Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Darren Rizzi
(I know it’s obviously week to week on personnel decisions, but did RB Senorise Perry do enough to where you think he’s your kickoff returner, at this point, moving forward?) – “Well what we’ve done is actually we’ve had a couple of guys back there together every week. It started off, before (Kenyan) Drake’s offensive role became bigger, he was back there with Drake. This past week, obviously Senorise was back there, really the last couple of weeks. Senorise is a guy that I’ve always had a high opinion of and I thought he did a really good job last week with his opportunities there. Jakeem (Grant) will continue to be back there as well, but it’ll really be a double-headed monster, if you will, and that’s kind of how we’ve been rolling. There’s been two guys back.”
(This is an unusual week where it’s supposed to be the bye and now you have a game. How do you feel like the coaching staff and the team overall has handled it from the beginning up until this week?) – “It’s been a whirlwind of a season for sure, but I think (Head Coach) Adam (Gase) has done a great job. We’re playing 16 games in a row and I think Adam’s done a great job understanding that, number one, with the schedule, with the players’ bodies, the rest, the recovery. For example, you can go back to our Thursday week, the time he gave them off afterwards, the extra time. I think he’s really been aware and cognizant of the players and that they have to play 16 games in a row. This week, obviously, coming off of a Monday game into a Sunday game and (we’re) treating this short week a little bit differently than we normally would. That’s been the biggest thing, knowing that the players have to go 16 in a row and what it does to them physically, just being aware and alert. There’s been not as much time off as they’d normally get. It’s definitely been an interesting situation, but it is what it is. (That was) the hand we were dealt, and we just deal with it.”
(How have you guys done with flipping field position so far this season?) – “That’s a multi-level question. There’s a lot of levels to it. You’ve got to look at the coverage aspect first, and I think in that aspect we’ve done very well, so far. That’s been one of our strengths in terms of guys covering on kicks, covering punts, effort, all of that stuff. I think that’s been really good. We’ve gotten our hands on a couple of punts and we’ve gotten our hands on a couple of field goals, which obviously changes field position. From the coverage game, the block game, I think that part has been our strength so far on special teams. I would like to have made more plays, certainly, in the return so far. I thought we may have taken a step forward last week in the kick return. Obviously, we didn’t have a lot of punt return opportunities last week; but it just comes down to a game-by-game thing, how many opportunities you’re going to get. It didn’t unfold that way last week. I think it’s been both. I think there’s been some things we’ve done really, really well, some things we want to improve on after looking back at nine games. I think the return part of it, we do want to set the table more for the offense when we can; but we have done a good job, like I said, of flipping the field in coverage.”
(RB Damien Williams seems to make plays every time he gets the ball in his hand on offense. Have you thought at all about putting him back there?) – “Yes, Damien’s a guy that any role we’ve ever given him since I’ve been here, he’s done well with. Whether it’s a little bit of offense, a lot of special teams or a lot of offense and a little bit of special teams, he seems to do very well with his role. He’s a great competitor. He’s one of the best competitors I’ve been around here in my time here, so you’re always looking to get him involved in anything and everything. That’s why he’s a guy that’s worn a lot of hats. He has been our kick returner in the past if you go back a couple of years. He’s part of the rotation back there and we work him in and it kind of depends. Last week, in the game, there was a point where we almost had him and (Kenyan) Drake back there depending on how the thing was going and how the rotation was going. Senorise (Perry) got dinged up for a minute, so (Damien’s) definitely part of the equation back there.”
(RB Damien Williams is a guy that’s been around forever. People forget that he was an undrafted guy. How did it come about, him ending up here, if you remember?) – “I don’t remember the specifics. All I remember is I know he had a situation at Oklahoma and then he went undrafted and all of that. I just remember from the first time, him coming out here the first couple of weeks, he flashed immediately as a guy that I thought, athletically could do a lot of different things. His toughness, he showed in that first preseason when he got here that he wasn’t afraid to block, tackle, cover and do all of those things. When you get a running back like that – an offensive player and specifically a running back – that can do those things and wear a lot of different hats, it certainly helps the special teams role, for sure.”
(You talked about the return game taking a step forward. What was it that you saw, tangibly, that made the difference or had you thinking positively?) – “I’ve mentioned this before, I think there’s been times where we’ve blocked well and maybe the returner wasn’t doing what he should do. There were times where the returner was on point and we missed the block. It just hasn’t meshed together, and I know that’s been a theme, maybe of our team, is the complementary football. I thought last week we were really on top of the game plan. They tried to kick it high and short to us a few times. I thought we did a great job of getting a hat on a hat, giving the returner a chance, and I thought Senorise (Perry) did a great job of getting downhill. He didn’t dance; he didn’t go sideways. He was really downhill, was very decisive, broke a tackle or two and the next thing you know, we’re out on the 28-yard line, not back on the 8. We know what a big difference it is when the offense goes out there and taking the field and you’re over the 25 as opposed to being back inside your 15. Whether it’s been a penalty or a missed block or a guy falling down, we’ve had a little bit of everything. It hasn’t been one thing where you’re like, ‘Wow, we’ve got to get better at that, it’s just one thing.’ We haven’t meshed it together. So I thought last week, our guys were really on point. I think we paid attention to the details, we were better technique-wise and Senorise did a good job. They really kicked away from Jakeem (Grant) last week. They kicked to Senorise every time. Maybe they were testing him; he hadn’t had a lot of reps. Whatever their game plan was, he answered the bell there, which I thought was positive.”
(Teams weren’t doing it earlier in the season and then they started to kick to WR Jakeem Grant. What can you do – obviously Jakeem is supposed to be the special teams specialist – what can you do to ensure that he gets the kickoff? Is there a fear of him running cross-field to field a kick to return it, as opposed to just letting RB Senorise Perry handle it?) – “Last week’s a great example. (Panthers kicker) Graham Gano’s a guy that we thought, going into the game, based on what he had done in the past, we really thought Jakeem was going to get more touches and they changed their entire game plan. (Gano’s) a guy that had kicked 39 out of 42 touchbacks – 39 touchbacks out of 42 attempts on the year – so we thought he was going to kick it out of the end zone, and the next thing you know, they bang four or five balls short. We’ve got to be ready for all of the situations. We go into the game maybe sometimes thinking Jakeem’s going to get touches or the other guy is going to get touches, and the other team, obviously, it’s a little bit of a chess match there, with them kicking it high and short to the corner. There was one that they almost kicked out of bounds. I can’t guarantee it, which is why, with the new rule and a lot of teams kicking it high and short, our number one job is keep the ball of the ground and make sure we field the football. That’s why we talked before about having two guys back there. Sometimes it is a deep guy and a short guy, sometimes it’s two deep guys. It depends on the team we’re playing, weather conditions and all of that. I’d love to sit here and tell you that I can guarantee Jakeem (will get the ball). I would love to say that Jakeem is going to get the ball three or four times in this game, but it’s not always (that easy), depending on what the other teams doing – their kicker and how they’re going to play it. It’s a little bit of a cat and mouse (game), for sure. There are some teams you look at in the NFL right now are kicking it high and short a lot of times, and there are other teams that aren’t. We’ve done a little bit of both. We’ve been about 50/50. We’re probably more down the middle there. There’s just no guarantees we can get (Jakeem) the ball, so we’ve got to take the opportunities and we’ve got to cash in when we do get them. There’s been a couple of times this year where we did get them and we had great looks and just didn’t cash in.”
(You’ve lost three in a row now by cumulatively not a small margin. Where do you put this team’s mindset right now?) – “You’ve got to go right back to what we’ve been doing all year. You’ve got to go right back to one game at a time. It’s easy to get lost in the past. It’s easy to get lost in the results of the last three weeks and it’s sometimes hard to keep perspective when those things happen. I think the one game mentality – the 1-0 – take care of this week (is the best approach). You look at where we are right now, where we sit in the AFC, you look at the big picture and we’re right in the middle of it. It’s a mindset. It’s a mentality you’re going to come to work with every day. Are you going to get lost in the fact that we came off of a tough loss this week or are you going to get back on the mindset of, ‘Hey, let’s take care of this game, let’s win at home, let’s get a W here and then we’re right back into the thick of things?’ That’s really how the AFC is playing out, and really the NFL is playing out that everybody (is close). There’s a lot of teams in the same position that we’re in, right in the middle of the pack. These next seven weeks are really going to determine a lot of different things. We’ve just got to take care of our in-house things, not worry about the outside things, and really just focus on one game. I know (Head Coach) Adam (Gase) has been preaching that from day one. It’s really the mindset, keeping the players’ perspective in that. What’s your approach going to be? Are you going to wallow in misery over the last three weeks and all of that or are you going to say, ‘Hey we’re going to get this one and we’re going to be right back in it and we’re going to have a positive approach.’ That’s our thing, our job as coaches, as well, is we’ve got to keep these guys positive and it’s been a really positive day today. I think we’re going to move forward and, again, keep that one game (at a time) approach.”

Head Coach Adam Gase
(After tape viewing, do you think effort was at all a question in the second half or do you think it was entirely an execution matter last night?) – “Really, effort is really hard to question with this group. They’re going to play hard. Sometimes the issue becomes other guys trying to cover for other guys – whether it be a mental mistake or guys just … Everybody starts trying to make a play and guys start getting out of their lanes, if you’re talking about defense, and then that’s where you see some of those big plays start occurring. Offensively, I just didn’t see that. I saw guys trying to find a way to get the ball in the end zone all the way to the end.”
(How do you turn this around?) – “Well, you know we’ve kind of taken our turns here on both sides of the ball. It would have been nice to start a little better early in the season. The defense probably wouldn’t have been on the field so much on offense and then now it’s kind of we’re flipping the script a little bit, which seems very similar to a little bit of what we did last year where our defense kind of got worn down there towards the end. We started having so many injuries that I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that they were playing so much football early in the season. This year, it’s kind of … We’ve stayed somewhat healthy. We just kind of lost our way just for a minute here and we just had to really re-group and get things back on track. It’s going to be about guys just really focusing on doing everything they can to prepare right, to practice right, and then when we hit Sunday, to execute the right way.”
(Now the losses you had in preseason can’t be understated. This is not to make excuses – obviously QB Ryan Tannehill, CB Tony Lippett, LB Raekwon McMillan, LB Koa Misi – all that being said, do you think that you and the front office might have overestimated how much talent you have on this year’s team off of 10-6 and off some free agent moves?) – “I don’t think so. I feel good about the group we have out there. We just have some things that we’ve got to clean up to where we don’t put ourselves in position to where games get out of hand. And that can happen in the NFL sometimes where an 8-minute stretch can all of a sudden make a close game just completely flip the switch, and we just have to do a better job of battling back when things don’t quite go as planned. At the end of the half, that’s a pretty tight game and we (have) a turnover, they get a touchdown, they get the ball back and get another touchdown, now all of sudden you go from having a 7-3 game to … It gets tougher when you’re going against the No. 1 defense when you put yourself behind by that much. We just have to find that way to play a little better complementary football. That’s really what we’ve been missing this year.”
(A couple of weeks ago you talked about players not necessarily retaining assignments because they weren’t studying them too much to begin with. Have you seen improvement in that regard?) – “Yes. Yes, especially on offense. I’ve seen a big difference and I see guys that not only are they doing a better job of knowing what to do, they’re doing a better job of executing it. There’s some plays here and there where I wish we’d be able to make, whether it be get a block made, get a throw made, get a catch made – be a little more detailed on a route; but a lot of times those are heat of the moment type actions that happens in. You’re not going to be 100 percent across the board every play as far as winning one-on-one battles. If that was the case, this game would be a lot easier. For the most part though, I do see guys that made big strides since a couple of weeks ago.”
(You guys have gotten off to bad starts going back to last year and now you’re averaging 4.3 points in the first half of games. What is it going to take for the offense to get off to a faster start or not put all the pressure into the second half?) – “I felt like we had a couple of good chances in the first half. We just didn’t get it done. That first drive we had where we get a third-down conversion and we get a good third-and-5, I think Jay (Cutler) had a chance to run it. He also saw Jarvis (Landry) with a lot of … He felt like there was a lot of green grass there and the ball sailed on him a little bit. Those plays, if we can figure out a way to just make that play, we’re at midfield or we got another first down, so we got another set of downs. If we can just get those one or two plays to stay on the field to give us a chance across the 50, I feel like we’ve been in pretty good shape when we get in the red zone. Our guys, they’re executing it really well. We just need to get the red zone more.”
(With the offense, last year you had more explosive plays. This year, you’ve gotten two good runs from RB Kenyan Drake; but where is the element of hitting teams with the big play?) – “Yes, that team last night, that’s a tough team to throw the ball down the field on. One, you’ve got a good rush. Two, they don’t play aggressive at corner. You’re going to get an occasional press here and there, but the percentages say they’re going to play off and they’re going to make you drive the field. That’s the history of that defense. They’re going to create pressure, blitz you and make you get the ball out quick. You can hold onto it, but you’re going to have third-and-12, third-and-15, and the whole goal for us last night was to make sure we were third-and-5 or less, and put ourselves in position to where we can convert on first down and keep drives alive. They were going to try to make you score through the goal line. They don’t give up a ton of big plays. That’s why they’re the No. 1 defense in football. If you want to push the ball down the field, you’re going to have a lot more bad results than you’re going to have good ones. The way you’ve got to play it is you’ve got to take what they give you and when you do get an opportunity, like Jay (Cutler) … We had a chance on a post. They were playing a coverage against a concept that we had and that’s what it afforded, and we missed it. Next thing we know, we’re third-and-10. You have to play what the defense is going to give you sometimes. You can try to force it, but you’re not going to have the results you want.”
(What common thread do you see on defense the last three weeks?) – “I think we’re probably overcompensating in certain spots where guys are trying to cover for other guys. It’s biting us a little bit, where we’ve just got to get back to the basics and fundamentals. Every guy do their job. That’s the hardest thing about defense is when you do have as many playmakers as we have, which we do – we have guys that are good in that front seven – and when things start getting a little leaky, somebody’s going to try to step up and make a play. That’s the good and part of defense. When you make the play it’s a good thing, and then you make the correction; but when they miss a play then it’s an explosive (play). We’ve just got to get back to guys doing their job, everybody staying on the same page and understanding that it takes 11 of them to do it right. It’s hard to have six, seven guys doing it right and then other guys just trying to make plays. We’ve got to just tighten it up and make sure our veteran players are doing a good job of being the guys that are the most consistent down in and down out.”
(You spoke after the Baltimore game about possibly personnel changes from within. Obviously, there’s not a lot out there on the waiver wire. Are you still considering that, because you have a few guys on the team, primarily young, who haven’t played a lot, or do you think these are the guys you’re going to go with that are playing now?) – “Yes, I think we’re always going to look at where everybody’s at physically, mentally, if somebody is not playing even close to the level we need them playing at and see if there’s any kind of adjustment you can make. The majority of the time, it’s hard because you only have so many guys. If we feel like there’s somewhere we need to make a move to make us better, we’ll do it; but I don’t really see us reaching to just do something to just drop a bomb on everybody. We’re looking for, ‘Who are the best 11 guys to play for that game, for that series, for that quarter, whatever it is to help us win?’”
(I know every game is important. Do you look at this right now as a crucial juncture of the season?) – “I think any time you get to this part of the season, really the games magnify. It’s hard to put an emphasis on one game over the other. I guess I’ve just had so many different seasons over the years where I’ve heard that, and then all of the sudden, something happens, it doesn’t go as planned and then, all of the sudden, you rattle off the rest of your games. So really, what we talked about was irrelevant. You just keep playing it one week at a time and trying to find a way to get better from the week before and clean things up and focus on that one game. If you start focusing on two, three, four games ahead of schedule, you’re just going to get in trouble. You’re occupying your mind with something you don’t have to worry about.”
(How would you assess the offensive line play last night?) – “There was a lot more good than bad. That was a tough front. That’s a tough front seven. That defense is playing about as well as you can play. That was probably one of our better games that we’ve actually played. We just couldn’t make the right play at the right time. I think I said that last night, where we need a third-down conversion on that first drive to keep us going. We’re in the position we want to be in, we’re third-and-5, and we don’t get it. It’s really going for both sides of the ball. When we need to have something to match the other side, we’re not getting it right now. If we get that figured out, then we’re going to see some different results.”
(With RB Kenyan Drake, two back-to-back weeks where he’s produced big runs. Is there any universal, underlying theme there in terms of what he’s doing right or what the offensive line is doing right or a different kind of run?) – “I think the guys knew on that particular play that he had this last game, where we made a big emphasis of if we got into that situation, they were very aggressive. We felt like we had seen enough on tape to where if we did get in that situation and got that play called, if we blocked that, that it was going to have a chance to get to the second level and it was going to be him and the safety. The guys blocked it really well and gave him a lot of room to get through that hole and it’s his job to make that safety miss. With his speed, it’s hard to figure out which direction he’s going to go. That was just one of those ones where everybody was just on high alert. They knew exactly what they were going to get. They knew they were going to get some form of pressure, they didn’t know exactly what it was going to be, but if everybody was on the right angles then we were going to have a shot for a big play. It was the same thing the week before. He had been saying the whole week when we were repping that play, he said, ‘I’m going to get to the secondary on this play, I know it.’ We ran it four or five times and when he finally did, it was a big play for us.”
(Do you think it will be a challenge this week to keep the group upbeat and engaged after three pretty dispiriting losses?) – “No, this group is pretty good at moving on. I think the coaching staff, too. That’s our job and we’ve got a lot of time left, a lot of ball left. I don’t know if you guys kind of pay attention to the rest of the league, but it’s not like anyone’s running away with anything. It’s a total disaster everywhere. Unless you’re … There’s about two teams where everybody is all happy. Everywhere else it’s misery.”
(What about CB Xavien Howard, with the game he had last night? What in his makeup would give you confidence that he can bounce back and forget some of the …?) – “(He’s) a short-term memory guy. He’s not going to worry about what happened on his last throw. I know the touchdown that they had, the last one, there’s not many guys that are going to defend that, because that was a really well-run route – the guy did a great job of keeping his speed – and that was as good of back shoulder fade as I’ve seen, because that thing was on a rope. That was the perfect throw, a perfect route and a well-executed play. To me, that’s the job of a corner. You’d better have short-term memory. If you’re not getting beat, you’re not playing. I mean it’s going to happen. It’s very rare you’re going to see corners that never have gotten beat. The best ones have. He’s a good player and he’s going to keep playing hard and he’s going to play tight coverage and when you’re a young player, as long as you don’t lose confidence, you’re eventually going to make those plays because you’re going to get more experience.”

RE: The most yardage Carolina has had, your thoughts on what happened out there?
I am lost honestly. To me it’s not even just about the game, it’s losing, doing things that’s obvious and knowing what we know how to do. We stop the run most often, more days than not. We usually get after the quarterback, we do a lot of things well, normally; and those things tonight we didn’t do well. It would be one thing if we were always giving up yards like that or always dropping the ball or miscommunicating or doing whatever but it’s frustrating when you don’t do the things you do well, well.
RE: What’s the difference between this football team this year and the football team from last year?
The thing I am trying to figure out is, you look at certain games that we have had and we have been in tough situations, but we fight our way out from situations that maybe most people wouldn’t have thought we could. We’ve had some come-from-behind fourth quarter rallies and so on and so forth; and then we have had some games when we were just weren’t in the game. That’s the thing that blows my mind, is the same team that does this in my mind shouldn’t be the same team that is does this. Those two teams should be separate but the consistence is kind of baffling honestly. To me the only way I know how to fix it is to dig in and work harder. I feel like hard work always pays off no matter what. We just have to get back to the old school, grind it out and figure out a way to have that team, the Atlanta team, that team back in it. This isn’t acceptable, this is unacceptable to me.
RE: Can you get back to being that team that is there in the fourth quarter, there with a chance to win?
We have to and especially a game like this. I look at it like, offense did their job, they put points on the board, we as a defense have to show up. I’ve always been the type of guy to put it on our backs, let’s come down to the last play, put us on the field and we’ll get a stop and take the win and go home; but you have to be in the position to even have that happen and that comes from stopping the run, getting after the quarterback, getting off the field, getting offense the ball back. First quarter, second quarter, third quarter can’t just be ok fourth quarter and run a rally and hopefully close games out. We have to play consistently; this inconsistency is the thing that is killing us. Like you said we have to get back to being that team that does the things well that we did well in the first half of the season. The last few games it hasn’t been that way.

RE: Emotions after the game
Disappointed, especially the way that we just overall played throughout that game. We didn’t get off the field when we needed to get off the field, obviously on third downs, especially jumping off sides, we had some undisciplined plays, but at the end of the day we just have to find ways to get off the field.
RE: What do you think are some of the biggest reasons that Carolina was able to have so much success running the ball?
I think it was execution and tackling. At the end of the day we just didn’t tackle. Obviously they have great backs. Running backs can break a lot of tackles but we have to gang tackle. We have to find ways to [inaudible] and get off the field.

RE: Describe interception
We got the coverage we wanted. They just pushed a little bit, and I have to lay it out there a little more. It was a bad ball by me, and it put us in a bad spot.
RE: Decision not to go to the half
We felt good – we made a good call there. I just have to make a better play.
RE: How do the Dolphins regain their confidence
There is a lot of football left. The pieces are in the locker room, I truly believe that. I have been around a lot of good teams, there is a lot of good guys and a lot of good talent in there. We just have to get back to work, it is really the only thing we can do.
RE: Offensive struggles
I will have to go back and watch the film. We did some good things. We have to play better, that starts in the first half. We have to keep from putting our defense in bad spots.
RE: Panthers Defense
They are a really good defense. They did not really do anything that surprised us, just made plays.

He was out there making plays, that’s all I can say. It was tough to stop the run, especially Cam. Then he would make passes… so we’ve just got to go back to the playbook.
RE: Frustrated with Cam Newton celebrating
No. You’ve just got to come out there and have fun. It’s football. You’ve just got to come out and have fun. You’ve just got to play the game.

RE: Dolphins defensive performance
What is on the paper doesn’t define who we are. It does not reflect who we are – what kind of team we are. We just have to come back, fix the mistakes, and get it going.
RE: Dolphins defense
There is no way we should give up 350 yards with the players we have, let alone 550. We just have to go back to work, and it will be fixed for sure.
RE: Mood after giving up five-straight touchdown drives
Like I said, we will get it fixed. It was just another frustrating night. The coaches will figure out how to get it fixed, and us players will have to execute. We just need to fix the things that need to be fixed.

RE: Thoughts on the game
I felt like we moved the ball pretty good on this football team. This team has a really good defense. Obviously, we didn’t put up enough points to win the football game. We’ve just got to play better team football. Whenever our offense is playing good we’ve just got to play better in all three phases. If we can find a way to do that we’ll put together a good game.

We’re good. You’ve just got to regroup. We still control our own destiny. It’s just we’ve got to win these kinds of football games. It’s the 2nd half of the season and we can’t lose these kinds of games. We just put ourselves in a deeper hole, but we’re going to keep continuing to work hard and we’re going to get us a win next week.
RE: Kenyan Drake touchdown run
That was nice. They lined up in a really funky defense and Kenyan found his way through and hit a long run. It really helped our offense out a lot. At that point we thought we were going to be able to get back in the football game. It didn’t work out the way we thought it was going to work out.
RE: Has offense been better
I think so. We’re putting drives together. We’re not just going three and out. At the end of the day we’ve still got to stay on the field longer and keep our defense off the field, but I feel like we’re headed in the right direction in our offense.
