Postgame – Los Angeles Chargers

Dolphins DE Cameron Wake (transcribed by the Los Angeles Chargers)

On the devastation in South Florida:
“It has definitely been a crazy past few days. I was speaking to the team about how every so often something happens that puts everything in perspective. You want to make sure your family, friends, and loved one are safe. For people in South Florida affected by Hurricane Irma, football takes a backseat for a while. We were scrambling there for a minute. For the most part, most of the guys got out and their families. Trying to do everything you can to get everything back to normal. I know that people back in South Florida are trying to do the same thing. We’re trying to get back to the daily task and the normal routine. For us, football is a part of the normal routine and we would like to make winning a part of our routine. Today was a step in the right direction. Obviously, I hope everyone back home has the facility to watch the game and have just a moment of free time and pleasure to watch us bring the win back to South Florida.”

On how to focus on the game:
“The reality is, to be very blunt, nobody cares. I would assume that the Chargers didn’t care too much about what we had to deal with last week. They were prepared to beat us and they gave it their best shot. I am pretty sure that week 15 whoever we are playing does not care that we don’t have a bye-week and everybody else in the league does. They are not going to care. They are going to give us the best shot to beat us. We’re going to have to take our 30 seconds to cry and then shut up and man up. Do whatever you have to do your job. Your jobs don’t care, I don’t care, guys watching the game don’t care. The team trying to beat you does not care. The whining and the complaining ended a long time ago. No matter when no matter where, when the ball goes down, you have to play.”

On the team’s toughness:
“I think adversity shows character and here we are. The last few weeks we had a little adversity and opportunities that we could have thrown in the towel or cried about this. I don’t think that is the way we are built. It is another one of those things that in spite of we are still trying to find a way to win. Today was one of those situations. Who cares about what happened last week? Is your house damaged? I don’t know. Some guys haven’t been home in over a week and don’t know what is going on but they just have to go out there and play. That is what brings the guys together and all focus on the same task to get the win. It was a scratch and crawl type of game.”
