""The way the National Football League is, is you have an outcome, you have different things - the trade deadline right next to a major move from the front office standpoint - and from the outside looking in, it could appear that that's a recipe for distraction. What I can go off of is my feet-on-the-ground observation and relying upon the leaders and the captains of this football team to show me where they're at.""
""There's a skill to find beauty in our struggle," Ingold said. "A lot of us, when adverse times hit, when the results aren't happening, you kind of dial your focus into your job, what you can control. I think, as a leader, the challenge is acknowledging the people that are doing a great job and making sure you're encouraging and bringing them along, leading by example as well,""
The Miami Dolphins fired general manager Chris Grier, traded edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles, and removed a locker-room Pop-A-Shot amid roster and cultural changes. The team holds a 2-7 record and faces the Buffalo Bills (6-2) Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, with the Bills having won seven straight in the AFC East rivalry and 14 of the past 15 meetings. Coach Mike McDaniel remains in place for at least the rest of the season and emphasizes relying on team leaders to stay focused despite potential distractions. Fullback Alec Ingold stresses concentrating on controllables, encouraging teammates, and holding everyone accountable.
