    Scroll down to the storylines.

    Ryan Tannehill is 0-2 to start his career with the Dolphins. Brian Billick has some advice for Miami to get the rookie quarterback his first win, among other observations through two weeks

    Shhhhhh.

    Cool, we could go 8-8 and still get the #1 pick in the draft if this keeps up.

    Oh god the entire article gave me infectious disease I think. Ryan is VERY accurate within the pocket and I've been blown away by his ball placement ability several times in his first two starts. The idea that we took him solely based on his athletic ability sickens me. Anyone who has watched any tape on him can see he is a passing QB with a beautiful release point who just happens to be athletic as well.

    They fixed the 0-2 reference, but that is pretty pathetic that it was there in the first place.

    I have realized that the so called experts on NFL network and the analysts doing the games, whether it is for CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, or NFLN really have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. Most of what they say is cliche. It is beyond obvious that they really do study the teams or analyze the statistics of each team.

    Take for instance the Washington Redskins game against the Saints. The "experts" on the major networks will tell you that Mike Shanahan scripted some quick, easy passes to get RGIII into a rythm. The reality of the situation is that Shanahan actually brought some of Art Briles's playbook with him and installed packaged plays that gave the quarterback several options based on what the defense was doing post snap.

    If you want a great overall view that is biased free, then check out Chris Brown's work at Grantland or any of the work that Football Outsiders puts out there.

    And how long did it take you to come to this realization? It's been that way as long as there have been broadcast sports "analysts".

    /\ To be fair, most are pretty vanilla and are getting the job because of their connections in the industry. However some guys have some pretty good football knowledge and are good to listen to. I like Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwin, they seem to always know whats going on with a team, less obvious players, know how to explain x and o's on plays for the fans who aren't as educated.

    NFL Sirius radio is a step up from NFL Network or any of the other sports television stations IMO. It's not perfect, but usually has entertaining and reasonably knowledgeable broadcasters.. Just don't like Adam Schein.

    He's probably a Jets fan. Who care's? The team will probably use this and the article that excluded Reggie to fuel their fire!

    Don't know how much more fire they need. From quotes I've seen on twitter, this team is PUMPED UP for this game.

Even Mike Dee is on there. As are guys Like Dan Marino and Jason Taylor.

    All the beat writers and team media guys too...Ben Volin, Omar Kelly, Jesse Agler, Dave Hyde, Mike Berardino, Armando Salguero, Greg Cote, and even NFL guys like Rich Eisen, Jay Glazer, John Clayton, Adam Schefter, Jason La Canfora, Jeff Darlington, Chris Mortensen.

    All good info there.

    I cannot in good faith do that.

    Doubt it. You can just search their name. They should come up.
