    DeVante Parker Must Start For The Miami Dolphins - RantSports (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/1NZOMF0

    To sum it up, the writer believes that Parker is the key to giving the Dolphins a spark to the offense. It's also believed to give then a chance to win games.

    I agree. But only if he's gonna be starting at CB.

    As long as the trio of Landry, Matthews, and Parker stays together I don't care who starts. Those three guys are key to our future.

    As for "spark" for the team is concerned, I think the cornerback position needs a shakeup more than anything. Give Lippett, Bowman, and Bobby McCain a look.

    My top 3 WR's in snap count would be Landry, Matthews and Parker.

    If they were planning to play Parker more it doesn't really make sense to advertise it. Telling the Jets in advance is what would make them morons.

    They got looks all spring and summer long. Trust me. If any of them were viable replacements they'd already be on the field.

    I loved the statement that Stills would have to accept a reduced role in the offense if Parker gets more playing time. Based on how little Stills has been involved in the offense the first three weeks. The only way his role could be reduced anymore is for him to be put on the inactive list each week.

    So far the draft pick the Dolphins traded to the Saints for Stills seems like a complete waste of that draft pick.

    I'd like to see Stills get a reverse, quick screen, crossing route, something. Give the D something to think about other than Landy, Matthews, Cameron.

    Parker is, in all likelihood, still catching up. IF he can stay healthy, he'll be getting starters reps by seasons end.

    Stills was brought in to provide the deep speed which we lost when Wallace was traded. So far I don't know if he has that deep speed or not because he has been the invisible man in this offense.

    Parker looks smooth, catches what comes his way, and already has better stats than Jennings who got more playing time. It's time to give Parker a bigger role (starters should be Landry, Matthews, Parker IMO).

    Normally, I would agree. But philbin isn't capable of making such a deceptive move imo.

    I think that's more perception than reality. The offense isn't geared towards attacking deep outside the numbers. If it was we'd have seen Wallace have more success in that role. If MW couldn't do it Stills won't do any better but he does have a useful skill set and t the is point it's been ignored outside of a few token double moves. Gotta get Stills involved in the flow of the offense before the deep shots open up. Deja vu.

    One of the lone bright spots this year will be Devante Parker. He is looking solid. Love how he went up and came down with the football in the end zone last game getting it at its highest point. Unfortunately though Tannehill threw it out of bounds so no touchdown. Love the route running I saw and the hands. You could say maybe I'm jumping the gun but I think he will be a stud. Can't wait to see more of him as he gets more playing time as the year goes on.

    Don't know what will happen to Stills since the emergence of Matthews and we got Parker and Landry. Call me captain hindsight but the team could really use that 3rd round pick right now. It's going to be difficult to get Stills playing time.

    I wish people would break their foot and have pins, rods, screws in it and then talk about Parker not playing.... His recovery is still happening he isn't 100% despite what he says. Foot injuries take a long *** time to heal and often times don't heal to 100%. He missed a whole offseason.

    I'm glad the dolphins aren't rushing him. Why re-aggravate the injury. Why throw him out there when he has had only a month of practice?

    Nobody else has the potential to take the top off the defense. I think he's going to be just fine, assuming Tanny actually gets some time to throw deep.

    Depending on a rookie wideout who lacks route-running polish to come in and help elevate the offense after he missed most of TC and preseason?

    Ya, no. Like I said before the season started, I don't expect much of an impact til weeks 8-9 at the earliest.

    Our WRs aren't why we are losing. We need to fix the line or nothing else matters. If Jennings has another drive killing drop I'd be fine with us cutting him.

    Probably not the right place to point this out, but if the cancer has spread, removing the tumor does you no good.

    So it's palliative care for us then. Just take away the pain until the end (of the season).

    I don't think a spark is what is needed. We need someone who can block or tackle or our players deciding that they should start doing their jobs.

    I'm all for Parker getting more playing time but he can only do so much when DL are chasing RTH in the pocket and he is running for his life. Furthermore, we can't have LB getting pushed back 6 yards and a DL that does's disrupt running lanes.

    It would be nice to see what the team could do with a good OL. BUT, how is it possible for us to have horrible OL's for the last 10 years???? Other teams find guards in 5th round or later.

    WR snap counts for last Sunday's game when the offense had 76 snaps: Landry = 59, Jennings = 45, Parker = 41, Stills = 40, Matthews = 39

    I don't really care who starts, I think it is more of a case where Tannehill needs to start targeting Parker more. Matthews with less snaps than Jennings and Stills is nuts. Not a knock on Jennings and Stills, but it is obvious Tannehill and those guys aren't anywhere close to being on the same page. Good things happen when the ball is thrown to Matthews.

    I am with you, except that Stills has been getting more snaps, he just isn't doing much with them, I think they're talking about reducing his snaps, which is a good thing, and when Parker is ready they can reduce Jennings snaps as well, Parker, Matthews and Landry look like a real nice trio of WRs.

    Someone who I trust big time reviewed his film and Stills has been playing well. Team isn't getting him the ball for whatever reason. But he's getting open. That is all. We don't need to reduce his snaps. We need to reduce targets to landry.

    Why is no one upset with how few snaps Mathews got..... he's easily the 2nd best wr currently and probably best option after juice and cameron. Also Tanne seems extremely comfortable throwing his way.

    Going out on a limb here but I am starting parker over mathews in my fantasy league because of the revis factor.I think parker will be the go to guy outside of landry.

    Landry is a great utility player. He's getting way too many targets.

    I'm not sure he wouldn't benefit by running more down field routes.

    All I want to see is the coaches just put the best players on the field. If one of them is a rookie coming off foot surgery, so be it. Just play the best players.
