LB Jaelan Phillips

(What’s it like being back this week? Obviously, you guys are 7-3 going into this game before another road trip. How important is it to make sure you…) – “It’s extremely important. I always talk about how we just take it one day at a time and really dive into the process. You can’t overlook any team in the NFL. Everybody is super talented. There’s a reason they’re in the NFL. Everybody is coached well. Everybody has the ability to make big plays, so you definitely have to bring your A-game every single week.”

(How challenging is it, not only coming off the bye week, but then all of a sudden right into Thanksgiving week when there’s other distractions? Obviously, people might have family in town and stuff like that. How do you ultra-focus on the game?) – “I really don’t think it’s a distraction so much. I think it’s really just a blessing, honestly. A lot of guys don’t get to see their families throughout the season too much, so to be able to have them come down here for Thanksgiving and be able to hang out with some family and have some fellowship, if anything, it’s kind of like refreshing.”

(What are you thankful for this holiday season?) – “What am I thankful for? The Miami Dolphins. (laughter) I’m thankful for my teammates. I’m thankful for my family, my coaches, the situation that we’re in. I have a lot of gratitude every day.”

(Do you have any holiday plans?) – “To be at the house – I have a little 2,200 square foot house. We’re going to have like 17 people in there cooking, napping, having a good time.”

(You look like a great eater. What’s your ultimate plate?) – “(laughter) I’m big – got the turkey on there, some little bit of cranberry, stuffing for sure, little green bean casserole. My family is [inaudible] mom’s parents, dad’s parents and stuff, so we grew up eating vegetarian casserole dishes, which sound nasty but are actually pretty good. So I might have a little bit of that, (and) sweet potato casserole, for sure, too.”

(What teammate wouldn’t you invite to your Thanksgiving because they’d eat too much of the food?) – “Zach Sieler. (laughter) No, John Jenkins. John Jenkins would eat all of my plates, for sure.”
