LB Bradley Chubb

(When you’ve got a rookie quarterback, how much can you go to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and say, ‘let me go get him?’) – “You still want to play within the defense. You know he’s going to have a great plan for it, so I’m just doing my piece in this defense. Yeah, you want to get after him and yeah, you want to make him uncomfortable, but it’s going to come. It’s going to be one of those things that you just got to let the game to you and not try to go out there and force it. Like I said, it’s a rookie quarterback, so you’re going to be licking the chops a little bit, but he’s still a great player. He’s still got great guys around him so you can’t really do too much. You just got to do whatever the defense allows you.”

(What do you think about QB Tua Tagovailoa’s new look?) – “I love it. He told me he was going to do it, but I didn’t believe him. Then he came in the next day with the cornrows. The ‘uce’ is loose.”

(How difficult is it facing a team that looks like they are having a lot of fun right now and they are rejuvenated?) – “Before we left for the bye, that was one of the messages. They are a team with a lot of new life, a lot of great playmakers that can change the game at any moment. It’s not a, ‘oh it’s just the Raiders this week.’ They are a great football team and it’s a team we’re going to have to take very seriously and be ready to bring it.”

(Is there a difference – you guys are in first place, everybody knows who you are – from being the hunter to being the hunted?) – “For sure. Everybody is going to give us their best shot. There is no, ‘ah, man we started off slow.’ When you got people coming and gunning for you, you got to start fast and finish fast and maintain throughout the game. That’s going to be our main thing is trying to sustain and defuse their momentum and keep ours going. It’s going to be a great matchup. I’m looking forward to it.”

(You haven’t been there for all of it, but the Dolphins are 16-2 on the last 18 at Hard Rock Stadium. What is it about Hard Rock Stadium from your experience that makes you guys so successful at home?) – “The obvious is the sun kind of cooking them a little bit. That wears on you a little bit as the game goes on. But just the physical brand that we bring to the field. We don’t want to lose in front of our home fans. We don’t want to disappoint the people who gather up money each week to come see us play. We take pride in that. It means a lot to us. We just want to be there for each other.”

(How many texts did you send to your old Broncos teammates saying, ‘thanks for that win over the Bills?’) – “I didn’t send them out yet, but for sure it’s going to come out this week. It’s good to see those guys having success. No bad blood there. But at the end of the day, we want to continue to do everything we got going on over here and have the same success.”
