Miami Dolphins DE Charles Harris (transcribed by Jason D. Silver)
(What do you feel like right now that you need most improvement on overall?) – “Just continue to learn the game. Continue to watch film. Continue to really learn. Learn from DE Cam (Wake), learn from (Andre) Branch, learn from William (Hayes) and all of them guys. They kept telling me to keep my head up and that’s what I did throughout the game. Of course it’s being patient. Being patient on the field, outside of the field, at practice and things like that. Just working on my craft and learning how to be a pro.”
(What’s it like to have your first sack come at a critical point in a clutch part of the game) – “Like I just said it’s natural. Been training all through training camp all through practice, things like that. When you make it a habit on a daily basis it just happens. I just thank the lord. I don’t care if it would have came the last play of the game. It came when it came. It came at a big time. I just thank God that I was able to keep my head in the game the entire time. He is teaching me patience. Teaching me patience, and keep continuing to work hard. Continue to work hard throughout the week. Continue to work on my craft.”
(You got around that tackle awfully awfully quick. Was it just you beat him of the snap?) – “Well the whole game he was chipping me. All game they kept on setting different formations trying to confuse me. But like I said listen to coach T, listen to the game plan. He told me to get outside, just get off the ball…that’s the reason why they brought me here, to get off the ball and get sacks so that’s what I did. Stuck to the fundamentals and I did a good job.”

Miami Dolphins LB Kiko Alonso (transcribed by Savanna Bell-Stevens & Armando Gonzalez)
(Was this your finest performance as a Dolphin, do you think?) – “I don’t know.”
(What do you think of the defensive performance as a whole?) – “I think that it was good. Obviously, it was good to score, it was our first score. I thought it was good.”
(Take us through that play when [S Reshad] Jones scored. I know you had a part in that play.) – “They didn’t block me, so I just tried to make a play and luckily it was a fumble, and Reshad finished it off.
(Did you know I was a live ball the whole time or were you not sure?) – “No I didn’t know. I just tried to hit as hard as I could.”
(Given how the offense was having to fight for every first down and every point, how good does it feel for the defense to come through the way it did today?) – “It just feels good to get the W. It’s hard to win and it feels good to come out with a W.”
(Cuál es la sensación después de ganar un juego importante en casa?) – “Es difícil ganar en esta liga y cuando ganes es emocionado todo.”
(Cuentanos un poquito de esa jugada espectacular en que [S Reshad Jones anotó] un touchdown.) – “No me bloquearon. Asi lo dicen? (Risa) No me bloquearon entonces quería darle duro.”
(Le diste duro.) – “Ya tu sabe. [risa]”
(Como se siente una victoria así que han peleado casi todo el partido para conseguir la victoria? Como se siente ganar un partido tan fuerte?) – “Se siente muy bien cuando ganas en esta liga, porque es muy difícil. Vamos a disfrutar esta victoria, pero tenemos que seguir trabajando para Atlanta.”

Miami Dolphins Linebacker Rey Maualuga (transcribed by Lexie Balboni)
(How pleased are you with how things went for you today?) – “I feel good. I feel good. I’m still trying to adjust to this heat. I don’t think it’s going to be overnight, and I’ve only been here for a month. I felt good to finally get out there and play. January 2nd was my last game that I played in. But it felt great. Obviously, it felt great to have the ‘W’ and just going to continue to work on my craft and hopefully get better and try to continue to help this team, make some plays and win some games.”
(As a unit is there a conscious decision that the defense has to create opportunities when the offense is struggling to put points on the board?) – “Obviously, we can’t control what they do, so I think our mindset – with (Defensive Coordinator) Coach (Matt) Burke and his philosophy is just control what we can control and be the best group that we can be and eventually, hopefully all we need is a field goal or we just need some points on that board. If we don’t let the other team score, then we win. It’s not like we’re taking the pressure off the offense or anything. We’re just going to continue to try and expand and see how good of a unit we can be. I think every week – with a good week of practice and all these older folks on this defense – I think we can lead by example and hopefully be the best unit in the league. I don’t know. We’re just taking it one game at a time and trying to see where we go.”

Miami Dolphins Linebacker Lawrence Timmons (transcribed by Lexie Balboni)
(What is the key to forcing so many turnovers in general?) – “Like I said we have to play together and we have to depend on each other, everyone on one accord and listen to the coaches and gradually get better that’s all.
(What additions did Rey Maualuga make to that linebacker unit?) – “He gives us attitude, he’s a physical player. You can tell with our defense we want to be physical and detailed with our assignments. We just want to be aggressive out there and depend on each other.
(When defensive coordinator [Matt] Burke blitz you, or LB Kiko [Alonso] or S Reshad [Jones] it seems like that could be pretty affective. How do you feel about the skill set relative to blitz from you guys?) – “I feel like the sky is the limit for us. We’re still trying to get to know each other and it’s early in the season. We see where we are going, we’re building. We’re trying to gradually build up right now. It’s a long season we have plenty of room to grow.”

Miami Dolphins Center Mike Pouncey (transcribed by Ryan Murphy)
(It’s exciting to get a win, but on the other hand the offense was having to fight, scratch and claw.) – “Yes, we’ve got to figure it out on the offensive side of the ball to help our defense out. It’s always great to get a win in this league, but you know how we’ve been playing these last three weeks is unacceptable. We’re not going to beat any teams playing like that.”
(What did you think of that defensive performance?) – “I think they did a good job. They did a good job, but it’s more us. I feel like we had them blocked up the whole game and just one guy was off, so it’s more us. We’ve got to fix us first before we worry about anybody else.”
(On the mental errors happening on offense…) – “Well, I haven’t looked at the film yet today. I’m focused on doing my job out there. I’ll look at the film, but the last two weeks that’s what it’s been. We’ve got ten guys doing the right thing and one guy off, and it just messes everything up, and it’s not the same guys, it’s all over the football field. We’ll get it figured out. It’s early in the football season, but it’s what we didn’t expect in our second year in this offense.”

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Adam Gase (transcribed by Michelle Stone)
(Coach, you can certainly look at this game as a win’s a win…defensively, I don’t know how much you could say about those guys because obviously they controlled this game from start to finish.) – “They did a great job. It was nice that someone could score points. That was really impressive to see, how they just came out and decided they were going to dominate the game and they did. That’s what we’re looking for every week.”
(The elephant in the room is the offense – their inability to get first downs, convert on third down, and it looked like it was really a struggle all day out there for Jay [Cutler, QB]. What did it look like from where you were standing?) – “If guys would do their jobs, catch the ball, block the right guys, give the quarterback a chance to do something…Jay’s way down on the list of things going wrong.”
(This is kind of a redundant question, but how do you get this offense in synch?) – “If guys would do what they’re supposed to do, we’ll be all right. If guys keep not doing the right things, getting beat, not catching the ball, fumbling the ball, it’s not going to work.”
(How optimistic are you about turning things around?) – “We don’t have a choice. We have to.”
(If they continue to have the same problems week after week, we’ve talked about changes before – is that something you have to consider?) – “I don’t know where we’re going to go.”
(The fans were chanting for [QB] Matt Moore to enter the game. What’s your feeling about that?) – “That’s fine. They chanted for Matt Moore last year when we played against Tennessee. I’ll make the decision on quarterback. We’re not going to take public polls.”
(Are the offensive lines’ issues more not carrying assignments or just being beat? What’s wrong with the offensive line?) – “It’s some good, some bad. It’s both. One one time, one another time. Do they have a good defensive line? Yes. But we’re better than what we’re putting out there right now.”
(Do you feel better about the offense now than you did a week ago? Or is it still in kind of the same area?) – “There’s little things you can take from it. There’s times we’re open and we just don’t finish the play. We get the ball there…there’s a couple of times where Jay got out of the pocket and was making a good play and then we don’t finish the play. Guys got to make plays at the end of the day. We can keep scaling back the offense all we want, but it doesn’t matter. You’ve got to make plays.”
(Adam, this was the first game with [LB Rey] Maualuga, [LB Lawrence] Timmons, and Kiko [Alonso, LB] – how did they do, especially Kiko who seemed very active?) – It looked like they did well to me. It’s nice to see those guys out there because you don’t see a lot of missed tackles. Once they make contact, that’s it.
(Can you talk about [S] Reshad Jones and how he had a nose for the ball today and how he was on that play that nobody realized was a fumble?) – “The one thing about Reshad that you just notice right from the get go today was that he was all business today. He absolutely… You could tell he had a fire about him right from the time he walked into the locker room. Hearing him talking in the background, I knew he was going to be effective today and he went out there and he backed his talk up, what he was saying in the locker room, and he played an unbelievable game.”
(On that particular play it seemed like a lot of guys froze because the ball went twenty yards. Did you realize that it actually was a fumble?) – “Everything was happening so fast. We’re making adjustments, then you look up and see the ball go, and you see him go, and you’re trying to… Did anybody hear a whistle? That’s the biggest thing, will somebody accidentally blow a whistle in that case, the play’s dead. But the officials, over time, figured it out. You’re almost better letting it go if you’re not sure, because it’s a replay.”
(What do you know about [WR DeVante] Parker’s injury right now?) – “I’ll know more tomorrow, but obviously him not coming back into the game…we’ll see what it’s going to turn out to [be] next week.”
(When the offense did get going it seemed as though Jay was really locked into Jarvis [Landry, WR]. Can you talk about the connection that they had?) – “We were just trying to figure out if we could get him the ball and if he could run for extra yards. They were playing the run pretty hard, and just being able to get the ball out quick. Even when we were getting to them, we still got too much pressure in the face, missed assignments, and guys leaking through the line of scrimmage. We’ve got to clean a lot up.”
(What was your approach with the players today with regards to the National Anthem?) – “It was a decision made that we were going to stand and guys who didn’t want to stand, stayed back in the locker room.”
(It was a decision made by who?) – “I did.”
(Have you scaled back on the offense?) – “We have. Every week.”
(Dramatically?) – “Yes.”
(Adam, I know you pointed to other parts of the Dolphins breaking down. Particularly with Jay, how would you evaluate his performance?) – “I don’t know. He can’t throw it and run out there and catch it. We had five drops. They were going to be twelve to fifteen to twenty yard plays. I don’t know what else we can do.”
(RB [Jay] Ajayi averaged just three yards a carry, but given the fact that the defense linemen were at the line of scrimmage waiting to hit him – is that a good day in terms of production?) – “Yes. Some of it was good, some of it wasn’t good – the fumble, obviously is unfortunate. It was hard to see. I saw the replay up on the board. You just can’t have that happen. That’s one of the things we count on him with the amount of time he carries the ball, make sure ball security is 100%. It was one of those days where they were playing the run so hard, maybe we should have went to play action sooner. There’s a couple of times where we tried to earlier in the game, but things just broke down quick.”
(What is the mood in the locker room? What is the mood of the team right now? Is there a feeling of desperation?) – “No, I don’t think so. We just got done with the first quarter and we are two-and-two. Last year I don’t even think we were close to that. A win’s a win. I know I must have missed a column that says style points next to the win, so we’ll go back, we’ll correct it, and we’ll get better. That’s really what we’ve got to do.”
(As far as the touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, what went right? You seemed to have some success with the stop routes and things like that.) – “We did what we were supposed to do. It’s not hard. This is not a hard sport to play. Do what you are supposed to do and you’ll have success.”

Head Coach Adam Gase
(Obviously you guys have been doing well against the run so far this season, but when you face a physical challenge like this in terms of the offensive line and the two physical backs that Tennessee has, does it give you a good gauge of where you are as a team?) – “Absolutely. This is where we’ll find out really where we’re at because there is no hiding from those two guys. Whether, with the quarterback, if (Marcus Mariota is) in there, that adds an extra dimension. It makes it really tough because of the gap responsibilities. It’s just going to be one of those games where we just have to be very sound. We have to play team defense. We have to do a good job of tackling. If it is one-on-one, we’ve got to get the guy down and give ourselves another chance. This will be probably our toughest test so far.”
(Titans QB Marcus Mariota was listed as a game-time decision. You spoke a little earlier about the challenge of preparing for two quarterbacks but how did you go about that during the week?) – “You have to prepare for both. You have to talk about both of them and that’s what makes it tough. You have to put the time in. Normally you spend the entire week worrying about one guy, and especially when you have two guys that are extremes, you’ve got to put the time in. There’s no other way to put it. You’ve got to use your practice reps wisely and do extra film study and just make sure that you’re prepared for both.”
(Do you create two game plans defensively?) – “There’s things that you can do on certain calls to put yourself in position of if it’s one quarterback, here’s how you’re going to play it. If it’s the other guy, this is how you’re going to play it. You don’t necessarily create two game plans but you have some options for one guy over the other.”
(Would you feel comfortable putting a quarterback out there without mobility? Because I know some don’t have mobility to begin with but…) – “A mobile guy that’s hurt, you’re saying?”
(Yes.) – “I’ve done it before. You’re worried about it because you’re … And then you try to call the game appropriately. When Jay (Cutler) pulled his hamstring in 2015, and he was moving around a lot that year and we had a lot of success there, I was trying to be careful of what I called to not force him outside the pocket and things like that, because you just didn’t want to make it worse.”
(What is your sweet spot for RB Kenyan Drake? What would be the ideal role for him?) – “I think the ideal role for him is, and this is what we’re always going to be striving for with him, is we want him to stay where he’s at on special teams and get better, which he’s done a really good job there. There are a lot of plays that you don’t realize he’s being impactful, because he might not necessarily make the tackle or he might not block the punt – all of those little things – or get a return; but he’s been positive in all of those areas on special teams. On offense, you’d love him to be a backup first- and second-down back. He has really good running skills and he has the ability to run routes and catch the ball out of the backfield. He has the ability in empty (sets) to flex him out and run multiple routes. What happens is sometimes when you’re a younger player and you’re not playing and you’re not in the game, it’s hard to learn as the season goes on. You can run as many scout team reps as you can, but that’s not the same as getting reps in practice. Our Thursdays or Wednesdays with him have been ways for him to get better because when Jay (Ajayi) doesn’t practice, he’s taking the majority of the reps. That’s good for him because it’s just one more thing he’s putting in his brain of he’s done it before. When we have all of those backs going and Jay (Ajayi) wants to get those reps in training camp, (Drake) kind of gets put to the backburner there where, as a young player, you really don’t want to do that because you want him to get those reps. The last two weeks have been really good for him because Jay (Ajayi) has missed a practice and he’s had to take the majority of the work.”
(You’re obviously coming off two very difficult games and now that you’ve had a full week of practice to see how the team is responding, what have you seen this week in practice?) – “I’ve seen a lot of guys put their head down and work. Really, at the end of the day, that’s the only way offensively that you can get yourself out of, for whatever reason, the funk that we were in the last two games. The only way that you can pull yourself out of it is that you know what do, are able to play fast and then on game day, you have to execute under pressure.”
(How personal do you think the offense line is taking their struggles so far considering they were kind of the catalyst last year that got this thing going?) – “I think you look at the guy that leads the room. It’s going to start with him and he takes everything personal. He wants us to be a top rushing team. (Mike) Pouncey I’m talking about. He wants us to be one of the best rushing teams in football. He’s not satisfied with any kind of leakage in protection. I think the standard starts with him. The best thing about him is he’s probably playing his best ball right now and he’s graded out the last three games off the charts. If there’s one guy I can say that’s played good in every game, it’s been him. I think it starts with him and then it has to trickle down to the rest of those guys and really at the end of the day it has to be about, we just need to play fast, don’t think, react, and really it starts with the weekly preparation and knowing your job and being able to do that.”
(It looks like CB Xavien Howard practiced for the second straight day. How do you feel about his chances?) – “We’ve got a good chance but it’s just … We’re still a little ways from the game. You just never if tomorrow, what if he’s not feeling right, or the next day. So we’ll see how it goes. I’ll know more by probably tonight and then tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I’ll probably have a better idea.”
(Now LB Rey Maualuga, he’s probably been the most optimistic person ever in Dolphins history; but he knows for sure he’s playing. He’s working with this first team. Is he closer to getting there?) – “I think he’s in good shape. I think today was good for him because Wednesday wasn’t as hot, because it rained. We had cloud cover today. It was a little more like it’s going to be (during a game) and I think it was good for him to go through that, and it seems like he feels good and we’ll just keep taking it day by day. I’m excited. If we get the chance that he’s out there and we can get him playing, this is probably a really good week for him to be playing.”
(What do you see from the Titans defense from the struggles against Houston to how they’ll try to bounce back this week?) – “You just have to look at the game by … Every game has a different story and that’s why us scoring 0 points, you never know what’s going to happen in the next week. It’s the same thing with them. I’m sure they’re not real satisfied with how it went last week and they’ll be ready to go. They’ll probably feel confident coming in here after what they did to us last year and that front is a tough front to block and they know it. We’re a different challenge for them than what the last team they played. When you have a Hall of Fame coach as your defensive coordinator (Dick LeBeau) and you have a lot of talented players, they’ll be ready go.”
(But someone hung 57 on the Titans. Doesn’t that say something about them?) – “It happens. It happens sometimes. Sometimes you get shutout. Not often, but it happens.”
(With LB Rey Maualuga’s style, is it because of his style that this is a good matchup for him?) – “I mean you’ve got two physical backs and he’s a physical player. I’ve played against him enough to know that people know where he’s at. He’s a guy that can … He tackles well and when he hits you, you know it.”

DE Cameron Wake
(Head Coach Adam Gase was saying yesterday what a great job you’ve done setting the edge, not only doing it on your own in the run game, but showing others how to do it as well. Is this as well, do you think, as you’ve played the run? You’ve played the run well in the past, but is this, do you think, as well as you’ve done it?) – “What do you mean? I’m a pass rusher. I don’t play the run. (laughter)”
(Well, it’s something that’s asked of you as a starter for years. Is this as well as you’ve done it?) – “I’ve played a lot of snaps so it’s going to be hard to try to merge all of those years together, especially in this old brain. Literally, I take it play by play. Whatever is asked of me, I do my best to do that thing, whatever it is. If it’s setting the edge, setting the edge; getting to the quarterback, do that; drop into coverage, I’ve done that as well. I just literally take it one play at a time and if I do my job on that play, I consider it a win for me and move on to the next.”
(How much of a pride factor though is stopping the run for you, knowing that people think of you foremost as a pass rusher?) – “I just have a lot of pride about me in all aspects of the game, whether it’s stopping the run, dropping into coverage, getting to the quarterback. I have pride in getting my job done. I’ve long, long ago stopped caring about what people thought of me or labeled me as – many, many moons ago. Like I said, it’s play by play and it’s between me and the guys that I play with and the coaching staff as far as what that role is going to be, how I attack it and whether it’s a success or not.”
(How would you describe the mood at practice this week?) – “Urgent, I guess. Is that a good word? I think everybody realizes that we only get so many swings at the bat. You can’t just let any of these slip through your fingers. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 – could have, should have, would have – but in this game, you don’t have 80 games or whatever it is. You get 16 chances, hopefully more. Every one of them is important. You never want to be – we’ve been there before – where you’re looking back 10 weeks from now saying ‘If we would have this, then hopefully we could have … We should have beat this team, but we didn’t.’ You’ve got to treat each game like that’s the most important game and this next game coming up is the most important. I feel like we have a good matchup and things should play in our favor but it won’t unless we go out there and do our job.”
(Obviously you never want to rule out a situation where Titans QB Marcus Mariota is questionable. You don’t know if he’s going to play. How do you prepare for two quarterbacks? Do you have to go into it with two different game plans or two different approaches?) – “I don’t think so. I feel like if you can fit into a medium, you can fit into a large. I’ll say it that way. You prepare, and if you have to scale back, you have to scale back. You wouldn’t want to do it the other way. You don’t want to say, ‘I’m going to be a large and now I’m trying to fit into a medium.’ It wouldn’t work that way, so you set your game plan as such that most eventualities are taken care of, and if you have to cut off a few, better safe than sorry. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.”
(For lack of a better word, is it annoying to not know which quarterback you’re facing?) – “Not at all. (For) me, personally, there is a blank spot in the backfield. I will get there no matter who’s standing in the spot, that’s just the way I look at it. Now of course, when somebody has the ball or there are certain plays and things like that, you have to adjust the game plan a little bit; but at the end of the day, it’s nameless, faceless entities that you try to destroy every chance you get.”
(A lot of times rookies, there are just these little epiphanies when something finally clicks for them. Have you seen any little breakthroughs like that for DE Charles Harris recently?) – “That’d probably be a better question to ask him; but I’ve been around him, obviously, for many months now and I feel like he’s tremendously gifted. I feel like he has – and I kind of look back – I don’t want to age myself but I look back (to) when I came in and had so many veterans to look for and ask questions. I think he’s kind of in that same situation where he has many, many years; many, many snaps, Pro Bowls, a coaching staff (around him). We’ve got basically a whole host of wisdom around him that he can always find an answer to any question he has. He’s been a guy to take advantage of that and I think it’s also showing up on the field, as well. I think last game was probably a game that most people say was his best game yet, and I’m obviously looking forward to more in the future.”
(So far, this defense has been far better at stopping the run compared to last year. The main reason for that is what?) – “I’m in there stopping the run, what do you mean? (Laughter) I don’t think it is one thing. Defense and offense are always talked about and how different they are; but on defense you have to play … If there’s 90 snaps in a game, you have to play, especially to stop the run, 90 snaps, everybody in the right place, you have this gap, gap, gap, gap. That’s the only way you stop the run – consistent, cohesive, together football. On defense, if you have two plays out of all 90 that you don’t do the right thing, a 60-yard run, your run defense is completely out the window. Offense is the complete opposite. You could have two bad quarters and come and have two great quarters and at the end of the day, you look like you won the day. It all comes down to consistency, playing together, and it has to be play in and play out. One play can ruin the day for you and change field position, and put points on the board, all of those things. To say one thing, it would be very hard; but I think it’s each guy knowing that, ‘This is my job to do,’ just trust the guy, he’s going to be in his job. (If) you do that over and over again, you build a resume over the course of a few games and you look back and can be proud of yourself.”
(What do you know about LB Rey Maualuga and what do you think he could potentially add to this defense?) – “We probably shared the field a couple of times. Physical force is probably the best couple of adjectives I could use to describe him. He’s obviously a veteran in the game, has a lot of wisdom, tough, hard-nose player, and I’m truly glad he’s on our side. I think this probably would be a great week to have a coming out party. I won’t be able to watch, but I’m looking forward to playing beside him”
(Looking at the run game for the Titans and the offensive line and the production that they’ve had, what do you see in them and how do you go about combatting some of the things that they’re able to do?) – “It’s kind of like what I just spoke about. They play well together. The running backs, obviously, know where they need to be, hit the holes, find the open spots, find that guy who’s not doing what he’s supposed to be doing. They’ll run hard and they’ll make guys miss and, again, you have to play together as a whole. That one guy. All 10 of us doing something right and one guy is not, they find that guy and they pop it through for a big gain. Again, that’s one of those unstoppable force, immovable object situations, and I like our matchup and I’m looking forward to going out there and getting the job done.”
(Only one team has allowed quarterbacks to have a higher passer rating against you guys. You guys are allowing 70-something percent of passes to be completed. Obviously a lot of that pressure is going to the secondary, but do you guys on the front line take responsibility for what’s going on there?) – “I wholeheartedly agree that any stat that you put you together – whether the passing stat is bad or good – is shared by both the d-line and the secondary. It’s probably inverse as far as most people think about it. I think when there’s a 70-yard pass and it’s a big bomb, that’s probably more the d-line’s issue than the secondary. This is the NFL, these are the best receivers in the world, no one can cover these receivers – I don’t care who it is – for 5 seconds. It’s just impossible. The inverse of that is if the pass is going out in 2 seconds, that’s probably more of a DB issue. I would like to think we share. They’re covering guys, making sure that we can get (to the quarterback) and we’re trying to get there to interrupt the plays. Maybe they’re throwing it too soon, it’s out of place, on the ground, whatever. So it’s shared responsibility, like I said, bad and good. It’s not always going to be on them. It’s not always going to be on us. I think we both play a role.”
