RB Frank Gore

(On the Bears defense.) – “They’re a good defense. They play hard. They’re a good team. Our goal is to go out there and try to get a win. We’re also a good team. We just have to clean up our mistakes from last week and play all four quarters and go from there.”

(How about the challenge of trying to protect QB Ryan Tannehill from Bears LB Khalil Mack and how he’s played?) – “He’s a hell of a player. He plays hard every play. That’s why they traded for him. He makes that defense go. They’ve got a bunch of great defensive players. I know the defensive coordinator (Vic Fangio). He’s a great coach. I know he’s going to get those boys ready to play. But we also have great coaches too. It should be a good game. As long as we go out there and just believe in us and play hard and play together and try to get a win, we should be fine.”

(Was practice different this week after the loss to Cincinnati? Because you guys were up, was there a sense of frustration and anger?) – “I didn’t see that. I just thought we all … Coach Gase told us what it was and what it is. We all got over it and we came out the first day on Wednesday and busted our behinds. We had a good day today and we’ll finish up tomorrow, come in Saturday and be ready for Sunday.”

(You got a decent amount of carries on first down last Sunday. How much does that help in terms of you getting into a rhythm?) – “I was excited being out there with my teammates and being able to touch the ball, but you never know how a game plan is going to be this week. I’ll just be ready for my number to get called no matter what. They called my number and I was ready for it.”

(How do you look at you and RB Kenyan Drake? There’s some feeling that you’re kind of the chains mover and he may be the home run hitter. How do you see how you guys are used?) – “We both work good off each other. We’re both different (and have) a different running style. He can do everything in the passing game. I can also do things in the passing game; but I think it’s a good mix. As long as we’re in and the game is going right, I think Coach Gase will get us opportunities.”

(Do you like the dynamic when both of you guys are on the field? It seems pretty unique.) – “I like being on the field no matter what. But yes, it’s good. It’s a good change of pace. It helps each other.”

(What’s the key to third-down success for this team?) – “I just think we have to … As long as we do good on first and second (down), if it’s third down, we should be good. I think we did a lot better last week. I just think as long as we keep doing good on first and second down and getting us in good situations on third down, it’ll help Coach Gase make great calls and we’ll be fine.”

(As a fellow running back, what did you think of RB Kenyan Drake’s block on that pass?) – “He’s tough. He plays the game hard. He plays hard and I like it.”
