Hello......I apologize...I could not attend this morning's practice.
I just want to put in a little props to DENNY....who did post some very informative news a while back---on some of the in-house problems that DARYL and WANNY have been going through....plus he did add some insight on what the Dolphins may do if they were to beef up the Defensive Line....with implying that the Dolphins may think about just outright releasing DG...if they did sign up a KENNY MIXON...which they did not of course....but his underlying point was there.
Now comes this today at the Herald site....that the Dolphins are indeed thinking of releasing GARDENER....citing that GARDENERS attitude is becoming very self-centered. Now.....who is the source? I sure do not know....but I do know this...
Daryl Gardener missed todays practice....and from what I understand....it was due to the old phrase of "PERSONAL REASONS".
I have heard... that indeed there has been a few teammates who are very upset with GARDENERS attitude....and it has to do with the way that DG has been treating the rookies...the younger players. From what I understand.....he is really bossing and to the point....belittling (hazing?) some of the young guys. There has been complaints by some....that DG has taken this thing to the point---beyond the erratic and unnecessary level.
Now...this may or may not have to do with the non-appearance at Dolphin Camp today....he may have indeed been personally excused.
The one thing that stands though is this: This situation concerning DG and his future status with the Dolphins...is definately worth watching from this point on. It is true....that there is not that much of a relationship between DG and WANNY.....and there is no doubt....that DG is not one of the most popular guys in that locker room.
The Dolphins are not happy with even that restructured contract that GARDNER eventually caved into doing. The Dolphins just feel that DG's chronic back problems will eventually come into play and really cost the team....a heck of a lot of money in due time. They really....when you get down to it.....see GARDENER as a MAJOR RISK.....thats on the field...and inside the locker room.
The bottom line: IMO.....I really believe that the Dolphins are very concerned about DG's attitude in that locker room....and they wonder about his erratic, and often selfish behavior....as he just seems to walk and talk and do just about anything he wants to do. The hulking man walks around camp...like an intimidating force....and it just rubs some of the guys the wrong way....that is the problem with DG in a nutshell.
Daryl Gardener leads by intimidation and fear.....and this is what has the coaches worried about him. Is he worth the risk....health wise and in the locker room?
That is the question? Right Denny?
Like I said.....there is something about this situation....and it bears watching. I personally am not aware of any imminent release of Daryl Gardener. But I would not be surprised if it did happen...in the near future. When Wanny thinks of a team leader.....he is not thinking of Daryl Gardener, believe me.
