Dolphins concerned about Daniel Thomas’ motivation

Found September 09, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Daniel Thomas,  Reggie Bush
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
According to ProFootballWeekly.com, the Miami Dolphins are reportedly concerned about running back Daniel Thomas’ motivation. “In HBO’s Hard Knocks, we saw second-year Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas get in some trouble with head coach Joe Philbin for being late. We’re told that while Thomas has looked good on the field this preseason, there are still questions about his motivation. Philbin has already shown with trades of Brandon Marshall and Vontae Davis that players need to fully buy in to his system. Reggie Bush will be a free agent after this season, and if the Dolphins choose not to re-sign him, Thomas has an opportunity to be a No. 1 back if he puts it all together this season,” wrote PFW. We know that Philbin doesn’t care who’s not fitting into his system, he’ll quickly get rid of them.  There’s a reason Vontae Davis and Chad Johnson are gone.

It’s finally back. As if I even need to mention it, the NFL season is back in full swing. After the first batch of games, it appears as if it will be another hugely defense-heavy year for Penn Staters in the NFL. As of posting, there are only 4 Nittany Lions on NFL roster in offensive, stat-recording positions (Sorry, lineman!) and of those, only 1 is a starter. If there’s...

In the NFL debut of Coach Joe Philbin and quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins hardly could have drawn a tougher assignment than the Houston Texans — on the road no less. Houston is considered by most one of the favorites in the AFC in 2012 and the Dolphins will go into this game as the biggest underdogs on opening day. But is a victory impossible?
