Over the past four years there was no rush to get to long distance away games. Under Joe Philbin the team would fly in the day before a game and work around any jetlag that might accompany a long trip. We already know that Adam Gase is no Joe Philbin.
"“Just kind of some of the research that we did with guys from other sports, as far as guys going from East coast to West coast,” Gase said with Seattle reporters on a conference call Wednesday. “With this being the first game of the year we were actually able to do it and we felt like if we could get out there a day earlier than we normally do, we felt like we had a chance to get our guys out and practice, but we could use that Thursday as a travel day. We were able to do a short meeting on Thursday, jump on the plane, get there. We’re going to do one thing so we can get guys kind of moving around a little bit, then practice Friday and Saturday do our walk thru. We just wanted to try to give our guys the best chance they could to feel as good as they could heading into Sunday.” – Via ProFootballTalk.com"
Gase is entering his first year as an NFL head coach but he has been surrounded by some very good coaches over his career including former Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban.
The Dolphins will play three games on the West coast this year including back to back weekends in Los Angeles and San Diego. It remains to be known if Gase will keep the team on the West coast for the entire week but it appears that will be likely.
