<strong>JAGUARS</strong> PLAYERS<br />

<strong>JAGUARS</strong> AT SAINTS<br />

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2015<br />

QB BLAKE BORTLES<br />

(on receivers) “It is great that all three of those guys (Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee)<br />

joined the team in the same class, and for us to get them rolling during the game. And it was great today<br />

to see Marqise (Lee) really step up and make plays for us. I felt all of those guys did a great job today.”<br />

(on Drew Brees) “I thought he was unbelievable. I think that’s what everyone has come to expect from<br />

Drew. He is a great quarterback who has played at a high level for a very long time and he had another<br />

great game today. We’ve got to stay on top of our game plan and pay attention more to detail,<br />

especially when you’re playing against a team like that, led by a guy like Drew. As an offense, you’ve got<br />

to keep them off the field and put up points, because he’s going to have a big game if you don’t.”<br />

“It’s really tough, in trying to play offense when you get behind like that and obviously do some different<br />

things play calling-wise as the game goes on. But even though that happened, I felt our guys did a great<br />

job – from a mentality standpoint and from a passion standpoint. We fought the entire game. Obviously,<br />

as a team, we didn’t play well in the first half, so we’ve got to find ways to start off faster.”<br />

WR ALLEN ROBINSON<br />

“I think in the first half our performance was just a lack of execution. I mean we had a couple of<br />

penalties that set us back and really hurt us. I mean we just stuck to our game plan as the game went<br />

on. It wasn’t like we had a revelation at halftime for us to play better in the second half. The plays you<br />

saw in the first half just didn’t get us going. We just have to find a way to come out better to start the<br />

game.”<br />

(On 90-yard touchdown reception) “Once I caught it, I had confidence in myself I could run it all the way<br />

to the end zone. It was a big play for us because it made the game closer at the time (to 31-19). As an<br />

offense, we approach each series knowing we can score every time. We want to score points, be it a<br />

field goal or touchdown – preferably a touchdown. I think the entire receiving corps is focused on<br />

helping the team move the ball down the field and score, and we’ve been able to do that all season.”<br />

DE RYAN DAVIS<br />

“Early on in the game the Saints broke open a lot of runs and that set things up for them for the pass.<br />

Then they (Saints) went deep, and in the first half they did whatever they could against us. We prepared<br />

for that, especially knowing we were facing Drew Brees. I know it looked like they picked us apart out<br />

there.”
