dolphins funny handed home lost might rested revenge spot sweet talk weeks whether
We did the 1972 Dolphins a big favor. But why? Two weeks ago, the 2005 Dolphins handed us a home defeat, which might end up costing us a spot in the playoffs. It would have been sweet revenge on the Dolphins had we lost to the Colts. With all this talk of whether or not the Colts should have rested their starters, wouldn't it have been funny if we had rested ours? That would have been hilarious.
ball chance encounter front game handing looking lt situation tackling throwing whether
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
against bring compete draft free gonna guy knew mind next pick somebody whether
I knew they were gonna bring somebody in, whether it be a draft pick or a free agent. But in my mind I was the only guy here, ... Every day I competed against myself. I didn't compete against the guy next to me.
ball confident game happened passing running whether
It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. I'm confident we'll get him in the passing game as we go down the road. We'll also get him the ball in the running game. Whether it's running or passing, we'll get him his touches.
ball catching confident game happened involved lt passing running touches whether
It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. But I'm confident he's going to be very much involved in the passing game as we go down the road. We need to get LT his 30-plus touches a game, whether it's running the ball or catching the ball.

I think that being in New York and having that rookie year, he's been through a lot in a short time, and he's learned ways to handle it.
beyond everybody gave job maybe move obvious offer opportunity people reluctance since stands stay win
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
close decided division eight fight finish gaining games good job last learning losing lost matter players playoff point season spot time trying win year
I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.

drive game prepare reacting starting
I still feel like I'm getting the reps that I need to prepare myself for the season, ... Really the big thing is just starting the game and being in there for that first drive to see what (defenses) are doing and reacting to it.

Maybe I'm spoiled a little. I see it all the time, but he just never ceases to amaze me.
