On the challenge for getting Steve Slaton ready on a short week and a West Coast trip: "Well, I mean the challenge is just the terminology. We (will) be flipping the terminology more than anything else. I mean the running back, obviously they know how to run and I think most of the things that you're running one way or the other they've seen before. It isn't something that they haven't run or haven't seen it's just what's it called and how do I get there. And I think that's the biggest challenge, you know, in a situation when you get a player and you're putting him on a plane and taking him cross country in three days."
On Steve Slaton's work this week encouraging for him to play Sunday: "Yeah, it sure has. He was able to jump in there on day one and he took a few plays and was able to take a few plays here today so we'll see."

Running back Steve Slaton, signed Wednesday, said he has picked up the system well and is prepared to fill in for Thomas, who has 202 rushing yards over the past two games. Slaton has experience as a returner but said the Dolphins have only been working him at running back.
