Interesting comments.. like he's trying to have it both ways. Hate to admit it, but actually he's coming off as a pompous ayehole IMO.

Wow a great leader for. It's nice to know OUR SUPPOSED LEADER is sending the message that it doesn't matter if you are at dress reherasals. It doesn't matter if you are at practices every day cause "it's all fake". All that matters is game time. I am so glad he is our leader and is sending that message to our rookies and young guys. Cool, let's skip everything and just tell everyone to report to Camp, which he clearly said we'll see if he even goes to that. He'll show when he wants to.
He gets more and more pathetic everytime he talks

It's time to turn this ship around.
The questions are, exactly when will they get it and for how long?
"I plan to play this season, and that's what I told the Dolphins," Taylor said. "I tried to be up front with them about it after all that crap came out about the whole trade thing. I'm like everybody else in America, though. We're in a free country and I could always change my mind."
In other words, when Miami goes 8-8 he will be back.

It also means I a gonna say what everyone wants to hear, then when I finaly get my way I now have an out and a scapegoat.. How lame
I seriously wonder if the man actually thinks before he speaks or if he is just seriously this naive
I am certainly not defending JT, but you are putting words in his mouth that are not there. If you take him at his word, you can see exactly what you can expect.
Based on his words...
It appears that JT, knowing that this is the twilight of his football career and that he is not getting traded to a "playoff contender", has reconciled to himself that he will play football for the Phins, or whoever he gets traded to when and if he gets traded, and he will make his money, and walk off into the sunset (or soundstage). He can be counted on to be a really good player who will show up when it's game time. I doubt any sooner though, a la Michael Strahan in his last year.
He is not being the voice of the team or the leader of the team. He doesn't want to be cast in that role anymore. (Why we, as fans, project him into that role, I don't know because it looks like he wants to finish his business and move on). Nothing against him either. He knows the curtain is closing on his football days and he wants to go out on his terms as best as possible. Since, as he says, the Miami Dolphins are bigger than him or any one individual, why not let him go out on whatever terms he wants since that is the only thing he has control of now.
And with that said, why all the freakin fuss people? I think most of us have mentally/emotionally moved on beyond JT as a Phin, and look forward to whatever they grow into as a team this year and beyond. JT was a football hero when he was in his prime. We loved him. I have met him twice, and respect him greatly as a person. But it's time to move on. I harbor no anger or resentment towards his behavior and I am a huge Phins fan. If we all move on, whatever highlights we get from JT this year will be a bonus.

How am I putting words in his mouth? I simply stated that if Miami goes 8-8 this year he would probably come back and play another year to see if Miami can get into the playoffs for a final run before he officailly hangs it up. I didn't say JT said anything...?
But there still could very well be some drama concerning the star defensive end that has yet to play itself out. For starters, is Taylor planning to report to the Dolphins' training camp, which opens July 25?
"We'll see," he said, coyly. "We'll see."
Taylor also was vague about when he could be expected to take the field in 2008.
This are the type of vague answers that I don't understand. If he doesn't like the reporters going after him asking him over and over , he should give an straight answer,
ether he will show up in training camp or won't.

What's your point? He said they don't matter. He said "It's all fake"
So does that mean our rookies shouldn't have to go to these fake practices. I mean, after all, it's non contact practices. So if Taylor says they are meaningless, then no one should have to do them and rookies shouldn't have to report till training camp correct?
You defenders are getting more and more pathetic. I swear, you would think some of you are his family.
Yes some get to him every chance they get, cause everytime he opens his mouth he shows just how naive and pathetic he is.
Though I guess it's difficult to have an unbiased debate with someone who's screenname is JT-FORPRESIDENT

Wasn't he in an interview a couple weeks ago where he said he was a leader and he chooses to lead by example.
He still refers to himself as a leader. Or did up till maybe yesterday.
I personally would love to move on. I don't start these threads, but if people wanna make threads off his interviews then I will comment on how his responses just keep getting stupider.
I have said from the beginning. I don't care about him dancing, I don't care that he wants to be traded. But enough with the childish, selfish anctics. It would be alot easier to let this fade into the sunset if he just shuts his mouth.
