If he had been working out at the Dolphins facility at the time, there probably wouldn't have even been anyone else there.

To the contrary, there were several OTA's taking place that he missed. Albiet all were voluntary.

When your highest tenured team leader put's positioning his post-football career over his teams improvement, it just sends the wrong message. When your team is 1-15, those "voluntary" OTA's take on more meaning than if the team was 11-5.

Again, I believe to a certain degree that both parties share blame in the fall-out in Miami.

1.) Parcells needs to relax his sphincter a bit
2.) For Taylor, there are better times to pursue off-seeason commitments outside of football then when your team is 1-15.
