Q: How good was last week for the offense?
A: We got rolling pretty good at the end. Eli was getting us into great situations and we were going out there and making plays. We stepped up to the table to make those plays, so we’ve just got to build on that performance.
Q: Does it make a difference with having Hakeem healthy out there?
A: Yeah. He’s going to attract that attention and it’s going to leave the third receiver or whoever is in there a lot of single coverage and you have to take advantage of that and continue to make plays at that position.
Q: What do you think you learned from last year?
A: I just understand the offense now, the whole concept of everything. That lets me go out there and play a lot faster. The offseason also helped just going out there running all the plays and running all the routes in the different positions and getting the trust of the coaches. I’m just looking to build on those performances.
Q: When Hakeem gets double-teamed and you get single coverage, do your eyes light up?
A: Definitely. In the offense, whenever there’s single coverage, Eli looks to the single receiver side. We’ve got to continue to build on that performance and keep making plays for him so he can come at me more and more.
Q: Peyton threw for seven touchdowns and their offense seems to get a lot of hype. Do you guys feel like you can hang with anybody with the weapons you have here?
A: Yeah. We think that way, but we’re not really going into the game thinking that way. We just have to continue to do our job. We’re not going against Peyton. It’s just going to be our defense. So we’ve just got to come out there focused against their defense. That’s pretty much our main focus coming into this week, of how we are going to beat the opponent that we’re going to line up against.
Q: What do you present to the offense?
A: Whatever they need me to do. I don’t want to specify myself as one type of receiver. I just want to go out there and do it all. That’s why I continue to try to get better each and every day. Whenever they want me to go out there and do it, I try and do it.
