There are times when we are getting an outstanding performance from the running back. There are times when we are getting a hat on a hat to finish a block. We just have to do it more consistently. ... It's just a matter of execution on a more consistent basis from the entire unit.
I think it's something we need to evaluate. It seems the entire preseason whichever quarterback played second has played best.
I know I speak for all of his teammates and the entire Dolphin organization in supporting him in any way we can in his future endeavors.
It's something that we need to continue to evaluate. It has seemed the entire pre-season, whichever quarterback played second has played best.
It's something we need to continue to evaluate. It seemed the entire pre-season whichever quarterback has played second has played best. It's the second week in a row we gave Gus the opportunity to start, and A.J. has come in and done a nice job in both of those games in the second half.
The entire defensive team made plays. We pressured just about every down, except for that screen pass. We knew we'd have to play them man to man. Their passing game is very well constructed and it's hard to execute zone against it. We thought that we would try to confuse their offensive line.
There are good players at every spot. Including 16.

When you have reached the pinnacle as a player of what you have always aspired for, what's your motivation? ... Some guys just work their tail off because they want to be good. It's important to them and their pride. Those guys have a better chance to succeed than the guy who did all of that to get here, and now all of a sudden the things that got him here don't seem to be important anymore.
When you go down and score the first time you have the ball, that sets the tempo for the game.
When other players think it's not acceptable by their peers how they go about what they do, they will change more readily. If they don't change then, then maybe they are the wrong guys.
We will establish a plan for it and I'm sure that he will make a commitment to the plan and do everything that he can to do it.
We would like to have all of our players here.
