http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachp...serious-plan-to-teach-study-and-learn-better/It was five days before Halloween, and it was frightening.
The Dolphins hadn’t just lost again on national television; they had been humiliated, 40-0 at Baltimore.
Coach Adam Gase was embarrassed. He seemed stunned. And he seemed determined.
So after a rough night of sleep, Gase held a news conference in Davie in which he laid it out publicly like never before.
“I don’t think it’s a retain information thing,” Gase said. “It’s we’re not putting the work in. That’s what it comes down to. If you can’t remember it, you shouldn’t be in the NFL. At the end of the day, guys have got to actually take this stuff home and study it. They’re not going to just learn it all in meetings. We’ve got to find guys that will actually put forth effort to actually remember this stuff and really, it starts with our best players.”
Gase was publicly calling out his players, not for their lack of skill, but their lack of preparation.
