Head Coach Brian Flores said, "I talked to Bobby about this this morning.  He and I have a pretty open dialogue.  Heard his side of the story.  It's unfortunate.  I feel he needed to handle that situation better.  We're going to discipline Bobby for that.  We'll have that discipline internally.  But you know, situation like this they're... we've got to handle those situations, we take those very seriously."

Flores said the Dolphins are trying to set a standard of professionalism.

Flores also pointed to rookie Christian Wilkins getting thrown out of the game after throwing a punch in the first quarter of the game.
