Tyreek Hill did not speak to reporters after last night's loss

Late on the final night of the ugly loss to the Titans, Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was visibly upset. The video shows him not yelling at coach Mike McDaniel, but behind McDaniel so close that McDaniel can hear it.

After the game, McDaniel asked a question from reporters about Hill's demonstration. Hill didn't.

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. This happened last night.

Of course, that doesn't mean the situation isn't a violation of the league's access policies. All players are required to speak to reporters after every game.

The Dolphins aren't the first team to take the heat out of a hot kitchen, accidentally or otherwise. Legend has it that the 49ers often made sure Jerry Rice wasn't in the locker room after games if they feared his frustration might cause him to say something that would cause problems for the team. If the media doesn't complain about it, the situation is usually overlooked.

Who knows what Hill would have said last night? He and/or the team were smart enough to make sure he didn't have a chance to unload.

It's still an access policy violation. The media and fans should have heard from him after the game. Instead of letting the coach speculate about Hill's feelings, Hill should have addressed it himself.

The league requires all players to do so after all games. There is no “I’m too excited to talk” exception. And there's definitely no “I took a quick shower” exception.
