Derrick Dennis being all happy, and optimistic to just be on an NFL team and then immediately getting cut was honestly sad to watch.

[@jordan12118]

Facts. He was getting set up at the hotel as the team was deciding to let him walk smh

[@SteelersLakersFan]

He won 2016 most outstanding lineman in the CFL so he’s turned out a pretty good football career for himself

[@fraz72]

Agreed. Glad that he was able to continue his career though.

Poor Derek Dennis didn’t even get a single practice- at least Philbin cut him in person

[@TheLocalLt]

This was legendary for 1. ochocinco (even though he got suspended and never played in Miami) 1a. Ochocinco calling Chris hogan “7-11” because “he’s always open” (something chad originally said about himself)

[@joemayo9514]

TheLocalLt it’s Johnson now

[@TheLocalLt]

Joe Mayo not at the time. Also it was his nickname even before that, dude will always be known as ochocinco lol just like Johnny football will always be that.

[@joemayo9514]

DRT XD I forgot about that, but the line is a chad line from the mid 2000s anyway

2012: the Miami Dolphins are at the beginning of an overhaul. 2000: the Miami Dolphins are at the beginning of an overhaul. 2020: the Miami Dolphins are at the beginning of an overhaul. I haven't fully appreciated how good Dan Marino was making that team good to very good all those years, they have been lost in the woods since he retired.

[@anomiemnemonical578]

Not true. That early 00s Dolphins team was a problem

[@TheLocalLt]

2005 was an overhaul not 2000, the team was still good until Ricky Williams retired right before the season and Wannstedt quit

[@brandonlewis5135]

9:40 so you got this female handling contracts and says he the player isnt going to sign and go back into the draft lol..... this isn't the NHL. Thats not the rule wtf. No wonder the dolphins are bad

[@sanbernadinoslim7150]

[@Gruntpla]

J. Haney They’ve changed a few times since then

[@ThirteenAmp]

That's not the og logo, they gave the og a bit of an upgrade in 1997, the dolphins jersey from the 80s and early 90s is my favorite, the dolphin was bigger on the sleeve and helmets and not as cartoony as this version

[@sce2aux464]

Joe Philbin was one of the lousiest coaches to ever coach in the NFL. Sometimes looks aren’t deceiving. What you saw was what you got.

[@oddbigking9069]

SGT DOUG maybe he had autism because I have autism and I know people with autism have a hard time with making eye contact with people when they talk to them

[@anthonymendez1997]

Randomness Player I’m not talking about his eye contact. I’m talking about his ability to motivate and lead. There’s no toughness in him. When the Richie Incognito bullying scandal arose, I couldn’t believe how weak and wimpy he looked addressing the situation.

[@anthonymendez1997]

R D I almost had to laugh when Philbin was the interim head coach in Green Bay in 2018. You might as well have just put McCarthy back in. Philbin was a joke.

[@oddbigking9069]

Anthony Mendez I wasn’t even talking to u. Otherwise it would have said your name at the beginning of my other comment

[@fredleeland2464]

He does look like a grandpa who "watches" the grandkids while watching Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud...every now and then yelling "knock it off" from his chair

[@redt7452]

Moore is actually a decent QB, think he was named team MVP on the dolphins and played decent in Carolina. Also just won a ring 👀

[@aaroncelathian6777]

I remember playing Madden 2012 and using this team. Grew up near Miami and always rooted for the fins. Garrard to OchoCinco was so awesome.

[@christianariza3869]

Having Hard Knocks really exposed how bad the Dolphins coaching staff has been for years. It’s about time we get a good staff again due to Brian Flores building a strong coaching staff around him and being one of the best head coaches in the league. Fins Up.🐬🐬

[@TheJayday25]

Im far from a fin fan.. But gotta say this years team can do something.. From tackle to wr to rb to guard yall got some ballers.. Will b fun to watch

[@anthonyhutchins2300]

Brian Flores doesn't get enough credit with what he did for teh Pat's because he didn't have a big title for years.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

I hope Flores have success cuz it’s tough being a black coach (yeah I said it) who gets to a bad team with a higher chance of getting fired after year one

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Zac Taylor’s not a good head coach. He has Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase to coast off of. He acts like he’s a genius and all this is paying off, but he’s still every bit the spiritual successor to Dave Shula.

This was the first episode I ever watched, and I felt so bad for how Derek Dennis got cut. My friend told me this is a business for these teams. I told my friend, I was surprised how well he took it. If I was in Derek's shoes I would've flipped out at the team then storm out of the office. My friend said, "No they have to be professional about this if they want to get another opportunity to try out with another team".
