About how their offense needs to improve after getting just 104 yards in the Jets game, Davone Bess said:
"This is one of those weeks where we have to go back to drawing board." (SFSS)
SFSS Note: "Bess caught 17 passes for 140 yards in the first three games, but his production has slowed down drastically over the past four. Since Chad Henne's taken over as the starting quarterback Bess hasn't contributed more than 18 receiving yards in any of the past four games. What's worse is that the Dolphins' slot receiver has had a fumbling problem over the past two weeks. He's fumbled three times, but fortunately one never counted because the Jets didn't review the play courtesy of a great rush job by the Dolphins."
About the fumbling problems Bess has had over their past 2 games, Miami head coach Tony Sparano said:
"This thing all of a sudden popped up in the last couple of games. As far as confidence I think Davone is a pretty confident football player. I would hope that he has a short memory, that he can put it behind him, but it isn't so much just putting it behind him. You have to work on some of the fundamentals; you have to be conscious of some of the fundamentals in those situations. When something like that happens, it is a little bit like disease and I think the only way you get it out of your system is you go back and you concentrate on the fundamentals and get things done in practice the right way and then it will carry over." (SFSS)
About how he cannot fumble anymore punts, Bess said:
"I just took my eyes off the ball at the last minute. I was going to return it. I felt the defender coming and took my eyes off the ball and then at the last minute tried to catch it. It's just me trying to do too much. I've got to learn it's OK to fair catch it. If I had it wouldn't have been a big deal because of the momentum we had. It was a mistake. Situations like this are what you learn from and I bet it won't happen again." (SFSS)
