Timmons suspended indefinitely

Yup.

Dude hasn't even been with the Dolphins more than 6 months, not to mention hasn't even played a down of regular season football in a Miami uniform. It's a terrible look for him showing up to his old team's practice and in their locker room the day of a game. Especially considering he was our top FA acquisition. Then to follow it up by missing Dolphins practice/meeting this past weekend? Connect the dots here.

Pouncey went to Pittsburgh too, but I'm not seeing it being reported in the same capacity as Timmons. Keep in mind it's his own brother he visited.

I do think I would be pissed if I were Gase. So, you can make it to their practice, but you can't be here? yeah, I think I would be.

This move tells me the Dolphins don't think that this is a "personal matter" they was his agent described it. It looks more and more like me Timmons voluntarily broke some team rules with no apparent reason potentially beyond his control that could be given as acceptable for his behaviour. Therefore the punishment comes down from gase to show nobody is free from those two rules. He's being held accountable. If he comes back it will be when they deem he's been disciplined enough although they can only keep him out four games. After those four I guess it's up to the team whether he stays. Or goes.

Looking more and more like mr Timmons doesn't need help from medical or mental health professionals, but he may need some help resurrecting his reputation and career. All signs pointing now to a guy not struggling with issues, but a guy who made a really bad decision. Although his agent of course wants us to believe otherwise.

At this point I couldn't care less what they do with him

It is kinda odd he was taken to see a doctor though? I thought I read that here.

He "made it" to the Steelers practice a WEEK before the Dolphins game and practiced all week long with the team.

It all comes down to trust.He put himself in a situation to where the team does not trust him.If he can earn that back in the next few days they may be desperate enough to consider taking him back.I don't think he is worth the trouble but the coaches have to make that call.

He went and practiced with the Steelers?

You're right.

It sends a fantastic message to your new team with whom you've built up no cache when you hang out in the locker room on game day of your old one. Coaches love that, I'm sure Gase was telling all Dolphins players to do that. He prolly told Suh - who spent his week off watching film - to get on a plane and reconnect with the Lions.

For the life of me I'm having trouble finding where this is a common/accepted occurrence. It's one thing when you're a former/retired player like Calvin Johnson, etc. But it's in extremely poor taste when you're an active player.

He didn't practice, but he was there at their practice during his week off and then spent time in their locker room before the start of Week 1's game.

Using your free time to see some old friends that you've known for 11 (or maybe more years) because you're in town visiting your daughter isn't wrong. You keep ignoring the fact that Pouncy was there too. Are you mad at him, too?

I sometimes stop by an old Cath lab that I used to work at in a totally different hospital to see some old co-workers. In fact, I had some drinks with the Cath Lab manager a few weeks ago and it's something he and I do on a regular basis. I hope no one find out or else they may be mad. lol

did you miss your next shift at your current job with no call?

No, but if I did no one would be upset that I had beers with my former co-worker.

Pouncey was hanging out in Pittsburgh with his twin brother for God sakes. He also is unquestionably committed to the Dolphins - not to mention wasn't there on Gameday in the Steeler locker room before their first game.

If Rock had called out Timmons for missing the game no one would have said a word and most would have agreed with him. Instead, he chose to whine about Timmons visiting some old friends on his day off! He may as well gotten butt hurt over what Timmons ate for dinner last Christmas. It has no bearing on the real issue at hand.

Are you jelly that you didn't get to hang out with Timmons' big, strong, half-naked friends? Is that the problem?

If Timmons had been in the Pittsburgh locker room the Sunday of the Dolphins game I'd agree with you. However, he was OFF OF WORK, also visiting FAMILY, and decided to see some old friends/teammates too.

And the jackass responses continue ....... Is your name Timmons? :chuckle:

Always taking disagreement over a benign subject to personal levels.

when you miss work, everything becomes relevant.

lol...Do you always whine this much? Personal? Please...

You're complaining about nothing. A grown man visited his daughter and friends during his time off of work. He then went back to work and, by all accounts, busted his ass and practiced like a beast the entire week leading up to the game. You don't even know why he missed the game, do you? And don't take that as an excuse because I'm just as pissed as you about the situation, but adding irrelevant things to the situation does nothing. His going to Pittsburgh is irrelevant. Whining about it is funny.

That's not true. Does what he had for dinner become relevant? What about the clothes he was wearing?

His visiting family and friends has no relevance to this situation. None.

You do make it personal sometimes. I just don't give a fuck about it, but @7198 is right. IDK if you're drunk or what when you do it, but you do it.

Lawrence Olajuwan Timmons bailed on his team without notifying ANYBODY. I want him gone, but I defer to Adam Gase for that decision.
