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.
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.
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.
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.

What's the occasion? ... Like I don't know.
We lost two great players who were part of a dominating front, ... Young players are going to determine the depth and quality of the kind of defensive team we're going to have.
We missed a couple of throws and had a couple of turnovers. . . We made some big plays on defense, which helped us. We just have to take advantage of the field position when we get it.
We missed a couple of throws and had a couple of turnovers and we need to get that corrected.
We have to do it, have success doing it, and then do it again,
