RB Myles Gaskin

(Head Coach Brian Flores told us today that the team needs to run the ball more. What do you think when you hear that?) – “Just take that as a challenge for the running back room and when we get our opportunities, do well with them and excel. When you hear that from the coach, it just motivates you.”

(You’re somebody who’s always had good hands out of the backfield, but you seem to be fighting the ball a little bit on Sunday. Anything you can put your finger on? Or does that mean more time on the JUGS this week?) – “More time on the JUGS. Just got to have a better mindset. I had a hard day, had a rough day. Not catching the ball, a lot of drops. Just got to keep working on it, focus on it, don’t take the little things for granted about catching the ball and all that type of stuff. Not trying to worry about making a play after you catch the ball, just have to lock in on catching the ball.”

(Why do you think the team has not had the consistency in the run game that you would like to have?) – “I’m not sure. Just kind of the way the games have gone. We’ve been in different situations at different times and with those types of situations, you have to do other things. We like our RPO. I think Tua (Tagovailoa), I think Jacoby (Brissett) was really good at it. Just making those decisions because if there is another guy in the box, you’re just setting yourself up for failure sometimes at times. But when you can hit Mike (Gesicki), Jaylen (Waddle) and guys like that out in space, that’s a great thing to have.”

(What are you seeing out of defenses? Are they showing the run game any respect for you guys or are they not?) – “Yeah, definitely. I think every team respects every other team’s run game, sometimes a little bit more. I wouldn’t say that they don’t respect our run game at all.”
