football, and have fun.
