Tyreek Hill did after the season what Tyreek Hill does: make waves. The Miami Dolphins' superstar exploded his future with the team in controversy after his comments following the team's 32-20 loss in the season finale.
Hill said, "I'm out, bro", among other statements indicating his desire to move on. However, according to Hill himself, that was a statement of frustration, as well as a desire to see some changes with the Dolphins' franchise.
Hill was caught on a video stream explaining why he said what he did after the Jets loss, and he made it clear what he wants from Miami moving forward.
"What y'all heard at the end of the season is frustration, bro," Hill said. "I've been winning my whole life, bro. Y'all don't understand, bro. I bust my ass every day, so I deserve to feel like that. I deserve to have some kind of opinion. Y'all just want me to say, 'oh well, get them next year'. Nah, f*ck that. We've got to come back. We've got to put some pressure on motherf*ckers. Like, bro, y'all have got to fix this sh*t, bro. Like, come on. Add some motherf*cking dogs in this b*tch. I compete. Like I love to compete, bro."
The line about needing some dogs in the building tends to fit with a belief that the Dolphins are good, but not great, nor tough. That they're "soft", as some current and former players have mentioned publicly. The Dolphins are a team that's not built to pound you physically on offense, and their defensive front got exposed in losses to playoff teams in Buffalo and Green Bay.
In other words, yes, the Dolphins absolutely need more dogs. They need tougher, more physical players who can handle things when a game turns into a street fight. Miami has lost way, way too many of those games. The Dolphins need a mauler in the middle. They need a wideout who can go up and grab a football and then run over a guy. They need a defensive lineman who's going to make opposing linemen hate life for 60 game minutes. They need a safety who's going to make guys hate to run routes over the middle – even in this modified, safer NFL.
They need an identity change. There's no doubt about that. And Chris Grier has publicly acknowledged that the offensive line he claimed to have not been worried about needs a makeover.
That's nice, but that's step one of many in infusing a tougher DNA inside this football team. That needs to happen and it needs to happen this offseason. Otherwise, many people might be on their way out of town after 2025. Including the Cheetah.
