Mike McDaniel ignores former player calling Dolphins 'soft'

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he isn't concerned about a former player's comments about his team's mental toughness.

On an appearance on the "Punch Line Podcast," Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott said he was looking forward to playing the Baltimore Ravens this week because the team he played on last year -- the Dolphins -- was "soft as f---."

Elliott was part of a Miami team that went 11-6 last season, but the Dolphins lost 56-20 to the Ravens late in the season in a game that would have sealed an AFC East title if they'd won.
