"Part of coaching players is having them understand that it's not personal. This is a big business. A lot of people have questions, a lot of speculation. That's the nature of the National Football League. There's a lot of people that are paying attention, and a lot of people invested in it. You just have to explain where it's coming from and be a human being that I definitely can understand what that's like."
"A lot of the times people are flying blind. They just hear what they hear, so when that occurs, you just have to be very direct and honest, which we'll always be."
Miami Dolphins parted ways with general manager Chris Grier and retained head coach Mike McDaniel after a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Interim GM Champ Kelly now controls imminent roster decisions before the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Starting edge defenders Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb top the list of likely trade candidates, with reports indicating one will probably be dealt. Contending teams are expected to pursue pass-rush help. McDaniel emphasized focus on coaching while acknowledging that business conversations about player movement are standard and that communication with players will be direct and honest. Both Chubb and Phillips understood the potential stakes in the postgame locker room.
