Today vs Tampa was the first time under Flores with real players (2019 was bums off the street) that the team’s play reminded me of the Joe Philbin days that would get smacked around by teams like Baltimore. Thought we were done with that.

Defense super soft, can’t shed blocks, get dragged for extra yards, no resistance, avoiding contact, jogging. Don’t have anyone on offense that players are scared to tackle head on either. What happened? How did the team get so soft so fast? Is anyone on the roster a “nasty, gritty” player? When and who were the last such players to play for Miami?

I seriously think the players have checked out. I hate to think that but by watching them play how can you not believe that?

Elandon Roberts is the most physical player we have on the team. He can be a real thumper. I think Holland will end up being a physical safety. Robert Hunt is probably the most physical olineman we have but that's not saying much because our line is so bad.
 
Players aren’t dumb. They know when leadership is not cutting it and they don’t play 100%.

That does not make sense. If they don't give their all they will not have a job.

This isn't college

If you think Baker and Howard gave maximum effort today I want to smoke what you were having during that game. talent will always have opportunities in the NFL, just need the right coach and system to unlock it.
 
The post is spot on. We seem to have regressed back into the mentally soft team that crumbles under the first sign of adversity. The first 2 years under Flo showed the opposite. We were scrappy and fought all 4 quarters even with little talent, but this season we seem to have really taken a major step back. There is something amiss internally.
