That's the thing- we need to see it in order to believe it. I completely get that. I'm actually more worried about the defense without Flores,...

You don't think Bridgewater can win with Tyreek, Waddle, and the other speedsters we've brought in? I think just about any QB can win with this...

That's just bizarre- Shaheen thought he was 100%, the Fins thought he was 100%, and now he's going for surgery? Something there doesn't add up.

The past few years, I've looked at pre-season turnovers differently. For instance, Thompson went his first week at camp with no picks. Is that...

Exactly, I would think he'd be coming home- but maybe not with the new regime. Always liked him a lot.

Who else could make it? The Cheetah is all I can think of at the moment.

I expect the line to be fairly good this year- not great, not terrible. Probably middle of the pack. Technique and scheme will both play a huge...

Good, we need a hammer drop! Hopefully they get this right and set the correct precedent for future players, coaches, and owners.

All good stuff- he wanted to practice, he could have practiced, but they said no for the right reasons.

LOL, I already root for the Jets vs the Bills and Pats, plus against top AFC teams down the stretch. But they never seem to win any of those...

That was freakin' hysterical- damn Jets can't do anything right! I think the reviewer was smoking some of that good herb though to consider that...

I almost want to root for the Jets this year- it's no fun hating them anymore when we know they can't be competitive. I really want them to be...

Backing up to the draft, Thompson was the #1 target on many teams' UFDA list. He's old for a rookie (25) and he does not play like one- many felt...

https://sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/Newsletter-Football/2022/08/11.aspx The nutshell is that Ross wants to keep the team in the family and...

I'm not sure. I do think we're playoff contenders anyway and I could see this team getting a playoff win or two this season. Maybe they don't go...

Don't quote me on this, but I heard we were losing multiple draft picks six months before it actually happened. I believe we pulled the trigger...

Yeah, I agree with what others said. The prosecutor wanted to suspend him for more than 6 games but wasn't allowed to. Or maybe she...

On one hand, play Tua to see what you have in this offense. On the other hand, let's take a long, hard look at Thompson to see if he's our QB3...

If that video were true, we would have paid the Rodgers rate this off-season and been a Super Bowl favorite.

The past few years, I don't turn on the game at 1PM anymore. I record it, and then start watching around 1:30 to 1:45. That lets me fast forward...

Well that's interesting...not sure I've ever seen a player actively playing that fails a physical.

I've heard from a few friends that the Lions Hard Knocks is pretty epic. Recorded it last night but probably won't have a chance to watch it...

Gotta love that- two veteran DB's praising Miami's receivers and a reporter saying he knows better.

That would be almost unthinkable- having draft picks stripped, an owner that might be removed, plus a star quarterback/sexual predator that may...

This sort of refutes the post Galant just made- sounds like Goodell isn't having it. [MEDIA] After watching that segment, this whole thing makes...

This year it looks like there's NFL+ just out, which is a monthly fee site. They're not as clear on what they offer since it only plays all...

Oh man, I absolutely hate that for Mighty Mouse. I also forgot that we sent him to Cleveland, so now I feel twice as bad for him.

Not a bad trade, not a big loss for Miami. Hopefully that means Hunter Long is stepping up. It also gives Shaheen a better chance to make a roster.

Omar is a decent beat writer. I never liked him because he was so critical of the Fins on many of those .500 teams- the hometown writer shouldn't...

I would guess a young LB, OL, or DE. We're pretty much set at other positions and actually have depth.

Needham is listed as our starting corner with Jones at safety- is that right?

Wow, so we're a month away from regular season- that's insane! The year seems to be flying by for me.

The article is correct- everything about this offense is timing. So if the QB loses a quarter or a half second because of a high snap, open...

For the firs time in what seems for forever, I am not worried about the offensive line. I mean, of course I'm worried they'll still stink, but we...

You could be right, he absolutely can't evade like Tua can. But that was sort of my bigger point as well- we shouldn't grade QB's in...

What Tua did last year with the worst line in the league, the ultra fast reads and quick releases, the way he avoided pressure- yeah, I saw a...

Think about it this way. If someone argued with you that the sky is purple, would you argue with them after mentioning that it's actually light...

It's crazy, but Tyreek and X will make each other better....competing against someone just as elite as you makes the games feel like practice...

Okay, that makes sense now- so it was pretty much like a plea bargain offer before the verdict came out. But what doesn't make sense is that the...

In my world, I think, "What if that was my kid, how would I react?" My daughter's 21 now and married, but our kids will always be our kids. And...

What the heck does that mean- he was offered a deal? That's not how suspensions are supposed to work...

Was Biegel the RV guy? If so, I really liked that dude. He was a solid, blue-collar player who played with a lot of heart. Sadly, I can't keep...

Some of the talking heads today said that Goodell was seeking an indefinite suspension and a steep fine. I have no idea if there's any truth to...

I read that a few places as well, that Jackson has learned a lot from Armstead and he's really improved techniques. He also came into camp around...

Huh, so that MFer was Jimmy G. That's crazy nobody knows that.

Hmm, that's possible too- the MFer could have been Flores. With Jimmy G, that feels like a stretch to me. I could see Brady wanting to go to San...

Didn't know that, thanks!

Heh, funny you should mention that. On an episode of The Shop, Brady made a comment that he was being recruited by a team and that the franchise...

1. Plus Tannehill, plus tossing out over half the training camp players and bringing in 20 folks from other team cuts. Our roster had almost 40...

I think you're having a selective memory here. Ross hired Flores and then: 1) Ross ordered Grier to trade away our talent so we would lose. 2)...

LMAO, I was going to post the same thing- they want to keep him as far as possible from the tampering, but hopefully not on Ross's yacht.

Well, think about it...Goodell can't change the maximum penalties; that's the players association. But the players association doesn't hand out...

I'm in upper management as well. If our company owner told us that he's going to hire a new CEO, but also fire most of the key staff and ask that...

By who? Criminals? Thugs? Of course that's their definition, because they want to steal your stuff and they don't want anyone to tell you that...

That's kind of impressive since Tannehill was known as a "practice hero". What does that mean? I have no idea. But it might be important.

Technically, he whiffed four times- 1st on NE Brady, 2nd on Tampa Brady, 3rd on Peyton, 4th on Harbaugh. Because let's be honest, if Brady wanted...

Hence why they dropped the Miami investigation the following day. It made the Watson story old news.

When was Flores supposed to do that? In the year where the team traded away his entire offensive line? The year Tua wasn't even fit to play but...

I wonder what the suspension would be for the 24th offense? Or maybe nobody has counted that high yet.

Correction- he's the week one practice MVP. We all know what's coming for him this season...boo boos and ouchies.

How awesome would it be if Fergie showed up out of nowhere and started firing executives? That would be the highlight of the entire season for...

Williams is still on his rookie contract and he's good enough to earn a roster spot. So for us, this is a non-story. Either he picks it up and...

My thoughts: unfortunately, this was inevitable and I wonder if it's why we gave up so much for Tyreek (to avoid being stripped of those picks a...

The crazy part is, if Ross is eventually out and Beal is also out, does that mean Tom Brady can eventually enter a bid to own the team? That...

Yeah, that won't happen. They use an arbitrator to avoid having to pass judgement themselves. They're not going to challenge the arbitrator that...

Tua's not "imperfect"...he's perfect for this offense that we're building due to his accuracy. Then again, a lot of other QB's could be "perfect"...

If I remember the coverage correctly, Kraft was on video in the massage pallor getting a happy ending. I assume it was consensual since that's...

If that was the max sentence allowed, then it makes sense why journalists are saying "read the findings!" That way they don't have to talk bad...

Completely missed it and I'm not sure how since we were both active on the forum at that time. Thanks!

Honestly, I'm thinking it's going to be in the 6-8 games range...that's what has been reported up until this point. And while the league has...

I agree. The article said they're speculating it because of our head coach's relationship with Jimmy G, but it really didn't make a bit of sense...

I saw yesterday that the suspension length is supposed to be announced today. I'm hoping for a very big number. I'm also hoping Baker Mayfield...

It's funny, I would have guessed Gisecki, the rookie with the complicated name, or the kid from Dallas. I think Waddle and Hill will get their...

I agree, but then a part of my mind says, "Yeah, our offense has completely changed and Waddle might be our 3rd or 4th most dangerous weapon. How...

I live in a rural area and when my internet is bad, it can take 5+ minutes for one of these pages to load. Most of the time, I don't wait 5...

Great series...he sounds like the best RB in the league by a longshot. Very much looking forward to what he does this season and how much this...

By "he", I'm guessing you mean Tua? If so, yeah, he did not have a great game against the Titans. But the play-calling in that game was bizarre...

I have the same fears- four losses is a real possibility. You'd think we're ahead of NE and you'd think our defense will play the same game...

That surprises me since the demographic is so different in South Florida today (for those that don't know, it's practically a Latin country).

That's the game that determined our fate last year? The only loss across the final nine games? I would think it was more about us starting the...

Yeah, I remember the name from a few years back. Don't think he was a superstar, but he's a guy that can run clean routes and make tough catches....

WOW, that's an insane turn of events. Hopefully he's okay.

That's the thing- we don't have to be the best offense in the NFL in order to win. We just have to be better than average while the defense shuts...

Wow, I completely get Goonies vibes from it. The first few seasons were pretty good, season three was okay and then season four was simply...

At one point, wasn't Boba almost dead and they brought him to the healing chamber? That would have been the ideal time for a pig monster revolt...

That sounds practical, but that's not how this stuff usually plays out. Just look at Tannehill- I was on the fence for years, saw a genuine...

You talking about the "pig monsters" in this thread is KILLING ME with laughter. They saved Fett multiple times...they were probably the two most...

Thinking back, I do sort of agree with your take. What happened was wrong. But how do you punish for it? That would be a whole other thing,...

By midway through the 3rd episode, it starts making some sense and stops being a 50's sitcom. By episode 4, I was hooked and the last few...

I do too, it's a cool look....really sleek.

That point hasn't been lost on me- Tannehill was the ultimate quarterback...except for that darn pocket presence. Now we have an elite pocket...

I still feel that way. He's only 25 today and was an ultra-cheap backup that could have been developed over three years. Maybe he washes out,...

Huh, good news for him. Last I heard, he was playing in one of the new semi-pro leagues, and I don't think he was a starter. The kid does have...

I do agree that they both had amazing talent, but Tua wasn't fighting to get the ball to receivers like Burrow was. He'd often get laid out by a...

The whole thing is a fair summary about an unfair environment. For example, the stat on clean pocket success rate- the pocket was almost never...

Whoever they say, "He's going to have a breakout year, he looks like a guaranteed future HOFer out there, etc..." They say that about someone...

My guess for 2022: Offense: 10th Defense: 12th Special Teams: 16th

That's nothing short of tragic- can't believe you waited for years, only for the system to go boom. At least you were able to return it and get...

I disagree- I think Minkah fits any system since you can use him at corner, safety, or even LB/DE on passing downs. His cover skills are off the...

Very true- Wilson sounded like a stud WR1 in pre-season, only to produce little to no impact the entire season. Hopefully Bowden isn't in the...

Rookie? What's that? We drafted Tyreek Hill this year and a prospect QB in the 7th. I guess they can hang out together and play catch, LOL. I...

You'd think the Jets would eventually have to get better just by the amount of time they've been horrible. Personally, I root for the Jets these...

I think you'd have to replace that oil rig with a coal plant to power an electric car?

Didn't Gisecki play on the tag last year as well? That's a bit puzzling to me- especially since they barely threw to him last year.

I like the new Texans helmet- reminds me of a racecar paint job. The white Bengal...I don't know. That one will take some time to adjust to. I...

Remember that Minkah wanted out. And honestly, there would have been a lot of good reasons why. We traded away Tunsil and Tannehill, plus...

Ginn Jr. had a pretty solid career as a return man and a specialist on offense. He was never an every-down WR that could block and run crisp...

I halfway expected a photo of a massage therapist on the helmet!

Just watched the video- he says Jackson and Eichenberg have zero combined experience at right tackle. This guy is a complete idiot- Eichenberg...

The only name I'm worried about is Gisecki. He's coming off the franchise tag and still doesn't have a deal. Plus, we didn't utilize him at all...

Carolina is my "home team" now so I'm hoping that he has some good years here. I've tried rooting for the Panthers for years now but it's been...

I went too! The Fins dominated those scrimmages, then got blown out in the actual pre-season game. I was so mad about that!

they said about 3 or 4 weeks ago that they weren't done bringing in free agent linemen, so there's a chance we end up grabbing one more before the...

I worry about that as well, but I think we'll see a much more cohesive line this season. As I've said a million times, Eichenberg has the talent...

Two things. First, forget about positions on offensive line- they get way over-hyped and twisted into something that just doesn't matter. On any...

Yeah, I completely agree. Lamar Jackson reminds me of Cam Newton- a truly great, unstoppable QB...until he's stopped. And we showed the...

The read that I get is that he's feeling entitled and acting like a spoiled brat. It's honestly very similar to the Watson situation before the...

I think Kyler Murray is contemplating an exit from the NFL (for baseball), so that one's unique. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson is a nightmare as well...

Barry Jackson- Sad to report that another member of Dolphins' 72 perfect team - Marlin Briscoe - has died. He became 1st black starting...

I touched on that several weeks ago- instead of confronting him when they learned he was seeking massages via Instagram and women were...

Darn, hate to hear that. Hopefully he passed peacefully in his sleep.

It's leaked out that Payton had already agreed to a 5 year/$100M contract with Miami. Brady was going to come in as a minority owner holding a...

I don't think we failed with either of them; it sounds like they backed out with the Flores allegations since it would prove tampering.

The initial ask was $100k each. We might never know what they settled for, but I sure am hoping it was well over that initial ask.

It was announced today that they plan to build a billion dollar stadium (in Cleveland). It is truly bewildering BUT their current stadium and...

There were 22 cases for the past year, and two more were added about 2 weeks ago. Then earlier this week, Watson settled 20 of the 24 and they...

Looking back, I see three things from that season: 1) Fitzpatrick wasn't supposed to be winning in year one- he was there simply to keep team...

The thing is, we know about Brady and DeShaun. How many QB's don't we know about? Were we going after Rodgers, Wilson, or Matt Ryan? Why did we...

The average household in the US makes around $55k a year. Note I said household- so that's two adults working 12 months for what these NFL...

That or Harbaugh, because it sounds like both were in play at the same time. The same goes for Brady/DeShaun while publicly backing Tua. It is...

I thought that too- Parker belonged in the 25 cent bargain bin.

No cause of death yet on any of the main sites. Looks like NFL.com broke the story and has no details. What a tragedy.

I Google that maybe once a year or so, it brings a smile to my face every time. You know what- we need a "Best Dolphins Plays" section of the...

Probably not, Brady will stop him short of the goal line and get him to play another season.

Ricky Williams was better than Csonka, in my opinion. Both were clearly great though!

Are we assuming we get each piece in their prime? If we need one of each, I take: Marino Ricky Williams Gesicki Sparano Chambers Honestly...

For the past decade, we've been around a .500 team. I've been happy with that, especially the past two years of 9 and 10 wins. That means we're...

In my opinion, I believe that Watson thinks he did nothing wrong...even though he contacted 66 therapists (according to the Texans, the number...

It looks like he's pretty close to being traded to the Carolina Panthers, which is mind-bending all on its own! How can you trade a franchise QB...

Saying it on Pat McAfee is a good place to say it as well, his fans are fanatics and tend to take up his causes pretty hardcore. So maybe next...

That's a tough one. Tua was pressured more, Burrow was leveled more. Tua has better footwork and accuracy, Burrow has better everything else....

I agree, and I think that's what Tyreek meant by his statement as well. He wasn't talking accuracy as in career catches, he was referring to...

I wasn't trying to say it was a bad list to be on at all- I was just speaking to the context of how "successful plays" don't equal winning or even...

Pretty good video from Ace Per Head breaking down Tua. [MEDIA] In a nutshell, he's saying that Tua did not have the right tools or right...

So 40% of 1st down yard goals- 4 yards. 60% of 2nd down....if it's 2nd and 6, that's another 4 yards. Or if first down failed and you're 2nd and...

The grand jury typically spends about 10 seconds per case since they go through hundreds of them daily. Unless a high-powered lawyer is involved,...

I agree- Tua did well as an RPO quarterback with very little to work with around him. They ran RPO often...even though we didn't have much of a...

A columnist is a reporter with an opinion, so Cote was only partially correct. Because in order to be able to share an opinion and actually have...

I've been a writer for decades and started off as a journalist. It takes work to tell an unbiased story, both sides of the equation, and I...

The very first line in listing top-10 rankings is "Tua was the best RPO quarterback in the NFL in 2021." That makes me wonder- how many "RPO...

That would be comical- didn't even think about that aspect of it all. We've been rooting against the Texans every since the Tunsil/Stills trade...

Yeah, the Mayfield situation is a complete disaster. I get why they'd want a higher tier quarterback, who wouldn't, but you have to be open and...

Because if you take that stance, then players feel like they have to take the bad stuff to compete on a level playing field. That means guys not...

The Boys is pretty fun; I'm watching season 3 now as it comes out. It sort of reminds me of what Blue Mountain State was as a football show- it...

Well, he had 564 attempts- how many games was the NFL season then- 16? If so, that's 35 attempts per game. Last year, the average was 34.4 so he...

I mean, I personally thought it was obvious...especially since we all know that Tannehill has excellent practices. But they did insist that...

There is a Reacher season 1 on Amazon Prime that's awesome- based directly on the books and the actor plays Jack Reacher wonderfully. Season 2...

It's a good comparison, and it also shows that "backup" doesn't always mean actually being a backup. RT kept his head down, kept working, and...

Sure, but that was my entire point. That's why we can't answer the question "what could we have done better"- there was a ton of things we could...

That would make sense, like a preseason international touring league. The timelines don't matter as much as well, so the traveling teams could...

Yeah, we'll really never know what happened without someone from the inside talking. Honestly, with all the conflicting talk, I have a feeling...

The front office could have done a lot of things- Kept Flores Signed Watson Signed Brady Brought in Sean Peyton Hired a more experienced coach...

Huh? I'm not a moderator.

I remember around week 8 that news reports said Flores took over the defense, and that's the week we embarrassed the Ravens. It felt like the D...

But that's not how the NFL works. Just look at some of the recent QB trades, like Watson. We were adamant that we had no interest in him, we...

100%. Great progress reports are fun and all, but it has to translate to the field on game day. It did say in there that he was throwing 50-60...

I completely agree. We always have to take what a trainer says with a gran of salt, but he gave some hard facts in there that sounded genuine....

In his final year, Kaep posted a 90.7 rating (14th overall) on a 2-14 football team. That was his 3rd best season ever, and he had a respectable...

The list of banned substances is a mile long and athletes have to be super careful what they take. But think about it, do you really think they...

Two points here: 1) We've had a historically good defense the past few years, and we just installed a new offense with new players and a new...

Yup, and he was mostly positive about Tua but critical of our head coach, saying he had zero experience calling plays. Then the host (wasn't Joe...

That's true- I had not thought about it that way. Like I said, I'm hoping that I was wrong about Flores and there's no impact on the D. I'd love...

I'm worried the defense will be worse without Flores- the real question is how much worse? If it's a slight drop-off but we also get a better...

Looking back with what we know now, I'm glad that he's gone as HC as well. I would have loved it if we could have kept him over the defense and...

That's exactly what I was thinking while reading the article. It's debatable if Kaep can outplay Carr- probably not at his age with 6 years off....

Yeah, winning with Fitz and that incredibly lousy team- there was something special about it. We should have been guaranteed an 0-16 record, but...

I mean, if we even kept a few quality players three years ago, I have no doubt Flores would have strung together three winning seasons. He came...

I absolutely wish him luck wherever he goes- I love that guy for his spirit and willingness to shine.

My guess is that Jackson wins the RT battle in camp and Hunt stays at RG. I think long-term though, Eichenberg will be the RT starter since he...

He has like a dozen kids- pretty sure his plan was just to stay home and be a dad. I wouldn't count him out just yet though; someone will call...

I thought his evaluation was pretty fair. An evolved Tua equals 10 or 11 wins. Average Tua equals 9. Bad Tua, 7 or 8 wins. That's pretty much...

I read an interesting tidbit on him the other day- Skylar Thompson was not expected to be drafted because he's already 24 years old. We drafted...

Wilson has talent but for whatever reason, we rarely saw it in Miami. He was going to lose out in the depth pool anyway.

Do your research. He's talked to multiple teams, worked out for two teams, plus held his own combine. His agent has also said at least a dozen...

I don't think it matters whether Kaep was cut or not- the result would have been the same. He decided to walk away from the 49ers and he's made...

Thanks for your answer. That makes a lot of sense...and it explains in 30 seconds why that region probably won't ever see peace. I really...

Good for you- hopefully you transitioned well back into society! That topic I do know a good bit about from a mental health perspective. The...

Great post, and I'm sorry for your losses. As a civilian, it's easy to forget the the meaning of the day and the sacrifices made on our behalf....

That's great news! Not sure he ultimately makes the team, but a rookie QB showing out is always a great problem to have.

The stat says "average yards past the sticks on 3rd and 4th down", so that makes me think the opposite- did Miami have a bunch of 3rd and 1's?...

This is basically a joke to everyone but Kaepernick. As of last year, he wanted to return to the league as a starter only and expected a salary...

Manny moved to our neighborhood in 1977 (I think). I was 4 at the time and have no memory of it, but my dad was over there often having a beer,...

Not really a trigger- he just has zero respect for Tua and he had to preface the heck out of his complaints. Yeah, he can make all the throws....

I've shared this here before, but the champagne toast is not a real thing- never was the way the media makes it out. Was there a toast among a...

That's freakin' awesome! I mean, come on, who cares which coach is working with which players...it's not like that changes anyone's game plan or...

I used to hate predictions from the talking heads, but nowadays I use it more for getting a pulse on what outsiders think about our team. If he's...

Oof. That's not a good prediction to see, LOL. But he could be right since a new coach is a complete toss-up in terms of how the roster responds.

There's a lot of "party bus" services specifically for games, and sometimes they're cheaper than Ubers overall. Uber works, but the problem is...

Veteran depth at edge is never a bad thing. Probably not a starter and that's perfectly fine. We're gearing up for a run and this is a very...

Personally, I'd love it if the NFL had a farm system similar to baseball. We'd only have one extra level instead of baseball's three, and teams...

One thing to keep in mind- we've struggled run blocking for the past three seasons and a lot of folks will translate that to the RB not being...

People do that with every quarterback, and you're probably right that some here love the Fins yet want to see him fail. But calling them out on...

Your phone is your ticket and you shouldn't need internet connection to view it. If you've received your ticket confirmation, download them to...

I wish Tua would have gone #1. Then I wish someone released a video of Joe Burrow doing bong hits in a gas mask so #'s 2, 3, and 4 weren't...

For me, week 3 will set the tone for the season. The next step of our "perennial playoff contender" path is beating the Bills at home. If we...

Like Lucky said, Pitt is a pretty complete team and I try to be realistic as possible in predictions (without being too much of a fan-nerd). An...

I see around 11-6 or 12-5, losing to @Bills, Pitt, Cinci, @Chargers, then maybe Cleveland, Baltimore & Green Bay. Not a terrible schedule though...

Damn, he's a superstar. A no-bond hold usually means he made some confident threats on the way into custody.

"According to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, the Miami Dolphins will open up their season by playing the New England Patriots at Hard Rock...

I'm pretty much in the middle of the argument, basically how I was with Tannehill. On one hand, I don't see why the Tua fans are trying to prove...

I mean, that's the whole goal for any QB...putting them in an ideal scenario to succeed. Tua has no excuses this season, so either he steps up or...

I don't know, a great pass protection back is a valuable asset. Wouldn't be shocked to see him crack the starting rotation on 3rd downs.

I think him and White have the best chances of making the roster. Maybe Deisch lands at depth for guard too. Overall though, I think it was a...

I kind of felt the same way as well. There were several things I forgot about when I looked around the web afterwards I was like, "Oh...

Okay, I went and saw it with my wife, my daughter, and her husband. My wife's seen the last Spiderman (which she LOVED), but that's pretty much it...

First of all, thanks for that! Never would have caught it otherwise. Second, that was some gangster stuff by an Egyptian God, LMAO.

I saw the Dr. Strange what if....do I need to watch them all or just that one? I also saw WandaVision so I'm good there...and I'm happy that ties...

So how was it? Does it live up to all the hype?

I've enjoyed it so far too. The last few episodes dragged on a little too much for me, which feels like a theme for Marvel/Disney shows. But...

Okay, who's rushing out to see Dr. Strange? I'll probably go sometime this weekend since he's my favorite recent hero. Of the non-spoiler...

Crazy list. So we have #1 and #10, plus we traded away #6 and secretly recruited #4. We basically own the top 10, LOL.

1) The starting 5 on the offensive line. I don't care what combination we end up with, but we need a competent line that buys Tua some time. If...

Well, to counter that, it may make sense to have Tyreek taking half those catches away from him. I think they'll both have good numbers but...

I don't know, I guess because his chances of making the team were so tiny to begin with, I just loved seeing the little guy have some success.

LOL, Jakeem was one of my favorites as well. It was certainly a love/hate relationship though with those tiny hands and tiny catch radius. I...

Sticking with the theme of this thread, what I like the most about this draft is that we don't need any of these players to be all-pros in year...

Oh heck, I was scooped on my own scoop then!

Bah, I leaked that two weeks ago with the details on why, LOL. It may be the only "exclusive" I get in the next 20 years, so I'm claiming it.

The big thing is that he has MASSIVE UPSIDE. If this kid develops, he really could be a modern Barry Sanders type of player. But who...

Me too, was fairly close to what I expected though!

The Pats took a 4th round guard with their 1st round pick- so I'm pretty confident we weren't the worst of the division. The Jets clearly won...

That's my "home team" here in the Carolinas but I didn't see White very often. Then I realized that he wasn't the starter and the film showed...

I watched some film on him, and honestly he doesn't blow me away. Good foot technique, good size (6'7", 300 lbs), and ran the 40 in 4.8. So good...

Nope, we can sign as many as we want. Of course, there's roster limits for training camp, preseason, etc....but otherwise there's no specific...

From what I've read, he's regarded as having among the best hands in this entire draft. Not a huge guy, not a true speedster, but he fights hard...

Caught this in a Herald article; several good nuggets- Dolphins general manager Chris Grier mentioned the Dolphins have been targeting Tindall...

It's a fair point, but Burrow is truly special as well. He'll eventually be the #1 QB in the league for a very long time.

True, but we didn't see much of Wilson last year so I don't know what's going on there. New regime though, I bet we see more of him.

They brought in a free agent receiver and paid him, plus several others with less productivity cashed in this off-season. In short, he feels...

Wait, there's one other benefit- duh. My kids and my brother know Deebo, they hang out with the same friends. So if Miami were to sign him, I'd...

That's a fair point, but that's also the goal of every franchise...to build a complete team. No offense to any QB, but even if you put Mahommes...

For me, what he adds is one on one coverage for somebody that shouldn't ever be 1:1. Maybe it's him, or maybe Waddle or Tyreek, but we'd have...

Yes, I believe Tua can be that quarterback. He had three stud receivers at Alabama, and now he has three stud receivers with Miami (counting...

Okay, here's my looney-tune, tin-foil hat conspiracy draft. We'll actually end up picking in the top-10 in this year's NFL draft to escape...

Yeah, or any combination of air yards + yards after the catch. How they get there doesn't matter...it's the end goal (a TD) that counts.

No it's not. If someone was open deep, Tua threw deep and he was accurate. Nothing cherry picked about that. My only point is that Tua couldn't...

Tua wasn't throwing deep because he didn't have time to throw deep. However, that doesn't mean he can't throw deep...he was pretty darn good at...

Just got home a few hours ago, I'll upload some pics tomorrow since it's late here. We had an absolute blast though!

I mean....wow. I get why someone would say, "<Star player> makes xxx, so I should make at least xxx." But when you throw tantrums, stop...

Personally, I can't help but wonder if that's why we traded away all our picks THIS YEAR. Maybe I'm reading too far into it, but I have a feeling...

LOL, what an evil take! I think we'll find out that's actually true though.

For those of you unfamiliar with NFL terminology, "in the mix" means he's sitting on the bench and ready to take the field at any given moment....

That's clearly Burrow...we all know that. But I did love the little dig at Herbert as well when the quote said he gets rattled when people put...

I look at what players like Jason Taylor and Cam Wake did in the tail ends of their careers when they were technically past their prime- they were...

Part of that is just feeling supported. We've all been in jobs with lousy bosses where we were walking on eggshells on when we'd be fired. With...

That's horrible news- any details? I couldn't find anything specific.

Ohh, I missed him- he hits all the criteria and we already know he was a party animal too. It probably is him.

Star player in 2015, always worked hard, still in the league, on Miami's roster between 2010 and 2015; it can really be one of two people- Landry...

I agree. The coach I referenced wasn't being mean just to be mean, he was doing it to push us. I've never been in the military but I'm assuming...

In high school JV, I had a head coach that was a mentor and a friend. Learned a ton from him and always thought of him fondly. I even visited...

Ooh, very cool! I know nothing about him but his story is intriguing- seems like a Miami-type of player getting a second chance. Already rooting...

It was a 5-win season with probably the worst roster in the history of football. No veterans, no stars (except for Howard), and we signed almost...

I completely disagree. In year one, Flores won 5 more games than expected. In year two, we loaded up the line with prospects, started horrible,...

On one hand he has to be better than what we have, but surely there's someone better in the draft. 36 feels pretty old for a punter.

LOL, I did the math right, didn't I? I mean, we got the same answers. I just suck at math definitions apparently.

In 2002 with Buffalo, Bledsoe's QB Rating was better than Brady's. He also went to the pro-bowl that year. So my short answer is that I think NE...

Let's say we're in a 3-man 100 yard dash. You, me, and Galant. We race and you come in 1st, Galant is 2nd and I'm in 3rd. Do we need any...

There's 32 starting quarterbacks- how can 18 of them be "above average"? Think about that for a moment. If they aren't rated against each other,...

How am I lying to myself? There's 32 starting QBs. #16 was Jay Fiedler with an 85.2 rating. That tells me 85.2 is average....because he's right...

Where does the calculated mean 80.22 come from? Because Aaron Brooks had an 80.1 rating at #19 overall. Vick was #18 w/ 81.6. I get you have a...

Short answer? Yes.

In 2002, Brady was tied for 9th in QB rating with 85.7. Pennington was 1st with 104.2. However, the difference between 9th and 18th was 1.4...

I know they were really high on him in training camp, but injury stopped his debut. Who knows, the potential is certainly there though.

Some pretty good picks there. What happened to Tank? I completely forgot about him.

That was my point as well; he wasn't putting up "elite" numbers until his 8th year, even though he had been to multiple Super Bowls at that time....

LMAO, nobody wants to pick in the 1st round this year. The talent is nowhere near as impressive as the last few drafts.

Yes, I am really comparing Tua to Brady. Similar play styles, similar strengths, etc. And for the record, I've NEVER said Brady was elite. I...

I meant Tom was hurt in 2008 and his numbers dropped way off the following season. Tua came to us off a major surgery and people wondered why he...

Funny you used the Pats as an example. How many people here would have said Brady was elite 10 years ago? Or even 5 years ago? Not me....

I have no idea where I read this last week, or maybe it was McDaniels in one of the interviews he did, but I got the feeling like he wanted to...

This isn't a scandal as much as it is a crime. For lack of a better word, it's embezzlement. On a related note, I caught somewhere that Miami...

You've seen a few NE receivers pass through Miami and talk about the "Patriot Way". Belichek will not let Parker believe he's special and that...

Never watched this guy before, but he had me laughing so I decided to share. Fun unbiased opinion anyway. [MEDIA]

As I said in another thread, Parker is 100% replaceable by Preston Williams, but Williams is also younger and cheaper as well. Great move getting...

Only 7 TD's for Herbert in Buffalo in January? He must have had the flu that day!

This is absolutely true...but I'm going to say something unpopular here. I think we'll be okay without bringing in a new RT. Eichenberg will...

I remember that one- wasn't it like 9 to 7? Both defenses played great. And we have the ability to be at that level for a number of years given...

I mean, what teams in the league can confidently go into Buffalo in December and expect to win? KC lost there. Tenn lost there. They're a great...

I caught that a few days ago, he's one of the few. There was one more fairly notable name that was bashing Tua, can't think of who it was though....

Oh, I absolutely agree. I just meant the scenario of developing into a great QB but never winning it all. Marino was pretty much a stud from his...

Believe it or not, most of the "talking heads" are very pro-Tua at the moment. Their two favorite phrases are "He's the best RPO quarterback in...

Makes sense- if the science says they work, make them mandatory. Why just practices though? They should be game-worn as well.

I don't think anyone here thinks that or is saying that. Personally, I think he's a young QB coming from a powerhouse college team and he got off...

OMG that music, LOL! The 80's are calling and they want their band back!

LOL @ Brady hitting 44 MPH. As much as I can't stand him from a football perspective, he seems like a pretty decent guy. It pains me to say that...

I kind of feel that way too. When you fall down in the mud, the only thing to really do is either stay down there or stand up. I get the same...

That's ruthless but I kind of like it. Why one point though? Why not say the defending team gets 3 points immediately and the receiving team is...

I think the slow start last year was a combination of Tua getting up to NFL speed and timing, plus a lack of quality receivers and an embarrassing...

Yeah, I don't like it either. Even the NFL logo on the side stinks.

Rosen started the 1st year. Fitz started year 2 and was benched for Tua (twice). I wasn't trying to make it a conspiracy or anything- we were...

To be fair, the offensive staff also had nothing to build on and their main job was to ensure Fitzpatrick wasn't killed on national TV. I...

The cruise for the two of us was $1400 w/ taxes, port charges, etc. for a balcony room (they're about twice as much as inside rooms) and there's...

Yeah, very true- we didn't go into any games, anywhere expecting to lose. With Marino, there was always a good chance...even when we were down...

That would be absolutely insane- an offensive genius is brought in to build an offense around Tua, then he replaces Tua without even playing a...

Man, I vividly remember those days...we were never truly out of a game with #13 in the huddle. But I think you're wrong about the team believing...

I mean, I'm optimistic. Tua is very efficient and generally makes smart decisions in a hurry. Maybe that's enough, maybe not. The biggest thing...

Yes, but we couldn't go deep because of the time to pressure- Tua would have been hit when Parker was 10 yards downfield (and still blanketed in...

My wife and I are leaving out of Orlando, FL in 19 days, 21 hours and 18 minutes for a 7-day Carnival cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and two other...

I agree there, a lot of teams are built to win shootouts from elite QB play. And that's awesome when you have a guy like that, but it's equally...

I don't think that's completely true, but that's ultimately the point I was trying to make anyway. Knock Tannehill all you want, but that team's...

Hey, I'm trying to be as honest as possible in these conversations. I don't see a bad QB in Tua and I don't see a great one either. But I do see...

I disagree- Tua lost what, one game in college? Two? And you're right, Alabama was a powerhouse that rolled over people. It wasn't all Tua...

Makes sense, but remember two things: 1) Grier is not Tua. Tua is not Grier. Don't hold one accountable for the other's actions. 2) Grier...

It also translates to a lot of dropped passes. Just look at Cutler, who probably had the most velocity ever. He had a 61% completion percentage...

Personally, I do not want Brady. I didn't want DeShaun, Aaron, Russell and many other highly prized free agent QB's either (except Peyton...but...

I voted the middle option but it didn't really capture how I feel. Brady for one year? Sure, let's make a run. But then what? Do we trade Tua,...

I posted this in another thread here. Like I said, I have no idea if there's any truth there or not. But there are a lot of details that would...

Yeah, it definitely doesn't feel like 9-8 is in the cards....we'll go extreme one way or the other.

It's sorta-kinda true. From what I read, Brady wanted to come on as an office executive and run the team, eventually owning the team. Rumors are...

It's so silly that signing bonuses don't count against the cap the same way as salaries do. Why not just convert everyone you're definitely...

Same here. I'd add Jones to that list as well since the defense depends on those two shut-down corners. Anyone else though? Well, Waddle and...

Yeah, I think a lot of people overlook that. The "R" comes first in RPO for a reason. If you can't run the ball, then there's really no "O" in...

This article may shine some light on that- it sounds like we're not interested in Brady at quarterback. It sounds like the plan was to get him in...

I really hope this isn't true- I don't want any quarterback for a one-season run, only to see them retire afterwards. If the front office isn't...

Tua did have the highest completion percentage of deep passes in the NFL last year, just FYI. That doesn't mean he's a deep-throwing QB....it...

I don't think he'll be dominant at RT this year, but a new scheme, better coaches and better linemen around him all help. It will also help that...

Good, get him a bus ticket! Williams has just as much upside and just as much ability to get hurt- we don't need both!

If my math is right, that was only 49 yards in the air. LOL, sorry, had to say that.

LMAO, good stuff! Those punk *** anonymous sources....

"Yeah, he a penguin!" Cracked me up. Tyreek mentoring Waddle is practically a dream come true for this organization. So excited!

Fun little watch! [MEDIA]

I mean, Tua was a hair below average last season but folks also have to realize that he was getting the ball out in 1.5 seconds. That's blazing...

I've heard that Flores was denied several of the upgrades (coaching/players) that's been granted to this new coaching staff, and it probably dates...

LOL, I take it in stride. If they stink, then so be it. But I do have a really good feeling that everything will finally click.

Usually I'd agree, but how do you cover Hill and Waddle with them on two different sides of the field? Screen passes are going to go for TD's on...

No way Waddle is a 4.37. He's way faster than that since his acceleration is INSTANT. I'd almost guess he's the fastest of the three. And...

Oh, that's fantastic then! I must have read it wrong- that would be worth watching.

Really...I don't get it. Even if it doesn't work out long-term, we're loading up for a dominant year. There's a lot to be excited about at the...

Holy (you know what) guys, we're gearing up for a Super Bowl run! Crazy unexpected trade but I love it! [MEDIA]

It's a double-edged sword. Do you want a player who takes plays off, focuses on being safe and gives minimal effort? That guy won't be on IR...

I watched some more film on Armstead last night...not highlights but just a 10-15 minute few clips from random games over the past few years....

Personally, I think it's a bad idea since it opens the door for injury. I can see why you'd want to check some metrics- has your players grown...

I think people are nervous because we lost Flores and we may not be running the cover zero without him there. It was almost two different...

I depends on the no-name receivers we signed. Maybe they're twitchy, get open fast kind of guys...I have no idea. But we don't need flashy, we...

I completely agree with everything you said. Draft a center, switch to a power offense and hope the D/special teams doesn't slide too much....

It's way too early for this, but I'll guess 13-4, 5-1 in division, 1st place in the AFC East, and in the AFC Conference championship. Bonus...

Is Wilson still top-5 though? I mean, I'd never count him out, but to me he's not the same guy that he was 5 years ago. Poor dude has been...

Is that a QB? Sadly I have no idea.

I disagree- there's still 4 division champs and 3 wild cards regardless. Miami is still the 2nd best team in the division, the Chiefs are still...

Just watched his highlights....we really, really want this giant of a man! It would change the offense day-one.

As I recapped in another post, I generally liked what I saw of him as a starting rookie. Part of the blame definitely falls on the team and the...

For line, it takes good players + good scheme + good coaching, and we haven't had that in decades. The coach with coke and hookers had us the...

I watched him some this weekend and he's a very good player. The penalties are frustrating, sure, but you guys have to realize that almost every...

One more thing on linemen and then I'll shut up. I've said over and over again that you practice thousands of snaps per week so you don't have to...

From what I saw, he looked the part and was moving correctly, good form on contact, getting in a position to win, etc. But he wasn't holding his...

I know I only played OG/C in high school and college, but I've never ever ever heard of this before. I did see both tackles extending their arms...

Towards the end of both seasons, the protection was better. Not great, but there were some series where they strung 5-7 good downs together to...

Oh man, that's crazy! I thought for sure he was making it up!

Do you live in Atlanta or in that area? My brother keeps telling me that there's a huge imbalance in men/women there. He says if you go to a any...

Eh, the Texans got worse, Cleveland got a little better...that's balanced out. The problem for us is Buffalo loading up for a championship run....

That's unbelievable. I bet they structured the contract that way expecting a possible suspension this season. It also lets them "load up" for...

I went to that Philly/Atlanta game when Vick returned home for the 1st time after the suspension (believe it or not, I worked as a freelance...

I agree completely. I hope he signed his contract already because if he hasn't, he's going to demand a trade. Rodgers is at the point in his...

Is that even legal without Ryan agreeing to it? Sounds fishy to me- employers can't just decide to pay you 4 days later and void it if they...

That's as awkward as can be. You have a lower-end franchise QB, try to snag an elite one, and now your franchise QB wants out. Miami made the...

Agreed. I love seeing the long pass or the gimmick busting wide open, but that's not sustainable. I prefer in your face, smash-mouth football...

Huh, you're the 3rd to say that in this thread. I don't think anyone would want to receive first in that scenario! Let the other team get the...

What the heck? NOOOO! He was our 2nd most productive receiver and a special teams BEAST! If he's getting a chance to start though, then I wish...

I always liked Henne; very cool he's still going strong. Never close to a tier 1 quarterback but he's always has a lot of fight in him. It's...

OMG, I hope they do that- it would be an epic commercial...have him selling it to the Patriots!

That's super tough. I heard Baker wouldn't be back last year but I don't know the story behind it. At least he went the classy route though and...

True, or unlimited 5 minute overtimes until someone wins. Plenty of room to get creative there.

Personally, I don't know why they don't go back to the old way- play 15 minutes and whoever has more points is the winner.

The two big things about this kid is that he's young and he showed a lot of growth across last season. Great technique as well and he has a very...

Preston got a one-year "show me" deal, and honestly I wouldn't care if we signed him to that the next 3 seasons. He either performs or he...

I have no problem with any of the home-grown talent we extended...that's what you are supposed to do so no complaints there. I also don't have a...

I don't think it's a bad deal- he still has massive upside and can't be covered 1:1. If we shore up the line and Tua has time to target those...

Sometimes it leaks that they were banned for pot, but most of the time it doesn't come out unless it is a repeat offense. Smoking weed is the...

Here's the thing about sports and injuries that the NFL doesn't tell you- there are thousands of players from previous generations that ended up...
