The NFL investigation comes to Miami this week. I am still bowled over that Jonathan Martin has taken this approach. With that said, I do not think this team has acted any different than other NFL teams.

I am very critical of Joe Philbin on many things. However, one thing he is, is a good man. He has strong character. He is not a liar. He think he cares genuinely about his players. It is obvious that Joe is a family first person. To think that Philbin would let a systematic bullying situation occur is laughable.

Also, while Jim Turner might coach with an edge, he is no different than Howard Mudd or Alex Gibbs...two legendary line coaches. Please tell me how to quantify that he "picked" on Martin MORE than other players.

While I think it is great that many players say they will be "honest" with the investigation, I would be careful how much I would answer. Jon Martin is a snake. What is to stop him from using the investigation answers within a criminal or civil court proceeding. There is no immunity here. Martin's end game is so far beyond finding a "safe work environment". It is vital that the NFLPA have lawyers available to protect their members from incriminating themselves in this witch hunt.

Also, this report will be laughable if the names of complainers are redacted. How is the accused supposed to defend themselves versus an anonymous voice? If a person does not want to put their name by a complaint because they are scared of repercussions, then the complaint is not significant enough to express.

This investigation will prove to be a devastating distraction this week as the team prepares for the Carolina Panthers. While Carolina is a brutal matchup to begin with, the distraction makes the task even more difficult. Jonathan Martin has proved to be one of the most difficult opponent to defend...something I never would have thought of saying in the summer.
 
I dont wish luck to anyone I just wish if there is a problem its solved and if not I hope the team is cleared of this stench.
 
Evil flourishes when good people do nothing. The F O, coaching staff and players interviewed should just tell the truth. If they saw nothing and heard nothing, then I guess that nothing happened. However, Jonathan Martin's interview with Wells went for 7 hours and he probably presented a lot of information. There was either a problem or there wasn't. I hope that there will be no recrimination against those interviewed for being honest. This is actually the opportunity to clean things up. If senior people are given the opportunity to sweep all of this under the carpet by intimidating personnel, the problems will still be there. Honesty is the best policy.
 
"Telling the truth" can allow a snake and his snake lawyer go to the police and charge people criminally.

Truth is we don't know anything. Philbin seems like a man with values but we really don't know. He could be lying through his teeth to save his ass... We have no idea what kind of coach Turner is, and we don't know if Martin is a "snake", or legitimately dealing with emotional issues or both?? Our oline is in shambles, and team will be even more distracted this week due to the invest... The coaches, in the end, are responsible for the team culture and are to blame for this... Whether it be condoning or not knowing about behaviour, or not being approachable, they are to blame and need to be held accountable

yeah, I would go about this, like any other situation. short answers. don't go on and on, dragging out answers. yes and no.
 
This needs to be put to bed asap though. Carolina isn't as easy as we thought earlier this season and we have pivotal games vs the Jests, Bills, Pats, and Steelers to seal our playoff fate. Get this investigation over with asap

I think the media has beaten this to death. I would imagine this will go away pretty quietly from here on out. 7 Hour interview? Ridiculous.
