The Phinsider
There have been rumors for some time now that our Miami Dolphins would like to add Asante Samuel Jr. to the roster to fill one of the bigger holes on the roster. Then came the news last week that Asante’s father, Asante Samuel Sr., had criticized the Dolphins for their lack of leadership. With that in mind, I asked the following question:
Do you agree with Asante Samuel Sr. that the team lacks leadership? If so, who do you think needs to step up this coming season to change that narrative? If you disagree, who on the offense, defense, or coaching staff do you consider leaders of the team?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
LSC20&Olney has an outline of what they are looking for in the team's future leaders.
I just hope that when the new leaders do step up that they have a solid work ethic and positive attitude. The new leaders should put the team above all else. We permit some of the most destructive and divisive people wear the “C” on their uniforms. I don’t care who votes for them. Coaches need to step in and simply say NO to people who quit on their teammates and those that divide a locker room.
Dolfanjoe says get out of the way, it’s going to handle itself!
The leaders will start to emerge in training camp. It will take care of itself..................
Yarganaught says you don’t have to yell to be the guy that the others follow...
Just because someone is loud, and even good at their role, doesn’t always make them a leader. Does making a player a “Captain” make them a “Leader”... no. I expect to see Jackson step up to be the leader of the O-line. I expect Seiler to be the leader of the D-line. I even expect Minkah F. to step into the role of the leader for the Secondary. I guess the real question in my mind is will Waddle step up to be the leader of the Receivers, or will Hill drown him out? Ideally, you expect your QB to be that Leader, but I just don’t see it from Tua, regardless of the smoke McDaniel tries to blow up our bums.
DolfaninME is not down with that, whatever that is!
F that. I have witnessed many acts of leadership from Tua. I saw him horsecollar an O L arguing with a defensive player and drag him back to the huddle. That is leadership. You just watch him on the field you know who the leader is. With regard to Ramsey, Miami didn’t want him and got rid of him and got Minkah in return. That tells the team that they will dump guys who aren’t on board.
