WR Kenny Stills

(On the play between you and WR Danny Amendola, were you guys in the same vicinity on purpose, by accident? Did that play just kind of unfold like that?) – “No. I was where I was supposed to be. I was running a post route, I think he was running a crossing route or something and I saw Brock (Osweiler) break the pocket. So I just was working my way back to the ball and it was tipped up and I made a play.”

(Because he broke the pocket, that’s how you guys kind of ended up in the same vicinity?) – “Yes.”

(The classic line is obviously injuries are a part of the game, but because of your relationship with QB Ryan Tannehill having been here with him for a number of years, do you feel … I don’t want to say extra bad, but do you feel compassion knowing what he went through and now sidelined again?) – “Yeah. I mean, with any player on this team, we spend a lot of time together and you feel for them when they’re hurt. I know he’s upset and he wants to be out there and he wants to help the team anyway that he can. Yes, we definitely feel for him, especially because that’s our quarterback.”

(Is there some point you want to reassure QB Ryan Tannehill and kind of remind him that he has a chance of coming back this season even if it’s a couple of weeks?) – “Yeah. I think that’s really my job. We see him every day, we all uplift each other regardless if we’re hurt or not. We know that when he’s ready and he’s back out there, he’ll be out there playing.”

(QB Brock Osweiler said something in the press conference that I thought was interesting. He said in the offensive meeting room, sometimes guys use the phrase standards over feelings. What does that mean to you?) – “In this business and I think in a lot of other places, sometimes it’s difficult to take coaching or it’s difficult to be told that you’re wrong. We have a standard that we set here and we go by that. So if we’re not meeting those standards and your feelings get hurt, you have to understand that it’s about holding ourselves to this and going out there and trying to make sure that we’re competing and winning.”

(How are things going with continuity-wise with QB Brock Osweiler this week?) – “Great. You guys …”

(We don’t see much at practice.) – “You don’t see much but the quarterbacks are out there and we throw routes on air all offseason. Brock (Osweiler) was here this offseason. We get that time together. It’s different timing throughout the game, but we’ve been working together for a while. It’s not like it’s somebody that just came off the street. Brock’s been doing this. He prepares like a professional and it showed last week when he was out there.”

(Because QB Brock Osweiler knows Head Coach Adam Gase’s offense from their time together in Denver, has that leaked into practice? Has he helped you guys on things?) – “I definitely think it’s makes him a lot more comfortable being that he’s been in the offense before and he’s familiar with it. It makes it easier for him to play well and play fast.”
