Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh reportedly had some strong words for his defensive teammates following their Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

In a "fiery" address to his teammates, Suh made it clear that he's the top player on defense, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

"I'm told he told them: 'I run this defense, I'm going to be here for the next five years, there is no guarantee any of you will be as well. Only a handful of guys are good enough to play with me right now,'" Rapoport said Sunday on "GameDay Morning."

"He also said the schemes were not good enough, the techniques were not enough and everyone needed to be better, he said 'follow me.'"

Reaction to Suh's speech was mixed, according to Rapoport.

"My understanding is the room was split, some saw this as the kind of address a leader would give," Rapoport said. "Others, just something they've never heard before."
