WR Albert Wilson

(I saw you throwing a couple of passes on the sideline last game. Are you the emergency quarterback?) – “Nah. (laughter) Just helping out.”

(I was going to say, you were a pretty good quarterback in high school right?) – “Yeah, them days over with. (laughter)”

(Do you still have it in you?) – “It never goes but my job title is something else now. (laughter)”

(You weren’t playing last season, but I can imagine you watched the Dolphins game in Las Vegas last year. What was that like from your viewing experience?) – “It was exciting. You get those games that go down to the wire, that’s the best ones to watch. Not necessarily to be in, but at home watching, you want them to go back and forth and go down until the final say so. It was very exciting.”

(How is the chemistry with the team with QB Jacoby Brissett and looking forward to the game on Sunday, how is that going?) – “It’s going pretty good. Jacoby came in as soon as he was picked up in the offseason. He was here the next day with Tua (Tagovailoa) and the rest of us throwing during the offseason. He’s been around. We’ve got a lot of chemistry with him and we believe in what he does. We’re excited to have him up, just looking forward to this next week.”

(Your teammates say QB Jacoby Brissett is a leader. Do you believe that he’s a leader on this team?) – “For sure. He’s definitely a leader. It’s exciting to have his leadership up and have him doing things.”

(A lot of the focus has been on the offensive line after the game against Buffalo. But the wide receiver corps didn’t perform up to it’s standards, I think you’d agree with that. Has there been talk amongst you guys about wanting to really bounce back, and show this was just a blip?) – “Yeah, for sure. We’ve just got to catch the ball. That’s our job. That’s what they expect us to do. That’s what the team expect us to do. That’s what the world expects us to do. We just have to have them. I know myself, I was just excited out there trying to make things happen. I kind of tend to leave the ball, so that’s what happened. But myself, I got to bring those in to have those for the team.”

(What’s it been like to practice with WR Will Fuller? We’ve been talking about speed, speed and the addition of speed, but what kind of weapon does he bring to this offense?) – “It doesn’t even look like he’s running. He’s picking up so much ground while he’s out there and moving along. You can’t even tell he’s trying. His speed is outstanding and it’s definitely going to be something we can use in this offense.”

(Have you seen QB Tua Tagovailoa? How are his spirits, if you have?) – “He’s in good spirits, but he’s always in good spirits. He’s a real good kid. You wouldn’t tell he has a rib issue or whatever. He’s in good spirits, just healing up and getting as much treatment as he can. Waiting to get him back.”

(Getting more reps with QB Jacoby Brissett this week, how can that affect the team’s confidence going into this Sunday?) – “We’ve got full confidence in him as we do with Tua (Tagovailoa). We don’t feel like we took a step back with him. We’re excited to have this challenge and move on to better things.”

(How’s the team doing in terms of never getting too high or too low? The first week, you have a very good result. The second week, not so much. How have you guys been able to handle both sides?) – “We went up to New England, played a decent game, came out with the victory. Would say we were kind of feeling ourselves, I guess so. We definitely got humbled by Buffalo. We know we’re a good team. We know if we execute right, do the right things, listen to our coaches and be where we need to be, we know we’ll be able to compete with anybody in this league. We’ve just got to get back to doing the small things right, making sure we’re doing our assignments, I don’t think we’ll have a problem with this game coming up, or any issues or any trouble like that.”
