Philbin less than enthusiastic about Jonathan Martin

Found August 19, 2012 on DraftAce: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jonathan Martin,  Lydon Murtha,  Andrew McDonald
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin wasn’t exactly supportive of 2nd-round pick Jonathan Martin after the rookie struggled against the Panthers: “He wasn’t God awful. Wasn’t like he got beat right off the bat. He had a bad holding call. A really bad holding call, and I thought he maybe could have got called for another one later.” Martin allowed two sacks and was called for a false start and holding (and apparently should have been called for another holding). It was a rough day to say the least and Philbin’s comments certainly don’t bode well for his future in the starting lineup. Unfortunately the Dolphins don’t have many other options. Veteran Lydon Murtha or undrafted rookie Andrew McDonald would likely be next in line to replace Martin if Philbin believes he isn’t ready for opening weekend.

Dolphins make statement by starting Tannehill

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  August 20, 2012

Starting Ryan Tannehill Not the Right Move, Could Ultimately Backfire on Miami Dolphins

Via NESN.com  |  August 20, 2012
A lot of pressure comes with being a first-round pick. The big money contracts -- although not nearly as big as in the past -- hold a hefty weight, the spotlight shines down on them like a solar eclipse, and maybe most importantly they are relentlessly scrutinized at every twist and turn. Especially quarterbacks. So after being selected No. 8 overall in this past April's NFL...
