I listened to the interview, and I really dont see what the big deal is. That "this is my last year in Miami" quote is due to him being a free agent at the end of the year. He went on to say he will keep his mouth shut until the end of the season, and then hopefully they could get a deal done. ALL football players care about their contract status, so its not surprising that he mentioned his. He might not be a gamechanger, and I think that all Dolphin fans will tell you we are much better off with the Langford, Soliai, Starks starting front, but he might have been dissapointed that he didnt get a chance to start, thats understandable.
He seemed like he was a low key, respectful guy. He was always saying, "yes sir" etc, and it really isnt uncommon not to be THAT close with the coaching staff. During practice im sure he sees/hears more the the d-line coach than he does Nolan, on game days Nolan isnt even on the sidelines, hes up in a box. Sometimes things players say get blown way out of proportion, and I think thats the case here. Also remember hes a young guy, and probably not used to being interviewed. You can tell when Ricky has his show, he has been there and done that, and wont say anything that would be even borderline controversial. McDaniel just doesnt have that skill yet, but I dont think he was slamming the team, or seemed like he didnt want to be here at all.
