LB Raekwon McMillan

(There’s a report that came out that after yesterday’s game, players were so upset, they reached out to their agents demanding trades. C Daniel Kilgore probably said it best: if guys are requesting trades, you don’t want him here anyway. Just your thoughts on if guys actually reached out to agents to request a trade?) – “I try to stay off social media as much as possible because there can be misleading stories on there. Nobody has come to me about it, so I don’t really know much of it; but like (Daniel Kilgore) said, if they don’t want to be here, it is what it is. We’re going to move along with what we’ve got.”

(And how disturbed do you get when you hear pundits and fans saying, “Oh the Dolphins are tanking because they want the first pick,” and stuff like that? Guys are working hard. I doubt you go out there to risk injury just to tank.) – “Like you said, I’m not going out there to put my body on the line, put my future on the line just to lose games. I’m going out there to win, put my best effort out there on film and give my everything for my teammates.”

(What do you do a day after that game? You saw the film – now, how do you move forward from that now?) – “What do I do after the game? I go home, get some ice packs (laughter), go to sleep, wake up, watch film and do it all over again.”

(Now you’re watching that film, and what’s going through your mind when you guys prepared so much for that type of offense?) – “Like everybody was saying, we can be a lot better. We made a lot of mistakes – a lot of in-house mistakes. It’s not anything that they did special. We came out flat, and we didn’t show up on Sunday. We’ve got to do a better job next Sunday.”

(You seemed to make a lot of what was not a great number of snaps. Do you think you showed enough yesterday to get more playing time?) – “That’s not my decision. I go out there whenever I get a chance to. I put my best tape out there on film and just worry about the other stuff later.”

(What could this defense be like if you were on the field a little bit more?) – “My coaches feel like this is the best thing for us, so that’s what it is. No complaining. They can be special with or without me on the field if everybody just goes out there and does their job right.”
