It's Philbin against the world.

I'm trying to imagine Philbin on that long flight to London. LMAO, that's one long uncomfortable flight. I hope they don't have seats next to each other

Never said they're not playing for themselves. I merely said they have no reason to play for their coach anymore. Case in point? Brian Hartline who scores a TD only to pull off a stupid team celebration. The TD will help him in any contract negotiations although it hurt the team and possibly the coach. If they're playing for themselves and not the coach, we're screwed. You might wanna have your "ridiculous" back now...

Just sounded like another excuse to me. You did mention playing for coach, my bad.

But comparing hartline contract situation to Ryan's doesn't make sense to me because Ryan extension will be more tied to the teams fate than his individual stats. Your argument works for Brian but I don't see it to be the case for RT17.

Hogwash .Tannehill needs to grow a set , and get the job done. That's the bottom line . He's been playing like crap for a while now. Kudos to Joe for putting his foot on this guys neck and letting him know he has to improve and fast. This would have never happened if Tannehill would have taken a accountability for his play instead of throwing the coach under the bus in the first place . What did he think was going to happen? Imo If Joe doesn't come down on this guy for his play then he will really lose the locker room. Receivers are running wide open for Christ sakes.

That's right. I haven't heard any players bitchin about this. For all we know, the players are behind Philbin's approach to Tannehill.

Perhaps, the players are unhappy with Tannehill. We have no idea. It's just all speculation.

All I know is we win Sunday and all will be better.

No, if htey 'ruined' Henne, it was by having an air raid siren play any time he held on to the football for more than 2.5 seconds in practice.

That's something that they actually did.

Yeah....as someone who played the position, that would annoy the **** out of me, and really screw with my head, probably leading to hesitant throws. It probably clouded his mind.

Such an apt marketing slogan, as always.

Man, you really have to feel for the Dolphins marketing folks over the years. What an unenviable task trying to dress up a rotted pig corpse.

As a sidebar to that video (and I've noticed this in other instances as well), why the hell do we still have players wearing the old logo, THREE YEARS after it has been changed. And looking closely, it appears that the lettering is actually the newer version, but the actual logo is the old version.

This team can't even change a logo correctly.

That's just bullcrap. Kudos to Joe? If you want to destroy a team this is what you do. I run a very large company, my company, and you never do this unless you want to destroy all the leadership authority you have, and alienate those who do support you. You take the person who is underperforming aside and address your concerns in private. How would you feel if your boss called you out in front of the whole company--the whole world? Even if you were a lousy employee you never do that. What a frickin idiot. That's really bad leadership, and that's why you are seeing really credible guys like JT and Dungy coming out in RT's defense.

If he was unhappy with RT, and had already addressed his concerns in private, which has not been reported, then just sit him for Christ sake. When the media asks about it you just say "coaches decision." That's it. That's what Don Shula would have done--he would have kept it in the locker room. Airing all this crap in the media AND further alienating ALL the players and the fans, is a pattern with Joe. He did the same thing last year by getting rid of outspoken players on the leadership team, rather than having an honest dialogue with them. He did it with Richie.

He is tone deaf. He is a fearful leader who prefers having a bunch of followers on his team rather than other leaders. He identifies leadership threats and dissent around him and gets rid of them. Now he's created a me vs them mentality in the locker room, and on a team that already has leadership issues and finger pointing. He has sealed his own fate, because when an organization loses respect for it's leader the game is over. It would not surprise me at all to see us lay an egg in London, and if we do, that would be the sign that Ross remove Philbin immediately and replace him with an interim coach. I am so done with Joe Philbin.

Your mistake is assuming running a large company is like coaching a NFL football team. Business acumen doesn't equate to football acumen. Just look at our own owner.

Putting heat on an NFL QB publicly may work, if nothing else has. If you did it to an employee of your "large company", no one would give a crap.

He's "alienated ALL the players"? Really. Interesting info. Please give specifics.
 
Philbin seems to have peaked with the wins over NE and Pitt last year. Then it's been almost a complete tailspin since the Bills and Jets games from last year.

How hard is it to win in Buffalo? How hard is it to score a GD point in Buffalo? What did it take a game and a half. It was sickening the way they pretty much gave up at the end of the 1st half, content to go into the locker room down by 9 on the road. Why bother trying to manage the clock. Is he stupid or just trying not to get blown out? Maybe both. You give Buffalo credit maybe they're better than we thought, then San Diego comes in and beats them somewhat convincingly. Not that SD isn't a good team but you would think they should be about on par with the Dolphins, the Dolphins did beat them last year. Buffalo probably is getting better and deserves credit but no way the Dolphins should lose that one.

It took until a few minutes ago until I looked over the stats of the Chiefs game. I was just too sick for a couple of days. 43 times, they threw the ball 43 times while rushing for 7.1 ypc? Did I read that right? I can't remember the last time I saw a Dolphins coach get a penalty.

You would think they should beat the Raiders on a neutral field. Then it's 2-2 into the bye week, get some players back and things don't look too bad. The way this team is heading though I have a lot of doubts they win the Raider game and then it gets really ugly. This season really looks like its going to suck. Then it's here we go again with another coaching search, waiting for draft day in October, all the crap that comes with being a Dolphin fan in this millennium.
 
Well then you agree that if Tannehill had a problem with Joe taking the ball out of his hands and chewing clock he should have went to him , instead of making that comment to the media .
 
Tannehill has done nothing wrong in terms of how he has handled Joe's amateur display this week.
 
I agree with Beasley

I have never had more respect for a player than I do for Ryan Tannehill right now.
 
No I'm not assuming that--I'm saying exactly that. It is a large company that he leads, with numerous employees, scouts, coaches and support staff. He doesn't just lead the players, he leads the organization! He has also alienated the fans too with one misstep after another, and all he can say is "I was not aware of that." You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Have you not seen how this team has played since Philbin has been here? Have you not been paying attention to the utter confusion? The worst fiasco in team history that he was MIA on, the total collapse at the end of last season, the disastrous hires and nepotism. Are you kidding me? Is that specific enough for you?
