‘"His production has fallen off in the last two-three games but a lot of that is circumstances. The ball hadn’t come around him or they haven’t run in his gap, so I think he’s a little bit of a victim there. But at the same time I think he’s a very good player, a solid player and a guy we’re going to have to have play extremely well in the future."’

‘"Jake’s a warrior," interim Dolphins coach Todd Bowles told reporters. "He wants to play and if he can play and is healthy, he will."’

‘Here are the names: C.J. Spiller, Torell Troup, Alex Carrington, Marcus Easley, Ed Wang, Arthur Moats, Danny Batten, Levi Brown and Kyle Calloway. Read them, and weep.’

Coach Bowles Press Conference And Transcript (MiamiDolphins.com)

‘”I’m still required to do my job here,” Daye said Friday afternoon during a skype press conference. “It will be double duty for a little while. We need to hustle and get the best staff we can get and get some boots on the ground recruiting as fast as we can.”‘

‘Dolphins 24, Bills 13.’

‘Buffalo has had trouble with their consistency on both offense and defense on their current six-game losing streak. Takeaways are the only thing that can overcome inconsistent play, providing more chances for the offense to score points. The Bills need to be at least a plus-2 in this game to post a much needed victory. They have 12 interceptions in six home games thus far this season.’

‘”Congratulations to Daryl Daye for getting the head coaching job at Missouri Southern State,” said Bills GM Buddy Nix. “Daryl played for me at LSU. I’ve known him for years and he did a great job for us here with the Bills, and he’ll do a good job for Missouri Southern State, too.”‘
