Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has dismissed comments made by former player DeShon Elliott regarding the team's mental toughness. Elliott, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, criticized the Dolphins on a podcast, labeling them as 'soft' during his time with the team last season.

McDaniel chose not to engage with Elliott's remarks, emphasizing his focus on the current Dolphins squad and their recent performance, which includes a victory over the Los Angeles Rams that ended a three-game losing streak.
