Late in last night’s ugly loss to the Titans, Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was visibly upset. The video shows him not yelling at coach Mike McDaniel, but yelling close enough behind McDaniel so McDaniel could hear.

After the game, McDaniel asked a question from reporters about Hill’s demonstration. Heuvel did not.

Hill did not meet with reporters at all. According to the team, Hill often leaves the locker room before it is open to the media. That’s what happened last night.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the situation isn’t a violation of the league’s entry policy. All players are required to talk to reporters after each game.

The Dolphins aren’t the first team to, accidentally or otherwise, turn the heat out of a hot kitchen. Legend has it that the 49ers would often arrange for Jerry Rice to come out of the locker room after games if they feared his frustrations might prompt him to say something that would cause trouble for the team. If the media doesn’t complain about it, the situation is usually overlooked.

Who knows what Hill might have said last night? He and/or the team were smart enough to make sure he didn’t get a chance to release.

It is still a violation of the access policy. Media and fans should have heard from him after the match. Instead of letting the coach speculate about Hill’s feelings, Hill should have addressed them himself.

After all, the league requires this of all players. There is no “I’m too angry to talk” exception. And there’s certainly no exception to “I took a quick shower.”
