    Forget the comments between the players. There's a larger picture here ....... MUCH larger. The fact that the defensive players (some grunts in particular) didn't have enough respect for our QB that they showed him up in practice.

    How often do you hear that with QB's who've got the respect of everyone in that locker room? How often do you hear in year 4 that a coach has to tell players to ease up on his boy?

    I don't really care what he said in a stupid practice, I care about the fact that he's flat out sucked so far this year.

    Yeah, telling people to stop giving credence to something that is proven false makes people "nut huggers."

    How do you escape the mods with all the insults you throw around?

    I'm still waiting for him to prove that Philbin told the defense to take easy on him in general, and not specifically about the Saturday walk-thru.

    You have to be trolling with this BS...

    There is no justification for some 3rd rate defensive JAG interrupting the offense's walk thru/warm up session - which is what this was. Philbin speaking in Philbin-ese asked these guys to "take it easy" and not be disruptive to the offense while they were working on something (and Lord knows they need to work) and it gets blown out of proportion and spun into this sort of stupid BS.

    Personally, I hope Dan Campbell kicks that guy off the team. If that JAG is not taking things seriously and is being disruptive to the team or offense - then f**k him. This team has a lot of issues on both sides of the ball. Tannehill had a right to be pissed off. Philbin should have dressed this guy down himself. Instead we have some jack**s on the internet blowing it into something it wasn't and people calling Tannehill a douchebag when they really have no idea what occurred or if their opinions are well formed.

    Tannehill, the offense, and the entire team as a whole has problems. I hope they can use this to help rally the team into a cohesive unit and kick the sh*t out of the Titans in 2 weeks.

    Also, I'm not sure why anyone would take Fin D's opinion seriously, he said all this same crap about Chad Henne until he flamed out. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if the coaches put a giant lump of turd on the field with a Dolphins logo on it he would find a way to praise it.

    Ya I feel like we're knocking on Brett Favre's door again begging him to come out of retirement.

    But hey if it's on the internet and someone has a, "source" then it must be credible.

    And no one is talking about Tannehill's performance this year. We know he's struggled. This thread isn't about that, it's about his character.

    I don't care if you don't like him as a QB. As a human being, it's not fair to him.

    Now you're re-shaping the story. Those JAGs were specifically asked to lay off TANNEHILL not "the offense". I'm not even excusing those JAGS. But I certainly expect my so-called FRANCHISE QB to maintain composure during the crisis-mode the team is in. I also expected a man in his position to generate a little more respect from underlings on the team. Guys would get cut for going at Aaron Rogers or Peyton Manning like that.

    The story was full of lies and we're trying to get you to understand that.

    You haven't disproven anything other than to quote that LaCanfora said the "paycheck" remarks never happened. SOMETHING was exchanged though - we know that.

    I've never heard of a situation where practice squad grunts lacked so much respect for not only the head coach, but also the starting QB to pull this kind of thing. It's embarrassing. It's a direct reflection of the leadership void in that locker room ............ leadership which I expect the QB of the team to help provide.

    You obviously missed Dan Campbell's comments about "changing the culture". It wasn't just not having enough respect for the QB, that was not respecting the team or the uniform he was wearing by being disruptive.

    There's a very good reason Dan started his press conference talking about changing the culture and challenging the players. He called out several of the team leaders and best players by name. I hope he's up the challenge and can actually do this.

    You're last 2 questions are once again you reading something into a situation you have no firsthand knowledge of and are speculating about.

    So...don't believe LaCanfora, or Darlington, or whoever, but do believe some random site no one has heard of.

    Gotcha.

    What happened was a complete nothing of an incident that has been made out to be bigger than it actually was by some people with motives.

    Chris McCain was not likely doing anything disrespectful when he intercepted that pass. He probably just got a little too enthusiastic. Tannehill got pissed because it's a half-speed walk through and you're not supposed to do that kind of thing, said something. I'm sure there was some friendly jawing between the two, and after that some other psquad defensive players decided to have some fun with the situation and keep trolling the offense. Tannehill never said anything about anyone's paycheck and he never would. He knows not to cross that line.

    But what the people with axes to grind won't tell you about that practice is that Tannehill stood on the sidelines with those practice squad players during that practice, so obviously no animosity there, and a steady stream of defensive leaders came over to Tannehill to tap him on the helmet or give other positive shows of support.

    Were they? Wasn't the entire story 2nd and 3rd hand related to begin with. None of us were there, yet Tannehill's character is being besmirched by people who don't think he's a good QB, which is beside the point as Rocky pointed out.

    And you don't know if that last statement is actually true or not. That's more speculation on your part.

    Well, some people don't have a club membership and don't know the additional detail that shows up in there. This really is a non-issue, but the critics pounce on this kinda stuff like a rack of finely BBQ'd ribs.

    The media narrative doesn't mean jack **** to me, I've seen plenty details that REALLY minimize the whole deal.

    While I agree that the story seems hyperbolic, why would defensive leaders show support on the sidelines with a tap on the helmet? Unless you are merely saying the taps were the normal, "Hey, how ya doin'?" tap, or a "Hey, don't worry about those guys" tap? I'm only asking because either way, it gives us a little more insight into this "walkthrough-gate" (there's a double entendre in there somewhere).

    I'm only asking to try to wrap my head around this to come to my own conclusion. I certainly know nothing outside of what has been put out there, but if you know a little more about the sitch, I'd certainly like to know just to form my own opinion. Thanks.
