The Miami Dolphins coach who screamed and cursed and chased an official at the end of his team’s latest loss was in a more reflective mood 24 hours later.“I get over things pretty quickly http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-kenyan-drake-jersey ,” Brian Flores said Monday. “It’s an emotional game. It’s my anger, but it’s for the players. I’m upset for them.”The Dolphins (3-10) lost 22-21 at the Jets on Sunday after a pass interference penalty was imposed on Miamivia replay review in the final minute, negating a fourth-and-18 situation for New York.Three plays later, the Jets kicked the winning goal.“Say what you want about the call,” Flores said. “We didn’t make enough plays to win the game. It wasn’t just that call.”WHAT’S WORKINGFlores’ patchwork offense was remarkably productive considering the personnel available, thanks in part to the unlikely duo of receiver Isaiah Ford and running back Patrick Laird.“Just when you thought this season couldn’t get any crazier,” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said.Ford, a third-year pro who entered the game with two career catches, made the most of his opportunity after receivers DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson left and entered the concussion protocol. Ford finished with six catches for 92 yards.“I’ve had confidence in myself the entire time that I can play at this level,” Ford said.Laird, an undrafted rookie, made his first NFL start as Miami’s fourth starter at running back this year. He contributed 48 yards rushing and 38 receiving.The Dolphins had 22 first downs Womens Walt Aikens Jersey , lost only one turnover and punted just once.WHAT NEEDS HELPFor the first time since their historically bad start in September, the Dolphins failed to score a touchdown. They stayed in the game only because Jason Sanders kicked a team-record seven field goals in eight attempts.The stalling in scoring territoryrepresented a reversal for the Dolphins. Since Week 6 their touchdown rate in the red zone had been 80%, best in the NFL.“There were a couple of throws that I missed, and couple of things we could have done better,” Fitzpatrick said.Given the injuries at receiver, Flores said he was content to kick field goals and keep the game close.“I’m a defense guy. I’m a field-goal guy. That’s kind of how I’m wired,” he said. “Do you want to punch in it in the red zone? Always. But not every game is that way.”STOCK UPSanders is a front-runner to win AFC special teams player of the week for the third time this year, and the second time in a row. He made kicks of 22, 25, 28, 31, 53 DeVante Parker Jersey , 47 and 37 yards.Sanders missed a 34-yarder wide right when a low snap wasn't handled cleanly by holder Matt Haack. That kept Sanders from tying Rob Bironas' NFL record of eight field goals for Tennessee in 2007.STOCK DOWNFlores and his staff continued to juggle the lineups in both lines.Defensive end Taco Charlton leads Miami with five sacks, twice the total of any teammate, but was a healthy scratch. Coaches want his run defense to improve.Rookie guard Mike Deiter, who had started every game, was demoted to a reserve role and played as a sub. Rookie guard Shaq Calhoun, who has started three games, was healthy but inactive.INJURIESParker has had a breakout yearin his fifth NFL season because he has finally been able to stay healthy — until now. He needs 118 yards for his first 1,000-yard receiving season.KEY NUMBER65 — Fitzpatrick had 65 yards rushing, the second-highest total in his 15-year career. He has 186 yards rushing this season, 15 less than team leader Mark Walton, who was released last month.NEXT STEPSThe Dolphins play in the same road stadium for a second week in a row Sunday when they're at the New York Giants (2-10). For the first time this season, the Dolphins will play a team with a worse record http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-reshad-jones-jersey , but they’re nonetheless early underdogs for the 14th time in as many games. DAVIE, Fla. (AP)Ryan Tannehill dropped back to pass and the pocket quickly collapsed, making it just like old times.An onrushing end merely waved as he went by because Wednesday’s drills involved no contact, which spared Tannehill a blow. Instead, he scooted away on his reconstructed left knee toward the sideline and encountered a linebacker, who also pulled up at the last moment.The hits will come soon enough, but for now Tannehill is healthy and optimistic about leading a turnaround by the Miami Dolphins.He’s practicing this week for the first time since a torn left ACL in training camp ended his 2017 season before it began. A serious injury to the same knee forced him to miss the final four games in 2016, meaning he hasn’t played in nearly 18 months.”It was a long year, some dark times,” Tannehill said, speaking publicly for the first time since he was hurt last August.Tannehill has received medical clearance without limitations and isn’t even wearing a knee brace this week, although he plans to wear one in games.”It’s purely to prevent what started the whole train wreck Womens Jerome Baker Jersey ,” he said.Tannehill said his return to practice stirred painful memories of watching workouts last year while sitting inside the team complex, his injured leg in a brace and propped on a chair.”It feels amazing to be back out there,” he said. ”It has been a lot of work to put a helmet back on and step on the grass again. I was just telling the guys, I can remember sitting in the cafeteria looking through the glass like a little kid that’s not allowed to go outside and play.”Also back were linebacker Raekwon McMillan and cornerback Tony Lippett, both of whom missed the entire 2017 season because of injuries. The entire roster was on hand, although 35-year-old running back Frank Gore was on the field only briefly and won’t be involved in drills much this spring to keep him healthy.Tannehill, a starter since his rookie season in 2012, has never played in the postseason. But he and the Dolphins are optimistic he can regain the form he showed in 2016, when he enjoyed the best stretch of his career and helped put the team in playoff contention before his injury.”I feel like I kind of went on a run there,” Tannehill said. ”I felt like I was finally starting to play really good football, being in command of the offense and understanding what we were trying to accomplish with every play call.”With Jay Cutler as an emergency replacement for Tannehill, the Dolphins slipped to 6-10 last year. Gase is so confident about Tannehill that they didn’t draft a quarterback last month.”It’s great to have him back out there Stephone Anthony Jersey ,” Gase said. “As long as we don’t have a setback, I feel good. We’re in a good place. I’ve seen him move around just as well as he ever has.”Newcomer Josh Sitton, a four-time Pro Bowl guard, offered an endorsement of his new QB after just two practices together. Sitton took particular note of one strike Tannehill threw.”He rolled out after a play action and was running to his left,” Sitton said. ”I thought, `That’s pretty impressive.”’Tannehill didn’t miss a game in his first four NFL seasons, enduring 212 sacks behind a leaky line without serious injury. He said he’s not worried about his knee holding up, and won’t be thinking about it on the field.The knee probably won’t be tested with contact until the preseason in August.”I’m never eager to get hit,” Tannehill said with a chuckle. ”I’d be sadistic. But I don’t think about it any different than I would any other season going into a new season. It’s a physical game, and I love that.”—
