That just shows how much depth they've got. They don't miss a beat when the starters are out of the game.
For a guy who's 21 years old, that's impressive to come in here and pick up a scheme like this. That just shows that he is only going to get better.
The man has a plan. He knows exactly what he's doing. He has total confidence in his ability to make the right moves.
I'm just proud of the guys, because when we were 3-7, we could have shut it down. And guys kept fighting.
No back in the league gives me as much trouble, ... I'm short, and I can get leverage on the backs, but not Henry. I can't get under him. And he runs so hard. I hate trying to tackle him.
They put us in a hole and it changed the whole game.
I promise that once we get clicking on defense we are going to be real good. We were off today and we weren't very good.
That was a steal. To get a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback, really a franchise quarterback, it can't get no better than that for a second-round pick, now. Come on. I was excited. Hopefully, his health will be fine and we've got a lot of talent around him.
I feel good that we are on this run. We should have got on this run earlier and that's why we are not going to the playoffs, but it is good to win.
We had some big plays on third down that we missed. We've gotta get better and we will, I promise you that. This ain't the same old Dolphins. We're going to get better -- we had a rough day and we wish we had some of those plays back, but we're going to improve. I promise you that.
We're changing so many things, it's causing confusion for other teams. In the past, it's always been so simple. Now we're making offenses think a little bit. They don't know where I'm going to be.
We should have gotten on this run earlier. That's why we're not going to the playoffs. There are plenty of games we're looking back on now and saying, 'Man, we'd be in the playoff hunt if we just pulled one or two of those games out.' We shot ourselves in the foot early.

We killed ourselves on defense, man. Let them beat you; don't let yourselves beat you.
