Timmons AWOL??

[lurking]

Isnt he guarenteed virtually every cent -_-

Not if he walks out like a sissy.

What is it with this team and players having mental breakdowns? Ricky, Jonathan "The Snake" Martin, Ajayi, Timmons... I'm sure there have been others I'm missing. Seems like every year.

jeff ireland had a mental breakdown and moved up to draft dion jordan

"personal matter" + "meeting with team doctors"

Doesn't add up.

I actually think it does. Could be a mental health issue or panic attack/depression.

Source?

Seems fishy

Seems Fishy? Not a good word to use when your team logo is a fish LOL

This is a tough one without a doubt. On one hand you want to set an example and release Timmons. On the other the defense really needs him. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I don't agree that you release him to set an example. It really depends on what exactly happened. It's true that that without him the LB core isn't good so it's a rough spot.

Miami should have signed Zach Brown I am assuming Tim is having martial problems or maybe found out a family member is ill.

If it was some sort of mental break down and he didn't commit a crime, or try to hurt the team out of spite etc I might help him help himself and get him on the field. I think the team would respect that and be supportive. If he walked out just to be a spiteful baby that would be a tough sell.

Too much sun.

Damn, some of you guys are cutthroat. Releasing the guy before we know what the issue is seems a bit unfair.

He does have the third most tackles in the league so far (22).

Life is tough, I can have a lot of sympathy for a wide variety of issues. But at least send your coach a text telling them why you have run off

Maualuga needs to be doing the Richard Simmons workout 24/7 and get in shape. As far as Timmons it was reported that what happened had nothing to do with anything team related.

:biggrin

"The Dolphins are unsure what the issue is with Timmons, but one league source said he does not believe it is the early onset of CTE. "No one has ever seen anything like it," one source said.

The 31-year-old Timmons, entering his 11th NFL season, was dealing with his personal matter Saturday and returned to the team early Sunday morning before the Dolphins decided he wasn't in a good place to play against the Los Angeles Chargers. His streak of 101 consecutive starts was snapped."
