The confrontation with Hill underscored the high expectations placed on star players in critical moments like playoff games. The incident also sheds light on the pressure athletes face under such circumstances.
Recalling McDaniel’s anger back then, Hill said on Tuesday’s episode of the ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ podcast: ‘The play against Sneed. The Chiefs, everybody sees this play against the Chiefs. When the motherf***er slammed me to the floor? He called me out.
‘He was like, ”Reek, bro you’re supposed to be the f***ing best play in the f***ing league, and you got this guy putting hands all over you like that.
”We pay you all this money for what?”’
Now, nearly, three months after the Dolphins’ elimination from the NFL playoffs, Hill vowed to work on his overall game this offseason, as McDaniel’s criticism remains in his head.
‘For me, I love s*** like that. I’m gonna take that s*** to hear and I’m gonna get better from it. That’ll never happen again in my life, man. You feel me?’ Hill continued.
‘If a motherf***er cannot hold me accountable, I feel like I’m gonna get better, you know what I’m saying? Like, obviously, the coach can bypass that, you know what I’m saying, and just be like ”Ah, he’ll get better from it.”
‘But if he’s not saying nothing, like the other guys in the locker room, they’re gonna look at it as, ”Oh, if Reek can do it, I can do it.” And that’s not getting the team better,’ Hill added.
