Quotes from Monday's training camp:

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick
(on what the film showed) “It was, again, a disappointing performance. I thought we ran the ball well and did some good things up front, but a lot of things, the pass game starts with me, in terms of stuff we can get better at, but that’s the best way to do it, come out today, get a good practice in, get some sweat, and competitive plays out here on the field.”

(on the unfamiliarity with plays in the first preseason game) “The good thing about it is it was the first preseason game, so we’ll sit there and learn from it, but we’ve already moved on, moved forward, we made some corrections in our walkthroughs, and we’re looking forward to the next one now.”

(on being surprised by poor performance) “You never with the preseason, how it’s going to go, especially the first time out or anything, but we would have hoped to have a better showing.”

(on taking a step forward by bringing tape lessons onto field today in practice) “Yeah, it was a good day to slow it down and to look at what we did wrong and why and really get to those answers to those questions and move on from it. This whole thing is a work in progress; it’s a process where we’re kind of moving along and we’ll continue to get better and hopefully that shows leading up to the season.”

(on if a tough game like that plays with his confidence) “No I don’t think you can let it play with your confidence at all. You’ve just got to take it for what it was, learn from it, and move on. For me, that’s what I’m going to do. It was the first one, I’m disappointed, but we already moved on and we’re out here practicing, trying to get better.”.................

CB Kareem Jackson
(on mood after the game) “My mood didn’t change any. It’s a simple fact: we didn’t do what we’ve been working on all camp. Defensively, we didn’t get off of the field on third down, we made some fundamental errors, and we didn’t execute.”

(on mistakes being more mental than physical) “I think more mental and somewhat physical, but that’s just all what it boils down to. We’ve just got to go out and do what we’ve been practicing all week.”

(on the rule changes affecting a defensive backs’ game) “No, as a player, you’ve just got to go out and play, you can’t think about the rules every play. You’ve just got to go and play, if they’re going to throw the flags, they’re going to throw them. You can’t sit and think about that every play and not put your hands on receivers. You just have to go out and play.”...................

G/T Xavier Su’a-Filo
(on what coaches said they liked that he did and didn’t like) “We haven’t really talked about it yet but there are some good and bad things. I think overall we wish the outcome would have been different but I can only control what I do and make sure I’m doing my job for the offensive line and for the offense, so that’s about it.”

(on what he would like to improve going into this week) “Keying in on specific details just making sure I’m that much more focused and tuned in on each play. In the NFL, there are a lot of different things that you can’t get away with in the league and people catch you or body language looks different kind of things that you really have to be in tune because it’s the NFL and good players want to play against good people.”

(on when he realized he could play in the NFL) “Yeah, it was awesome. I really just tried to come out and treat it like another day of practice but obviously it was a game and got to go execute. I just wanted to try to execute the best that I could and earn the respect of my teammates.”
