That's the job of a quarterback, to go out there and be confident with the communication of the play, in the huddle and with my play.
You can't go out there and play scared.
If you play scared, your decision making slows down and that's when you run into more trouble.
I've seen how this thing goes, the waves, the ins and outs of the season.
When you're the starter, there are certain things that you're able to do as far as leading and stuff like that. So, really having to kind of take a step back in a leadership role I would say is the toughest role for me.
That's what we're here for as quarterbacks is to help our team win, lead the offense down the field and put points on the board.
I want to finish my career as a Dolphin and win a championship here. That's what they brought me here for and that's what I came to do.
Everything in your preparation, in your mind is we're gonna win this game. You don't really even think of the other side.
I think the tone that the head coach sets transcends to the team.
Whether it's third down, man vs. man or red zone, a lot of the game comes down to one-on-one matchups.
When you get down, your game plan changes a lot and what you're trying to do is eliminated.
We have to be able to execute early in games, whether it's a block, whether it's a throw, whether it's a catch, we have to be able to make plays.
It's a tough situation as a defender to be put in. I understand what they're doing trying to protect quarterbacks. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those where you appreciate them trying to take care of you a little bit, but I do see the conflict that it puts a defender in.
You see receivers getting open, the O-line blocking, and when that's happening, playing quarterback is a lot of fun, man. You get to sit back, and deliver the football, and let your guys make plays.
I love going out and competing.
Game days are a lot of fun, especially when you win.
I love practicing with the guys.
I think there's a lot that goes into an offense, obviously.
I'm confident.
Whenever we have penalties and take a 10-yard penalty down the red zone, it gets tough.
