WR Brian Hartline is not practicing again today. Very bad for the Dolphins.
Add in Johnson being waived, and we are looking at starting the season with a very young Wr corps.
Apparently Karlos Dansby is wee-wee'd over Johnson being waived, yeah well.

Marcus Thigpen's left knee injury complicates his situation. He was pushing for the 4th tailback spot, & a returner role. Now he's in limbo.
A single injury at the wrong time, even a minor one, can literally sink a career, this is one of the reasons why the NFL minor league makes sense to me.
Yeah, really. STFU Dansby.
Just occured to me, with Hartline being out, and Johnson being waived, who was the #3 wr on the depth chart?
I thought it was BJ Cunningham or was it Marlon Moore? Either way there is now a job position open and not just theoritically.
Move Bess out there and who then moves into the slot? Clay or Bush plays the slot in situations?
I just saw Dansby and Coach talking off to the side in the bubble on NFL AM. Dansby had is arms firmly folded across his chest during the conversation. It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out with the team leaders.
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. ~ John Wooden
Philbin needs to remind Dansby that he has been nothing special and should be GREATFULL he is still being paid top 3 LB money.
Cant wait to draft that dudes replacement.

Marlon isn't helping his case.
Moore has always dropped to many balls. Nothing new.

Seems simple to me. It wasn't Dansby decision to make, so how he feels about it is irrelevant. Worry about doing your own job and let the coaches do theirs. Players play, coaches and front office people handle the roster. So now we need to ask if its alright if we cut a guy? Shut up and play or get the hell out of the way of the next guy who can play your position.
If he's that bent out of shape about it, cut his ass and he can Chad can comiserate over a basket of chicken wings at Ruby Tuesday's.

I like the decision to waive Johnson, I can guess why Dansby is REALLY unhappy.
He sees the same Wr corps we do, he wants to win football games.
Philbin dumping Johnson reminds me of something Shula would have done.
Leave Ruby Tuesday's out of this
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Pruitt was second string slot, I believe. Cunningham behind him. But that was before the preseason game. Things shuffled a bit after the game, and Chads departure.
They have wings at Ruby Tuesdays now?!

The only concern I have with Philbin is his ability to create rapport with certain kinds of guys... Dansby may be one of them.
Wooden, straight-laced dudes dot always click well with outgoing jester types. But you'd expect Dansby to be more pro than this. He better fall in line.
Ruby Tuesdays is still around?

Many thanks to the awesome staff and members of the site, all of whom contribute tirelessly to an incredible Dolphins fansite.

I actually looked it up because I didn't think they had them, but they do. They call them 'fire wings:'
Crisp chicken wings, in mild or hot Buffalo sauce.

Maybe he is just echoing what all the players think about the situation. Pretty much what we all think of the situation, CJ got caught up in a situation with a known chick that has a history of physical attacks on people and he is partially or fully the victim. Wrongful dismissal, and by talking to Coach about it, he is indeed being a leader to the team, and the liaison between players and coach. Nothing wrong with that.
If I'm Joe Philbin and I hear that Karlos Dansby is unhappy and chirping about my cutting Chad Johnson, I smile because I know I just sent a message and I just took a step toward changing the culture.

Talking to the coach Yes. Doing a radio show and disagreeing with your head coaches decision NO.

I agree... But
Karlos is a veteran and leader on that defense. If he shows it's okay to Publically question Philbins decisions, he sets a bad example that let's other defensive players feel more comfortable doing the same thing.

I didn't hear anything about that. Agreed. All should be kept in house. With that being said, time to move forward and let it be.
Personally, I hope they re-sign chad in the near future when the dust settles if the situation points to Chad being victimized by a crazy Eve. But that is just me.

Dansby needs to work on his leadership skills..rule #1 is the team always comes first..CJ apparently felt differently..Dansby is on the wrong side of this.
You know if this escalated with Dansby this week, I wouldn't be against Philbin reassertion control by playing Trusnik or Spitler with first unit and dropping Karlos to second unit.
"Fall in line and don't question me on the damned radio! You bring that **** to me behind closed doors."
"**** that coach." and Dansby rocks the boat more... I'd send a shot across his bow.

So we can wind up with more drama?
PASS 10 out of 10 times.
The Dolphins got rid of 1 diva WR this offseason, they should have known what they were getting in to with Chad. With or without the wife beating it would have ended poorly. You could already see his attitude on Hard Knocks, which was the last thing a new regime needed. Let's rebuild this team the right way, not the fast way.
Philbin strikes me as a one warning kind of guy, then you get punished.
