Postgame – Oakland Raiders

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas (transcribed by Alex Onaindia)

(You seemed to have an offensive rhythm out there.) – “Yeah, it was a tough loss. We had a good team at home and they edged us out in the end. We were able to do some good things offensively but we’ve got to continue to cut back on turnovers. It’s just stalling a lot of our drives and really keeping us from putting more points on the board.”

(Eleven penalties tonight. How do you win when you have that kind of number on the board?) – “It’s tough. It’s really tough to beat a good team when you hurt yourself. That’s something that we have to address as a team. Eleven penalties is too much. We work too hard every day, every week, to go out there and make it even harder on us to win a game. Half of the season is done and the second half of the season we really have to come out and play more disciplined football.”

(The way that Jay played tonight considering his rib injury, what are your thoughts on it?) – “I think that you are seeing our offense is continuing to grow. We talked about some of the obstacles we’ve had and trying to get that chemistry and grow as an offense. We’re showing each and every week that we’re able to have spurts where we’re doing the things we want to do but it is going to take continued work. That’s something that we have to keep getting after. Jay played really well tonight. We have just got to continue building on what we did do well.”

(After the shakeup that occurred in this locker room this week, what was the thought process going into the game for this offense and do you guys feel like you played up to the level you were anticipating?) – “The thought process for this offense is to continue to do what we have to do to put points on the board. I’m not sure how many points that we scored today but we scored more than we did the week before. We’re going to have to continue to find ways to score more points just so that offensively, we can do our part.”
