WR Preston Williams
(How tough has it been, not only dealing with the foot but I know the team listed you with a knee injury last week. Did that bother you at all in the game? How are you feeling?) – “I felt pretty good. I just went out there. It felt real good just being back out there with the guys. On game day, nothing hurts.”
(What’s the secret sauce for putting a game like that behind you and getting onto the next opponent? In your experience, what’s the best way to make that happen?) – “It’s a long season. We’re early in the season. Just put that behind us and get ready for next week. Just make the corrections, watch film and that’s it.”
(We heard from Head Coach Brian Flores that WR Will Fuller was back around team facilities today. How do you guys as teammates support a guy who is going through a personal issue right now?) – “That’s our brother. We always deal with it. He’s like family, you know. If he’s got issues going on, we are with him all the way. We are just glad he’s back in the building and he’s doing better.”
(We all remember how you got off to your NFL career a couple of years ago and how hot you were then. Where are you physically now compared to then?) – “I feel good physically and like I said, when we put pads on and we’re on the field, I don’t feel anything. I’m definitely over that foot. I’m just happy to be back out here.”

DT Zach Sieler
(Obviously you never want to begin the game with big runs but how much does that get into the mindset of the team’s run defense each week since it’s happened the past two weeks?) – “Yeah, obviously we don’t want to let that happen. We want to start fast, make the corrections and get it fixed so it doesn’t happen again later in the game.”
(What’s the mindset of the team coming off that big loss to Buffalo? Obviously, you wanted to play better but what issues do you see?) – “They’re a really good team. We have a lot to correct. We’ve got to make the corrections and then move on to Las Vegas. Make the corrections and get them right.”

Head Coach Brian Flores
(A couple of things, the league-owned TV network said today that the extent of QB Tua Tagovailoa’s health issue is bruised ribs. He has nothing worse than that. I just wanted to ask you if that’s correct. And also, has WR Will Fuller returned to the building today?) – “Yeah, Tua obviously went out of the game yesterday. We’re still running some tests. He was in a lot of pain yesterday. He’s still in a good deal of pain today. But I think we’ll call him day-to-day right now. As far as Will, Will was here today and we expect him here this week as well.”
(I wanted to ask you, after watching the film of yesterday’s game and evaluating the offensive line as a whole, are you contemplating any changes to the line, whether that is internal or external?) – “I don’t think we did really anything well yesterday – offensively, defensively or in the kicking game. We’ve got a lot of things that we need to improve on. Specific to the O-line, I think it was communication, it was fundamentals and techniques that were an issue. We’ve got to play a lot better on the offensive line and really across the board offensively and as a team. That starts with me. We’ll do a better job of getting them prepared and ready to play. And yes, we’ll take a look at personnel and see if we need to make any changes to play better than we did yesterday.”
(In terms of a lot of those blitzes that were coming from the edge, how responsible were the tight ends and the backs in those situations. And also, what were the receivers’ roles in terms of their hot routes?) – “We’d have to talk specifically on some specific plays but there were some hots and sight adjusts that we didn’t throw that we should have thrown. There were some missed IDs and missed communication on the offensive line between the center and the quarterback, and we have to get that better. We have to get that right. We have to get that corrected. There were also some technique and fundamental issues. You mentioned the tight ends. We’d have to talk specifically about a specific play, but there were some instances where they were in protection as well. We’ve got to do a better job, really, at all positions. Sights, sight adjusts and hots, like you mentioned that’s part of it. Identification – they don’t make it easy. Nobody makes it easy. But we have to be able to see it, recognize it, make the right ID and get it blocked.”
(You’ve seen QB Tua Tagovailoa go through a lot in his first two seasons, just physically coming back from the hip and some of the other injuries. What can you tell me about his toughness that you’ve seen, if it is a question of pain management in his ability to come back. What kind of toughness does Tua have?) – “He’s a tough kid. I would say he’s a very tough kid. Whether it’s the – just coming back from the hip. I think he had a thumb (injury) last year that he played through. He tried to go yesterday. Toughness isn’t something that we question with him. He’s going to do everything he can to get back as soon as he can. I have a lot of confidence in that. No, he’s a tough kid for sure.”
(I’m wondering if you could educate me a little bit on the subject of flak jackets. I know a lot of times when quarterbacks have rib injuries, they wear flak jackets. Is that a possibility for QB Tua Tagovailoa? I have no idea whether these things are custom-made and they take forever to make or whether you’re exploring that option.) – “I think that’s something we would look into. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of familiarity with flak jackets. I think sometimes it’s personal preference for some guys who have dealt with some rib-type of injuries. Some guys just like to wear them for an extra layer of protection. I think that’s definitely something we would look into. Yeah, I think we’d look into it.”
(I wanted to ask you about the second half yesterday. It seemed like after having a rough start, you were still pretty much in the game at halftime. Why wasn’t your team able to step up in the second half and just continue to compete as Buffalo – was it Buffalo stepping up a little bit or was it you guys not making the adjustments?) – “We just didn’t play well. I thought we just didn’t play well. They’re a good team. I think we need to give them credit. They did a lot of good things yesterday. We simply just – whether it was communication or whether it was technique, fundamentals, we didn’t execute the way we needed to. We had some opportunities early. We didn’t take advantage of them and it kind of snowballed on us.”
(How much does the O-line, what they’re dealing with, impact how you deal with QB Tua Tagovailoa this week? Coming back with ribs, obviously that’s not an injury you want to get hit with a lot.) – “I think we’re making the corrections, really, at all positions. I don’t think we go into it thinking, ‘Hey, we need…’ We go into it every game thinking we are going to get the quarterback protected. That’s always a point of emphasis. Obviously, we didn’t do that yesterday so we will make some adjustments to make sure that gets done. That’s not going to be part of it. If Tua can go, he’s going to go. That’s the kind of kid he is.”
(I wanted to ask for quick updates on the team running tests on G/T Jesse Davis and WR Jakeem Grant Sr. Do you have any updates on how they are feeling and when you expect them to practice this week?) – “Still running tests but the early indications are promising, I would say, initially. I’m hopeful to see them out there on Wednesday. Nothing to too serious with either guy.”
(You kind of answered this a moment ago when you said if QB Tua Tagovailoa can go, he’ll go. Because it’s your quarterback, because it’s his left side, his throwing side and the side that theoretically would be more exposed and knowing that the player is almost always going to say, ‘I’m good, I’m going to play,’ how much stock will you put into what his voice says this week? Or because this is such a sensitive area for a guy, do you almost have to protect him from himself a little bit too?) – “I think that’s part of our conversations. As coaches, that’s part of our responsibility is to not put the player in a position – to protect the player from himself like you mentioned. That’s always part of the conversation and part of our process, and knowing that if he’s out there, then we feel comfortable with him out there. That’s the approach we will always take.”
(S Eric Rowe seeing less snaps, S Brandon Jones and S Jevon Holland saw the field more. I know some of it might be packages but certainly it ate into Rowe’s playing time. What went into those decisions?) – “Like you mentioned, there are different defensive packages we come up with on a weekly basis. Just trying to get what we feel is the best group for a particular opponent and that’s the way we went yesterday. Rowe is obviously a big part of our defense, he’s played well. We played a little bit differently yesterday. I thought Brandon played well, I thought Jevon played well and I thought (Jason) McCourty did some good things. It could be very different this week, we’ll see.”
(l wanted to get your opinion on T Austin Jackson. Obviously, he missed the first game with COVID. I don’t know if there was rust involved – obviously everybody struggled, where us Austin performance-wise and mentally?) – “He’s got to play better. I think that’s, I can’t put it any plainer or simpler. He’s got to play better and he’s not alone. We’ve got to play better at a lot of positions. We’ve got to coach it better. We’ll do that. I think that this is a resilient team. We are going to turn the page to the Raiders after we go get done with these corrections. Turn the page, make the corrections, get back out to practice Wednesday, have a good week of preparation and give ourselves an opportunity to have success a week from now.”

G/T Robert Hunt (transcribed by ASAP Sports)
Q: What’s the emotions with the guys in the locker room after a game like this?
ROBERT HUNT: Probably exactly what you can imagine. Like we have to be better. As a whole team, that’s why we are going to come back tomorrow, focus on what we have to focus on and get better.
Q: How much responsibility do you put on this loss as an offensive line?
ROBERT HUNT: It was a rough day for us. Everybody saw that. We just have to, like I said, come back tomorrow, be better, man. Put pressure on ourselves, put this loss on us, because it is what it is. We know we need to be better. We know we have to have some issues. We’ll come back and we’ll work to correct those issues.
Q: It seems like they were sending a lot of blitzes to you guys early. Did any surprise you with maybe the type of pressure they sent?
ROBERT HUNT: I can’t say it surprised me. We did our film study, stuff like that. It was a rough day for the Dolphins, you know what I mean? That happens sometime. We’ll go watch film tomorrow, see what we (expletive) up at, come back and try to be better.
Q: What was the team feeling when you saw QB Tua Tagovailoa go down?
ROBERT HUNT: It was a tough feeling. You never want to see any of your teammates go down, you know what I mean? Hopefully Tua is all right. I’ll reach out to him when we get done. You never want to see any of your teammates go down.
Q: How long does it take guys in the O-line to mesh so they can work as one unit?
ROBERT HUNT: I want to say, I mean, it doesn’t really take time. You have to work with the guys, trust the guys next to you. We’re a young line, trying to improve. That’s no excuse. We can’t keep saying that (expletive). We working to be better, we will be better.
Q: What is the communication like for you guys up front? It seemed like there might have been some times where pressure should have been slid one way or the other and it may not have happened?
ROBERT HUNT: I mean, communication is communication. Once we get the communication, we try to go the right way. It didn’t happen as well today. We’ll watch the film, try to correct it.

CB Xavien Howard (transcribed by ASAP Sports)
(Can you talk about going up against Bills WR Stefon Diggs – you got him, he got you, just facing off against a receiver like that?) – “It was good. I look for the matchup every week. Obviously his team did a good job. They won.”
(What’s the mood in the locker room after a loss like this?) – “Like a funeral.”
(What was that little interaction between you and Bills WR Stefon Diggs at the end of the game?) – “It’s football. We respect each other. After the game he was like, good job, stuff like that. But just a lot of respect.”
(What happened on the touchdown catch? It looked like he lost his footing and you lost a shoe?) – “Yeah, I think he had fell. Josh Allen being Josh Allen and scrambling. That’s what he does. We were looking forward to him scrambling and throw the ball, so he did that.”
(It seems like despite Tua going down and the early 46-yard touchdown run you guys were able to get some stops and get some turnovers. What happened in the second half where they were able to drive down and start to really convert the drives into touchdowns?) – “I feel like we didn’t win in all three phases. We just got to get better each day. Take it one game at a time. Learn what we did, what we messed up in this game and move on.”
(Where is this team’s level of confidence in Jacob in term of him being able to lead you to victories?) – “We’re very confident in Jacoby, man. We’re talking trash at practice, me and Jacoby. It’s the next man up mentality. Whatever he leads us through, we’re going to do it.”
(Are you surprised the way you played today?) – “No, not surprised. Just playing against him at practice and seeing that from him. I’m not surprised about what he is doing.”
(No, I mean like you guys as a team.) – “No.”

QB Jacoby Brissett (transcribed by ASAP Sports)
Q: What are the emotions like for you after you see QB Tua Tagovailoa get hurt and know you have to go in? – “I mean, obviously you never want to see a player go down, especially one of your teammates. I’m thinking about him right now. I don’t want this to sound bad, but it’s part of the game, just being ready to go. My number was called. It wasn’t my first time in this situation, so yeah.”
Q: Have you had a chance to talk to QB Tua Tagovailoa and how he’s doing? – “No, we just got off the field, I showered real fast, got here. I’m sure I’ll talk to him later.”
Q: How are you feeling? You got hit pretty hard too. – “Still standing up here smiling (laughter). Got another game next week.”
Q: Were you able to get any practice time with guys like WR Jaylen Waddle and WR Albert Wilson that you ended up throwing to during the week? – “Yeah, for sure. I mean, in the NFL you don’t throw the ball to everybody. Like I said, it was one week. Get an opportunity to correct it, go out, get better from there.”
Q: What happened with the pick? – “As far as what?” (What went wrong on that play aside from the throw?) – “Well, yeah, that’s what went wrong (laughter). I mean, I can’t tell you right now. I got to go back and watch the film to really be able to assess it. Yeah, can’t do that.”
Q: What was going on offensively that you couldn’t get clicking at all? – “It’s hard to put your thumb on it right now. I mean, like obviously everything didn’t go right. Everything didn’t go wrong. But we just got to find a way to see what we did well, build off of that. Going to be very important we watch the film, be critical of ourselves, try to build off that and build off our good plays.”
Q: What stood out with the way that the Bills were rushing you and applying pressure to you? – “Say that again.” (What stood out to you from the way that the Bills were rushing you?) – “What do you mean by ‘stand out’?” (What stood out to you? What were you seeing on the field with some of the blitzes and the way they were rushing you?) – “That’s hard. They were just coming. I don’t know how to answer that. Sorry.”
Q: Were you expecting that level of aggression from this defense? – “Oh, yeah, of course. It’s the NFL. It’s a Division game. Yeah, I’m sure we’re going to go back and we’re going to see it. We’re going to see the small things we missed up on that we could have did right, myself included. Correct it for next time.”
Q: You see the game differently than we do. What was Buffalo doing at the start of the game, seven, eight men on the line of scrimmage, blitzing. – “I mean, they do that. That’s Buffalo’s defense. You turn on the film and they show that on film. We were prepared for it. Obviously, it didn’t show that we were prepared for it. Like I said on the last question, you go back and look at those small details when we said we had the answers for those plays, just going back and correcting it.”
Q: As a backup when you see a starter go down, is it instinctual that you grab a football and start warming up? What kind of goes through your mind when you see the starter go down like that and you’re standing there? – “Well, I don’t refer to myself as the backup quarterback, for one. Two, I’m always throwing the ball, keeping my arm loose. You never know. Like I said, injuries happen in this league. You always got to be ready. Just on the sideline, I’m throwing constantly, as much as possible, keeping my legs warm. Obviously you guys seen me go the quarterback sneak, so I still got to be ready, yeah.”
Q: We don’t know yet if you’ll be starting next Sunday or multiple games. How would you describe your comfort level at the moment with your teammates, with the offense and operating the Dolphins’ offense? – “I mean, obviously it’s a work in progress. You’re never done until you’re done. I feel good. We build off of good plays from this week, go back to work, go back to the drawing board. We got a good game coming up. It will be interesting.”
Q: Were they blitzing you as much when you process what they did against you at the start of the game? Were they blitzing you as much? – “I pretty much got in at the start of the game. They came out and played what we saw on film, honestly. It was no different. I mean, probably a couple more extra pressures. But for the most part they came out and played what we thought they were going to do.”
Q: How would you approach the week if QB Tua Tagovailoa can’t go? – “Like every week. I’ll prepare as a starter. I know that’s cliché, but that’s how I live my life. You never know. Like I said, I’ve been in these situations before. I think that served me well.”
Q: You said earlier you don’t think of yourself as a backup quarterback, what do you think of yourself? – “I’m a starter.”
Q: You had a lot of dropped passes today, did you say anything to your receivers? You guys haver a conversation about that at all? – “Yeah, we’ll get better next time. It’s not always on the receiver. Sometimes it’s on me, bad ball. Like I said, go back and watch the film, get another week of preparation to get out there, continue to throw and catch balls. I mean, it’s early in the season, second game of the season. It’s not like the house is burning.”
Q:There was a big one in the endzone that went through WR De/Vante Parker’s hands, is that deflating? – “No, that’s not deflating. It’s too early in the game. It’s never deflating. It’s part of the game. Drops are part of the game, bad throws are part of the game. I think he responded well. He came out and made some more plays, so yeah.”
Q: You see yourself as a starter. Why not go to an organization that will give you a chance to compete for the job? – “I think in the NFL nobody gives you anything, right? You have to go out there and compete, be ready whenever your opportunity comes, however it comes. You got to go out there when you get your opportunity and make the most of it.”
Q: What approach have you taken throughout your career in communication with the offensive line? Sometimes things go well, sometimes they don’t. How do you as a quarterback try to help the situation? – “I mean, it’s not just on them, it’s on me, it’s on the receivers, on the running backs. As an offense, that’s what we understand. It’s not just on the O-line. You go out there, the O-line. It’s not them. Sometimes I got to throw the ball, sometimes somebody has to get open. It’s a mixture of everybody. I think in my career when those types of things have happened, it’s always going back, just like, Hey, let’s not finger point and put this on one group or person, let’s see how we can all help the situation.”
Q: It seems like the Dolphins have built this offense around QB Tua Tagovailoa, how do you view your skillset with some of the scheme you run?) – “I mean, like I said, go out there, prepare and make the most of it. I mean, yeah, a starter. No shock. I think they do that around the league. That’s no excuse. You go out there and compete and work hard. Obviously, it could be geared toward me. You just go out there and play football.”

T Austin Jackson (transcribed by ASAP Sports)
Q: This was your first game to be back after dealing with your situation. How did you feel physically being back out there?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Physically I feel fine. Felt fine, felt good, felt ready to go.
Q: Was there any catch up period for you when you returned to the team to get your lungs back at all? Or did you just have to get back into shape?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Yeah, you know, I did some extra conditioning. Practice is conditioning in itself, so getting back to that was what I needed to get back on the field.
Q: It seems like the Bills sent a lot of pressure especially on your side. Were you ready for that?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Yeah, I’m always ready for pressure, especially playing offensive line. The thing about the NFL is there’s a lot of disguises, a lot of hidden things. But, you know, I got to look at the film to see what they did. They definitely did some different stuff than they put on tape.
Q: How do you feel the line performed tonight?
AUSTIN JACKSON: You know, you never want to see your quarterback hurt or on the ground. Those are two terrible things that we all kick ourselves over. I think there’s definitely a lot of things we can get better at, things that we will get better about. Let me say that, too. We’re not hoping, going out there and praying. It’s hard work that we put in. We’ll do it.”
Q: You mentioned you never want to see your quarterback hurt, what was the emotions for you when you saw QB Tua Tagovailoa trying to get to the sideline and not be able to make it?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Tough. Sucks. Hurts. But in the moment, next play, next play. Whoever’s next up, do a better job of protecting them, or do everything you can in your power as 11 people. I think as a team we all struggled, clearly. Especially you hate to see stuff like that.”
Q: Did you expect seven and eight men fronts and blitzes like that?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Did we expect seven and eight man fronts? Yes, we did. There’s a lot of variation with the seven and eight man fronts, but yeah.”
Q: Is communication, is that something that is the center and quarterback’s responsibility to let know where the pressure is coming from?
AUSTIN JACKSON: Starts with the whole offense. Receivers, tight ends, offensive linemen, quarterbacks. In terms of what the O-line has to do protection-wise, we try to move with each other and communicate. Kind of like all five talking. Center is not just barking orders out to us because he can’t see everything that we all see out on the field.

Head Coach Brian Flores (transcribed by ASAP Sports)
Q: How is Tua doing?
COACH FLORES: We’re getting some tests run. I just asked. They don’t know the severity of the injury right now. But we’re going to run some tests tonight and tomorrow morning, hopefully have a little bit more information.
Q: How do you explain what happened out there today?
COACH FLORES: I mean, we didn’t play well in any area. We beat ourselves, you know. Penalties, dropped passes, missed tackles. That starts with me. I got to do a better job. I got to do a better job getting us ready to go.
That wasn’t the case today. Give Buffalo credit, they’re a good team. They played well in all three phases. We need to do a much better job from an execution standpoint and give ourselves an opportunity to be in the game, which I thought early we missed a lot of opportunities, so…
Q: You’ve obviously spent a lot of draft capital on the offensive line in recent years. How did the offensive line perform in your view today and where is that rebuilding process?
COACH FLORES: We didn’t do well enough really in any area today. Offensive line, defensive line, coaching. I think we just need to regroup, make the corrections, and do better.
Q: You get the big crowd and the excitement and your quarterback goes down early in the game. What does that do for a team and how do you regroup from that after Tua goes down?
COACH FLORES: I think we have to regroup. We have to regroup. We didn’t do a good enough job of that. I mean, we talk about it, kind of a next man up mentality. Jacoby has to go in the game. It’s a team effort. Really across the board, O-line, running backs, tight ends, receivers. We didn’t get good enough execution across the board.
Including defensively, we didn’t get enough good execution, or in the kicking game. When you don’t execute, you miss opportunities, you don’t have success.
Q: How do you assess Jacoby’s game?
COACH FLORES: Not good enough. That’s across the board. I think as an offense, as a defense, as a special teams, as a coaching staff, we didn’t do anything good enough today.
We’ll go back, we’ll make the corrections. We need to perform better if we want to give ourselves a chance to have success.
Q: They came out with seven or eight-man front blitzes, right from the first play. What went wrong schematically with you? Or was it individuals?
COACH FLORES: I got to go back and watch the film. We got a lot of protection issues. I know they were up on the line of scrimmage. When they weren’t, we still had some issues. I have to go back and watch the film to have a lot more understanding of what happened from that standpoint after I watch it.
Q: Is there anything prep-wise this week that would give you an indication that you guys would play like this?
COACH FLORES: I thought the preparation was good. We didn’t execute. I mean, that’s really what it boils down to in any phase. When you have drops, when you have missed assignments, mental errors, when you have fumbles, when you lack ball security. We didn’t play well.
I thought the preparation, I thought we had a good week of prep. Obviously not good enough. I got to do a better job of getting us prepared. But we didn’t execute. That was what it was more than anything.
I think — yeah, we got to do a better job executing. I got to do a better job of getting us to a point where we can execute better.
Q: What can you tell us about Jesse Davis and Jakeem Grant that were hurt as well?
COACH FLORES: Yeah, I mean, we’ll have more information tomorrow. Both tough guys, I know they’ll do everything they can to get back out there.
Q: Do you think a lot of dropped passes today had something to do maybe with wide receivers not knowing Jacoby’s rhythm or anything like that?
COACH FLORES: I mean, there’s a lot that plays into it. But throwing and catching, that’s kind of a fundamental that we talk about. If the ball is there, I think we should have an opportunity or give ourselves – if we’re given an opportunity to catch it, we got to catch it. Whoever is throwing the ball. We get enough reps with Jacoby and the other receivers. I don’t want to use with that as an excuse.
Q: You have a veteran backup in Jacoby. Where is the team’s confidence if you need him next week against the Raiders?
COACH FLORES: I mean, we’ll see where we’re at with Tua. Like any position, if he’s not able to go, I think we’ve dealt with this with COVID, injuries, it’s something that’s not new to anyone. The next guy’s got to play. That’s the case with me as well.
Q: What is the mood like in the locker room when you talked to the guys after the game?
COACH FLORES: Look, I mean, guys are disappointed. As you know, I mean, any conversation I have with the players I try to keep private. But guys are disappointed. I’m disappointed.
I think we need to just regroup, come in tomorrow, make the corrections, and start fresh Wednesday and get ready for our next opponent, which is going to be another tough game on the road.
Q: Considering how the last few years have gone, is there any sort of mental hurdle this team needs to get over playing the Bills?
COACH FLORES: I think we need to just do a better job of executing. I think if we do that, things take care of themselves. It’s hard. Every week is hard in this league.
But give them credit. They did a great job today. They played well in all three phases. We’ve got to be better.
Q: Was there any chance, I guess, today for Tua to come back once he got hurt?
COACH FLORES: No.
Q: If Jacoby were to have gone down, do you have an emergency quarterback?
COACH FLORES: We’ll talk through that this week. I’m hopeful that Tua is back and we don’t have to go into that. But we’ll talk about that this week.
Yeah, I mean, right now on the roster we don’t have anyone. We have Reid Sinnett on the practice squad. We would have to make a move to do that. Hopefully we don’t have to.
Q: But today – it’s looking back but if Jacoby would have gone down, who would have…
COACH FLORES: Yeah, we had a plan. We have a third quarterback.
