We’ve been able to move the ball a little bit better,

The guy is very magical with the ball. He has speed and can change direction. He plays with a tremendous amount of toughness for his size and he’s done an outstanding job in what he...

That is the challenge for me, to keep answering them the same way.

My last conversation was awhile back and was really about our heritage, trying to figure out where we came from and what we did,

We’re not going to second-guess anything that we did. There [are] things that we need to do long-term to make our team better that we’re going to do. And if we suffer for it in...

We all have a professional responsibility as clubs to live by the confidentiality rules, which are designed to protect players. However the information got out, I hope those people will take that responsibility and let...

We have another one, Sammy (Morris). I think that’s something we’ve always looked at as a two-starter position, the running-back position. That has been my history as a coach, to always have two guys at...

Gus is going to make us a better team at the quarterback position. His knowledge and experience that comes with being a veteran will help the development of some of our younger players. In addition,...

He looked fast, quick. I was impressed.

I think it’s something we need to evaluate. It seems the entire preseason whichever quarterback played second has played best.

I think he has the arm talent to do it. He can do it.

There is no doubt that quarterback is a critical position in every organization. That really has to be something that we look at to make a good assessment on how we move ahead at that...

We want to pick the quarterback that’s going to give us the best opportunity to win. I’m not prepared after watching that game to make a statement about that.

I don’t think that Blaster can do what Brooks can do,

It’s about how the players play and compete. I know everybody is going to equate that on winning or losing, like they always do, but if we play hard and compete well in the game...

Nobody wishes that anybody has to go through what one of our colleagues is having to go through right now relative to his loss in this holiday season.

We believe we are a better team today than we were yesterday.

The Raiders had a hard time with him. He wrecked the game, creating two turnovers that really iced the game. He’s a fantastic player.

Ricky did a fantastic job for us this year. If someone said, ‘Who have you enjoyed coaching the most in all my years of football,’ he’d be one of the top guys I’ve ever been...

The offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage much better in this game. When you run the ball for five yards per carry, that’s a good job. And we had pretty decent protection for the...

No, but I think that it’s going to be up to the team not to allow it to be [a circus] and to focus on what we need to focus on as a team to...

If you look at most teams’ needs, probably half of them are solved developing from within. When you take that ability away, that’s when you get out of balance on the salary cap and everything...

Right tackle has been somewhat of a problem,

This was probably Ricky’s best overall game out there, in terms of him having some space to work in, not only as a runner, but a couple of times as a receiver as well.

Football is football. When guys don’t do things that are intentional to hurt somebody, which neither one of those things were, I think it’s a little ridiculous. And it happens every week. It’s not fair...

When you have reached the pinnacle as a player of what you have always aspired for, what’s your motivation? … Some guys just work their tail off because they want to be good. It’s important...

I don’t know if anyone will know who the legitimate national champion is, … unless all three of the teams in consideration get the opportunity to play one other.

He gives us a dimension out there that nobody else does in terms of his physical presence and toughness. We’re happy to have it.

We had a great first drive. We looked like a good football team. But we’ve got to do that with consistency.

I’m here to say that we’re here to help both guys get better and improve, and we’ll make the decisions based on what’s best for our offensive team to get better.

Personally, I hate to release any of the guys. I feel like this is our team. These guys have been here. They’ve worked hard. They’ve all made a tremendous commitment and sacrifice to trying to...

Nobody has a crystal ball. Nobody can make a prediction. But based on history, the guy is making good progress to come back. … And as you see his progress being made, it doesn’t become...

I would think in all probability it would be someone else other than Matt because he hasn’t been able to do it to this point.

He did some straight-line running (Monday). He threw the ball some. He took some easy drops. So it’s not like this guy is not at a point where he can’t start doing some things. Now,...

Maybe this guy (Denney) won’t mess up twice in a year after he’s done it in 10 years. But if we were to cut this guy, he would have gotten claimed. And if you watch...

Before Scott joined the Dolphins, I considered him to be one of the most innovative offensive coaches in the league.

I haven’t thought about it yet,

Nobody in this room, with all of our power and might put together, can have anything to do with where it goes. What we can try to do is have something to do with preparing...

He looked quick. He looked fast. He made the right cuts. I’m not disappointed at all in the way he played for the first time out of the box.

Managing the game is the most important thing. Gus has done a pretty good job of that. Turnovers are not killing us. We won the turnover battle in the games that we won and we...

What’s the occasion? … Like I don’t know.

We are going to get the quarterback ready that is going to play in the game and we are going to try and get the backup ready to be the backup. It is really insignificant...

He’s an outstanding player who could line up and complement the things we do with our outside linebacker rush.

We gave him the work we thought he could handle. Do I think he got enough work in the preseason to be ready for the first game? I didn’t make the decision to come to...

Maybe we can create some problems and issues for teams by doing that.

I don’t think we played very well. We didn’t look quick, we didn’t look fast and we didn’t play with the same energy level that I’ve seen us play with throughout the year so far....

We are going to start both guys.

He did well, actually better than I thought he would. We did not want him to go the whole practice because we didn’t want him to get in an overuse situation where he might fatigue...

We’re still competing at that position, but Gus has taken most of the reps. That’s the way it is right now.

I don’t want to say he has a sore arm, but when you start to get one, that is the time to back off and not let it become one. I think that was what...
