Postgame – vs. San Francisco

Miami Dolphins DT Ndamukong Suh (transcribed by Armando Gonzalez)

(Can you take us through that last play? Obviously, it was due or die pretty much there, and you came from behind and made the tackle.) – “(It was a) pass play. (I) came inside, made an inside move, and (Colin Kaepernick) tried to escape and get up into the B gaps. I had to work back and try and eliminate that.”

(How difficult was it with QB Colin Kaepernick and his ability to run? It seemed like his ball fakes were really causing some problems early on. He was able to pick up the running game with 110 yards rushing. How tough is it to play against a quarterback that has that ability?) – “He’s a mobile quarterback. We know we have a tough job ahead of us whenever we have that. He likes to escape, likes to find the open gap – open window – and make plays with his feet or, obviously, find a throwing window to make plays. At the end of the day, I think we eliminated him from making points with using his feet, and we came out with the win.”

(You guys have been wearing shirts, t-shirts, that say ‘strain’ I believe on them. On that last play, did you strain to get to get to QB Colin Kaepernick to make sure that he didn’t get into the end zone?) – “We have to strain each and every play, find a way to make a play and get the job done.”

(How do you feel like the defense played overall in the second half?) – “I think we had a lot of plays, and at the end of the day, we have to find a way to get off the field quicker. Obviously, at the end of the day, we got our job done but there are ways we can clean it up and get more three-and-outs and get the ball back to our offense.”

(On that last play – QB Colin Kaepernick had been breaking contain all day – did you feel like it was going to happen again that he was just going to try to make something happen with his legs?) – “I just played what I saw. I had a one-on-one versus the guard, needed to beat him and then, obviously, get to the quarterback.”

(How rewarding is it making that play in the most critical time for this team?) – “At the end of the day, we don’t want him to score. We’re up by seven, we wanted to see the clock hit zero and obviously neither him having an the opportunity to run the ball nor pass the ball. That’s the way I look at it. We got the job done, got off the field. It’s not the cleanest or the best way to get it done, but we got it done.”
