Wide Receiver Malik Nabers
October 25, 2024
Q: How was it to get back out there on Sunday?
MALIK NABERS: It was good. It was good to get running around again and catch some passes.
Q: What did you see from the film and from your game?
MALIK NABERS: A lot of miscues. A lot of things that we cleaned up and practiced over the week. We feel better about that. We’ve just got to communicate more and stay on task. Third down, making explosive plays, when the ball is handed to you make some plays with it. That's really it.
Q: What's that like for you when there's a quarterback change mid-game? What happens for you, as a receiver, taken all these snaps with (quarterback) DJ (Daniel Jones)?
MALIK NABERS: We still know all our QBs. We all know how they throw the ball. But the main objective, even if a new QB comes in, whether we like it or not, whether DJ gets hurt, whether there's a change in events, you’ve still got to go out there and catch the ball.
Q: When you were saying repeatedly after the game, ‘I was open,’ what did you mean by that?
MALIK NABERS: That's something I said last week, last game. This is a new week. I don't want to talk about it.
Q: What do you make of the Pittsburgh defense?
MALIK NABERS: They’ve got a pretty good defense. They have (Steelers outside linebacker) T.J. Watt on the outside, he’s going to wreak havoc. They’ve got some good corners, long corners. They have a good guy in the secondary at the top, safety. They’ve got a lot of guys on their defense.
Q: Have you watched the film of your offense? Do you see opportunities to change the course of how it's gone in the last couple of weeks?
MALIK NABERS: Yeah, we’ve just got to stay on track and communicate. Like I said, stay off of third downs, create some explosives and help our defense hold them down. Our defense has been doing a great job. So, when we get back out on the field, we’ve got to give our defense a break. We’ve got to stay on the field a little bit longer instead of going three and out.
Q: Do you think not getting on the scoreboard early affects the game significantly for an offense?
MALIK NABERS: No. You can start off slow in the game, then in the fourth quarter, have three touchdowns and still win the game. You don't really have to put points up early. Every offense would like to put points up early, but that's not always the job of the game.
Q: Before your injury, we saw you getting like 12 to 15, an unsustainable pace, of targets. Did the Eagles do anything differently against you to take it away? Did they do something you expect to see a lot more of now that there's more film of you or to take you away so you can't get 15 targets again?
MALIK NABERS: That was the same question I got asked before the game, and I said what I said about it.
Q: I'm sorry. I wasn’t…
MALIK NABERS: If you don't know about it, you’ve got to go look it up. I said what I said about it. That was last week's game. We're working on a new week.
Q: What have you seen from Daniel this week?
MALIK NABERS: Same leader, same energetic guy. He continues to try to get us better and try to get himself better. Being that leader that he is. The same leader, same captain.
Q: What do you see from the Steelers' defense overall? Historically one of the best defenses in the NFL.
MALIK NABERS: They create turnovers well. They punch the ball out well. They're very energetic. They fly around.
MALIK NABERS: That's something I said last week, last game. This is a new week. I don't want to talk about it.
Shit stirrer put in his place.

They're all a bunch of gossipy shit-stirrers. People complain that Jones is a boring robotic interview but he's been coached just like Eli was to give nothing but bland safe team-positive answers that won't be used to manufacture drama for these vultures
Nabers attitude can easily be a negative one if things continue as they have been.

He spoke about shit QB play?

With a hell-hole team like the Giants, any player is trade-able. Any.
He's a rookie, and probably shared too much of his frustration. But he's mature enough to move on. That's a great, developing quality.
I’ve never seen any other media outlet in the country that tries to cause controversy and drama like NY media.

Yep. Completely agree
