"In light of everything that's happened to the Dolphins in the past week or so - getting blasted by Baltimore, 28-6, on Thursday, parting ways with general manager Chris Grier on Friday, trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia on Tuesday, and a report that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be benched this season - you wonder whether players will be motivated to defeat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday."
"Is their interest in winning so that the team rises in the standings, or is their interest in winning so that they put good stuff on film to get another job? Do they think that the organization wants to win, or do they think the organization wants the highest possible draft pick? These are some of the big questions surrounding the Dolphins as they prepare to play the Bills and their other seven opponents."
Miami Dolphins suffered a 28-6 loss to Baltimore, parted ways with general manager Chris Grier, traded edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia, and faced reports that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be benched. The team holds a 2-7 record amid unrest and questions about player motivation and organizational intent. Players may be trying to win to improve standings or to showcase individual value for future jobs. Questions persist whether the organization prioritizes victories or a higher draft pick. Safety Ashtyn Davis says he still loves the game, will try to win regardless of circumstances, and calls outside noise irrelevant.
