    Haha! Then why are you on a Dolphins website? Since you’re in Philly keep your opinions on the Eagles where they belong because you don’t know anything about the Miami Dolphins...

    Dolt... lol

    Two things, Ravens lost & do Eagles fans really think they're going to the Super Bowl? They've been known to choke worse than us.

    The Eagles made Nicks Foles and Mike Vick look like HoF QB’s. Wentz May be the real deal, but let’s give home more than half a season to proclaim him as a superstar.

    I don't think you can hold the current regime and players accountable for the history of the franchise, much like our current crew has no claim to the perfect season. Right now they look pretty solid at 8-1. Ajayi just helped them run the ball down the throats of the #2 run defense in the league (Philly is #1) while missing starters on their offensive line. I have only seen 2 of their games, but Philly is solid on defense and can run and pass the ball very well. It would take a lot of injuries or one to the QB to alter their course right now.

    With a couple of minutes to go some of us can still hold onto the fact that Ajayi may not get 100 yards today. I know that was a sticking point around here earlier. All he did with his 8 carries was run hard, break tackles and gain nearly 10 yards a touch while scoring a TD, mostly done in the first half when the game was still a game. But wait! If you take away his TD he has no TD's and under 4 yards a carry so he's pretty mediocre if we really want to customize our case and handpick his stats.
    Face it, there were holes to hit and he hit them. I don't know of many backs who don't improvise when there is no hole to hit. Drake did it last year on his most notable run, where he started out left and went right to score a big TD. I hope we do well, but unless our line is out to try and prove that they were not the issue and suddenly play with a sense of pride and aggression, we can look forward to an inconsistent running game at best. I hope Drake gains 200 yards tonight and every night and we know Ajayi will have good and bad days like everyone does. Our best hope is to throw short passes to Drake and Williams and mix them in perfectly to keep defenses off balance and protect our QB. It just looks like Ajayi knows what he is doing right now, which is troubling when you read the narrative that went along with this trade.

    I don't doubt he is a good player, that's why he was traded and not cut. I think some around here still haven't gotten past those 200 yard games he had LAST YEAR. He wasn't doing us any favors this year. Let's discuss this in the off season, after Philly doesn't win the Super Bowl. He wasn't helping Miami, Miami is moving on.

    I see the personal attacks have started, I know you would never speak that way to my face though and I’m okay with that, stay hiding behind your keyboard lol internet warrior lol your so childish... by god, thank goodness I talk to you over the internet and not real life. Fact is, I follow Philly Sports in general because I live here and these forums are made for people like me that are trying to communicate with fellow Phins fans... honestly.. if I lived in Miami area, I don’t think I would need these forums lmao seriously. However, DanMarino.. I would love to chat in person face to face... then you can call me Shemale or whatever you like. I know your mad Phillys QB is way better already than 30 year old underachieving Tannehill... it burns you up.

    Miami's had problems getting a stable o-line for a while, shocked it's not suddenly fixed this year. Good lineman usually take some seasoning. Get some consistency on the line, then find a back after your QB has a clean jersey. Our last one got his ribs fractured.

    No favors this year? None at all? He ran for 122 yards against San Diego, 130 against Atlanta, but I guess you have to run for at least 200 or your name is mud in Miami, huh?

    After the Eagles don't win the Super Bowl, then we can revisit this? Now there's a nice standard. If we go 4-12 (we won't) and they lose the Super Bowl by a point and Ajayi runs for 1000+ for them, that will prove we made a great deal, I guess? Because neither team won the Super Bowl?

    Yeh you would think if the problem was that noticeable they would do more to fix it..O well i don't expect much out of their draft gurus of late so nothing will surprise me.They will probably bundle this 4th rounder with our first for another Dion Jordan. I just hope them Canes keep winning so the Dolphins can't keep me down!

    That may have been extreme, he wasn't useless. Like I said, that's why he was traded and not cut. If he was able to score this season or gain more value in the coaches eyes by showing improvement in other areas, he might have had stronger knees to stand on. Going forward, I trust Gase made a decision that is beneficial to the team in the long run.

    Well, that's what we're all hoping. The Belichick way, no one is bigger than the team, everybody does their part. I'm really hoping Gase is the real deal, because if he is, and he proves it, that's great, we got him young and hopefully we'll have him for a long time. But I have to fight against this "Ajayi is trash, he's washed up" stuff I'm reading, because I just don't buy it.

    You know, I wonder, if Bledsoe hadn't gotten so badly hurt and Belichick hadn't been forced into playing Brady (I think Brady's great, obviously) he might never have gotten the chance to show how good a coach he was (he didn't get the chance in Cleveland, obviously). Even if Gase really is good, he may not show it here.

    I don't know what to think about Gase at this point. He's supposed to be a QB whisperer, but Tannehill last year wasn't really different from Tannehill in 2014. Cutler was OK with him in Chicago, nothing more, and has been horrible with him here. What stood out last year was JA. What's stood out this year, sort of, is the defense. Not sure Gase had much to do with either. The common thread between the two years is a terrific record in close games. Is that good coaching? Blind luck? Not sure.

    Jesus!I live in northern delaware (20 min south of philly) and I know plenty about the damm ****ing eagles!I will sadly agree with you the eagles will probally win a superbowl before we will even sniff a div title.Wentz is the real deal and if you have half a brain franchise qb is the by far the most important postion to reach the bowl.Currently we do not have anything close to that on the roster.
    What pisses me off is we helped the eagles land this guy.
    As for the ajay trade will see if the knees hold up long-term but in the short-term this could be final piece eagles need.

    But I think it would go a long way in disproving the theory that he was the biggest issue with our offense, as Gase would have us think. That is the part of this that I am most interested in. I like Gase. He took this often dysfunctional team to the playoffs last year with a bunch of key injuries and linebackers most people had never heard of. I'm just wondering how he pans out long term. If he starts dumping his most talented players because he cannot find a way to motivate them, I am either worried about him as a coach, or our front office for bringing in players who do not care.

    It was definitely a great idea to get rid of Ajayi. Just read this forum and you'll see that. Some of you guys are such blind homers. You could walk in on Gase banging your chick while simultaneously beating your dog and you'd be cool with it, cause "he knows best". This will go down as a horrible deal for the Dolphins.

    Then we are back to the question of whether it was Ajayi or the line. I think he is the same back he was a year ago. If he has lost a step, I don't see how he played so well today, but we'll see over the season. If you ignore that and want to trade away players wh oare not helping the team, how is Julius Thomas still here? What about our line? Who would you keep based on production? Maybe Tunsil based on Miami's favorite word "potential" just because he is young so you put up with his penalties for now. Pouncey, the guy who may be screwing up line calls so badly that the rest of the line looks worse than they are? Or are they that bad and you turf them and keep him bad hip and all? Bottom line is, if you weeded out this offense based on whether they are helping they team or not right now at mid season, you can't field a team. And no 2 positions are more intertwined than running back and offensive line, which is really the question here. You answered it in your post. Philly has an NFL caliber line and we don't, which I think is more the issue than Ajayi. That's kind of what I am saying. But yes, we'll know more later. It is only week one of this whole thing.

    If Ajayi was doing and saying the things I've read he was doing and saying, then Gase had no choice but to move him, regardless of whether or not he was our best player.

    You can't keep a player who shows no change in attitude over a year and a half, who is a leader, and who is undercutting the coach.

    It says far more about Gase that he was willing to get rid of him, than it would if he continued to keep a cancer around because he might with us an extra game or two.

    You're assuming that the player is willing to allow the coach to direct him. You see good players get traded from teams that need them, cause they're not able to work with the coach. It happens. Doesn't mean the coach isn't a good coach.
