Postgame – vs. N.Y. Jets

Miami Dolphins Tight End Dominique Jones (transcribed by David Norwood II)

(How did it feel to get the first career touchdown? – “It was nerve-wracking a little bit because they went to review again so I was like, ‘Man, they’re going to review it again.’ But it happened. It was a good feeling to get a touchdown finally.”

(Did you get to keep the ball?) – “I did. I think one of the equipment managers got it for me.”

(How would you describe the rollercoaster of emotions in this game?) – “That’s NFL football for you. You never know what’s going to happen. You just have to keep grinding, grinding, grinding. It’s not always perfect but we got the job done in the end. Now we’re 4-4 and on to Cali.”

Miami Dolphins Running Back Kenyan Drake (transcribed by David Norwood II)

(How you’re feeling now?) – “I’m just a little sick after that. Kind of had to run back and forth like from kickoff return, then kickoff, then punt. Just a little winded still, but hey that win makes it a lot better I guess.”

(Take us through the return, what happened when you caught the ball?) – “Jakeem [Grant] did a great job with the return beforehand. The return got called back because they were offsides and basically so it was like we got to make a play, have to run down the field again. They’re a little tired, come back down and they kicked off to me again, the little border kick. I couldn’t get around the edge. This time it was a better return. I tried to hit the seam as fast as possible. Front line did a good job double teaming. I didn’t get touched until I got to the kicker and I couldn’t let him tackle me so it was a great team win honestly.”

(What point did you feel like you had it?) –  “When I get into the end zone honestly, because I was trying to remember what my track coach told me – just pick those knees up and keep your form. I was kind of losing at the end but by the grace of God I was able to get into the end zone.”

Miami Dolphins Running Back Jay Ajayi (transcribed by David Norwood II)

(What was that sideline like when RB Kenyan Drake hit that hole and was gone?) – “Everyone was running down the sideline. I think I was trying to beat him to the end zone. I was so excited for him. That was huge for him to come up (and) make a big play for the team when we needed a crucial play, and he stepped up. So, kudos to Drake for that.”

(How difficult was it out there getting those yards against this Jets defense that came into the league number one against the run?) – “They showcased why they’re the number one rush defense today. (They) did a lot of good things and kind of getting good penetration here and there. But what we did on the sideline and talking with the o-line, we just kept it steady. We knew we were going against a good challenge today. All credit to what they were able to do – not letting us get to 200 (yards) and all that, but I still think we had a good game on the ground, still tried to create creases. The o-line still did a good job of pushing penetration, and we were able to finish the game strong with a good four minute and seal the game.”
