Mike McDaniel said he's not concerned with former Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott calling last year's team "soft," adding "I just worry about this year's team."

As the Miami Dolphins face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, the significance of the game is understated as they are 2-6 and in the midst of a three-game skid. Despite the worry of the absence of Dolphins star Tyreek Hill, the Rams are a dangerous threat on offense, as head coach Mike McDaniel spoke on that topic Saturday.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back DeShon Elliott took a shot at his former team, the Miami Dolphins, recently, calling the team "soft" during an appearance on a podcast. On Wednesday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was asked about the comment.

Considering Tagovailoa's well-known history of concussions, it's no surprise McDaniel was asked if he's spoken with his QB1 about leaving such defensive plays for teammates.

Following a Monday Night Football win over the Rams, Dolphins' head coach Mike McDaniel is crediting Tyreek Hill's resilience.
