If that doesn’t say something I don’t know what does, that was not a normal hey what’s up hug pat on the butt go get em tiger pregame hug. To me it seems like Marino was consoling him. I believe Marino knows they’re going after Watson as well as Tua. They both know that it was Tua’s last game? I’m not a big Tua lover but I do like him very much. He deserves better than this. If I were him I would want to get traded even if Miami doesn’t trade for Watson.

Marino has a lot of kids and I’m sure has a soft spot for what Tua is going through.

I don’t know if Marino is on board with the Watson trade but I have no doubt that Marino wishes they had drafted Herbert instead.
 
I'd normally say no way would one of the higher ups be so revealing before an actual game, but it's the Dolphins. We live and breathe dysfunction.

Seriously though, I think he was just telling him to block out the noise and go play football. Tua said it himself, he's aware of the rumors. I think that's what that conversation was about.

Good thing Danny was probably so coked up that Flo was afraid to tell him to get away from "his" player.
 
It was really disappointing to hear on the broadcast that both Frye and Tua seemed clearly upset by the rumours this past week and that they'd affected their week. They said Frye took a full ten seconds to think before answering questions around Watson rumours and eventually replied by saying they'd locked themselves in the QB room analysing tape to try and get Tua focused.

I guess I'd hoped that within the building individuals were being managed around the rumours but they made it sounds like Tua had been left alone to just deal with them. It also made them sound incredibly real.

I'm trying really hard to be objective around Tua which can be tough because I want him to succeed so badly. But objectively; it's incredibly clear to me that he is not being put into the best position to succeed by the franchise. He must feel given up upon and completely unvalued. I know he's a millionaire playing a game and is incredibly fortunate from that perspective but the Dolphins are not giving him the best platform in order to benefit from him reaching his potential. It literally feels like nobody in the building wants him there anymore... other than Frye.

Whatever happens with Watson and Tua, unless things change the nett position will be the Dolphins have senior staff that encourage a victimising culture. Players are probably playing out of fear of failure and discipline. I can't remember Flores embracing with anyone positively yesterday but I sure saw him tearing a new hole into Williams after that abysmal drop.

I just get the feeling the culture here is all wrong which is why units are regressing and young players are really struggling. I just don't believe they're being given the platform from which to succeed, develop or reach their potential.

Watson won't change that culture alone if the ones breeding it are still here. Of course there needs to be discipline but it shouldn't be used as an exclusive motivator.

Just my perception of course but it certainly adds up. I think it's a completely toxic environment right now and respect between coaches and players is probably extremely thin.
 
Well...it is manic Monday. ;-)

Marino’s probably givin out many of those hugs, the last 20 years to qbs on that field..
 
I’ve been to 2-3 games each year for the last few years and Marino goes around and hugs or shakes hands with everyone, don’t see it as relevant
