David Long Jr. – January 13, 2024 (Postgame)

Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024
Postgame – Kansas City Chiefs

Miami Dolphins LB David Long Jr.

Q: On the season as a whole.

LONG: “We put in so much work to get to a point to hopefully get to the next level. Nothing is guaranteed. It just hurts when you put so much work into something and everything doesn’t come into fruition. It just hurts. I’m a passionate player. I wanted more for these guys, especially for this team. You don’t get to be part of this kind of team that many times. I wish we could have taken advantage of it, to be honest. It is what it is. I hate to say it. I hate that. I hate that phrase, ‘It is what it is’. I wish we could have done more.”

Q: How much did the recent rash of defensive injuries catch up with you?

LONG: “Yes, we lost some great players. I hate to put that out there like that was the reason. This is the NFL. We have guys that can come in and do the job. Even out there we had [Justin] Houston and [Bruce] Irvin. They made plays for us. I’m not saying we didn’t get to where we wanted to be because of injuries. We had enough here to get it done, we just didn’t make it happen.”

Q: What was your favorite part of the season?

LONG: “I don’t know. That’s a hard question. I don’t know. I do know that this is going to hurt, and it’s going to make everybody better in a way. Especially during the offseason. Like I said, this was a great team, and I’m glad I was a part of it.”
