Head Coach Bruce Arians
(Opening statement)
"Jack Cichy and Breshad Perriman – they'll both be out [on Sunday]. Demar Dotson, I held out today, but everybody else will be game time decisions. [It was a] really, really good week of work. Practices were fast, like they should be, and [I'm] looking forward to seeing us play."
(On what he saw out of ILB Devin White this week)
"Devin moved around really well. Right now, we'll see what the plan is come Sunday."
(On what he saw out of DL Vita Vea this week)
"Vita's moving around fine."
(On Devin White's conditioning)
"That's not a problem. He's in good shape."
(On how important it will be to score on the first drive)
"Yeah, that's always huge. Get up first to get the crowd down. But yeah, I think as a play caller, that's one of the things you take pride in, and Byron [Leftwich] has done a heck of a job with that drive the last couple weeks and Jameis [Winston] has been spot on. So, getting off to a fast start – touchdowns will be premiums in this game because field goals aren't going to get it done."
(On the opportunity young receivers will have with WR Breshad Perriman out)
"Yeah, Bobo [Wilson] and Scotty [Miller] will split those duties, and I'm looking forward to seeing Scotty play. He had a chance last week to have a big play and Bobo's been real solid."
(On if there were any particular blocks by WR Chris Godwin last week that impressed him)
"Oh gosh, yeah – there's been so many. Just about every time we run the ball, he's at the point of attack, either blocking a safety, linebacker or somebody. All the receivers – Mike [Evans] is an excellent blocker too, so when your top two guys block, the rest of them have to."
(On Godwin's block on a 27-yard run by RB Ronald Jones II in the fourth quarter)
"Yeah, [it was a] great effort downfield. If you're going to get long runs, your wide receivers are blocking."
