*Official* Dolphins v Falcons preseason game thread

If you are going to insist on using that name, at least spell it correctly. It is Winnfield with two n's.
You're welcome. I am only here to help.

 

Just curious why our starting safety is in the game that late.

 

Exactly!!!!! Henne makes enough mistakes on his own. The huddled masses don't need to blame him when others screw up too.

 

You guys mix your metaphors worse than first-year poetry students.

Bob Sanders is 5'8"; he a little man in a big man's game, and he has been injured the last three years IN A ROW because of it.

Jimmy Wilson is NOT.

You DON'T want to jinx Jimmy Wilson, do you?

 

Wilson is NOT a Sanders though. Wilson is as much a corner as he is a safety. Sanders was a pure safety. Wilson looks like Ike Taylor or Charles Tillman to me.

 

That's right. Nobody fvcks with da Jesus!

 

Sanders is 5'8 and 205. Wilson is 5'11 and 185. Sanders is a pure safety. Wilson is at least as much a corner as he is a safety.

I'm not seeing a comparison at all.

 

Only thing I'd say, maybe, is was Fasano already looking at Henne when the pass was released? It was a pretty short throw, and Henne usually zips them pretty hard. If the pass was halfway there before Fasano picked it up in his vision, it may have handcuffed him. Still I can't blame Henne for accuracy on the play.

 

Our returnman's name is Jesus? Seriously? Cool.

 

Moore is more mobile than Jesus was though. He'd stand in the pocket too long, waiting for a receiver to come open and then get nailed.

 

Ray Willis looked weak getting bull rushed and allowing a sack to 7th round rookie Cliff Matthews.

I don't know how long Colombo played today, but never heard his name for allowing a sack or hit.

 

That would explain why it looked so laughable.

 

I honestly think henne was fine and people will make too big of a deal about what moore did tonight against 3rd stringers. He looked off against the 2nd stringers when he got in the game.

 

Yes sir. Our OL in the 4th was Barbre and Willis at OTs and Garner at C, with Jerry at LG, Feinga at RG, and Kopa in at one guard late. Near as I could tell.

 

If you cannot see the game on TV or online, why not just follow it at nfl.com? You'd have up to the minute scores and stats. Kind of silly for using a thread like this as your primary method of following the score.

 

I thought Jerry played some left guard too. Hard to see the numbers sometimes but the LG was a black man part of the time late in the game.

 

Usually we keep 5 WRs. Livas as a return specialist could make a case for 6. The rules on punt returns have not changed. So far there have been a lot more KRs than I would have guessed. At least in our game. Watched Oak-Az yesterday and Seabass put some through the uprights on the 35 yd line kickoff.

 

I know this is late, but I'm drunk and going through the game thread.

anytime? So let's say a QB makes such a bad throw it goes right to the cornerback. But the WR makes a super recovery makes a spectacular play and gets his hands on it to prevent an INT, but doesn't make the catch. It's still the WR's fault? You said anytime.

What about such a terrible throw that nobody has any business catching but the WR makes a spiderman move somehow gets his hands on it, it's still the WR's fault. Really? Anytime?

I think that's such a ridiculous notion

 

That's how it would look today.
Gates is a lock, and Wallace appears to have pulled ahead of Marlon Moore for the 5th spot.

 

Yes; and Yahoo sports has a live gametracker too.

 

I could not see the hold. Was it pretty blatant?

 

He quit his job for Marcellus and decided to just wander the earth. You want Wilson to do that?

 

True you might be drunk.........

 

Berger needs to show he can do something besides being just the backup center. I don't think we keep a reserve OL for just playing that spot. Hopefully he gets some guard reps. Berger was more a guard when we signed him anyway.
Figure if our starting OL is as today, but Jake at LT. There would be at most 4 reserves on the 53 and maybe only 3. Right now, I'd say Murtha and Garner are the front runners for 2 of those spots. Jerry may get another year to develop because of his draft status and the embarrassment of cutting a 2nd year 3rd rounder whom we personally worked with in the Senior Bowl. When you got a guy in that environment, and take him high, it's like he had an extra stamp or approval, that so far he ain't lived up to. I think his brother has been a disappointment in Atlanta too. Berger could make it as the 3rd or 4th reserve OL. He'll help his odds if he plays some guard and holds his own though.

 

He gave them the money, but not the wallet. Remember he told Pumpkin to take out the money and count it. His reformation was wandering the earth. I kind of hope Wilson hangs around Miami for a few years.

 

yup, it's ridiculous to think receivers get paid millions to catch the ball. If it doesn't hit them right in the numbers, in stride, they should be able to just sit down and enjoy a ham sammich.
