Mike McDaniel – August 19, 2023 (Halftime) Download PDF version

Head Coach Mike McDaniel on CBS Miami Broadcast

(You mentioned yesterday you wanted to get some of the butterflies out. The team had a little bit of a rough start there out of the gate. How did you like the response?) – “Well, that’s everything you’re looking for. I was obviously not happy with an extreme commitment to coaching points and adversity was an opportunity, but first play since December (Tua Tagovailoa) throws a pick, defense gets the team back. We start second-and-long next series (and) have a 15-play drive. Defense, I thought, gave up some yardage they didn’t want to, but when push came to shove, they kept them out of the end zone which is what they do. We’re getting better which is the point, but we have a whole half left to continue that process and that’s what I’m looking forward to.”

(I know you emphasize the run game a lot. What did you like out of that group? 140 yards on the ground there in that first half.) – “I think a lot of guys make plays in the run game. It’s something – Year 2 for us is a big difference. I think there’s been a substantial commitment by all coaches and players, so it’s cool to see them be rewarded for a half.”
