1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Hey, Devin, how you doing. I'm doing well. You guys

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: doing We're doing great. Were you a little surprised you

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: were practicing indoors today? Uh? Yeah, I mean we always

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: go off whatever whatever we're told. You know, we never

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: kind of know how how that shakes out, but usually,

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: I mean we was in there. I guess I was

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago, but that was only because we

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: was outside in the lightning instruct So, um, these days

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: are rare. You guys have faced Ryan Tannehill. You know

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: his entire career, he started right away as a rookie.

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: How has he changed as a as a quarterback? I think,

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: like any player, he just continued to get better. Um.

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that sticks out still very athletic,

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: can make plays when he decides to run um, but

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: continues to do a good job throwing the d ball

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: when that's not there, taking what the defense gives him,

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: blown it in his space to a lot of his

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: guys who are really good with the ball in their hands.

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: So um, to me, he just made all the progressions

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, which makes him a really tough guy

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: to play against. Now, and what was the theme especially

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: defensively this week? Was it energy, excitement, tackling. Was there

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: any one thing that that stepped up that might have

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: been a point of emphasis, not game planning wise, but

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: just in terms of overall feeling. Yeah, tackling is definitely

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: one of them for this week, just because the weapons

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: are playing against and how much you'll be an open

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: field and space and then playing fast. You just want

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: to go out there and play fast and be aggressive

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: from the beginning always to the end of the game.

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: So um, I think for us as players, that's something

32
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: we talked about that, like you just said, doesn't have

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: to do with scheme or anything. It's all about kind

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: of effort or want to and then being sound tacklers.

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: What did the film study show you what the issues

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: were in terms of tackling. I mean, tackling always comes

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: down and the same thing, the leverage or you know,

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: not wrapping guys up. So I think, no matter well,

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: when you don't tackle all, that's usually always the thing

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: that sticks out, um that you see. So um, it

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: comes back to just what we've been practiced since training camp,

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: of our fundamentals of wrapping guys up, using the right leverage,

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: using your teammates. Um. So that's something. I think that's

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: always a work in progress, Like you can tackle well

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: one game and not the next game, and that all

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: comes down to focus and making sure you get it done.

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's been on the team now about two weeks.

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: How do you think he's fitting so far? He's been good.

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like everybody else, and he's working obviously

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: these new guys, so he's trying to pick everything up.

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: But it's been good to see him out there working

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: with the guys trying to get ready to be out

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: their clients. All Um, I think that was the good

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: thing about our locker room is we always welcome everyone

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: that comes in here and try to help them prepare

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: and be ready to go. It seems like a talented

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: receiving cord of Miami has Am and Dola fitting well

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: into that scheme they have. Yeah, Dolda is a guy

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: that to me, will fit into any team. Plays extremely hard,

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: tough guy in the slot to stay with. Um. You know,

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you always need to know where

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: he's at, and I think they're in Miami. You kind

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: of see him play outside too, so UM, you know,

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: definitely sitting in world when you look at at this

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: team coming in this weekend, and you talk about emotions,

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: you've been through a few of these were early season,

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: some of the disappointing performances, And I don't want to

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: say must win, but it almost feels that way. Do

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: you get the sense in your locker room that the

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: guys on the team feel that this is a must win? Uh? No,

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I got the sense that guys want to go out

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: there and win because we've we've lost. But I don't

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: got to I don't have the sense of that if

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: we don't win our seasons over um and to me,

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: that's what like must win means, Like if we don't

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: win Sunday, then we might as well just hanging up.

77
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have that feeling, but I do

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: have that sense of urgency that every guy in here understands.

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, losing two games m back to back is

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: not acceptable and not what we want to do. We

81
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: put a lot of work in here. You want that

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: to result in the win, and so that that's us

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: coming together and going out there playing for each other.

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I know it's a business and you guys have to

85
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: treat it as such, But what were your thoughts when

86
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: you first heard that Rob Gronkowski was almost traded this offseason. Honestly,

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it because he's here now. Um,

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: A lot of that is kind of just personal thing

89
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: for him. But I'm like you said, it's a business,

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: and I'm happy he's on our team, the one't got

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: to cover him on Sunday. When when you look at

92
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: that that Miami offense, what is what is the one

93
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: threat that you have to make sure it doesn't happen

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: to to your defense? Uh? Big plays, um, And it's

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: not just in the passing game. It's either Albert Wilson,

96
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: uh coming in He's run you know different. I guess

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: it's a pass play on the chart, but like a

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: speed suite run play. Same thing with Grant Um and

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: then obviously in the passing game too with Stills in

100
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: park or going deep. So that's one thing we really

101
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: have to try to avoid giving up the big play. Devin.

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time is always good luck on Sunday
