Postgame – vs. New England

Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh (transcribed by David Norwood II)

(What is it about the Patriots early in the game you just had a tough time stopping them? Next thing you know it’s a 20-0 lead you got a big hole to climb out.) – “Yes, they started fast. I think caught us off guard in a lot of aspects. Made plays, got into the end zone and we couldn’t figure a way to stop them.”

(Tough to get to him (Tom Brady) and get him to pull the ball down, seemed like he was in such timing and rhythm, and there’s really nothing you can do to get him off that early in that football game) – “Yes, a lot of quick short passes. They got their running game going from the standpoint of getting good yards on first and second down to make it where he didn’t have to drop back deep for the most part, and I think some penalties in there as well so we got to eliminate those and get prepared for next week.”

(A lot of talking going at the line of scrimmage seemed to escalate as the game went on. Then at the end it got pretty crazy out there what was going on there?) – “Guys are just children sometimes, but at the end of the day you take care of your business and continue to play as I did.”

(When you say they caught you off guard was there confusion out there among you guys or what specifically are you referring to?) – “I think it’s just we weren’t prepared in certain aspects so just like I said got to get prepared to go against them, simple as that – weren’t tackling or making plays.”

(Not a great day for the defense overall, how do you feel about the defense heading into next week against Pittsburgh?) – “I feel great about the defense. We been through a lot of tough times, a lot of good times and I think we’ve been in every single situation in this particular season so we got to be prepared for whoever we have and get ready to go.”

(What are your thoughts on this football team? It’s been a long time since this football team has been to a playoff game and has a chance to go to a playoff game next week. Is there something you can contribute to the guys in here that haven’t been to playoff games to get them to understand what’s at stake?) – “It’s one and done. The elevation of the height and sensitivity of the games will be through the roof. This is my third time in the playoffs and I just know the feeling going into particular games, very, very, intense so as you go and get ready for these games be prepared. The level of play definitely steps up.”
