“The Strain.”

First-year coach Adam Gase explained to reporters on Wednesday what it means and where it came from.
“It’s just something that we’ve been kind of talking about, probably since training camp,” Gase said. “[Strength and conditioning coach Dave] Puloka kind of jumped on it and we were just talking about finishing every play, straining every play, making sure that we were just selling out and it kind of became one of those sayings a lot of guys are using as far as making sure that we are straining every play. Our biggest thing that we keep talking about is, you never know when that one play is going to make a difference in the game. There’s no reason, if we are on the one-yard line and we have goal-line out there, let’s hold them out of the end zone and give the next play a chance. Maybe something good happens. A good example is in that San Diego game, we kept fighting, fighting and fighting. All of a sudden, we get an interception after we just dropped a punt return. That was a good example of what we were talking about as far as we’ve got guys straining. They are trying to win that one play.”
An even better example could be the Rams game, in which the Dolphins trailed by 10 points very late and somehow won the game.
They have six more Sundays to win games, and if they keep winning games it’s hard to imagine that they won’t be in the playoffs, and that Gase won’t be named the coach of the year.

I thought I was going to read he's a big fan of the TV show w the same name and found some way to incorporate nasty, zombie-turning, apocalyptic viruses into his coaching bag of metaphors.

As long as he doesnt think the little kid is a good actor.
 
I really expected this would have more to do with the show and less to do with pooping.
 
For multiple seasons, I have seen the Dolphins not finish plays like the Broncos or other playoff caliber teams. There were exceptions like Juice, but the majority of players did not finish. Last week Steen knocking the CB off of Landry is an example of other players buying in to this philosophy. It is interesting to know the term the coaches are using for finishing the play.
 
The tv show is alright. I'm not sure why we are talking about the show though...
 
No wonder both Gase and Ajayi were wearing a t-shirt with the word "STRAIN" on it the other day. This is becoming a change in culture.

Unless the players are banging Rex Ryans wife (or literally any other pig beast from Buffalo) I'm sure they're safe from that type of virus. Although I bet Rex wishes he had one of those mouth sucker things to get her hooves all the way into his mouth.
