Miami Dolphins Postgame Quotes

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano

(On his reflection of the season) - "It's definitely too early. I have no reflection on the season right now. Sit down and watch tape. From my end, when you turn the ball over the number of times that we turned it over this season, and give up the number of big plays that we've given up this season, you're 7-9."

(On if he expected the team to be better than 7-9 this season) - "Yes."

(On Tyler Thigpen's play) - "Tyler came in and got us back in the game, made a couple real heads-up plays. That's some of the stuff he did in Kansas City. He can move around, throw the ball, and get out of trouble just a little bit, so he did that. Made a nice throw to [Davone] Bess, unfortunately, ended up with that interception there at the end going for a turnover."

(On his assessment of Pat White's play) - "Had a couple series in the game, ran it a little bit, tried to get him going that way. Tried to run it with him. I think he had one throw, three called throws. The play he got hurt on was a called throw. It was a naked, and that's all I can say. I think he was 0-1 and ran the ball"

(On what he told the team in the locker room after the game) - "I told them that 7-9 is mediocre and that mediocrity is not really accepted here. It's just not. That group fought really hard, they kept themselves in a lot of football games, I'm proud of them for doing that. The Pittsburg Steelers are the defending champions because they find ways to win in those situations. They find ways to win, and we couldn't find ways to win.

That's something that we have to do, we have to be able to get there."

I like Sparano. I want him to stay our coach for a long time. I love how so many people on here thought he was a God last season and now they call him a moron. Everyone knew we probably would have a down year this year with a tough schedule and the injuries too. Next season everyone will once again realize how great of a coach he is.

He sounds pretty sour on White and he rightfully should be. It hasn't gone lost on him that all White ever wants to do is tuck and run, even when the play isn't designed as such.
