Kendall Lamm praises Eagles for their culture while simultaneously throwing shade at the Dolphins.
🗣 Kendall Lamm on the differences between the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles:

It’s completely understandable if everyone hasn’t thought about this. Still, it’s hard to avoid asking the question, seeing as we’ve heard so many stories about the Miami Dolphins running Vic Fangio out of town.
What might they be thinking? Did they see the Philadelphia Eagles dismantle the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59? One could argue the Dolphins could have used that type of punch last season, but who cares, right? Their loss is Philadelphia’s gain.
What’s the point, you ask? It’s great you asked that question. Had this been about Fangio only, Kendall Lamm’s recent comments may not have caught our attention.
Kendall Lamm praises the Eagles‘ culture while taking a dig at his former team.
Things have been relatively quiet since the Eagles closed the door on spring workouts, but no one believes Philadelphia is sitting idle. There’s always the constant spectre of news breaking from the NovaCare Complex at any time. We didn’t know that news would come by way of a reserve lineman.
Lamm joined the Eagles by way of a one-year deal at the end of March. It seemed he’d compete for a reserve role along Philadelphia’s offensive line. He recently spoke with ESPN. As you might expect, he was asked about his current team and his former.
Now, here’s the thing. From a journalistic perspective, this is completely impartial (wink) but further evidence of a theory that is often expressed. Philadelphia is one of the league’s model franchises. One can certainly do a lot worse than being an Eagles fan.
Lamm used words like “late” and “toxic”. Ouch… He seemed equally excited about sharing his joy about being in Philadelphia and his opportunity to take a shot at his former team.
That brings us back to the Eagles’ defensive coordinator hire in 2024. Upon further review, despite the complaints from players following Fangio’s exit, it appears that Fangio may not have been one of Miami’s true issues. None of the young players or the veterans in Philadelphia seems to be complaining. They have consistently praised Coach Fangio for his coaching style.
Too often, we mentioned players for being spoiled and coddled. Most of us weren’t there, so we can’t make that claim about the Dolphins. We don’t know what’s happening in Miami, but if that’s the case, it may explain why they continue to underachieve in South Florida.
Stay tuned. Discussions might be born at some point about a talented team that doesn’t want to be pushed past its comfort level for the sake of being better. When that happens, nothing good follows.
Did we mention how fortunate Birds fans are? It makes you appreciate Nick Sirianni more. No one had better make disparaging comments about his coaching style again.
UPDATE: Lamm made a video disputing the claims of the story and questioning the origin of such information.
This is why finding credible people you trust for information is so important.
