As if there couldn't be more turbulence bubbling out of Davie on the day the Miami Dolphins fired Joe Philbin and replaced him with tight ends coach Dan Campbell...
Enter these couple nuggets, courtesy of the National Football Post:
On Saturday during practice, Tannehill, after a couple of practice squad players forced turnovers, Tannehill made negative comments toward them, including saying: "Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy."
Sources say this has been going on for the past few weeks as the practice squad players have been intercepting Tannehill and frustrating the former Texas A&M wide receiver turned quarterback.
The frustration for Tannehill stemmed from the entire situation as well as the Dolphins haven't won a game since the season-opener. Tannehill is an extremely competitive person, and the struggles of the offense have angered him significantly.
Philbin told the practice squad players to take it easy on Tannehill to not affect the young quarterback's confidence.
Although the report could be a bit out of context, it's just more negativity coming out regarding the Miami Dolphins.
