 condition and to work out and to meet. And then start our preparation on Miami. Buc. Yeah, Mike, with Miami, what's kind of stood out about the way that they've turned their season around after seven straight losses and now seven straight wins? I mean, I think that in these last couple of games, when they've won, starting with the Houston game, but they've taken care of the football, they've created a bunch of turnovers during that stretch. And I know that they went back and forth with Houston in the one game that they had to start this streak. And I know Brian and I know that the consistency in which he preaches, and it looks like that's obviously starting to pay off now. They're not opposed to playing close games. Very multiple both sides of the football. So it'll be like it always is for us, trying to take care of the football. They've caused probably 12 or 13 turnovers the last six weeks. Jim, what? Hey, Mike, I've got a question on Bud Dupree. Just how much of a different he makes when he's in there? What have you seen from him since he's been back last couple of games? He's factored in some plays. And I think that there's a lot of things that he's going to have to continue to improve on. Bud's missed a lot of individual time. And I believe and know that that's critical. But he's playing with his speed, and he's chasing. And hopefully he can continue to help us and learn and study the opponent each week. Terry? Mike, what has Tua been doing? I think he has the highest completion percentage of any quarterback in the league. What's he been doing to accomplish that? And is there any difference that you have to make when you face a left-handed quarterback as opposed to seeing right-handers all the time? I mean, I think you'll have to probably on some of the RPOs where they're going with it or some of the throws that normally a right-handed quarterback would make that they're trying to maybe do things a little differently. His accuracy has come down to him being very decisive with the football, getting it out of his hand. But no one where he wants to go with it. As far as the left-handed quarterback, you may it's going to be a change as far as matching the hand and what we try to teach with the pass rushers or those guys that are Blitzen is trying to be good matching the quarterback's throwing hand. That will be certainly something that we'll have to practice. Paul? Hey, Mike. Sorry about that military, Paul. How much do you credit Shane with the way he's evolved this year maybe with additional responsibilities for all of the things that have gotten better with the defense? I think it's like it always is, Paul. It's a group effort. It's the coaching that comes together with a common goal that when they leave that room, everybody is on board to teach the same things and install the same things. I think that it's a testament to the players like it always is. But I think that each week we try to do everything we can to give our players a great opportunity to know what to do going into the game. And I like the way that the staff is working together. And Shane coordinates on that. Toronto? It was so close. Todd Downey, he had said a couple of weeks ago that the numbers don't necessarily define the season that Ryan Tannehill has had. So my question to you is, A, do you agree with that? And B, in what way can you define the season that he's had so far? Well, I think that our focus is on the Dolphins. I love Ryan. I love who he is. I love his toughness. I think we can all look back to Thursday night and see that when there's a clean pockety, he made some really good throws. And it starts there. It starts in protection. It starts in giving him a pocket to stand up, stand in, and step up and deliver passes. I think that was evident. So it is a group effort. There are some things that Ryan has to improve on, and then we're going to continue to coach him on. But his toughness is second to none. I know that being a professional quarterback requires a level of toughness. And I'm not going to say that our guys aren't tough, but I know that Ryan has a very high ability to stand in there and not flinch. And when he takes off and runs, he helps us out. Corey? Mike, you've got another good tight end. You're going to face this weekend to Sicki. But you've been really strong against Kittle and Kelsey this year. What's been your key to limiting those guys so far? Corey, if that's a jinx, I'm going to be done with you, Corey, if that's a jinx. You wouldn't be the first. I actually have gone, I mean, Mike, we recruited when I was at Ohio State. I remember going and seeing him in college, or excuse me, in high school. And I know that he's battled through some injuries. And he's really turned into a really nice player, very athletic, very long. And sometimes these tight ends are all different. And he runs the entire route tree. And he's very, very fluid mover, very easy mover. His catch radius is probably the second to none in the NFL, as far as some of these passes that look like they're going to be overthrown. He continues to run or take another step and reach up and make a play. Seems like he's got a very good relationship with the quarterbacks, and they trust him. So as far as defending him, I mean, I think that that will always change based on the call or basic what we're going to do as far as the game plan. But he has certainly been a very good target for him. But? Yeah, to that end, Mike, I mean, how well when Dane Cruickshack's been able to be out there, how well has he done with the tight ends? He has really accepted that challenge. And it's always good to see guys when you give them a role and it might seem like a small role or a role on third down, but he has done well. I'm sure that those things happen that Dane will get more opportunities. I think that one of his better plays in the game was when they ran it on third down in the fringe area that Dane came over, read it, tracked his guy, and really made a great tackle, a good physical tackle. He stayed on his feet, wrapped up, ran his feet on contact, and showed the team that this morning is an example of how we want to tackle. And I know that Dane had been working on some of those things. Teresa? Mike, yesterday was the first day since I think last Tuesday you didn't put an offensive lineman on the reserve COVID list. How is that group looking at this moment and with the new protocols any chance that any of those linemen could be back on Sunday? We're dealing with it like everybody else is. Teresa, trying to do what's best for the player and make sure that their health and safety is monitored and taken care of and that there's families' health and safety is taken care of. And I would say that we're hopeful that we get some of those guys back. Corey? Mike, I know it seemed like forever for the buy to get here, but having to buy the slate followed now by the mini buy with two weeks to go, in a way, is it going to be beneficial for you heading into January? Well, only if we take advantage of it, Corey. Only if we take advantage of it and can use the extra time to get rest, to make sure that we're sleeping and our nutrition is on point, that our conditioning is on point. We have some guys that have been out and that as we get them back, that they're conditioning is at a level that we expect it to be to allow them to play with the effort and finish that's expected of our football team. So I hope that it can be an advantage. I hope that it can help us if we take advantage and we do the right things. Terry? Mike, when you play a team that's playing on a Monday night like the Dolphins are tonight, do you take the time and watch that game or do you just wait and dissect the coach's tape? I mean, I'm sure it'll be on. We'll take a look at it. And Terry, I think you probably have to change your fire alarm battery. I think I heard it beep. It's just so amazing. But a lot of that will be done. I mean, a lot of that stuff will be done and we'll have watched them and then we'll try to add in anything that shows up tonight. And Mike, I know you mentioned the health of the families. Most important with your guys on the COVID list, but what are the guys able to do while they're out? So when they are clear, they'll be able to hit the ground running. Is that watching film? Are they able to be in meetings? What can they do at this point? So they check in with the trainer in the morning. They call and check in. There's a testing cadence, Jim, that's I think that they have to do. They pull up and they test. They stand in their car and they're tested and then they leave and go home. They zoom meet. They zoom meet in all three phases. And then the ones that are having no symptoms, I think that they're starting to try to do some work and out or based on how they feel, trying to do some things that would normally help them and get them up and moving around. Paul. How much if you don't have that line together, Mike, on a Wednesday, does it set you back? We'll just try to plan for the guys that we have. And then as guys continue to get added back into it, and we'll see where they fit. Our job to have eight guys ready for the game, just like we did last Thursday. Teresa. Mike, I'm probably hitting my limit today with three questions. But anybody who's on the reserve, the injured reserve list, have a chance to possibly be activated to return to practice this week. Not that I know of right now. All right, Coach, I think that may be it. OK, guys, have a great day. Appreciate it. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Mark. Thanks, Mike.
