Dolphins players motivated by outside expectations: 'They talk. We do.'
Briefly

Criticism from national media has surrounded the Miami Dolphins, who finished the 2024 season with an 8-9 record and missed the playoffs. Season win prop bets range from 7.5 to 8.5 wins, and ESPN ranked Miami's roster as No. 24 in the NFL. Despite the negative sentiment, players reported to training camp with a determination to work hard and use external talk as motivation. Fullback Alec Ingold expressed the excitement of returning to the field, highlighting team unity and the desire to create a memorable season together.
"I don't give a s-," fullback Alec Ingold said. "Catch me in training camp. Catch these guys working. They can say whatever they want to. We are going out every single day and we're working."
Outside linebacker Bradley Chubb summed up his feelings in fewer words. "They talk. We do," he said. Chubb is coming back from missing all of the 2024 season after a knee injury suffered at the end of the 2023 season.
The excitement of football being back, it's like the first day of school, it's like seeing all your best friends after summer break," Ingold said. "I think there is a lot of joy and excitement to be around each other."
