RB Salvon Ahmed

(On the fans being at practice today.) – “It’s love. It’s always a great sign hearing some noise out there and the guys running out there. There is a lot of energy, so we love having them out there.”

(Is it fun making a big play when there is 5,000 people out there?) – “It’s fun being out there with my team. I enjoy being out here. It was hot today though.”

(I know you’re a fast guy, but you look pretty quick this year. How are you feeling the second year, is it slowing down for you, the offense?) – “Oh, yeah. Just trying to do what I can do out there. The guys out there are making great plays. The offensive line, everything is coming together. It’s been a lot of fun being out there and just trying to make a play.”

(Did you guys feel the need to try to bounce back after Friday when the defense kind of got after it a little bit?) – “That’s what it’s about. It’s about competing. They had a really good day and that’s what you want to see at the end. We are all one team – the offense, defense and special teams. Everybody is one, so if they have a good day, that’s a win for the Dolphins.”

(Was that skirmish you or what happened out there?) – “It was just guys out there having fun. I don’t really know what was going on, but at the end – like I said, we’re all one team.”

(The running backs are always rhythm players. Last year you didn’t get a lot of rhythm, but you were always there every time they called your number. How do you stay prepared, and always effective?) – “Just staying locked in, being able to just be one to show up for the team whenever I can, whenever the number is called, no matter who it is. I think that’s the responsibility you hold personally, just being able to show up for the team whenever you have to – whether that’s on offense, defense or special teams. Just making sure you’re locked into every single detail.”

(How do you stay away from staying down because you’ve got a couple of guys ahead of you and you are waiting for your opportunity to prove yourself?) – “It’s just going out there, playing football and just staying ready and not focusing on whether you’re getting playing time or not. That’s not up to you. Just making sure that you’re locked in everyday, and that you’re getting better, that’s the main focus.”

(The running back’s room is largely the same this year, and the offensive line has got most of the guys back. How does that continuity help the running game?) – “It’s always good when everyone can stay together and work throughout the summer, work through OTAs, go into camp, and just get into a rhythm. It’s been awesome. I think they are out there doing a great job along with the receivers blocking, the quarterbacks-center exchange, all of that. Everything has been really fun to watch. We just got to keep stacking the days.”

(You spent that first camp your first year in the league with the 49ers with Mike McDaniel there. Do you ever draw on that experience four years after the fact that you learned your first year in the league?) – “Yeah, man. It’s been nothing but God. Nothing but God first and foremost. It’s been a journey, but like I said, I’ve loved my journey. I love being a part of the Dolphins. Everything has been a learning experience. Like I said, just keep stacking year after year, giving it to God every step of the way.”
