QB Matt Moore

(Obviously the news regarding QB Ryan Tannehill, we still don’t know a full 100; but your thoughts on the possibility of you taking over the reins for him?) – “Yes, it’s hard. As a buddy and teammate, you never want to see that happen. This is part of my role and I’ve done this before and stepping up and being ready if need be. So that’s as much as I know and kind of the attitude I have moving forward.”

(What was the mood of the team today? Was it business as usual? Was anybody down?) – “I mean guys … It stinks, but I thought today was a good practice. Guys were popping around. (It was) pretty competitive so it was good.”

(From a team confidence standpoint, how important was what you did last year at the end of the regular season preparing you for this spot?) – “It’s always … When you get a chance to have more than 11 guys actually playing games, it does a lot for confidence. Especially at the quarterback position, I’ve gotten to play with a lot of these guys with live bullets. It’s good. We’re just focused now on just getting better – all of us, whoever’s in there, getting better together and moving forward.”

(I know you always have to stay ready but how do you find that balance between staying in the present while also maybe having to prepare for being the starter?) – “I think I tell myself this is training camp and just take each day one day at a time and get better. Win the day and the future will handle itself. I’m just really focused on what we’re doing, what we’re focused on in camp and trying to get better that way.”

(Have you had a chance to talk to QB Ryan Tannehill at all?) – “I did, yes. He’s obviously waiting, like we all are. Nobody knows what’s going on, but he seems to be in good spirits. He was here watching tape yesterday with us and hanging out, so it was good.”

(What would you say to anybody who is wondering whether the Dolphins need to bring in another quarterback?) – “I would say I’m focused on training camp. I’m not really thinking about that. It’s a day-to-day thing for me right now and I’m focused on myself and the guys that are here right now.”
