" Where does Joey Porter. -- you make the trip getting. He wasn't actually hear it Chela yesterday did he stay home. I can see -- you're confused by this all he was very confusing -- must and a number changed now and our lives. I never I never saw 55 do anything yet swearing wearing number for the body. Actually started the game astronauts -- a law you start it that's not possible. I mean a player of Joey -- caliber I mean let's be honest we sat here on Friday and Dan Koppen and Logan Mankins told us that he may talk a lot but he backs it up there -- lines -- he was back -- and then yesterday right on on. There with him. That. Was awful yeah. What happened I don't know and then and then of course he blow up the media as he can't be wasting time talkin'. He wouldn't hawk after a game he only talks before a game."

" I told you. Told you. That I would love you. Cover a player like Joey Porter he's so. He's entertaining always has something. Ridiculous to say that you can run ridiculous might be the operative for their. But I would hate to be a team that is. This strikes me as a bad -- made a good good guide it talked to a good got to listen dude. That was very entertaining. But if you really -- Nothing he yesterday. He heard the quarterback ones."

" And here I actually in an all joking aside I remember the play -- Brady rolled with -- right through the end zone we your rep from the camera side it would Indians -- your right. If you're watching that on TV. And and he actually hit Brady after letting go that was of that black -- kind of half bought for a minute to be applied not on a little crazy dollars and."

" It wasn't a dirty play by any stretch but that's it no tackles no assists. No sacks. No tackles for losses. But they know passes defensed no -- fumble recoveries."

" Not that I know that I know the folks much more knowledgeable about this aspect of our life and I am have been telling me this for years and I have fought the urge to believe that. But listening to people here in the stadium yesterday. When the patriots settled for the field goal. That put the gap at ten when apparently the spread was ten and a half --"

" At listening to any outlet in this thing."

" Target does -- and gamble much that's at. People take it and score another touchdown. So that the spread was actually and I well I I mean that's. The big just I was getting from a hoax in the general area where heartland I was desperate to -- I I'd like I don't I don't have to admit don't know much about that aspect of the game but but listening to people like mad. That they settled for a field goal of the -- instead pocketed him out. And that's -- get bitter. Like ten point win over division team. -- division team that has at times played pretty well this year. At times not so well but. Came in with some wrinkles that we thought they might change things up a little bit with their wildcat offense as we thought they might. By the patriots played reasonably well yesterday left some points on the field and one touchdown called back a lot of."

" Points in the field and and at times. Last year. They had problems like this don't -- converting. In the red zone when it really matters and and -- to me. And I hope is not a repeat of 2008 in the stands out to me. About last year's colts game also in November. Was that the patriots had a lot of opportunities but left some points on the field and made so much serious decisions. Hasn't had some stupid penalties -- put that altogether and it led to a loss that should have been a loss last year. They they struggled at times in 2009. Put the ball in the end zone. I feel like the you know they have some red -- problem Malia and they've had some productive drives but then when it comes to finishing them -- they don't always finish them off the way you'd expect them to. You see Stephen discussed a little more more a little more than you want."

" Up four field goals is more than you'd generally wanna see -- They do get frustrating at times in the red zone. United and -- do you play the game as you're watching like I do where you try to yes. Whether it's runner past based on personal -- in the field and you try to figure it all out and I I thought they were. Reasonably predictable in that regard -- set -- watch an unthinkable finally gonna pass out of this formation. I know -- Miami knows they're gonna pass out of this formation. I think at times that's the only criticism I have of the plate calling its. You don't have that that. And it. Confusion Baxter and the factor that I thought Charlie Weis brought to the table pretty pretty successfully. This offences has got to be at at gotten to be at times a predictable."

" I'm over Charlie Weis -- just say that I don't we get after this week on this and we we get Charlie Weis calls. Whatever their offense struggles whenever the patriots lose a game have been the same since Charlie Weis was here well what Charlie Weis is here. There are plenty view calling in about him and values game he gets too cute you know run the ball Charlie stop trying to pass the ball had these gimmick plays all the time. I'm over it. As long as they have twelve. And 81. In 83. -- How -- but I mention those guys but you played like a man yesterday. The couple wants Laurence Maroney long hours and only did I gotta give its --"

" And you know even on on a couple of runs where he was looking to do a little east west if you watched the play is there was nothing. Where he was trying to run I mean there was nothing there most of the time up up the offensive line did a good job given -- space he -- a good job it up in there. Couple plays -- kind of danced a little bit. The point of attack where he was supposed to go there was no place to go I thought it was great yesterday."

" Yet it Iran art in it's the criticism that he went on what criticism. How many calls we get about -- A month there's always some you know every talk about the running game and and that deficiencies in the running game of course more ceremonies name comes up but yesterday a -- did a great job. The body did exactly what he needed to do against that team. And on the flip side I thought the patriots. Get a good job for the most part of controlling the running game the one guy who had a big -- you know Pat White had 33 yard run. But when you come out of -- game and you know how much respect the patriots after Ronnie Brown to come out of a game you look at Ronnie Brown's numbers fifteen carries for 48 yards. And no touchdowns did at the passing touchdown where the defense for Arnold that was. If that was. On and Meriweather -- Meriweather had some conversation and right. Actors in this very easy touchdown I don't know what was on but. What touchdown pass from Ronnie Brown. And about fifty yards on the ground to take a tea probably means you gonna win you know the whole dolphins seventeen yards below their season average. You're probably gonna --"

" I loved the play of the offensive line yesterday I thought Sebastian Vollmer had a great game we may -- Joey Porter. But the fact of the matter is a lot of Joey -- and effectiveness yesterday had to do with the guys playing opposite him. I thought the offensive line had a very big game played very well Tom Brady had so much time to throw most of the time. And even when he got hit it was like he was tried that extra second to three seconds try to get a guy open. I thought the offensive line was great."

" Yeah I mean everybody play well on line and support out bomber that well Connolly did well coming here for culprit. I knew that Arctic open guy is pretty much been a fixture since his rookie year in 2003 coming in and and solidifying. The senator position. Has been here. Bird bird you know 67 years 67 seasons. Has done a great job you have -- coming in with no chemistry with Tom Brady but it wasn't an issue yesterday I know I know I wouldn't wouldn't show -- Who who didn't concern yesterday it was Jason Taylor."

" Offensive line did a great job. -- give an example of coaching year. And it goes back to the -- like when Dan cope when hit the turf. And it was pretty obvious you know he was down on hands in these sin and was -- I I was watching the patriots -- directly and I immediately sought Dante Scarnecchia. Scream obviously Condoleezza. Conley came in the only had 45 feet ago came runner over put his helmet on. And immediately started snapping the ball on the sidelines to Brian Boyer. And then while they were tending to open on the field Brady came over the sidelines. And -- snapped the ball a couple of times to Brady. And the coaching here -- Opens down Conley -- and let's get ready let it -- let's get let's get things you know the blood flowing air. And almost immediately Brady went in the shotgun with -- snapping and I never thought about it I was watching him specifically to see how -- handle it. The best the best things about -- is I didn't think about in the rest of the game because he handled everything I thought as as well as he --"

" And -- it's good point it's something that. And this is as he says part of coaching in this part of being a smart player. They always say be ready that is taken being written being ready to its highest level I'm not just ready and that's not gonna -- jump into the game. Because the guy goes Obama do ominous start preparing as soon as it's obvious that. He's gonna be out at least -- play and maybe for the rest of the game the the the other thing to stand -- to -- yesterday's game. I guess this is the downside of being the type of offense. That the dolphins are. The downside is takes a while. -- to get it going -- not a quick strike offense. So you think about this. Miami Dolphins. Get the ball at the beginning of the third quarter. And they hold it until 45510. Minute drive -- for 55 left. In the third quarter. They go up seventeen to sixteen. They're feeling good about themselves. About a minute and the New England Patriots comeback."

" If they come back but that three. Play drive."

" Replace. One minute 36 seconds."

" Well it it's funny because on I'm texting my brother in Florida who wants that'll scores are and I text in Miami goes up 1716. You know five minutes left apply. And I text and felt like thirty seconds later patriots up three minutes left to play any texted me back and he said it -- mistake -- Because it was like -- boom and others and yards and one play that got have a lot of risk."

" It for Miami had you know has said it all last week I really respect the way they play. Respect -- how tough. They are and how tough they they're trying to be. But you don't want. That had to be demoralizing tool you'll the ball for ten minutes that's simpler problem is they just don't have. They don't have enough explosive players -- and maybe that's one of the things it's gonna happen. -- you know as Bill Parcells continues to shape this team. And he continues to look at the personnel. Maybe that's that's the next round of drafting for Parcells and me had to stabilize the offensive line a lot to fix -- to when he took over there. He had to stabilize the offensive line and now he see the young corners that they have made maybe the next phase is linebackers out. Until reporters getting up there and and so it's Jason Taylor. Maybe overhauls linebackers. And does something with the receiving corps."

" Sort of seems like never ending doesn't it well yeah amazed -- some great things in a short period of time. But that that franchise was so be raft. For a long time that he had a lot to do and -- got a real good job day is that a great job what we said after last year they were probably gonna take a step back from eleven and five. You felt that I felt that we felt that you know you're gonna take a step back and then move forward I think we're seeing that but it's obviously a franchise that's kind of moving in the right direction."

" You know you look at it in in in the pros Weathers the pros Doris college football when you see -- team. Who lose close games consistently. It's not bad luck. SIS it means they're playing. -- to the to the best of their abilities but that does not get it right until the dolphins right now just aren't good enough although although they were undefeated in division coming into yesterday's game."
