S Isa Abdul-Quddus

(On why he signed with the Dolphins) – “I love the new energy that the staff is going towards. They were really enthusiastic in getting me there, so I kind of just embraced them as they embraced me.”

(On what he can bring to the team) – “I can bring some energy. I can help the defense play a little bit better. I always like trying to get everybody on the same page, so I know that my duty will be to try to get everybody playing on the same page and working together.”

(On if he played strong safety last year and some free safety the previous year) – “Yes.”

(On if he feels well suited to play free safety in Miami) – “(S) Reshad Jones is a great safety. Honestly, I’m ready to play anything opposite of him, because I know he had a great year last year. I don’t want to get him uncomfortable doing something different. I’m just open to playing wherever.”

(On playing with DT Ndamukong Suh in Detroit) – “It’s exciting. The guy works so hard. On game day he’s going to give you 100 percent effort and I can’t wait to see that again. He made defense so easy (my) first year in Detroit, because he stopped the run so much. I can’t wait to get that back.”

(On what he thinks about the Dolphins secondary and if the unit can be productive) — “Oh yeah. I think everybody is going to come in hungry and going to learn and just ready to work. I’m excited to see what we are going to do.”

(On what intrigues him about Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph’s defense) – “It’s going to be similar to (what we did) in Detroit so it won’t be too much crossover. It will just be different language. (Joseph) is a great young coach and I can’t wait to play for him.”

(On how he would describe his playing style) – “In the run game, I try to get to the line of scrimmage before the running back gets there, pretty much. In coverage, I just try to read the quarterback and make sure that I’m there where he is when he throws the ball. I’m really versatile, I think, and I just try to do whatever it takes to win, honestly.”

(On if he set up any other visits or had other teams in the running for him) – “The Lions were for a little bit; but the ball got rolling on the Dolphins so fast, that’s how everything just went. I started talking to them and we got a deal done. (Inaudible)”
