It's about consistency.
Ryan Tannehill
You face distractions, you face adversity in life and you have to be able to handle it, you have to be able to fight through it and become a better man and become a better player because of it.
I want to finish my career as a Dolphin and win a championship here. That's what they brought me here for and that's what I came to do.
Everyone has a bad day now and then.
That's the nature of the business. If you're not doing the job good enough then they're looking to replace you.
My wife gives me a hard time, whether it's playing games with people we don't know too well and I'm intense. I could probably turn off a few people to probably being around me because of that.
Don't try to anticipate or worry about something you can't control.
There are always things that I am looking to improve upon, but I think I am learning from every rep and filing those reps away.
It's fun, being able to study the game the entire day.
I'm my own player.
Quarterbacks are the leaders of the team, and I want to try to get guys going. That's a job of a leader. That's a job of a quarterback.
You don't want to be an iron fist all the time; at least I don't. I like to pick my spots and have a reason for everything that I do.
I've just tried to do everything I can personally to be the best quarterback I can be, whether it's doing extra work for my rehab, extra work in the film room, on the board, extra work out on the field with my drops and footwork.
Guys are going to get dinged and banged up.
I'm a competitor.
I know what I can bring to the table wherever it is.
That's the big thing - having the other guys' respect in the locker room. You can't come in with no respect and try to own the place.
We desire to win, doing the little things right.
It's part of my role to push the guys around me to be the best they can be. I think that's part of being a leader.
In those long-yardage situations, the percentages are low.
I definitely wanted to be playing the quarterback position.
I wasn't a huge pro fan growing up; I wasn't loyal to any one team. Don't really know the divisions, even really the conferences. I know most of the conferences, but some of those, I really have no clue.
I want the ball in my hands.
I have a lot of competitive juices, and I want to go out and compete on the football field every day.
It kind of sucks being the guy taking the knees at the end, because everyone wants to see some action - no one wants to see you taking knees in the Pro Bowl.
I can't say I've always been a Miami Heat fan, but ever since I got down to Miami, I'm a fan of many Miami teams.
Your personal time with God is huge, your quiet time, your study, prayer, but being around other Christian followers... and the church just feeds you. You come away feeling rejuvenated, you get a great message.
It's slanderous to report things I didn't say, to degrade my reputation, it's sickening to me.
The passing game is timing and trust, expecting those guys to be in the right spot at the right time.
Getting to the playoffs and going to a Super Bowl is the goal.
I love being on the field.
As a competitor, you love that. You love having to go earn a victory.
It's the playoffs. Everything kind of amps up a little bit.
I want to be a great player someday.
To see my name on the back of an NFL jersey for an organization like the Miami Dolphins, I couldn't be more excited. It's the moment of a lifetime.
I'm going to go out and compete every day.
We just have to move forward and learn from past experiences.
It feels good to go out and execute the game plan, have some fun, have some long sustained drives and convert third downs.
That's kind of a classless move to celebrate when a guy is injured.
It's a fast game, and you've got to play fast.
I'm definitely rooting for the Heat.
I'm going to play the quarterback position the way coaches install the plays; I'm going to go through the reads just like they install it.
Some throws we're just trying to make in practice to see if it's something we want to move with on during the season.
It's fun to go out and play and not think about it.
Obviously, you have to play well to keep your spot.
That's the job of a quarterback, to go out there and be confident with the communication of the play, in the huddle and with my play.
You can't go out there and play scared.
If you play scared, your decision making slows down and that's when you run into more trouble.
You never know what can happen.
I've seen how this thing goes, the waves, the ins and outs of the season.
