Miami – In a candid moment during practice this Wednesday, Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb opened up about the team’s culture last season, claiming the team was “lying” about their efforts to create a positive environment. Chubb spoke to reporters at the team’s minicamp, where he expressed frustration with the previous approach, saying, “Honestly, point-blank, period. We felt it.” He elaborated, indicating that while the team made attempts to change, they didn’t fully commit, describing it as putting “our toe in the water” without “diving all the way in.”
The linebacker emphasized the importance of full commitment moving forward, stating, “I would say this year we’re doing that.” Chubb acknowledged that the outcome is uncertain, saying, “If it works out, it’s going to work out. If it doesn’t, we’re going to get back to the drawing board and make sure it works out.” His comments reflect a clear desire for improvement and accountability among the players.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel responded to Chubb’s remarks, suggesting that he would have preferred to hear these thoughts earlier. He commented, “It would have been awesome if he would have told me on the front end when they were lying.” McDaniel then shifted the focus to the future, indicating his priorities lie beyond reflecting on past issues. “I think you do a lot more for the organization if you spend your time thinking forward,” he explained, highlighting a need to concentrate on building a better team dynamic.
As the Dolphins prepare for the upcoming season, both Chubb and McDaniel are focused on fostering a new environment that encourages dedication and teamwork. The hope is that this shift will lead to better results on the field as they aim to improve upon last year’s efforts.
