LB Trey Flowers

(How tricky is it to spend that time away from a team knowing you don’t really have specifics to study?) – “It was something different for me, obviously, since I’ve been here, but it was a learning process. I took it as a blessing and a lesson, just being able to rest my body, spend time with family. I kind of look at the positives. And then being blessed and being able to sign here, it definitely makes it easier with the group of guys that are in this locker room that work hard and I could just kind of – I know I’m a vet, but I still have to come in and kind of watch and see how they do it and figure it out.”

(Since mid-March, have you worked out anywhere else before the Dolphins one last Wednesday?) – “No, that was my first workout.”

(General Manager Chris Grier after saying a bunch of nice things about you said you don’t have to be a star here. Obviously, you’ve been a starter so much of your career. Are you at peace here coming and being part of a rotation with LB Jaelan Phillips, LB Andrew Van Ginkel, LB Melvin Ingram,?) – “Yes, like I said, I’m all about winning. However that comes, I’m going to put my best foot forward. I’m going to go out there and give it my all, however that comes. Like I said, there’s a great group of guys in this locker room that make a lot of plays, very productive guys. So however that comes, if we’re winning, I’m happy.”

(You signed pretty late. Was there a part of you that was maybe resigned yourself to, “Maybe I’m not playing this season”?) – “No.”

(You knew a call was coming?) – “Yes, you have faith. You just have to believe that God is going to answer your prayers.”

(Are you glad it’s Miami because obviously familiarity with Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer and the system and also it’s a good team?) – “Yeah, it’s definitely a good situation. Like you said, familiarity with the system and the group of guys in this locker room as I’ve seen the last couple of days, just being able to be productive. It’s looking good this year, so I’m excited.”

(How close is this defense to the one that you were with under Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer before?) – “What do you mean? Under Josh Boyer? Or are you saying in the past?”

(In the past, right.) – “Are you talking about the scheme or?”

(Yes, the scheme. Is it like 80 percent, 50 percent, very similar?) – “Yes, I mean defense is defense. Everybody kind of runs the same thing, but some of the standards of just attacking the football, running out the football, that’s just what great defense is about. So all those are similar, obviously, but the wording, I kind of got a little recall from it. So it helps a little bit, yes.”

(I have a weird question out of left field here. Considering you played for them last year, have you been watching Hard Knocks at all and see some of your former teammates there?) – “No, I don’t even have cable, man. (laughter) I just moved to my spot, and I just have internet right now. I might get cable, but no, I haven’t.”

(Did you get a sense they brought you in to work out, that it went well and that it was going to work out this way for you?) – “Yes, I knew I was prepared to do a workout. I was training in the offseason. I was prepared for it, and I just hoped that it did work out. Obviously, it did. I said my prayers and God answered.”
