After the Dolphins fell to 0-2 on Sunday, Jason Taylor called his teammates together for a closed-door meeting to address some of the problems that he says they need to address to turn their season around. But after that meeting became public, Taylor has another problem.

Taylor said on Thursday that he?s upset that there have been media reports about what he said in the meeting, which obviously means some of his teammates have been telling reporters things that he shared with them in what he thought was a private setting.

?It?s a little disturbing that what was talked about in the locker room to begin with was talked about outside of the locker room,? Taylor said in comments provided by the team. ?That?s a little disappointing to me. There was no media in there so it shouldn?t have been public.?

Taylor said he didn?t reveal anything earth-shattering in the meeting, but he still wishes the meeting would have been kept between him and his teammates.

?That should have been a very private moment,? Taylor said. ?The cat?s out of the bag now.?

Asked by reporters if he regretted what he said, Taylor said he didn?t.

?I didn?t say a whole lot to you guys but . . . things take life on their own and go all these different directions and that?s fine. You guys are going to do what you want to do and that?s fine. To be honest, I really don?t care. I care about the guys in this locker room and trying to find a way to win some games. What I said was true.?

The 37-year-old Taylor, who?s a lot older than most of his teammates, sounded amazed by the way word can spread these days.

?It?s crazy the stuff that is our there now,? Taylor said. ?People tweet and twaht and all this other stuff that?s out. It?s amazing how much information can change hands. I remember as a kid you do that little thing where you tell your buddy a secret and he tells the next person and you tell the next person and five or six down the line it?s a completely different story . . . that?s the world we live in.?

Ultimately, Taylor said, the real problem within the Dolphins organization is the problem that?s reflected in the standings. That?s a problem Taylor said will be addressed on Sunday against the Browns.

?None of that will change until we start winning games, and we plan on doing that here in three days,? Taylor said. ?I believe we?re going to get on this airplane Saturday and go up to Cleveland and kick somebody?s ass.?
