 How different has the start here in Tennessee been from your start with the Dolphins when you started your career in the NFL? That was a long time ago, ages ago. But yeah, I mean, we've done some good things here and excited to hopefully build on that as we finish out this season. I'm excited to clinch a playoff berth and actually end the playoff opportunity for your former team. Does that add anything to this match of this week? Well, I mean, obviously, focusing on ourselves and what we have in front of us, it's a huge game for us. Obviously, they're coming in hot. They've been playing really good football on both sides of the ball. And it's going to be a good challenge for us. But we have a big opportunity here this week for us and excited for that opportunity here at home. You're even buddies that are still on that team and what are maybe your memories from your time there, your mostly a positive experience and how do you describe it? I mean, I'm thankful for my time in Miami. It was a special time in my life. I grew a lot there as a person, as a player, became a father, grew as a husband, and I grew on the field as well. So thankful for my time there. As far as people, there's not a whole lot of people left. Players left that were there. There was a few guys, a handful of guys that are still on the team. But there's been a lot of turnover there. So not a big carryover of guys. But yeah, thankful for my time there and have no ill feelings towards Miami. You still have a home there? I'm full out of it, yes. What do people say when they see you maybe on the streets when you are down there? I mean, people are friendly, just like they are in most places, mostly good experiences. What's the biggest thing for you, Ryan, when you look at your first stop where you are and now you're in a total different area, a total different team? I mean, what's the biggest thing for you, growth-wise, that you've seen out of yourself with the second team? I mean, you try to learn from every experience in life. Whether it's a good experience, a bad experience, you try to take something from every experience, whether it's in football or in life in general. And so I grew a lot in my time in Miami. And I think I've used both good and bad experiences to help me grow to where I'm at today. Like I mentioned, on the field and off the field, it was a huge growth in my life. I basically spent most of my 20s in Miami. So thankful for that growth, thankful for the time there, and excited to keep pressing forward. Pick maybe one or two of the lessons that you feel like you learned, whether it was on the field or off down there. What comes to mind quickest for you? I mean, it's tough to pick just one or two things. You learn so many things through leadership, through being a husband, being a father, facing adversity, handling success, navigating the NFL in general as a player. So all those things were crucial in my growth and to where I'm at today. A lot after the game. But again, how good was it to have him back? And is he a type of guy that you throw him the ball? You feel like he's gonna end up with it if it's anywhere close? Yeah, it was great to have AJ back. I've talked about how I love throwing AJ the ball and love playing with him. And he kind of showed us why on what day it was, that Thursday. It was the heck of a playmaker. He makes plays all over the field. Definitely have a lot of confidence if I'm throwing it in his area that if he has a chance to go get it, he's gonna go make the play. So yeah, excited to have AJ back and look forward to building on what we did last week. You guys failed out of a lot of third and dangerous situations. Imagine you feel like the next step is to avoid those. Yeah, no doubt. You don't wanna be in third and long really at all. And definitely not as many times as we were kill ourselves with penalties and negative plays. And don't wanna put yourself in that position because on average, you're not gonna convert nearly the number that we did. So definitely wanna be more efficient on first and second down, keep ourselves out of the negative situations and have manageable third downs. How much did you feel like that you guys recharged? How much did you feel like you guys recharged with the minibuy and even though you had a later buy, still got another weekend off to kind of recuperate and maybe get some more guys back? Yeah, no doubt. I think we took advantage of the time mentally and physically just to kind of get healthy. Obviously, dealing with some COVID stuff, but it was good to be able to spend time with family over the holiday, recharge mentally again, just coming off the buy. I wasn't like it's been a long time, but anytime you can kind of take to recharge and get yourself geared up for what we have in front of us. Now there's a lot of excitement moving forward to finish the season strong. You've been sacked 45 times. The Dolphins lead the league with 45 sacks. So what really stands out when you look at their pass rush and how they're able to get to the quarterback? Yeah, they're relentless. They do a good job. They're bringing pressure all over the place. One of the highest percentage pressure teams. They're bringing cover zero more than most any team out there. So they're putting seven, eight guys on the line of scrimmage and they're coming after you, making you get the ball out. So definitely have to have a plan for that. And then we have to block them. The times that they're not gonna bring pressure, they're relentless pass rushers. Not a lot of big names, so to say, pass rushers, but guys that are relentless, they're rushing, they don't stop, they fight hard. And if you give them an inch or an edge to get to the quarterback, they're gonna take it. How do you know who's gonna get the week when Mike said that Tyler's back, but you still don't know who for sure is gonna be available on your offensive line. Still don't know who's gonna be available at receiver. How do you get through the week with that? Is it through Zooms? Is it through past experience with guys and how do you approach it yourself? Yeah, I know that. It's not ideal, but we've been in a lot of situations this year that haven't been ideal. So we fight through it. We take advantage of the opportunities we get, whether it's on Zoom, communicating. A lot of the guys have been here, so we have that going for us. But yeah, you just try to communicate, take advantage of the technology we have, which includes Zoom. So it's not like they're just at home completely missing out on what we're doing. They're still able to go through the install, still able to hear the coaching points as we cover the defense, cover what we're going to do as our plan of attack. And hopefully they can bring that with them whenever they step back in the building. The AJ question, but do you just naturally feel more confident in terms of things like tight window throws, throwing further downfield? Natural to feel more confident when you've got a guy of AJ's caliber out there again? Yeah, no doubt. Whenever you have confidence in the player on the other side of the pass, it allows you to just trust him and cut it loose and then let him go make a play. It may not be the perfect look, but when you have a guy who's showing you time and time again that he'll make a play for you, you can cut it loose.
