Kyle Allen

Visitors Postgame Presser - Houston Texans


Dolphins - 30, Texans - 15

KYLE ALLEN: Just not good enough for me. Just didn't put our team in any type of position to win today. The interception early was just a bad ball, I can't do. That's actually a pick-six with them getting the ball on the 2-yard line. And then we're down 17-0 at that point. I've got to be a lot better if we want to win games.

Q. What were you thinking when you guys did get the scores in the second half? Defense did get some stops, (indiscernible). What was the mindset there?

KYLE ALLEN: You're just trying to fight. You're just trying to stay in the game. It's nice to score. But it's too little, too late at that point. We're down 30-0. That's more the mentality than anything. You're just trying to fight and execute and just keep playing.

Q. [Inaudible]?

KYLE ALLEN: I mean, people are frustrated. Rightfully so. That 30-0 at halftime, after all the work you put in during the week, it's not where you expect to be. Frustrating.

Q. Was it moving real fast for you in the first half maybe?

KYLE ALLEN: No, we just didn't execute. We just weren't executing. I think offense, we struggled early. And, like I said, the interception put us in a really bad spot and we blinked and it was 17-0. We just got to be able to start faster and play better early in the game.

Q. To not be able to provide that spark today from the change, (indiscernible) going forward? How do you evaluate that for yourself?

KYLE ALLEN: I'm just here to execute. It's more about I didn't execute my job today. And I know at the quarterback position you can make things right when things are wrong. That's my job to do that. I've just got to play a lot better.

Q. Lovie mentioned how you're still building as a team, where does your confidence fit in there?

KYLE ALLEN: I'm confident. I know I'm a much better player than what I showed today. Every team is still building, especially us. We have one win. We're trying to just get a win every week. So, I mean, we've just got to keep pushing.

Q. Other than turnovers, things that you identified, I can do this better, I can do this better, fix this?

KYLE ALLEN: I've got to watch this. It's tough to say just right after the game. But I'm sure there's some decisions, some techniques, stuff here and there. I've got to watch it and see.

Q. With the pressure they had today, was there anything that -- how would you evaluate how just right off the bat here, what did they do well that kind of got to you guys today?

KYLE ALLEN: I mean, I thought the pressure was fine. I thought there was times where I could have stepped up in that area and got to my checkdowns quicker and outlets quicker. I don't think the pressure was that big of an issue. I think they played well in the back end, and then they got a lead quick. So they played soft the rest of the game. When they play soft, you have to take your dinks and dunks down the field until you score. That's tough to do. We've just got to play better earlier.

Q. (Indiscernible) off the runways early, too, where do you think that came from?

KYLE ALLEN: I mean, it keeps going back to the same thing. When you're down early like that, you've got to start throwing it more. You've got to try to get back in the game.

We were calling less runs because we needed to score. So I think if it was a closer game, and we ran the ball more, we might have had more success with it.
