WIDE RECEIVER BRANDON MARSHALL

On his general mindset offensively following the bye week

“Basically we want to just get back on track and do the little things the right way.”

On receiving more attention from opposing defenses

“It is definitely frustrating when you are used to getting the ball nine or 10 times a game. That is part of the process of being an elite receiver. It is alright because we have (WR) Eddie (Royal) on the other side who is able to catch nine or 10 balls and keep the chains moving. We are fine.”

On if it is helpful having guys back from injury

“Absolutely. You take guys like (TE) Tony Scheffler and (WR) Brandon Stokley out of the game plan, it is tough. Those are big pieces to our puzzle.”

On turnovers

“I am still carrying the ball around in between team periods and practice. That is what it is about, ball security and we need to continue trying to protect the football.”

On this being an important game

“Yeah of course. We have been losing lately, we want to get back on that winning streak and get onto the right track. Everybody needs to look into the mirror first before they start pointing fingers.”

On being in good shape in the AFC West

“We control our own destiny. There is still a lot of football to be played, we are not even half way through the season. We have one more game before we are at eight.”

On the difference in Miami’s play from last year to this year

“I don’t know. I didn’t watch them last year and this is my first week watching them this year. It seems like they have a little swagger about themselves. Whenever you are losing you kind of put your head down and you are not motivated. It seems like they are upbeat and they are getting it done.”

On getting teams out of double covering him

“There are certain things that we can do. Like if they want to go Cover-2 to stop our passing game then we should be able to run the ball to get them out of that Cover-2. It is imperative to get our running game going week in and week out. If they want to double me, that is fine because we have other guys like (WR) Brandon Stokley and (WR) Eddie Royal. They can get the job done as well. We all do some things differently but in the end we are all playmakers.”

On his impressions of RB Ryan Torain

“Really good. He is tough and explosive. All of our running backs are play makers. Look at guys like Selvin Young, Michael Pittman and Andre Hall. They do things different, but they are all playmakers in their own way. He (Torain) is definitely a piece to the puzzle and this week we will see how big of a piece he is.”
