Postgame – Philadelphia

Miami Dolphins DE Cameron Wake (transcribed by the Philadelphia Eagles)

On how he would assess the team’s readiness for the regular season with about two weeks to go:
“Well, we obviously have some things to work on. A little rusty, little rough around the edges, but I think tonight was a good test and I think it was a good indication. Like I said, we kind of have to buckle down Monday, or whenever we get back to work, and get to work on things that showed up in the game that we have to fix.”

On one specific thing that he knows the defensive unit can do better than what occurred tonight:
“Big plays, obviously. Communication, probably on a couple things. I know there was some communication issues with a couple things. But I don’t think anything dramatic. The effort was there, I think guys were playing hard. But like I said, the little details. I mean on defense, one play can kind of turn the whole tide. So it’s the little things we have to work on and make sure that we iron out to make sure when the regular season does come, we are ready to go.”

On if there was an adjustment period getting used to new Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Matt Burke or if it wasn’t an issue:
“I don’t think so. I mean, it would be different if he was a guy who came from Mars and we had never met him and, you know, he had a whole new plan and a whole new scheme and all that. But he was here with us last year [as Linebackers coach]. We are running pretty much the same defense that we were running last year. So I don’t think there is much of an adjustment. It’s getting on the same page and making sure that guys are working well together. Because like I said, defense is different than offense. Offense, you can play three quarters and have one good quarter and score four touchdowns, you win the game. Defense, you play 90 percent of the game great, have three bad plays, you lose. So you know, it’s all game long, every play, no matter what series it is. You can’t be up and down or back and forth.”
