Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 20m Tannehill vehemently defends the locker room harmony between Martin and Incognito. "Jon was like Richie's little brother." #Dolphins Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 22m Ryan Tannehill: There were no warning signs for [Martin]. Overall, quite guy. It's tough to see warning signs when you don't say much Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 26m RT @ByTimReynolds: Tannehill offering impassioned plea on how locker room is. "No one knew there was a situation to be stopped." Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 27m Tannehill: "Richie didn't use that type of language in the locker room, to other teammates in a derogatory way." Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 30m Tannehill: "If you would have asked Jon Martin a week ago, who his best friend was outside of football, he would have said Richie Incognito" Jonathan Martin is suddenly becoming the back stabbing player in all of this. Team unity and ppl more in the know speak volumes.
The worm is turning again. After this defiant and rousing support, anyone questioning if Philbin's finger is on the pulse of this team, is absolutely absurd. I think something good just happened. I think this team just got pissed off.
Before this situation happened the main question is, "Why do you guys suck so bad?" or "Why is your line so terrible?" or "Why is Tannehill getting hit so much?" or "Why can't you run the ball?" Now the questions are, "Are you guys all *******s?" or "Is your teammate a jerk?" There is a benefit that due to the change in question the Dolphins are not trying to put out why they suck so bad at protection out of their head, but instead, "us against the world"
I will throw a question out there. If this was Tom Brady or Peyton Manning saying this instead of a 2nd yr QB would the NFL take more notice regarding possible penalties and punishment? My guess is..damn right they would. Thoughts?
Same as the rest of the Locker room going by every interview with a Dolphin player. If we can say anything then its this team ISN'T divided. Thats a total positive looking forward.
I liked what he had to say. Addressed the issue with some honesty and didn't just regurgitate the media drivel we've been hearing lately. Honestly I don't see the media caring about what the team knew or says, their narrative is written in stone right now which is typical. They made up their mind before the facts and now the facts don't matter.
Starks is on Incongnito's corner too Courtney Fallon @CourtneyNBC6 11min DL Randy Starks: We're just trying to help clear Richie's name. He's had a bad rep. He's a good guy. Never had a problem. He's not a racist.
That can give the team the edge if they can channel it. That's Philbins job. Now what Philbins mental attitude is right now with this storm is anyones guess. Personally i'd channel it and use it to the max.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 5min Randy Starks said Dion Jordan and Jon Martin got into it at practice one day and Incognito came in to back up Martin. looks like they were good friends at some time
Man.. They probably dont realize it..but this team just lifted its fans hearts back up. This is what we have been wanting to see all along. Fight..and heart. Now we are seeng it Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Apparently the voice mail, the original not the possibly edited transcript, was being passed around BY Martin for laughs earlier in the year per Bline. BSPN was just check raised, they cannot possibly double down on 24/7 coverage, this will be interesting. Skip Bayless was Baylessed at the Dolphins players responses.
I read that earlier today. I just think Martin is biting off more than he can chew. Feel bad for Martin and his "problems" but if this was on the weight scales there is only one winner right now and its not the press and those Studio "expert gurus" on CBS, Fox, ESPN etc.....i forgot to say...Ricky Williams..you are missed.
Team looks united. Just hear TH and BH speak. Looks like team has Kogs back. Overall this is good. We need to build on it.
Interesting Clabo is "irate'. I was so sick of this story for the last few days. Love that the team is responding. That they are showing unity. Looking bad for Martin.
Forget what tann said.. Brian hartline steps up to the plate and basically told the other players in or out of the league "don't question our leadership or our locker room" paraphrasing... That's balls, Ryan's speech was jes that a speech.. Hartline is the heart beat of this team...
So let me get this straight... Richie's father is a crazy, vehement racist. Richie left insane, racist messages on a guy's phone. He was caught on camera with his shirt off screaming racist garbage and acting like a lunatic. He has a long, well documented history of bad behavior and a reputation among NFL front offices as someone with serious character concerns. Yet, he's not a racist. Really? If it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck...
All the media has done is brought an us vs them mentality. if this team is as united as it sounds, then they should rally around this and they will fight together.
The one where he does a Mike Pouncey impression and then walks over to a laughing Mike Pouncey who is sipping something through those cute little red straws they give you for cocktails that I personally throw away, because manhood.
Oh I knew which one he was talking about, I just wanted him to reply to my question that way I could tell him how unracist that video was....
It's funny that the word is only racist if used by a white person, but it is perfectly fine when black people use that word.
It is also funny how if you have a white name on your resume you have a better chance of being called in for an interview. However I can see how white people not being able to call black people N words causes so many problems in their lives.
say it like it is... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...letter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=nfl
You positive guys are trippy. Man, i need u as life coaches and im not being sarcastic. Im jealous. I wish my mechanism worked that way. This team isnt pissed off, its pissed on. We are diverting attention from a cursed oline (and someone better be gosh darn paying attention there)? Hell no. But i will say its all on Monday night. Ill be proven right or wrong then. Thursday? We squandered opportunities to put the game away but it was still too fresh regardless. Monday, Monday- but we are more Mamas than Papas right now.
