Head Coach Adam Gase

(When you watched QB Ryan Tannehill all week, did you pay attention or try to monitor in terms of the velocity? I know you were monitoring for pain but how did he look?) – “Good. He did a good job this week. All of the throws seemed normal to me. We did as many different types of things as we could to put him in game-like situations. We didn’t seen anything that would make us nervous about anything.”

(You said earlier this week that the plan is to go into this game and we’re going to call it as we would normally call it. But QB Ryan Tannehill is a guy who moves out of the pocket, so the plan is still to use him in these athletic forms?) – “Yeah. We’re going to call what’s best for us for that game. I don’t see any limitations with him. He’s cleared, he feels good and ready to go and I think we’ve covered all of the throws to where I feel good about it and he’s moving around the same.”

(How did T Laremy Tunsil and T Ja’Wuan James get through the week of practice?) – “They got through. I’m sure they’re not 100 percent but they didn’t really miss any reps, I don’t think.”

(RB Kenyan Drake and WR DeVante Parker?) – “They both practiced. We just didn’t have any contact with them so we’re just trying to get them to the game and see how good they feel. I think we’ll be okay in that area unless some surprise happens.”

(With range of motion for WR DeVante Parker, are you confident he can do everything he needs to do?) – “Yeah. I’ve seen him do pretty much everything you need to do. It’s just how is he going to feel on Sunday the first time he gets hit and things like that. He’s been pretty good about bouncing back from these types of deals. He’s recovered really quickly from this.”

(WR DeVante Parker said earlier this week that his confidence has been shaken a little bit because he’s kind of had a difficult season from an injury standpoint, then what was going on with you and the agent and all of that stuff. How do you get a guy to focus in when it has been a rough year mentally.) – “The thing that I’ve told him and other guys before that is you can control what happens the next week. You control how your week of practice goes and then when you get to the game and you get your opportunities in the game, make the most of them. You can’t dwell on what’s already happened. That’s gone. That’s in the past. If you worry about that stuff, that’s like the pollution of the mind. You can’t worry about it. He needs to continue what happened this week in practice. He had a good week of practice. He was running good. He was catching the ball. He was getting up the field. His energy at practice was really good. Now, when we hit Sunday, when the ball is thrown to you, make a play, get us some first downs and make us some explosive plays. That’s all that matters. Nobody cares what happened the other weeks if you have a good game this week.”

(Is DE Charles Harris healthy enough to play?) – “I think things look good going into Sunday.”

(How much do you think DE Charles Harris can help you guys?) – “I think he’s had some time to recover. He’s doing a great job in the weight room. I think he feels extremely – as far as strength goes – as good as he’s ever felt. His conditioning, like always, has been just off the charts. I think this is probably about as good as he’s felt since before training camp.”
