Postgame – at Seattle
Transcribed by the Seattle Seahawks

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Adam Gase (transcribed by the Seattle Seahawks)

(Your thoughts on the fourth down dropped pass…) “Obviously if we catch it, it’s a big play. One play does not make a game. The biggest thing that we talked about the entire week was that bad things happen. You have to move on to the next play. My thing was how are we going to respond to this adversity?”

(Thoughts on the Dolphins offense being slow starting…) “We’re playing a really good defense. It’s tough keeping the ball. They did a really good job of taking away a lot of the things that we prepared for. We have to make some adjustments within the game. With these guys it’s a tough game of cat and mouse. They were one step ahead of us early. Some of the things that we had schemed by didn’t have our players in the best position possible. We tried to get through the game and make some adjustments as the game went on.”

(Towards the end of the game, did you feel your team had a pretty good shot at winning the game…) “What we had talked about was let’s get to the fourth quarter and see what happens. We had a chance, we took the lead. We had opportunities a couple of times to see if we could finish it on our terms. That’s what happens when you play good teams, it’s going to come down to probably the last drive of the game. It did and we came out on the wrong end this time.”

(Any second thoughts on going for it on fourth and inches…) “I’m going to do it a lot. That’s how were going to play.”

(Any thoughts on the Seahawks last drive…) “I thought our defense did a great job. To have us in the position we were in. I was more irritated that we couldn’t help them on the other side of the ball. We couldn’t get anything going. I kept watching those guys go out. I just knew we have to get something going because if we keep going three-and-out or four or five plays on the drive, it’s tough to put them in a bad situation on the other side of the ball, having that last drive to go down a score a touchdown. That’s what they needed there, a little bit of a rest so that we could compete on that last drive.”

(What did you say to your football team after the game…) “We can’t let one loss become two. We have 24 hours to feel sorry for yourself. Do whatever you want to do but we have to go on to the next opponent. We have to go on the road again. We have to get back to work.”

(What does that long touchdown drive by Tannehill in the fourth quarter say about him…) “Just the fact he went out there. Every time we come off a series, it what’s do we have to do now? The one thing that is big for us this being our first go as a group. Let’s not be the group that is white fingers and complaining about something that happened. Let’s be the group that’s finding solutions on the sideline. I felt like that’s exactly what that group was doing. Things weren’t going our way but they just kept coming back, what’s next, what should we go to, should we change up? They were trying to find solutions.”

(You had four players salute during the national anthem. What did you know about that beforehand…) ”I didn’t know exactly what they were going to do. I knew that Arian (Foster) wanted to talk to the group. They had a discussion. We said were not sure if we’re going to do anything. If we do, do something, we’re not looking to do anything disrespectful. There’s nothing I’m able to say one way or the other because it a person’s opinion, it’s their right. My job is to coach the football team.”

(On Seattle’s last drive, do they do anything different then what was expected…) “No, they just made some good plays. There were sometimes where we had some tight coverage. That’s what happens when you play a good team and a quarterback that is a franchise guy. That’s what he gets paid to do. He gets paid to figure out a way to make it work in the end.”

(What happened on the missed field goal…) “Just talking to (Darren) Rizzi, we had some leakage there. We will have to go back and figure out what the exact problem was. It’s unfortunate that it happened at that time in the game. Like I said earlier, we have to move on and figure out a way to put points on the board.”

(Do you have an update on Mario Williams…) “No, I have nothing right now. I have to talk to the trainers.”

(Thoughts on your defense…) “The whole defense did a great job. It’s not an easy scheme to go against. That’s a good group of players. Obviously there are a lot people who think that team is going to be one of the final teams this season. We’re playing a very tough team. Our defense did a great job, especially the d-line.
