S Bobby McCain

(How do you think it will be seeing Adam Gase on the other sideline?) – “It will be refreshing. I’m sure he’s going to have those guys fired up to come in and try to get a W and we’re going to be fired up trying to get a W. It’ll be a competition, for sure.”

(Do you think there will be some trash talk?) – “Yeah, for sure. It’s Dolphins vs. Jets. It’s a rivalry game. There for sure will be some trash talk but it’s just football.”

(Do you think there’s any advantage that you all can gain in terms of knowing how Adam Gase operates an offense and going up against it in practice?) – “Definitely but that’s really just around the league because it’s a copycat league. A lot of things you see that hurt you, they’re going to come up again. At the end of the day, offensive coordinators just want to see if you get it fixed. Like I said, we’ll know some of the things that are thrown at us and some we won’t. I’m sure he’ll have a couple of things in there that are new because he’s a good coach, he’s a good coordinator and he’s a good offensive mind.”

(The thing that you’ll most fondly remember about your time around Adam Gase is what?) – “I’d rather not speak on – I’m just trying to speak on the Dolphins. He was here, he was my coach. I had respect for him as a coach. I still have respect for him as a man but we’re going out to go win a football game so there’s not too much to say on that one.”

(With turnover in the secondary and obviously no CB Xavien Howard for the rest of the year, what have you seen from some of the young guys who have had to play a lot – CB Nik Needham and CB Chris Lammons?) – “They’re learning. They’re learning and getting better. It’s just a challenge each and every week. It’s a challenge each and every week to do that. In this league, you have to grow (and) you have to mature and understand that production – it’s a ‘what have you done for me lately’ business. So you have to produce and you have to put out good film and play good ball. Our record doesn’t show how hard we’re playing or how hard we’re preparing to get it done. I promise you that.”

(Any comments about CB Aqib Talib joining your group?) – “I’m excited to have him. He’s a great leader (and has been) a great player in this league for a long time. I don’t know all of the logistics about him being on IR. That’s not my business, but I know he’s a great player. We’re happy to have him and ready to get going.”

(What was your reaction about CB Xavien Howard?) – “That definitely sucks a little bit. You’ve just got to make sure – he’s a great player (so) we want to make sure he’s healthy and make sure he gets right because we’re going to need him.”

(It’s 12:30 on Sunday and you are standing two yards away from Adam Gase. What are you most likely to say to him?) – “I’ll definitely say what’s up. I’ll probably say a little more. (laughter)”

(What kind of trash?) – “No, it won’t be anything crazy. I have respect for him over there. I have respect for Coach Gase and everything he’s done so I’m not going to disrespect him. But there’s definitely going to be some chatter. It’s football. If it’s not then it isn’t fun.”

(Is Adam Gase going to try you deep?) – “Yeah, I hope so. (laughter) I hope so.”

(It looks like you guys are getting closer and closer and closer. What kind of progress have you seen from the team in terms of development?) – “We’re getting better. People don’t understand, we’ve got a lot of young guys. We’re just getting better each and every week. That’s all you can do. The wins will come. You just have to keep doing what you’re doing and prepare the right way and be a pro at the end of the day because this league, it’s about routine. So if you get in a routine and you find something that works for you – that’s what I’ve been trying to tell the young guys like Nik (Needham) and Ken (Webster) and (Chris) Lammons – guys that are playing good football, get in your routine and find it because that will keep you steady and that will keep you consistent.”
