Q: You have consistently throughout your career had some amazing catches. What do you believe makes you different from other players in how you’re able to make these plays?
A: Its all about playing the ball and being aggressive to it, and sometimes you can make the catches that aren’t always practiced.

Q: Is it really all in your hands? Or are there other important factors that aid in the ability to make these types of plays?
A: Its part of it because you have to have a lot of confidence in your hands, and trust you can use your hands to make tough catches

Q: What is your upper body workout routine?
A: I do a lot of shoulder work and a lil chest on various freestyle machines

Q: Do you workout any different for your “receiving” arm?
A: I don’t really a have a receiving arm I try to train them both equally to be able to catch with either hand.

Q: Do you find yourself protecting your catching arm when you sleep? Like maybe with the comfort of a custom-made feather pillow (j/k)?
A: No I’m actually a pretty wild sleeper and my arms are all over the place

Q: Okay, so maybe you don’t have a custom pillow (that you claim) but do you have any superstitions or must-haves before a game?
A: Yes the things that I do in the locker room before the game, stretching, getting taped ect… Are always in the same order.

2003
2006
2007
2008 = Correct Answer

Here’s a look at Lee’s September stats:

What were your thoughts on the Arizona game?
The Arizona game was a good lesson learned, that we have to come out of the gates a lot better because we were not able to make up for the mistakes made early in the game.

What do you think the team needs to improve on during the bye week?
During the bye week we have to just keep working and get everyone healthy.

What’s the advantage of a bye week? Are there disadvantages?
Advantages of the bye week are that we are able to get everyone healthy, and get some rest before taking on the rest of the season. There are no disadvantages to the bye week players always love them!

Does the practice schedule differ for a bye week? If so, how?
During the bye week you get a chance to work on some things that you don’t get to work on during a normal game because the focus is always on the game plan. It is also a chance to get some of the young guys some reps and see how they have developed.

How often do you watch other teams during a bye week? Is that your focus? Or do you just take the time to relax?
I won’t sit at home and watch every game but I will keep myself posted on what’s going on around the league. Its mainly about getting as much rest and relaxation as possible.

Should you decide to relax during this bye week, what do you like to do for fun?
I may go bowling or might try to swing the golf clubs for the first time since camp started. Other than that it’ll be movies and spending some time with my family.

A: My wife

How do you feel about being 4-0?
I’m very excited about 4-0 its a great feeling, the team is finding ways to win by coming together.

What do you think about your next opponent Arizona Cardinals?
The Cardinals are a very good and dangerous football team. The Jets put up a lot of points on them last week so we know their defense will come out and play a lot better against us.

What do you do to get ready each week for the game? Do you have a routine?
I do have a routine. I like to get to the locker room a couple of hours before the game, listen to my ipod which has my gameday music playlist on it, get stretched out, go over the gameplan one last time, then get ready to roll.

What’s your pre-game meal you always eat (just for fun)?
I usually eat fruit, eggs and breakfast potatoes, also get fluids
