so who's been in charge of these high round draft failures on the Dline?
these are well paid professionals who should be "in charge" of themselves
they are also young and under tremendous pressure, some get stronger, some break
almost every player good enough to get to camp has the physical ability and a pretty good work ethic to get there
"they cut themselves", so Hill's not a failure - pushing rookies on the field - like Conner last year, that failed
what's odd in Taco's case is he was a R1 pick and from what we saw in preseason he was our 2nd best DE
I never once heard he didn't show, or violated team or NFL rules, no fights, no dope ... he ain't dumb
he showed up in shape and performed well enough on field to earn more playing time
aside from that all we know is Taco wanted out, and we have no real idea why?
It
seems Taco was originally ticked he wasn't playing more, most wouldn't feel like that if they weren't out performing people playing in front of them -
odds are something real ugly was said out of ear shot of the press, something which can't be reconciled
he may play Sunday - the Dolphins replaced Quinn dirt cheap
while we're wondering if Quinn will play and if Randy will put the vape down and if Jackson ...
no offense but blaming Rod (who I never liked) for that is baseless
BTW, it is entirely possible for two sides to both do what they consider morally prudent and still be at odds
