Tyreek Hill, Jalen Ramsey advocate for aggressive attitude on field amid Dolphins training camp fight
A fight broke out during the Miami Dolphins' practice on Tuesday, highlighting Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey's advocacy for a more aggressive team attitude. As training camp ramps up, Jaylen Wright and Kader Kohou were involved in a skirmish that escalated with Patrick Paul throwing Kohou to the ground.
This incident is one of several training camp fights that have occurred around the league thus far. Following the fight at Miami's practice yesterday, Hill and Ramsey have inspired Miami to be "bullies," advocating for toughness and standing their ground.
“I think the fight we had today was amazing," Hill said via the Miami Herald. "We need that. Teams that I’ve been on that won, those teams fought. They aren’t going to fight in the locker room. This is where you fight. Then right after the play you calm yourself down, in between the whistle you’re right back at it with no mental errors.”
Hill says that from his experience in the past, the teams that he's been on that have fought have won. The fight inspired top cornerback Jalen Ramsey to give a 10-minute speech to the team after the fight about being "bullies" of the league.
Can the Miami Dolphins make a Super Bowl run this season?
The Miami Dolphins were close to winning the AFC East last season, but the Buffalo Bills went on a late-season run and won the division. Still, Miami ended up in the playoffs as a wildcard team. In fact, Miami has made the post-season the past two years as a wildcard team.
Miami has one of the most stacked teams on paper. They have an extremely explosive offense with the duo wide receiver of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who each had over 1,000 receiving yards last season. They've also added Odell Beckham Jr. to that group this off-season.
Running back Raheem Mostert had a career year running for over 1,000 yards in his career for the first team, leading the league in rushing touchdowns with 18. Rookie De'Von Achane was extremely productive in the games he played as a rookie.
Defensively, Miami is led by cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Bradley Chubb. They have also added the likes of Calais Campbell, Jordan Poyer and rookie Chop Robinson.
If healthy, Miami could make a Super Bowl run, as long as they can stand the harsh winter-like conditions in the postseason that's been problematic for them.
