Detroit Lions: Jim Caldwell, Players Talk About Loss to Bengals
By Zac Snyder
Marvin Jones
On what has validated his decision to join the Lions: “It was something that was very intriguing to me. Obviously, they showed a lot of interest and that was good.”
On what experiences so far in Detroit have validated his decision: “I mean, I love it here. Obviously, the family is settled in. It’s a great place and I’m having fun so far.”
On if there was anything special about playing his former team: “It was just fun to see them. Like you said, it is preseason, probably had it been the regular season it would have probably meant more just with the extensive playing time, but it was good to see them and good to play against them. We’ve been banging it out since I came in in 2012, so it was good to see those guys.”
On the chemistry with QB Matthew Stafford: “It’s good, you know, us as wide receivers we’ve had a lot of repetition with the quarterbacks, so it’s been good. You know, obviously it’s still a process and there’s still a lot more in there, a long way to go, but it’s going in the right direction. Between the receivers and quarterbacks, that’s what we do. We go out there and we see everything through the same eyes, in the film room and stuff like that, and you know it translates.”
On if he senses the magnitude of potential on offense for this season: “Definitely. Like I said from the beginning, the potential is out of this world for this offense and the players that we have. We have so many players that can do different things, do the same things and just add that element that we need to drive down the field, to make those big plays and be successful. So yeah, I definitely still see that and we just have to capitalize on all of our opportunities in all phases and stuff like that and we’ll be good.”
