Head Coach Adam Gase (Postgame)

(RE: No huddle)
“That was good and the drives were. Having one negative play hurts us so much and puts us in a bad position – puts us at third and long. It’s tough to overcome. You have to eliminate negative plays whether it be a negative run. It’s not like minus one. It’s like minus five, minus six.”

(RE: Still seeing sloppiness)
“I don’t know if it’s so much sloppiness or just… we have to react a little quicker. That’s what happens when you practice in games. It’s different. You have to be quicker to react to things.”

(RE: When do stakes raise and become problem)
“Once you get in the season. We’ve got two more weeks to clean it up. That’s where our focus has got to be.”

(RE: Christian McCaffrey 71-yard run)
“It can be one guy. We had two guys kind of misfoot it. It’s a lot different when you go from doing it in a walk-through to live competition. They executed the play very good and we had one guy misfoot it. We had a chance to save ourselves and we didn’t. That’s one thing we have to eliminate these big runs. We could have 30 good plays against the run, but if you have two explosive plays against the run that’s going to hurt us.”

(RE: Raekwon McMillan)
“We’re bringing guys in and out and just trying to figure out what’s going to be the right formula for us when we go into the regular season.”

(RE: Ryan Tannehill)
“I think he was good. We’ve just got to get quicker in and out of the huddle. He was sharp as far as his accuracy and his decision making. He wasn’t hesitant in anything. It seems we’re moving the ball the way we want to, we just have to make sure we finish the drives with touchdowns.”

(RE: Ryan Tannehill to Jakeem Grant miss)
“Ryan was just kind of thinking something else. Jakeem was right in what he did. Ryan just kind of lost it there for a second.”

(RE: Defensive changes)
“These are about details that will be easier to talk about the next time I see you guys. There were some plays we made and there were plays I would have liked to have seen us make. That’s why we’ve still got to practice and we’ve still got to go out and get better – tighter coverage and rush better have our linebackers be consistent.”

(RE: Robert Quinn)
“He’s been a terror in training camp. I think Laremy (Tunsil) has done a great job. He has a knack for pass rush. He comes off the edge quicker. It’s good to see him get a go against somebody else and have success.”

(RE: Is Osweiler separating as the number two now)
“We flipped it from last week. David (Fales) went second last week.”

(RE: Concerned no one is playing well in that role)
“I wouldn’t say that. I think there have been times when they’ve both played well. We’ve gotten through practice. We watch them every day. I know what’s expected in the game. When you’re in there with the starters it looks different – guys are breaking free. It’s tough. There are different groups and it can be challenging as quarterback. Their timing is not the same. That’s where they’ve got to fight through that and try to get completions and put the ball in the end zone.”

(RE: Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant after injuries)
“They both were consistent as far as executing what we asked them to do. They are unique to have in the position I have right now. I feel like those guys would start on other teams.”

(RE: Albert Wilson’s position on offense)
“He seems to have no issues picking up where we’re going. Occasionally something will come up that he hasn’t experienced before and he figures it out pretty quick.”

(RE: Comfort level with Bobby McCain)
I’m always going to be comfortable with Bobby because he competes. He stays tight. This was kind of his first exposure against a different competition apart from practice. I think he’ll only get better

(RE: Fair to say this is his job)
It could be. It could be. We’ll kind of see how it goes.

(RE: Jeremy Langford)
“He showed up. I mean he came in and passed our conditioning test. I was surprised when we told him we were going to start running and I was thinking ‘alright, we’ll see how this goes’ and he said he felt good there at the end and he said he got the dust knocked off. We’ll see how it goes past this point.”

(RE: Held out Tony Lippett)
“That was my call. He didn’t have as many reps this week. I didn’t want to put him in a position where he was hesitant at all. Next week, we’ll get a full week of practice and that will give him the opportunity to go out there and compete. We’ll see where he is then.”

(RE: Xavien Howard)
“He’s done really well in camp. In practice I just want him to keep playing aggressive. You’re going to get manhandled occasionally. I told him I thought he missed on the jump. He disagreed with me on that. That’s how it goes. We’ll look at it on tape. I love his confidence right now. He really takes it personal if somebody throws it on his side. The more we can get him exuding that confidence on other guys, that’s really what we’re looking for.”
