Postgame – vs. Cleveland

Miami Dolphins DT Ndamukong Suh (transcribed by Sara Perez)

(Nobody seems happy that you won the first game. How do you feel?)  — “It’s a terrible way to win, but we’ll take it, for sure. We didn’t play as well as I’d hope, especially on the defensive side of the ball. We knew what they were going to do. But at the end of the day, we’re going to take a win. We, in essence, earned it. (We) made it very, very tough for ourselves (and) kind of go from there.”

(What was it they were able to do – running the football in particular – to move the ball and pick up first downs?) – “They had a good scheme. (They were) moving us – as defensive tackles – moving us around and taking me out of the three technique, putting me in the two technique, putting our other defensive tackles in three (technique), really getting to our edges at some points in time. But at the end of the day, I have to go back and look at the film and see what we have from there.”

(It looks like the outside run support getting up the field kind of turned things in, seems to be a soft corner out there, what will you see when you watch tapes?) “I’d have to go back and look for this particular game, but we’ve had some issues on the edge, and that’s all-in-all good scheme as well as us missing tackles at the same time. We’re not doing exactly what we need to get done.”

(When the field goal goes wide at the end of the fourth quarter what was your reaction?) “Obviously, you have to buckle up and get to OT.”

(WR Terrelle Pryor, what he was able to do coming in doing both at quarterback position and receiver – and however he got the football – he seemed to be able to do something every time he had the ball.) “Yes, he’s a dynamic athlete. Whether he’s playing quarterback, or he’s playing wide receiver, he’s obviously effective. Obviously, (he is) a good threat for them, someone we knew going into the game that we were going to have to take care of. We didn’t do the best job, but I think we did a good enough job to get ourselves a win and go from there.”

(What do you as a defense need to do to get consistently where you want to be?) “I think execution. I think as we get more into a groove of understanding how everybody fits into where they need to in a particular defense, and we start executing at a very, very high level, we will be successful.”
