Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins already has a list of what needs to change

MIAMI GARDENS – Maybe this is the Mike McDaniel the Miami Dolphins have always needed.

The Dolphins had just lost to the Tennessee Titans 31-12 on Monday night. The built-in excuses were there, waiting to be whipped out – breaking glass in an emergency, you might say.

McDaniel was having none of it.

The Dolphins were without their quarterback? Hard. The Titans didn’t have one either, and do you know how much it crippled them? They still managed to score 31 points, still managed to get into the starting lineup and look like a real NFL team, and still managed to surpass their 0-3 record entering the game.
