Just because more than a few of us are getting a more than a little bit squirrelly.... snatchin' and grabbin' at each othah...dissin' each othah!!... hollerin' at each othah!!.. forgettin' that we are all here to shout and jump up and down and leap for joy for this team 'cause the season is HEERRREEE!!!!
Sundays during football season are a beautiful thing! Cookouts, friends, jerseys, up early, laptop charging with Fantasy stats up, switching between games during commercials.....and Dolphins football most importantly! I love everyone here, its been a long offseason, but I'd not rather be ANYWHERE than this board with all of you!!!!
OK !! AMEN Brother ! Glass Half Full for a Glass Half Full thread - The Dolphins Defense comes together quicker than anticipated and just dominates opposing offenses and half of "Joe Robbie Stadium" is either carrying a giant "D" or a "Picket Fence". The new improved and exciting secondary lives up to and beyond expectations and turns the turnover margin into a HUGE PLUS !! Dion Jordan finally takes the field and him and C-Wake become the most feared pass rushing duo in the NFL.. Ellerbe and Wheeler are flying tackle machines and the front seven improves upon their already established slogan of "NOBODY RUNS THE BALL ON THE DOLPHINS" making it easier for the Dynamic Duo BOOK ENDS of Wake and Jordan to pin their ears back for QB munching. Lamar Miller blazes a trail that has even Adrian Peterson looking over his shoulder.. Ryan Tannehill turns the corner and the RT/WALLACE connection exceeds the blue print that was invisioned when we ante'd up for WALLACE. Not to be out done, Gibson puts up his finest year ever in the NFL and Tannehill's QB rating jumps to an impressive 95.9. Jeff Ireland is seen walking the sidelines during home games in a T-Shirt that reads on the front - "I TOLD YOU" and on the back "NOW STFU". Dolphins go 11-5 and WIN THE DIVISION as Brady and New England cannot adjust to the all the offseason changes, inticing even Omar Kelly to say, "The New England Dynasty is over - IT'S OUR TIME" The Dolphins CRUSH Houston in the opening round of the playoffs 45-0 but Ritchie Incognito gets suspended for the next game for laying out Swearinger with a left - right combination and putting a cleat grind into his forehead post-game. Cogs was heard saying as he grinded his cleat into Swearingers head " That scar is to remind you of Keller" The Dolphins ROLL on without Incognito and crush their next two opponents to head to the SUPER BOWL !! Keller shows off his SUPERBOWL RING and vows to come back from his injury and be a Dolphin for life. FIN D cries.
When I was 3 I was convinced I was going to marry her....saddest day in my life when I realized she wasn't real
If we can get either Jerry or Louis playing RG for us in the immediate future we should see a bit of improvement from the offensive line. Martin has done pretty well overall this preseason, he has had some bumps, but he also had stretches of better play for a longer period given where we are in the PS schedule. If we can get the RG position stabilized we are in better shape than many would feel. I cannot wait to get Miller 15 carries a game, he will produce some great plays for us and open up the air attack. What has been lost in much of preseason is how good he has looked behind the line overall. He has had a gaff or two as well, but you can see it - we will get big plays from Miller. Let him have the bulk of carries, and honestly work Gray and Gillislee into the mix as well. They'll try and stash Gray and then ride Thomas into the offseason and dump him. If you can do that then you a stable of young backs who can all play effectively, but better yet for less money.
15 carries + 4-5 catches would be perfect for Miller, that means plenty of work for whoever the #2 is.
