I've wanted to pass along some soundbites from players and coaches as well as some quotes but never figured they were worth a whole thread. This will be a thread to share those type of things.

McDaniel explained the moment he first heard that the Tyreek Hill trade might be a possibility on Le Batard:
Grier: I just got a call from the Chiefs talking about Tyreek Hill.
Mike: What?!?! Tell them they can have everything!
- Tua to Trent and Tyreek

Tyreek Hill said on NFL Network that interceptions are not all on Tua. He says sometimes it’s the receivers’ fault. This mirrors what Trent Sherfield said recently. #MiamiDolphins

"It's the most accurate, catchable ball I've ever seen." – Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel on what he's seen so far from Tua Tagovailoa.
- Pretty cool how the Dolphins handled the Adam Shaheen injury
On Tuesday, head coach Mike McDaniel explained that whole process during his media availability, and why he ended up on injured reserve.
“He was practicing with nothing holding him back,” McDaniel said. “We 100 percent thought he was 100 percent healthy. Such is the nature of veteran players, you occur nicks along the way and that’s why you have a physical before things can be finalized and the whole trade processed. We were as surprised as I know Adam was, and that was something we definitely didn’t anticipate. But once we got that information, we had to digest it – all of us, including Adam – and once we got back and he got some more opinions, he has decided to get surgery, which puts him on IR and out for the season, which we are in 100 percent support of.”
Interestingly, Shaheen is in the last year of his deal, and the Dolphins could’ve released him and saved nearly $2 million in cap space, but they’ve opted to keep his contract on the books. This will allow him to recover and rehab with the help of the Dolphins’ training and medical staffs, as well as use their facilities to work.[/i]
