Postgame – Atlanta

G Michael Deiter (transcribed by Anthony Gutierrez)

(Was stepping on the field as you pictured it – being from college and jumping into a professional sport and playing at Hard Rock Stadium?) – “It was awesome. I’ve played here before in college, and now I’ve played here as a pro. It’s awesome. It’s super fun to play here. It’s just – whenever you get to step onto a field there is always that feeling of, ‘man I’m glad I get to do this.’ It’s super fun. You just kind of smell it. There’s like a smell when you get to play football again. It’s comforting.”

(What was your anticipation like coming to this game and what do you think of your performance?) – “I was excited – super excited just to play football again and hit someone who doesn’t play for the Dolphins. I thought I did OK. There’s definitely some stuff I could clean up. Some good, some bad, but it wasn’t all bad and it wasn’t all good. There’s some stuff I can get better with and that’s all I can do is just focus on getting better, but I’m doing all right.”

(Can you put into words what type of strides you guys have made as a unit and how much still needs to be done?) – “We’ve come a long way, and like you said we have a ton more to do. Especially me and Shaq (Calhoun) being rookies – there’s a lot that we can clean up. We were not perfect at all and, we’ve got to get there. I think the other guys – the vets – are doing a really job of bringing us along, and I think that we are the two that have to kind of pick it up because we are rookies. There is a lot we don’t know, and there is a lot we have to learn and we are doing a good job of getting there but we are not there yet at all. We have a lot more to do, which is good. If we can get better and this is our starting point, then we’ve got to be happy with that, but we’ve got to get better.”
