Postgame – Baltimore Ravens

Dolphins Head Coach Adam Gase (transcribed by the Baltimore Ravens)

(on how much physicality played in the outcome) “At the end of the day, they played 60 minutes a lot more physical than we did. We just didn’t match them right from the get-go.”

(on the two interceptions for touchdowns) “The one [C.J.] Mosley had was a good play by him. He was engaged in the line, jumped up, got it. Matt [Moore] got pressured on the second one, tried to go to one of his shorter routes, and Jimmy [Smith] sat on it.”

(on what surprises him most about tonight’s game) “Probably more about the offense. We’re just inept. We’re not doing anything right now. I’ll have to look at the film and kind of see where we’re going. When you play a game like that and get shut out again, you just have to start looking at if it’s one guy, multiple guys. It’s just one of those things, but we have to comb through it. We have a few days to do it, to try to reset everything. We just have to figure out what’s causing us to lose out on opportunities to give ourselves a chance to score points.”

(on if simplifying the offense made it a catch 22 – making it easier for the offense and defense) “Yes, 100 percent. That’s what it is; that’s what happens when you cut back like that. It becomes a little easier to defend. We have to start doing something right.”

(on the Kiko Alonso hit) “I didn’t see it. I just saw a melee of guys, and then just tried to figure out what happened.”

(on how much frustration he sensed) “That’s going to happen every once in awhile. It’s going to get chippy when it gets a little lopsided like that. We’re trying to keep everybody’s tempers down, but frustrations go up. We couldn’t score any points, and I’m sure the defense was frustrated. They had to keep coming out there after three-and-out, so we have to try to keep our composure better than we did tonight.”

(on his emotions at the moment) “For me right now, I’m just trying to figure out the reasons why we can’t sustain drives. You start looking at everything from ‘Are we calling the right things?,’ ‘Why can’t we get it third-and-manageable?,’ ‘Are we using the right people?’ It’s just one of those things where you have to go back, and we have to figure out what we can do to fix this.”

(on chances of Jay Cutler being available for Oakland) “I’m not 100 percent sure. Monday he ran with the team, and then he threw. He felt pretty good. I wasn’t going to put him out there tonight, and I think it was the smart thing to do. I know he’s tough, but I didn’t want to put him in a bad situation, basically, where he could get hurt worse.”

(on what was his message to the whole group) “We have to reset. We have to take this time off that we have, because this is really kind of our bye week and kind of re-focus our mind, get as healthy as we can, and when we come back, be ready to work. We have a lot of football left, and we’ve won enough games so far to at least put ourselves in a position where we get a chance to keep competing. We just have to find a way to get better. Right now, we’re so inconsistent. We’re up and down. Until we actually stack one good week on top of the other, it’s never going to be right. Right now, we’re just all over the place.”
