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,

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

We have no intention of moving or trading Jason Taylor .

That’s what you look for in young players, is can they elevate their game, and can they improve and are they making progress.

If we just didn’t do that kind of stuff, we wouldn’t have to worry about it.

You need to wait five years and then we will know whether this guy is a good player or not,

We missed a couple of throws and had a couple of turnovers. . . We made some big plays on defense, which helped us. We just have to take advantage of the field position when...

We are going to effectively try to get him to be able to come back in the best possible condition and the best game readiness he can be in.

We had some issues today.

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...

I think he played outstanding and I am so happy for Ricky for some positive self-gratification that he’ll get from his performance today because he certainly deserves it.

We’re trying to get a deal that would satisfy him as well as work for us.

We’ve obviously started our research in terms of what the options are going to be for us. One of the goals that we have is to develop the players we have so somebody can be...

I’m getting too old to run (or) jog. We have fun. It’s probably good for the staff that we get together and do something like that.
