Richard Sherman DESTROYS Tua Tagovailoa for CALLING OUT Miami Dolphins teammates

Richard, let’s talk about the Miami Dolphins. They’re off to a horrendous start. It seems like the team is all up in arms. Tyreek Hill goes out with a huge injury. This identity of this team is gone. Mike McDaniels is on a very hot seat. He might be joining James Franklin in the unemployment line here soon. And we see postgame after this loss against the Chargers today, Tua is calling out his teammates saying they’re they’re either not showing up to player only meetings or they’re just showing up late. I mean, obviously there’s frustration in Tua’s voice. Obviously, he’s got to be very frustrated going through the prime of his career like this. What do you make of Tua’s comments postgame? Uh, it’s it’s Tua’s comments were were headcratching to say the least. Um, because basically you’re saying they don’t re your teammates don’t respect leadership and you’re the leader. your teammates have no respect or regard for the leadership your team is showing and you’re the leader. So it says more about him. It’s more of a a shot against themsel, you know, than it is anybody else. It’s an indictment against his leadership because your teammates don’t respect you. Uh and your teammates don’t respect you, so they’re not showing up. They don’t hold you in high enough regard. I guarantee you most quarterbacks in the National Football League, they could hold a players only meeting at their house 20 miles away and guys are going to show. But when they don’t have that kind of regard or respect for you and you continue to try to call them out in the media instead of having conversations behind closed doors to try to do it to make an attempt to make yourself look better and make them look worse, your the respect only drops. The respect level drops and I’m sure it’s almost down to nothing with this last attempt. Earlier in the season, they lost and he was like, “Oh, I want to see how other guys approach the gay if they’re going to still show up and on the off days and do all this.” Like, that’s enough. that’s enough. We don’t we don’t care what you think other guys are going to do because it’s almost like you’re saying, “Hey, I’m perfect. Everybody else isn’t. So, you guys need to be better and then we’ll get better as a team.” Like, two of you threw ridiculous interceptions today. You’ve done so throughout the season. You haven’t played great football. If you’re playing great, if you’re playing the way Dak Prescott, for example, is playing and he gets up on a podium and he’s played at all pro level and his team has let him down, you you got the right to say something like that. You you definitely probably won’t. And you haven’t heard Dak Prescott or many leaders ever speak like that about their team. They say, “Hey, I can do better.” Even though in reality, they probably can’t play much better. But accountability looks like that. You take blame when it’s always when it’s not always due. um you take less credit than you’re due and you give praise to your teammates. You don’t tear your teammates down and say, “Hey, I I’ve been doing everything I can. I don’t know about the other guys.” That’s that’s the opposite of leadership. So, um I expect this team to continue to implode. Um and you you start to understand more and more why Tyreek Hill was celebrating after a devastating knee injury because he no longer has to to be a part of uh this kind of nonsense. And I think Tua Tonga Valoa is a is a good person, you know, has been a solid player in the league, but you can’t do this. You can’t talk like this about guys and play the to the level you’re playing at. Like, you just can’t. Like, the these are grown men and you’re not playing great football. So, it’s time to just shut up and buckle up and and and try to play better, try to get wins and try to do better. You could come to guys and be like, “Hey, in the locker room, you got everybody after a game. Hey, if we really going to take this serious, we got to show up to players only meetings. We got to show the effort. We got to show that we care. Show that we want this season and show that we want to win. Not get up on in a press conference in front of guys in front of the media so you can make headlines to fingerpoint at other guys. Like, get out of here, man. Get out of here. That’s that’s Bush league. That’s Bush League bull. Jonathan Ganon in this Arizona Cardinal team. They really should be three and three. Let’s look back real quick at last week’s game. We saw something transpire on the sideline. Jonathan Ganon appeared to lay armari de Marcato’s arm. I I I know you’ve been on competitive teams, you know, on heated sidelines when things might not have gone your way. What do you make of this situation that developed last week? We saw Jonathan Ganon come out and apologize for his actions. But as a former athlete, when a player makes a mistake of the magnitude that Amari De Marcado did, I mean, what what is your take on what transpired on those sidelines last weekend? Well, it’s just it’s just frustration. Um, as a head coach, you can’t control everything. Um, but you feel like you control putting guys in positions to be successful. um they felt like they put uh dem Marcado in a position to score and and you give a lot of responsibility to guys when you hand them the football and and and they talk every coach would talk about this. You have the whole team’s hopes in your hands when you have the football. Like that’s the hopes and dreams of everybody’s family, everybody’s friends, everybody’s kids, every teammate, everybody who’s sacrificing, every coach and the hours they’re putting in. You have that ball in your hand and it’s your responsibility to not put it in danger. Now, nobody I mean, guys get frustrated when when guys get stripped or punched the ball gets punched out, but you can understand competitive plays and and hey, football’s football. It’s a violent game. Things happen. You you you tap them on the head. Hey, that’s that’s all right, man. We’ll keep getting them. But unforced errors, unforced where it’s just showboating, lazy, like carelessness is a different level of frustration for both coaches and teammates. But it doesn’t excuse um Jonathan Ganon’s actions. Coaches can get frustrated. You can curse him out. It’s it’s what you deal with as a football player. You you can get cursed out. You deal with accountability. You’re going to have to watch it in film over and over and over. You might get benched the next game. That’s accountability. But the physical part of it is where the concern came in. That’s why Jonathan Ganon said, “Okay, I’m going to I’m going to accept my fine. I was wrong. I’m going to apologize because I shouldn’t have done that.” Because you do that to the wrong guy. Because when you make a mistake, there’s only one or two ways you go. You either get really frustrated and you’re pissed off and nobody needs to touch you. Just let him cool off. Or you kind of go into the tank and you’re like so down that you’re like, man, I I don’t even know if this sport is for me. And some guys go all the way down. And that’s what the direction it seemed like De Marcado went is just into the tank. His teammates were consoling him. You can tell he’s down. coach, are you wrong for cursing him out in that situation? Not really. You You go over there and speak your piece. You’re the head coach. Go over there and make your point. No question about it. But if you catch a guy who goes the other way and you start to talk to him in that way, like it it may get physical to a point that you can’t control and you can’t handle it. I’m sure everybody else said this already, but it that’s where you you you you got to be careful because we’re you’re in a dark place to play football to play. You got to be fearless. You got to be aggressive. You got to be wired different and don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t match my energy. Don’t come at me with that kind of energy attacking me when I’m in that space. And I’m already frustrated with myself. I’m frustrated with the situation. And thank goodness for the resilience and control that de Marcado showed right there, but I don’t know if I would have showed the same. You know, I’m not I don’t think I would have punched anybody because we’re on a football field. We’re not going to do all that. But as soon as you would have pushed me the second time, I probably would have grabbed and say, “Hey, that’s enough.” Like, “Hey, don’t don’t make me snatch you up out here.” Like, I’ll calm you down real quick. I’m not I’m not going to punch you. I’m not going to do anything. But once you go physical, I can go physical back and we can play that game. And I think that’s the the dangerous president. And I think that’s what Jonathan Ganon understood about that situation is like, “Hey, I was wrong. I could I could yell at him. That’s part of the game.” And everybody’s like, “That’s just old school super coaching. That’s old school.” Well, I’m going to let you know things change and players are making a lot of money these days and there’s parking lots that they can meet you in. And understand that these are grown men you’re dealing with. These aren’t kids. They have family. They have kids. They are going to ask for a certain level of respect. A mistake was made. You can do whatever you within your powers as a head coach. You can cut him. You can curse him out. Bench him like demote him. you got all the power in the world. Once you get physical, you kind of you’re you’re you’re changing the the you’re blurring the lines between coach and player interaction. Unless you guys have that relationship like Travis Kelce and and Andy Reid have, they clearly have a relationship where they have that kind of, hey, we’re going to bump each other. We’re going to get each other hyped up. We’re going to get each other riled up. We’re going to go there with one another. And there’s an understanding. Hey, that’s we’ve seen it multiple times where where Andy Reid’s come stomach bump Travis Kelce like get come on get it get going and it’s to get him going in the game. That’s something they have. And we’ve seen the other way, you know, Travis Kelce come up to Andy Reid like, “Ah, yeah. What you think of that?” You know, and it’s cool. Okay, cool. That’s the connection those two have. When you don’t have that, be careful. Be careful. You don’t want You don’t want these grown men to turn to show you why they play professional sports to show you how strong and how aggressive they can be. Like, you don’t want to be the opponent cuz you don’t have pads on or a helmet or anything protecting you. Just be careful.
