1495 Sports is proud to bring these New York Jets quotes from 9/10/12.

 

 

Austin Howard:

 

On how he felt after watching film:

 

“Well, overall still happy to be sticking that (win).  We watched the film today and learned a lot.  Went over the positives, went over the negatives, and we’re going to be prepared this week just like we did last week, if not harder.”

 

On if it’s easier to point out the negatives after a win:

 

“It really comes to the point when you want to keep building on the win.  So the focus and the intensity of practice become arguably a little harder because you’re supposed to keep building on everything and continue to be more successful week in, week out.”

 

On how you build on the win:

 

“It’s just extra film work, extra work after practice. D’Brickashaw Ferguson has been taking all the tackles after practice and doing band work and stuff like that.  (There are) still extra things we can do to make sure that you’re prepared for the game.  Just watching the film and practicing at the high level you know how to.”

 

Nick Mangold:

 

On Austin Howard’s performance:

 

“I thought Austin did a fantastic job against a premier pass rusher, Mario (Williams). He did some good things out there, and some things that can obviously be worked on. He needs to take that performance that he had this past weekend into this week against a very good Pittsburgh defense. It’s going to be a heck of a challenge for us.”

 

On if Howard will stay level-headed going into the game against Pittsburgh:

 

“I would like to believe so. As an offensive lineman, everyone believes that you will stay level-headed. With the daunting task of a fantastic Pittsburgh defense coming up, I would expect him to stay level-headed.”

 

On the offensive line’s performance in the game:

“I thought we did some good things, especially in pass pro(tection). There’s plenty of stuff we need to correct in the run game. Overall, I thought it was a good first step for Week One.”
