 Postgame – Indianapolis Colts

Miami Dolphins DE Cameron Wake (Transcribed by Indianapolis Colts)

Re: When Andrew Luck broke contain on third-and-nine:
“I was on the field. I was engaged. Colts – they made a play, we didn’t. Probably one of the bigger plays of the game.”

How hard is he to get down?
“No harder than anybody else. Sacks are hard to get, so – relatively – no big deal.”

This was a big game for you guys: Time of the season, games left, all those types of things. How do you guys bounce back? There are a couple more road games left and this seemed like the one that you could maybe steal from them. Instead, you’re folding back kind of.
“Yeah, it was right there. I mean, everything. It was scripted the way we wanted. Obviously coming off the bye (week), everybody getting a little more time to get fresh; refresh, restart – whatever you needed. You know, the tips were right there, the lead going into the end of the game, defense on the field to close it out – all the things that I would love to have scripted if I had my way. It’s unfortunate they made one more play. I think it’s, obviously, a lot placed on that one play, but there are obviously, probably, 10 other plays throughout the course of the game on both sides of the ball that would have probably eliminated the fact that that was even the situation.”

What were they able to do on the last couple of drives to move the ball down the field so freely when they struggling for a number of series prior to that?
“Yeah, I think I’m very interested to go look at the tape. But obviously, somehow somebody got disconnected. We didn’t get the rush that we needed up front, of course. He was able to escape. So, he had a free field of vision to throw the ball downfield. The way I feel, it’s on us as a front to eliminate that. DB, I’ve never played DB, but I can’t imagine covering people for – I don’t know how long it was – four or five seconds. They were high class receivers, so as a front we’ve got to make sure we do everything we can to keep him boxed in and keep him from being able to do that kind of thing. So it’s unfortunate.”

Is this a game where you tip your cap to Andrew Luck or do you say we let one get away?
“Well, I never take anything away from anybody. But at the same time, you look at some of the plays and you see we shot ourselves in the foot. They made some plays too, not to take away from those guys, but critical moment. That’s something that we’ve got to be the ones to make it harder, I’ll say that.”
