The Miami Dolphins are hosting the New York Giants in a joint practice on Thursday, giving both teams a chance to workout against another team and different players. The experience against another team is important for both the players and the coaches trying to get a full evaluation of the team. The situation does lead to frustration at times, however, as one side does things a little differently or executes a drill at a different speed. That frustration can boil over, though Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley has said he will not tolerate those frustration turning into something dirty.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould there be a punch? No, if there\u2019s a punch thrown, they\u2019re out,\u201d Hafley told the media prior to the team\u2019s joint practice against the Washington Commanders last week. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what I told the team. It\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve told the team throughout camp. And we\u2019ve been fortunate, there haven\u2019t been a lot of fights. We don\u2019t have time for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Thursday, right tackle Austin Jackson discovered Hafley is more than just words; he upholds the standards he sets.<\/p>\n
The frustrations and scuffles were not limited to just Jackson, with reports of multiple incidents flaring up – but they did not reach the point of anyone else throwing a punch.<\/p>\n
Jackson\u2019s ejection from the workout loses the team\u2019s top right tackle some potentially key repetitions as he and the offensive line prepare for the regular season.<\/p>\n
Hafley wants the Dolphins to be more physical this year, but clearly he wants them to be disciplined in their application of that physicality. He proved he was a man of his word and that he holds the team to standards on Thursday when Jackson stepped outside that discipline.<\/p>\n
