Dolphins players reportedly make an unexpected decision in the locker room.

The Miami Dolphins' 3-0 start to the 2022 season was pure entertainment. It's time to take things seriously after two consecutive losses.

Before the 2022 season, the Dolphins purchased a ping pong table and installed it in the locker room. Players could enjoy it as a diversion before or after practices.

Tyreek Hill and the other team leaders have chosen to take it out, though.

Ping-pong tables have been removed from the locker room by the Dolphins players in an effort to boost player preparation for games, according to Armando Salguero.

The ping pong table, according to Mike McDaniel, was a pointless diversion from the business of football.

[{"selector":"#anim-f017b4d5-f547-4ed5-a574-dd4645967b0a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d3cce5de-b674-4c85-968d-87a84babefc4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 162.94035%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The decision to remove the ping pong tables from the locker area was made by Tyreek and the captains. Through Pro Football Talk, McDaniel stated, "To me, that is leadership.

[{"selector":"#anim-9e198b5e-c44f-45fc-b374-ec4eb58adcc7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf6f29dd-7407-4c7f-9d5e-978251203adc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.32496%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This choice by Tyreek Hill and company is somewhat unexpected. Hill stated just a few weeks ago that the ping pong table was beneficial for the squad.

However, unnecessary games might be a significant distraction, especially when you're on a losing streak.
