S Nate Allen

(What’s the key to your longevity and just doing it year after year?) – “Probably taking care of my body. I’ve got to give the good Lord thanks for keeping me healthy. I’ve been blessed to play for … this is going on eight (years) so yes, it’s been a blessing. Taking care of the body, that’s about it.”

(How difficult has this injury been for you to work your way back?) – “I’ve had some injuries before. The hamstrings and stuff like this, it wasn’t really anything that kind of set me back mentally. I just did what I had to do and it wasn’t too long of a process.”

(What were you emotions coming back here today?) – “Yes, like I was telling them, it was nostalgia. It brought back a lot of memories even when I pulled into downtown, just remembering, going, staying down there near some places you used to eat. It was good. I told them when I looked back, it was just was a great experience for me.”

(Is there any memory or two that sticks out on this field, coming out here today?) – “Not necessarily one. Five years, there was a lot of stuff happened out here. A lot of ups and downs. Yes, it was good though.”

(What are you better at now than when we saw you as an Eagle? What makes you a better player now?) – “I’m just wiser (and) more mentally in-tune to the game. I’ve just seen a lot now and I feel like I’ve been through different situations and just about every situation you probably can be in. So wisdom, probably.”

(How close have you followed the Eagles since you left?) – “Not closely, but I mean they’re on ESPN. You look and see, and I still talk to a few of the guys here every now and then; but not too many.”

(How is it going in Miami since you got there? Do you feel like you’re fitting in?) – “Yes, yes. Everything’s been good. (We’re) just building the chemistry and hopefully when the regular season rolls around, we’ll just hit the ground rolling.”

(The secondary’s undergone a lot changes obviously.) – “That’s kind of … There’s always change that happens around the league. We’ve got a good group of guys. We’ve got a lot of … a good combination of older guys and younger guys. So it’s a good combination.”
