Remember when Flores had the TNT (Takes No Talent) wall when players who made a mistake in practice had to run to the wall? That seemed to work as the 1st two years under Flores Miami was a very disciplined team with low penalties and penalty yards.

Now I don’t recall any mentions of the wall and now Miami is penalty plagued. Guess Flores assumed he didn’t need it anymore after last year’s 10-6.
 
Yea I thought this myself. Maybe he didn’t use it this year to get more involved in OTAs
 
Key issue. The lack of discipline is one of the biggest disappointments. We went from being confident that we had a coach who emphasized not beating yourself to being mistake plagued. This was frankly one of Gase’s killers.

Not beating yourself is like more than half of the way to winning. Shula went to the HOF emphasizing it.

I have got to think that our assistant coaches are culpable here. The lack of discipline and poor player development points directly at our position coaches and the overall emphasis by the head coach.

Huge issue.

Gimmicky crap that a clueless coach has to use to get player’s attention. It was the first sign, people.

Yea I’m thinking you, like everyone else, weren’t thinking it was gimmicky when the team was winning at the end of 2019 and into 2020… coaches, good and bad, use all kinds of crap like that to motivate… so don’t act like you weren’t on the Flores bandwagon when he looked to be successfully resurrecting the team… it’s perplexing how downhill this has gone

Wrong. Like you know me, dude. I thought it was ridiculous then. Same with the Dan Campbell led Oklahoma drill. Like I said in another thread, Flores very first first presser showed me he was unprepared to be an NFL head coach. My opinion hasn’t changed.
 
It worked so well last year they made an adjustment. Worked about as well as game adjustments

But it worked. The team did all the little things right, even when they literally had no talent, up until 2021. This year has been a **** show across the board. Team sucks at things it used to be good at.

They've got plenty of that.
