I seriously hope this isn't true because if it is, it explains why this team is such a train wreck

i'm sorry, but this is the exact type of ridiculous non-story that surfaces when you lose.  I don't care if Tannehill trash talks some practice squad guys.  So what?

Without the context that "smack talk" is meaningless. Was it tongue n cheek? Was Tannehill buddies with the practice squad guys and just giving them a hard time as friends do to each other?

It's not like he cursed them out and yelled and screamed at them. Seem's like harmless back and forth that probably takes place during every practice every week on teams.

Agreed, most likely that is a meaningless story written by someone who has never played team sports and has no understanding of team dynamics.  It has been many years since I played even at the college level of sports, but even today in my over the hill recreational sports life, we say MUCH worse things to each other and it means nothing. 

I'm guessing Aaron Wilson didn't make the trip to London and his "source" is some British reporter who has no clue what American athletes say, do, or how they act among each other.  And is clueless to the american athlete overall and the behavior of american athletes whether before or after games or how they act during practice.

The team is a train wreck because the QB is tired of losing?

Exactly! When Dan Marino was chewing out WR's in the middle of games on national TV in front of the world fans applauded and said...."Love Dan's fire" and "Get them in Line Dan"

Tannehill "MAYBE" said something to a couple practice squad guys (probably jokingly but even if it was serious) the team is doomed? LOL, unreal.

I think the bigger problem is scrubs that can't break onto a roster that is averaging less than one int per game are routinely intercepting your starting QB in practice. 

Did they get INT's on him due to bad throws or was the o-line so bad it was all over him like in regular games and he is forcing stuff with hands in his face and guys all around him cause he doesn't have a pocket?

There is a difference

That's easy to do when we run the same play over and over on offense.

Why is anyone even giving this report any credibility? Seems silly to me.

Yahoo is now reporting this story is 100% false

Link?

Yahoo report I heard was on the radio, no link and not searching for it if it exisits. Just heard a Yahoo reporter on NFL Radio

BUT....now Jeff Darlington of NFL Network is reporting essentially nobody but 1 agent is saying this story is true

https://twitter.com/JeffDarlington/status/651387377483685888

And players are saying this didn't happen.

Dang it. I was hoping Tannehill showed some emotion!!

https://twitter.com/JeffDarlington/status/651390604803489792

Darlington also threw Omar Kelly under the bus this morning and then put up this tweet.

Whole story is BS it's starting to look like

Another reason this story is false....on Saturday's there isn't a "practice" just a walk-through. So the facts of the story are now coming un-done as well per reports

Who is the "reporter living in Houston"? that ran the story?

Aaron Wilson.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/sources-say-tension-with-dolphins-had-been-mounting-for-weeks-in-practice/

I noticed that as soon as I read the report.

I thought this story was false?  This just showed up on PFT.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/06/joe-philbins-last-practice-showed-he-had-lost-control/ (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/06/joe-philbins-last-practice-showed-he-had-lost-control/)

PFT and Barry Jackson are just reporting almost word for word the same thing Aaron Wilson from Houston reported. PFT and Jackson are just late to the party with this report are just going off the Wilson report which has since been shot down. To the point that the Dolphins didn't have a practice Saturday before a game.

^^^Ya, I know.  I just had to point out how the media just throws shit on the wall to see if it will stick.  I know PFT isn't the best "source", but they could have done a little homework.

Barry Jackson's report came out last night...this story was officially shot down this morning. Surprised PFT is going with it late in the day today since other facts have come out. Unless they are just asleep at the wheel and missed the latest info from Jeff Darlington and others who have shot this down

No one other than Darlington denying the story.  :-\

I would trust the guy who works for NFL Network and was in London and never reports BS other than a guy in Houston and wasn't there, Barry Jackson who also wasn't in London and is piggy backing off the Wilson story, and PFT who is piggy backing off both of those stories.

First this supposedly happened at a practice on Saturday (they don't practice on Saturday's)....now Wilson is changing his story to a late week practice (he can't even give the day this happened and he broke the damn story), and no other Dolphins player ...who by the way all go public to say how Coyle stinks and Philbin doesn't know anything and this team leaks all the dirt on everyone.... has gone public to badmouth Tannehill and support this story.

AND you have Yahoo saying the story is 100% false. If this is true its gonna take more than a beat writer for the Houston Texans who covers the Texans 100% of the time, somehow breaking a story about the Dolphins who were in London to give this story any legs at this point. It makes zero sense and everyone else who has reported this "story" is just piggy backing off the Wilson story and adding nothing new and just quoting his story.

The only thing "new" on this story I saw is from FOX who said, most NFL teams tell the scout team and practice squad players to go easy in practice because they aren't showing off for the coaches for themselves, they are pretending to be that weeks opponent and doing what that specific team does that week does. So if your (just for example) Cedric Thompson and your lining up pretending to be Revis. And the coaches say Revis leans left every time to push the WR to his inside (just making this up for example sake) so when you are covering Landry or whoever the WR is, lean left and push them inside, so the offense will see today in practice what it will see Sunday in the real game (ya know help them prepare)...and then when the practice squad/scout team guys go ROGUE and lean right knowing Tannehill will probably throw to the inside cause of what the tendency Revis does and he is working off the info that the guy opposite him is pretending to be Revis and cause you expect the scout team to do what its told, well of course you will pick off the pass and look like a superstar, you know what's coming.....but you aren't helping the team prepare for that weeks game because you aren't doing what you are supposed to do which is mimick Revis (in this example)!! Your job in that role is to help prepare the first team offense that given week.

I don't disagree with much that you said. It just seems odd all of the local guys are ignoring the falsness of the story.

Not a lot of pulitzer prize writers covering the Fins lets be honest..lol

Leaking this morning (not officially confirmed yet) the "source" behind this Tannehill story is a sports agent who wasn't in London AND (wait for it) Miko Grimes!

That just says it all. Miko trying to get the attention off her I am guessing.

What is the deal with her? She has a major grudge against Tannehill. Is it because Tannehill's wife is considered a hot wife and Miko is considered a dud?

She is just pissed at the world. Thinks her husband is underpaid. She thinks she is a "journalist" cause Omar Kelly made her his partner on a weekend radio show and nobody takes her seriously as a "real journalist." She is legit crazy  and a nutcase. Part (not all) of the reason the Falcons let Brent go after his knee injury. Part of it was they didn't want to pay an injured guy big bucks the other part is they were sick of putting up with her and her antics.

Just heard a soundbite from Tannehill on the radio admitting to getting upset at the scout team, but denied the paycheck comments. He has since cleared the air with the defensive players.
