Each and every day, Dolphin Maven brings you the latest news surrounding your favorite football team in a series they call: The Daily Hunt.  Join Jake Mendel (@Jmendel94) and Josh Houtz (@houtz) as they bring you the latest on the Miami Dolphins in this award-winning two part series.

In today's episode of Daily Hunt:

Josh Houtz discusses the latest from Barry Jackson's recent article, regarding Jerome Baker's comments on 'tanking' and what makes a 'real fan'

Here's a link to the article: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article235559747.html

And here is what Jerome Baker had to say regarding fans wanting to 'tank'

"You’re not a real fan if you’re rooting for us to lose, no matter what [the reason] is,” Baker said. “We try to win every chance we get. If we come up short, it’s not because we come up short for the future. I’ve seen the tanking and all that."

He then added...

“From outside looking in, you essentially think we’re just tanking. But we go out there and try to perform. If you are not performing, they get you out of here. Every guy wants to play well and ultimately stay as long as we can.”

In this episode, Houtz discusses his thoughts on Baker's comments and whether or not ANYONE has the right to say what makes someone a 'real fan'.  He then goes on a rant about Miami's poor defense and what Jerome Baker (and others) can do to stop the 'Tank''

All of this and more, on today's episode of The Daily Hunt
