Postgame – Atlanta Falcons

Dolphins DE Cameron Wake (transcribed by the Atlanta Falcons)

On the win:
“It feels good. It is hard to rank them. Anytime you fight your way out of a hole and come out successful especially against a good team it definitely is going to be one that makes you feel good for a little while.” 

On the defense getting better each week:
“We always try to prove ourselves. Last week we knew we had some things to fix and coming into this game we made it about us. Outside of the locker room, we did not care about what everyone was saying. We were saying we had to believe in one another and go out there and do your job. The rest would take care of itself.” 

On how the defense played:
“We knew we had confidence in one another. And we just continued to keep playing and keep fighting and we had confidence in them since weeks ago and we knew when the time came they would get the job done. Last week they put points on the board and got the job done and this week did the same.” 

On what rallying to win says about this team:
“We’ve been saying it for forever, but again, it is not what anyone else says about us. I don’t care about what anyone else says about us, it’s about the guys to my left and my right. We came into halftime and we knew we were going to do whatever we had to in order to get this win. We had guys buckle down and make some adjustments and did the job. Again, who cares what people say about us? We believe in us, we are going to go out there and fight regardless of the situation, back against the wall or not. I think that is just how we are built.” 

On whether this can be the game that turns the season around:
“I think time will tell. We are going to enjoy this one but there are a few things we need to fix. We could have made this game a little different on the defensive side of the ball and hopefully, I can say that this is just another piece of evidence to say what we are capable of. Whether this is a year changing win or not, we will be able to look back at the end of the season and tell or not. Being 1-0 is our goal and we’ve done that so we will take this win back to Miami.” 

On getting pressure on Matt Ryan:
“I’d like to think playing together. Offensively they started to put some points on the board and then we forced situations to where they had to throw the ball and that’s where we thrive. Obviously, we have a great front seven and we are going to put the offense in a situation where they can’t just dink and dunk. If you try to hold the ball it is our job as a front to get there and make you pay. Offense, defense, special teams, I think we all just played together in the second half and that is just a product of all of our effort.”
