Miami Dolphins Head Coach Adam Gase<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Well, it was certainly a tough game offensively. Defensively you tried to get some consistency in what you were doing. It seemed to be tough on both sides of the ball out there today.) <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cYes. But I don\u2019t have a great answer for you right now until I go back and take a look at the film, which I\u2019ll probably have to do tonight<\/span>. I\u2019ll get to correcting the mistakes that we\u2019re making and adjusting to get ready for Cincinnati.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(How frustrating is it in the fourth quarter you get really what you want, you\u2019ve got 3:14<\/span> left in the game, two timeouts, and you just need to put some points on the board to win it, and you go three and out again, which has got to be a concern for you.)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cWell, we had some pretty good drives the last two games as far as moving the ball down the field at the end of the game, and this one drive in\u00a0 the game\u2026but then there\u2019s a lot of times where there are two-minute drives that just don\u2019t work out and this one didn\u2019t. I probably had a call there on second down, I busted it, which is a little bit disappointing, but we\u2019ve just got to go back to the drawing board as far as making sure everyone knows what to do and is on the same page. We need to execute a little bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Adam, how will you look back at your first win as a head coach?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s just another game.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Is there more elation or relief?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cNo. It\u2019s just that we\u2019re moving on to Cincinnati here fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Coach, were you surprised at how they were able to move the ball throughout the game, whether it was [Cody] Kessler or if it was Terrelle Pryor doing different things back there?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s the NFL. That\u2019s what they\u2019re going to do. We\u2019ve got to do a better job as far as what we\u2019re doing tackling-wise. We had a couple of things going wrong on defense so Vance [Joseph] was trying to correct some things. Anytime you play Hue [Jackson] you\u2019d better be ready for a lot of stuff coming at you. You\u2019re going to see a lot of things you haven\u2019t seen before. He did a great job insofar as pulling us out of some awkward positions and I thought our coaching staff did a good job as far as trying to make some adjustments. The players have just got to keep up with us a little bit. We\u2019ve got to do a better job when things are going wrong on the other side of the ball, staying on the field, making sure that we have some time of possession in our corner, we\u2019ll win these games.\u201d<\/p>\n

(When that field goal goes wide on the last play of the fourth quarter, what\u2019s your reaction?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s a new game. We\u2019ve just got to start over. I know in overtime you want to press, but I feel like I\u2019ve been in quite a few of them\u2026I feel like it\u2019s been seven or eight in the last three years. You have to really reset yourself and realize that it\u2019s a new game. You can\u2019t just start going back there thinking it\u2019s going to be a two-minute drive. You have to be very selective with what you\u2019re calling, make sure you stay within the rhythm that you had during the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

(What did you tell your guys after the game?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThat they\u2019ve got to recover quickly and get ready for Cincinnati.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Reshad Jones \u2013 another big day for him. He seems to come up with big plays every time he\u2019s on the football field.)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThat guy has been one of our best leaders since he\u2019s been here, as far as my time around him and since he came back to mini-camp. He\u2019s really shown me what a really great defensive player looks like. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever been around one that good in his prime. I know I was around Brian Dawkins there, but that was later in his career. Just watching Reshad day in and day out\u2026the way he plays, I wish all our guys played with as much effort and heart as that guy plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

(What can you tell us about where the injuries are at?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cI haven\u2019t gone in there as far as going over every little detail. They were saying that they were still evaluating Jordan [Cameron]. There\u2019s nobody else really, that I can think of right now. I haven\u2019t gone in there to talk to the trainers.\u201d<\/p>\n

(So with Jordan [Cameron], you don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a concussion?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cI still don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t gone in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Was Ja\u2019Wuan James hurt?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cNo. We pulled him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

(So what\u2019s the overriding emotion you have right now? Is it relief that you pulled it out or is it concern over what went wrong?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m concerned. I just want us to execute better. I want us to play with some consistency. We come out here in our first game home to showcase to our own fans what we\u2019re all about and offensively we\u2019re out there flopping around. It irritated me a little bit. It still does now\u2026it\u2019s bothering me a little bit. I thought our defense did a great job as far as playing hard and keeping us in the game. We\u2019re too up and down on offense. I\u2019m going to get that fixed fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Were you surprised Cleveland elected to kick to start overtime?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe way we were playing offensively, it was probably a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

(You guys had [Byron] Maxwell shadowing Terrelle Pryor \u2013 why was that decision made?)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cWe\u2019ll make decisions like that every week. Both of those guys are capable of covering most of the receivers in this league. When our defensive coaches make any kind of decisions, that\u2019s what they get paid to do. Our defensive coaches get paid to make those decisions. I\u2019m always going to be good with it. Anytime Vance [Joseph] tells me something, I\u2019m going to be good with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

(You don\u2019t look especially thrilled with this victory.)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cWe need to play better.\u201d<\/p>\n
