That's what I think Andy Reid has really brought. And I'm saying that as someone who was heavily critical of his hire in the first place.
And let me ask this: if Martin was on this team right now, does anyone think he doesn't go to Andy Reid first? Or that it even gets to the point where he has to?

I don't like Philbin's response that Martin never approached him. Either he was clueless to an obvious ticking time bomb or oblivious to the entire locker room culture, or he encouraged it. Or he did actually tried to stop it the right way, and is lying. Neither look good on him.
I'm not ruling out that maybe the Dolphins' org did sincerely try to get him help. But given that it sounds like they leaned toward "toughening him up", I doubt it.
