Postgame – at Chicago 

QB Jacoby Brissett

(So the touchdown to RB Salvon Ahmed, can you tell us what went into that play working?) – “It was a play that we practice a lot. I saw the coverage for him and threw him a ball to give him a chance. He made a great play and had a great time on it. I’m excited that he did that. He made a good play for us and scored.”

(There was a period there where you had five or so completions in a row. Did you personally feel like you were in a good rhythm today?) – “Yeah, for sure. We were running plays that obviously that I knew and that we had talked about. I had time and guys were getting open. A lot of those guys made plays. Like you said, I felt like I was getting into my rhythm so I was happy about that.”

(In your experience over the years, how long does it take before a quarterback and a set of receivers kind of sync up or feel like they know each other, like they have instincts for each other?) – “I think it’s an ongoing process, year in and year out, game in and game out, because every game is so different. You get put in different situations and you hope that within those situations you get to learn more about each other. Then when you go back and watch the film, you get on the same page and things like that. It’s a never ending process.”

(What are you enjoying about being a member of this team so far?) – “I love team. I love football. I love being in the locker room. I love competing. I love going out there and playing football. I think that’s just it. Getting an opportunity to play in the NFL is a huge dream of mine. It’s a huge honor so I don’t take it lightly.”

(Obviously you’ve been a lot of places but what does it mean to play at home or for your hometown?) – “It’s awesome. You get to feel that when I do go back home, my hometown, and you know all of those old guys that were longtime Dolphins fans and seeing those guys at stores. It’s been awesome. Knowing that it’s not too far from home, my family and my friends can come and see me play that haven’t had the opportunity to see me play and practice and stuff like that. It’s been good so far.”

(You grew up in South Florida. Was today a special feeling or do you think that the regular season debut will be your “Dolphins debut?”) – “(laughter) No, today was crazy. When I walked in and saw my jersey, I was like ‘wow!’ My first NFL game was the Patriots versus the Dolphins, that I ever went to in my life. Then I got drafted by the Patriots and now I’m playing for the Dolphins. It’s crazy to be on this side of it. Like I said, it was surreal when I walked in and saw my jersey with my name on it.”

(How do you feel like camp overall has gone?) – “It’s getting better. I think kind of like the mindset of coach always says we’re just taking it one day at a time, and really embracing that mindset coming to a new situation, a new offense, a new team, a new city, a new everything. Trying to find and navigate my way, while at the same time, being the guy that I am, being the man that I am, and trying to get better at being a better teammate, being a better player – whatever I can get better at and trying to do that. It’s been a one day at a time process but it’s been good.”

(Are you going to try to get a couple of friends or family members out to the joint practices at y’alls place?) – “Oh, for sure. A couple of my family members have come to practice so far. I’ll definitely try to get them down next week too.”
