Postgame – at Green Bay

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

(On why it took so long for Miami’s offense to get going.) – “Yeah, I think that the things that we progressed on, we somewhat ended up digressing within the first half. Pre-snap penalties, things that we thought we were getting better at. You look at penalties in general. Outside of the pre-snap penalties just the operation wasn’t our style of football that we showed and that’s not how we wanted to start and that’s not how we wanted to play, but I am proud of this team for continuing to stay in it. In the second half, we had an opportunity to come back. Nobody blinked. Everybody continued to stay in the fight.”

(On fourth downs not working out.) “Yeah, the play to Achane, Achane was where he needed to be. That was just a missed throw on something very simple. That is on me. On that fourth-down play where I took the sack, it was one of those where I seen Alec (Ingold) fall and as I got through to Jaylen (Waddle) I couldn’t really navigate to see if he won his matchup or not and by that time I was just trying to maneuver through the pocket and hopefully find an opening to find somebody on a scramble drill.”

(On if FB Alec Ingold was the first read on that play.) – “Yeah.”

(On if the cold weather impacted the slow start offensively) – “I wouldn’t say any of the things that were out there as far the elements are going to be used as an excuse for the reason as to why we started slow. When you are on the road, it’s always tough to communicate and operate at such a high level the way you want to and that’s why it is very premier that in walk through and practice, when it is loud, that you are locking in so that you know did I hear this, did I hear that, or did I say the correct thing in the huddle and are we getting out there and doing what we need to do to execute this play. So I would say from my standpoint and from our team’s standpoint we aren’t going to use any of that as an excuse as to why we didn’t get the start that we wanted.”

(On Green Bay’s run defense making things difficult for the entire offense.) – “I think it makes it challenging for any offense to go out there and not sort of be one-dimensional, but to mix in runs and then mix in play passes with those runs. Obviously tonight we were a little more pass heavy, but it does make it tougher, but sometimes that is what the game asks of you, especially when you are playing catch-up from behind.”

(On having a 5-7 record.) – “As far as season hopes I would say that this one was a tough one for us as a team. I know what this game meant to a lot of the guys in this locker room. I wouldn’t say that the dream is dead for our team just yet. Anything can happen in this league and we are going to watch the film and look over things that we need to get better at. We are going to come back next week and just keep chopping wood. Keep chopping wood and find a way to win the next game and keep stacking those again.”
