WR Allen Hurns

(Your reactions, your thoughts on getting the contract extension?) – “Right now I’m not really thinking about that. There is too much to think about in the game.”

(How tough was that fumble? When you watch it, it looks like you really never had control. But when you slow it down – how tough was that when you have the momentum going and something like that happens?) – “It’s very tough, especially with a big momentum change, especially right after we got the onside kick. That’s just something that’s totally unacceptable. The good thing about that is it’s all on me. It’s something that I can fix. I’m just eager to get back to practice and look myself in the mirror and move on from it.”

(Was it something that you were trying to make a play too soon before worrying about getting the ball first?) – “Yeah. I was pretty much trying to make more of it rather than securing the ball and securing the catch and then move from there.”

(What was it about you wanting to be here beyond this year that made that contract appealing to you?) – “It’s a lot of reasons; but the main thing is I see where this program is headed. Just the last few weeks, you’ve seen the progress of where we’re headed and the camaraderie built on this team. Just being around here with the guys, I feel really good going forward, so that meant a lot to me.”

(What’s in store for the future here do you think?) – “I think the main thing as far as us is you can see the camaraderie and things like that, but we’re going to get to a level where we’re winning consistently. There’s a lot of things holding us back right now, like me when I fumbled that ball, and things like that; but once we get to a level where we’re doing things consistently, we’ll win on a consistent level.”

(They always say to put the wins behind you real quick and the losses you have to put behind quick, but it’s hard. I can sense it in the way you’re feeling right now. How hard is it to put those losses behind you?) – “It’s tough. It’s tough but that’s the thing about football: each week is a new week. Right now it weighs heavy on you because you don’t have anything to do and we haven’t had practice yet, but I think once I get back out to practice Wednesday, I can put it behind me. Right now you just have to learn from it. (When you) watch film and see things like that, it’s going to weigh heavy on you because you feel like you let your teammates down. At the end of the day, like I said, you look at yourself in the mirror and you’re able to move on from it.”

(How would you describe your season? You came in and now you’ve worked your way into the starting lineup, how satisfying was that?) – “It’s been good. It’s been one crazy journey for me, especially coming off of this injury – training camp, on the cusp of making the team or not making the team. That’s the thing, that’s what I love about this receiving group: we came in and we came ready to work each and every day. They accepted me. We really play for each other. When Preston (Williams) went down, that meant a lot of us had to step up. You saw that this past Sunday. A lot of guys were making plays, whether it’s Jakeem (Grant), Albert (Wilson) – Albert is getting back to himself. That just shows where we’re at as a group. There is not any selfishness or anything like that. We all play as one.”

(When you signed with the Dolphins, were you thinking this could be a place you could be for a while, or were you pretty much just looking at this year?) – “I was really just thinking about this year, just short term as far as me just showing people how I’m able to rebound off of my injury and things like that. I wasn’t thinking of anything long term. Just come in each day and take it one day at a time.”
