    Jay Glazer reports that Jon Martin had a "freak out" at practice and walked out. Supposedly, somebody played a joke on him and he flipped his lid.

    Jonathan Martin threw a fit after a cafeteria prank on Monday. Prank was for everyone to leave table when last guy sits down. Jonathan Martin was last guy. Slammed tray down. Team dismissed him/he left to seek counseling/take a break.

    From the other thread.

    They always said that he was a level headed academic kind of guy. Not 100% sure how true this is. If true, good to see some emotion. Hopefully translates to the field

    Apparently the "prank" was that when hew as the last guy to sit at the table in the cafeteria everybody else got up (brilliant, original prank by the way fellas, glad to see you're concentrating so hard on important stuff and not the 4 game losing streak)

    The whole thing is ridiculous and just yet another typical event in Dolphinsland, where the abnormal is normal.

    @JeffDarlington:

    Some guys just can't take it. Danny Watkins felt pressure and underperformed in Philly, but he never did anything like this.

    Not sure what Nate Garner did, but if Clabo is going to start the staff just does not like Garner at all

    Mando now reporting that the teammates got up as a joke because Martin was ill, not in some 80s teen movie prank of getting up because they don't like him.

    If that's the case then Martin really overreacted and probably has some deeper issues.

    He went to Stanford, so I have to assume he is a fairly intelligent individual. Whether he is level headed or not, certainly now comes into question if he overreacted to this prank and was actually asked to leave the facility.

    It is one thing to show emotion on the field and this helps your play on the field. It is completely not normal behavior to react to a prank by causing such a commotion that you are sent home when the team has a game tomorrow and now won't even be playing in this game.

    I've never felt that Martin was anything but a very mediocre offensive lineman and after this type of behavior, perhaps the organization will realize that they need to look for his replacement, once this season is over.

    Andrew Abramson now reporting that he has confirmed that Martin is in a "facility" receiving treatment. that's a mental institution my friends.

    I would certainly say he's "doubtful" for tomorrow night.

    Guys, if he's having some kind of mental/emotional issue, let's have a little class and wish him better health.

    I think everyone is wishing him well and hoping he gets better.

    That being said, this incident affects the team, which is what we are all here to discuss.

    I don't think there's a lack of class in the reaction to this news. People are stunned and focusing on the impact to the team because, really, what else can be said in response?

    Cut a guy having some mental issues...yep, that's definitely the way to go.

    Hopefully he can get some help with whatever the issue is.

    Lost in this, and some of the joking that even I have done. I wish him well. I have more than my share of experience dealing with the mentally ill and it's a long, tough road. I sincerely hope he just "lost it a little" and it is not a symptom of something much more serious.

    Get healthy, get well and then worry about football.

    Your HC ought to know if there is a particular guy being picked on and put a stop to it, though that isn't what this seems to be about if Mando's report is correct.

    If there is hazing incidents at colleges and High Schools the coach is responsible. He's in charge. You set up an environment where that kind of stuff is either ok or its not.

    This is what happens when one unit is CLEARLY responsible for so much misfortune. If we had even average tackles we'd likely be 5-2.

    That is EVERYWHERE. I am hearing the same thing, and I am hearing it in ways that suggest that certain people want it to spread. Namely Media types and Players.

    The team morale is in the toilet and the panic button has been pressed. Only a win can save this team now, and even then, too many players are speaking out of school.

    And I am told that Martin is likely to go on IR due to some NFL wellness policy. This is from a media member. He is trying to confirm it.
