    Lazor has been a disappointment. He's green behind the ears. This is obvious. Another s--ty hire, imo.

    If Lamar Miller is gone next year, I think we'll all look back and recognize how the Dolphins, particularly the coaching staff, wasted a great talent in the prime of his career.

    i dont remember the statistics but i remember at one point tannehill was one of the top qb's when throwing on the run. why we dont call more roll outs is beyond me. miller/ajayi could be a dynamite duo but are wasted for whatever reason.

    Entire system failed Sunday folks, O/D/St

    Did not play as a team, would go further and will say it is not the OL's fault as much as we like to think.

    What I'm seeing is a young team doing young team things again

    Lazors entire offense is a failure. The quick screens, the lack of run plays, never moves his mobile qb, goes deep once a game (and it frustratingly works when we do, proving we should do it more often). I just can't believe how bad it is from a design standpoint.

    I feel like we'd be a better offense with a flowchart calling the plays. "Play 1:run the ball, did we get more than 3 yards? No? Run a slant. Yes? run the ball again. 3rd down and short? Run the ball. 3rd and long? Pass the ball, make all routes go pass first down marker"

    That flowchart would be the best OC we've had in years

    My my my, how the tables have turned...Lazor was beloved here...so much so that people argued for keeping Philbin so we wouldn't lose him....Dumbo probably had that same mindset, this silly desire for "continuity" has resulted in so many bad decisions.

    You understand that people in all walks of life can digress at a given task...right? 9.9999999 times out of 10 people take on a task for the first time and aren't automatically great at it. You do understand that, right? Also, some people can show improvement but then level off or even get worse.

    Any of this making sense to you?

    You see, at times, Lazor will be calling a good game and then...he will get....queasy?

    A lot of it's on Lazor, no excuse what so ever for Lamar Miller to have only seven carries in a close game. Having a stable running game is the difference between an efficient and inefficient Ryan Tannehill.

    Cut him some slack. He's a writer, not a mathematician.

    Good article. I wasn't sure how much of the blame was on lazor due to the oline but after the Las two weeks I realized he was the biggest culprit. He simply cant run an offense that has any ryhme or reason to it. We need to find a better coordinator

    Yeah well Lazor got here after Tannehill so... Tannehill is medicore but I also hate Lazor's offensive scheme. But then I'm sure a lot of his offensive scheme has to do with Tannehill's shortcomings. Only way to be sure is rid ourselves of both of them.

    I think i have sat back long enough and listened to the "greaters and haters" over tannehill. Tannehill is a below avg qb, all everyone talks about is oh tannehill is better when hes running out the pocket on a Thursday afternoon between 2 and 4. Thats not feasible to roll him out all the time. If you cannot count on your qb to make game decisions from the pocket he does not need to be in at QB. The pick 6 was all tannehills fault not lazors his inability to read defenses and make in game changes at the line is his downfall. He looks to me like he doesn't care "i got my check" oh well we will play again next week. They need to bench him and start Matt Moore even if it is a SH!t show to see if he has any fire to him. 1-10 on third down that's solely on the qb a 4 yr qb should not be running plays if he sees something different on the field. I agree 100 percent that lazor is remedial as hell. You cannot blame everything on Lazor RT had 2 years before Lazor got here and he shows no improvement in what is needed to win. You can talk all you want on qbr and completions. All I know is rookie Winston has more wins and better wins including the cowboys we just lost too and hes progressing through the yr and Rt is just wading in the water like normal. RT has thrown some nice balls not taking that away from him but inconsistent is not what a 96 mill qb should be getting paid that much to lose games. Now he is un-trade able for both his play as well as his contract. Thanks again front office for another mistake in QB and another yr at or below .500.

    It's always the offensive line. The wide receivers. The tight end. The running game. The offensive coordinator. The head coach. It never is the guy holding the ball on every offensive play.
