Thursday was a scheduled day from Dolphins practice and they would not take another day on Friday.
This was the message from head coach Brian Flores when he spoke to reporters on Friday morning. The Dolphins will not ignore the issues raised by the Jacob Black shooting that other teams have chosen to discuss rather than practice in the present day.
Flores, one of the league’s four minority head coaches, said he would hold a post-practice team meeting, “to talk about some things so that we can make an impact.”
Flores said the team also spoke Wednesday about “how frustrating it was, how frustrating it is when they see situations from time to time.” He also shared some personal experiences that would bring him into the conversation.
“It simply came to our notice then. . . . Police officers had guns fired at me, ‘Flores said,’ by Adam Beasley Miami Herald. “It’s not something I take lightly. We need change. I am in the same situation. ”
The Lions did not choose to practice on Tuesday, eight teams canceled their scheduled activities on Thursday and the Ravens are holding a “team integration session” instead of practicing on Friday.
