Buffalo 35, Dolphins 0
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: I mean, obviously you never want to see a player go down, especially one of your teammates. Thinking about him right now.
But, I mean, I don't want this to sound bad, but it's part of the game. Just being ready to go. My number was called. It wasn't my first time in this situation, so yeah.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: No, we just got off the field, I showered real fast, got here. I'm sure I'll talk to him later.
Q. How are you feeling?
JACOBY BRISSETT: Still standing up here smiling. Got another game next week.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: Yeah, for sure. I mean, in the NFL you don't throw the ball to everybody. Like I said, it was one week. Get an opportunity to correct it, go out, get better from there.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: As far as what?
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: Well, yeah, that's what went wrong (smiling).
I mean, I can't tell you right now. I got to go back and watch the film, really be able to assess it. Yeah, can't do that.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: It's hard to put your thumb on it right now. I mean, like obviously everything didn't go right. Everything didn't go wrong. But we just got to find a way to see what we did well, build off of that.
Going to be very important we watch the film, be critical of ourselves, try to build off that, build off our good plays.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: Say that again.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: What do you mean by 'stand out'?
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: That's hard. They were just coming. I don't know how to answer that. Sorry.
Q. Were you expecting that level of aggression?
JACOBY BRISSETT: Oh, yeah, of course. It's the NFL. It's a Division game. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're going to go back and we're going to see it, we're going to see the small things we missed upon, that we could have did right, myself included. Correct it for next time.
Q. You see the game differently than we do. What was Buffalo doing at the start of the game, seven, eight men on the line of scrimmage, blitzing.
JACOBY BRISSETT: I mean, they do that. That's Buffalo's defense. You turn on the film, they show that on film. We were prepared for it. Obviously it didn't show that we were prepared for it.
Like I said, like the last question, you go back and look at those small details when we said we had the answers for those plays, just going back and correcting it.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: Say it again. Sorry.
Q. As a backup, when you see the starter go down, what goes through your mind when you see the starter go down?
JACOBY BRISSETT: Well, I don't refer to myself as the backup quarterback, for one.
Two, I mean, I'm always throwing the ball, keeping my arm loose. You never know. Like I said, injuries happen in this league. You always got to be ready.
Just on the sideline, I'm throwing constantly, as much as possible, keeping my legs warm. Obviously you guys seen me go the quarterback sneak, so I still got to be ready, yeah.
Q. We don't know yet if you'll be starting next Sunday or multiple games. How would you describe your comfort level at the moment with your teammates, with the offense?
JACOBY BRISSETT: I mean, obviously work in progress. You're never done until your done. I feel good. We build off of good plays from this week, go back to work, go back to the drawing board. We got a good game coming up.
It will be interesting.
Q. Were they blitzing you as much, when you process the offense?
JACOBY BRISSETT: Well, I pretty much got in at the start of the game. What do you mean?
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: But they came out and played what we saw on film, honestly. It was no different. I mean, probably a couple more extra pressures. But for the most part they came out and played what we thought they were going to do.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: Like every week. I'll prepare as a starter. I know that's cliché, but that's how I live my life. You never know. Like I said, I've been in these situations before. I think that served me well.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: I'm a starter.
Q. A lot of dropped passes today. Did you say anything to your receivers?
JACOBY BRISSETT: Yeah, we'll get better next time. It's not always on the receiver. Sometimes it's on me, bad ball.
Like I said, go back and watch the film, get another week of preparation to get out there, continue to throw and catch balls. I mean, it's early in the season, second game of the season. It's not like the house is burning.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: No, that's not deflating. It's too early in the game. It's never deflating. It's part of the game. Drops are part of the game, bad throws are part of the game.
I think he responded well. He came out and made some more plays, so yeah.
Q. You see yourself as a starter. Why not go to an organization that will give you a chance to compete for the job?
JACOBY BRISSETT: I think in this NFL nobody gives you anything, right? You have to go out there and compete, be ready whenever your opportunity comes, however it comes. You got to go out there when you get your opportunity and make the most of it.
Q. What approach have you taken throughout your career in communication with the offensive line? Sometimes things go well, sometimes they don't. How do you as a quarterback try to help the situation?
JACOBY BRISSETT: I mean, it's not just on them, it's on me, it's on the receivers, on the running backs. As an offense, that's what we understand. It's not just on the O-line. You go out there, the O-line. It's not them. Sometimes I got to throw the ball, sometimes somebody has to get open. It's a mixture of everybody.
I think in my career when those types of things have happened, it's always going back, just like, Hey, let's not finger point and put this on one group or person, let's see how we can all help the situation.
Q. (No microphone.)
JACOBY BRISSETT: I mean, like I said, go out there, prepare, make the most of it. I mean, yeah, a starter. No shock. I think they do that around the league.
That's no excuse. You go out there and compete and work hard. Obviously it will be geared toward me. You just go out there and play football.
Y'all have a good one.
