Head coach Mike McDaniel and Miami Dolphins players addressed former safety DeShon Elliott's harsh critique of the team being 'soft' last year. During practice, a notable moment occurred when players stretched to Drake's song 'Feel No Ways,' which resonated with their current mindset.

Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who wasn't with the team last season, defended the players' toughness, while safety Jevon Holland dismissed Elliott's comments as empty unless specific names were mentioned. McDaniel focused on the present, expressing confidence in the team's resilience.
