C Daniel Kilgore

(What has been the challenge, particularly with the two rookie guards? Obviously, they’re young and have talent but have a lot to learn.) – “The challenge, just like any rookie coming in transitioning from college to this level, is the speed of things and just the day-to-day being able to pick it up. Things are going to change on a daily basis. How fast can they pick it up and retain that is probably the biggest task that they’re having to do right now.”

(What have you seen from them in game? There’s a lot coming at them, of course the sack given up, they’ve got to fix quick. What have you seen from them?) – “Their tenacity and their willingness to get better. They may screw up here and there, but it’s water down their back. They line up the next play and they’re ready to get after it. They know that they’re going to make mistakes along the way, as we all do. They’re easy to forget about it and move on.”

(This quarterback battle is starting to wind down. Obviously, the opener is in two weeks. How have you seen the dynamic between those two guys as this has gone about?) – “As far as the battle, I think it’s not really a battle. I think it’s just two guys working together, trying to get better. Josh (Rosen) is obviously the younger guy, he has fed a lot off of ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick). And ‘Fitz’ has done a good job communicating with him. The whole quarterback room – Jake (Rudock) has done an excellent job coming in and communicating with those guys. Across the board, the whole quarterback room is communicating with the receivers and offensive line. It’s really – I wouldn’t call it a battle. I think it’s more or less three guys trying to get better with this team and they’ve definitely done that.”

(Has Head Coach Brian Flores talked to the group about where it is and all that?) – “Absolutely not. That’s Coach Flores and the staff’s call. No matter who it is, we’re going to roll with them and we’re going to go fight for them.”

(Did you see what happened with Colts QB Andrew Luck last night with the fans? Do you have an opinion on that?) – “I did see it. Spending my time out in the Bay Area, I met Andrew a couple times and (he is a) great guy. I’m not sure exactly what he’s going through right now. Obviously, he’s got the injury history, but I hate it for him. He’s obviously a great quarterback and definitely a great person. As far as the fan situation, I can’t comment because I think we got some of the best fans in the leagues here with the Dolphins. I hate that for him. I hope whatever he’s going through, he’s at peace with it and he’s able to walk away from this game and doing it on his own terms.”
