Slugging it out: Fights mar Dolphins’ final training camp practice

[DKphin]

I do not know why people get bent out of shape when these things occur. If you do, you either have never played or watched a practice. People are competing and they want to win. As long as they do not get out of hand, move along because there is nothing to see here.

The Dolphins ended training camp with anger and agitation, as three separate fights broke out in a 30-minute period.
Receiver Jarvis Landry and cornerback Bobby McCain exchanged punches in the first drill. “Nothing personal; no hard feelings,” Landry said. “Showing a little team love to each other.”
The second fight, involving more than 20 players but relatively tame, began when McCain and receiver Kenny Stills started jawing at each other. The third featured shoving between offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod and defensive lineman Deandre Coleman.
“I like to see a little bit of that, a little bit of attitude, a little
bit of swagger; we’re not going to take some crap,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “We don’t want four or five in a practice. A little bit of that is OK.”
Coach Adam Gase didn’t object: “It’s football. It happens. No one got hurt. I don’t want that to happen every day. But it’s going to happen once in a while….One guy makes a play and starts talking. Bobby is not going to take that.”

I'm so offended!

So much outrage!

It's about time we had a team full of some aggression and attitude. Forget dogs, I want wolves on my football team!

Not surprising that all is fine between Landry and McCain. They both know that to compete at the highest level, it takes an unreal intensity, which this team has lacked for most of the last 20 years. Both players seem like genuinely good people off the field, but on the field, there is just the objective and the opponent in your way. If both want it just as bad, things bubble over into extra stuff from time to time.

Good! Even the London Silly Nannies had a pillow fight from time to time.

Does mar mean "make really awesome?". I'm glad they're fighting. It shows they're tougher than they've been the last few seasons. It also shows there's good competition going and that the coach is doing a good job getting the troops fired up. Nice job Bobby!

Yep, I been calling Bobby the Jarvis of the defense for awhile now.

Not the fastest, biggest, or strongest, but he wants to win the most, and will work the hardest.

That would be MRA lol

Mar : impair the quality of; spoil.

I agree though glad some intensity out there we need it.

Jarvis is very good and I have no doubt that he verbally rubbed it in Bobby McCain's face. I think that it is a good sign that Bobby physically stood up for himself. No doubt that Jarvis is bigger and stronger and is the certified star on the team, but Bobby wasn't going to take it from anyone.
Prediction: - Bobby McCain is set for an improved season as a CB. He practices against a Pro Bowl slot receiver every day and pushes him hard on every play.

The 1st sentence of this article is so ridiculous. Makes it seem everything is spiraling out of control....
