The Miami Dolphins will be practicing together for the first time as a team in just a couple of weeks, but according to one player, the team is already ready to do whatever new head coach Brian Flores says.
Speaking to SiriusXM, Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake said that from the very first offseason meeting the players had, they could tell that Brian Flores was going to be a coach they’d all like.
According to Drake, he senses that Flores has been able to reach players by conveying the message that everyone is together.
I feel like Flores is coming in with a mindset of complete transparency in terms of he’s going to give his all, he expects you to give your all,” Drake told Bruce Murray and Phil Savage on the SiriusXM Blitz. “And in terms of just the verbiage between player and coach, it’s just going to be complete honesty and direct … It’s interesting just to see how everybody’s already responded to it. It hasn’t been necessarily him saying much, because he didn’t necessarily say much. He just kind of has this air about him where people are already ready to run through a wall for him.
While Drake did say that Flores was a very “personable” guy, he also said that he’s “very serious” about football, and that Drake is excited to see how things go in the coming months.
“So I’m excited to see kind of how it all progresses as OTAs come and then the rookies and everybody else comes and sees how he’s running the business. And then everybody just kind of follows suit then.”
The Dolphins will be hoping that Flores is the real deals and if the players buy into his message, the team will be hoping that they can turn around a franchise that has been searching for some consistency over the past couple of seasons.
