Philbin not get the message? On Tuesday, Philbin told reporters Jordan will be staying at defensive end. "We're going to utilize him as [a...

Sensitive are we? The "I'm an engineer" was to say I don't know squat about making football decisions so I'll stick to what I know. Have no idea...

No. It's this guy's fault....

Funny looking back Ireland was still GM in January. I also doubted we'd have a decent oline. Then we hire a new GM and its fricken Dennis Hickey...

Yes. Unfortunately his was worse.

Just felt good to be in a close game against a high-scoring team. I remember last year a lot of talk that we can't win if we can't consistently...

Not yet but he has youth to hopefully get better at it with a good team around him. Do you honestly think Wallace helps out TH by running routes...

2014. Better all around. 2008 Pennington had all the tools except the noodle arm. Sporano was HC.

Good point. I should have added that this year feels different and am gaining hope. I got lost in the dumping all blame on Thill and not seeing...

Not saying I'm sold but do teams lands good coordinators when the HC is terrible and on his last leg with a team? Good managers in every field are...

Say what you will but TH and Wallace just don't complement each other well. They are both inconsistent. Wallace in his route running and desire. I...

One of the three OG's still on the board at 63 and a trade down or back into the 3rd round.?.

It'll be tough. Shula set the bar pretty high.

Ouch. I never was that impressed with Brown's vision. Best thing might be he should improve the blitz pick up and seems have decent hands.

I'd think it'd have to be at $8mil wouldn't it?

Same here. Hope we get at least two oline options early in FA for draft flexibility.

No need to bring him into the post. He had his shot last year and was really awesome at it. As for Hickey, if we actually land 1/2 good oline...

If the reports are true and both AZ and MIA are looking somewhere other than Monroe for a FA LT, then I expect they believe he will stay with BAL...

I believe his deal was only 1 year thus making him a free agent.

isaako aaitui.?.

Patriots?

I can respect your opinion but like I said the truth always falls somewhere in between. I expect there are concerns by some GM candidates but...

All good points. In fact I live every day with a similar "son" dynamic. I still find it hard to believe Farmer turned down a second interview...

Help me understand the dysfunction because it seems fairly straightforward to me. Aponte reports to Hickey, correct? Dolphins structure:...

One of the last executives Parcells brought with him from Dallas is gone. I'm surprised more people aren't celebrating.

I read it, wasn't sure the point you were trying to make, and figured Marino was the only rational comparison on how again the Donkeys can help...

Your own post? Seriously though I don't get the infatuation many have with Dan running the Dolphins and expecting Elway's NFL success to translate...

Aren't you taking a shot at your own team Revis?

That would be so cool. :confused2:

Good article on all 32 power structures. Nine teams: HC reports to the GM Two teams (Cowboys and Bengals): HC reports to the owner who is also...

Armondo: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2014/01/source-hickey-hit-one-out-of-the-park.html Haven't seen much from anyone else....

Something happen to Idzik?

I'm old enough to have seen Dave kill two organizations in dramatic fashion. Not a big fan of Bayless but he fairly well sums up what I recall....

Big Ben led him too far with the forward lateral.

Interesting. I wondered last year if the coaches have been drilling him not to run in order to learn pocket discipline. I look back at RG3 and...

An example of bad sex?

I'm more tired of Patterson. He has looked great when he's on the field, which is hardly ever. Story of his career. Not sure his 2/3 great games...

I thought Wallace ran a 2 yard slant (maybe crossing). Unfortunately it was 3rd and 19 and we had no mismatch. :sad:

Not to get off subject but maybe this applies to Wallace and your comment as well. I've watched a couple Carolina games and Ginn actually looks...

No offense and I agree with a lot of your opinions but there are enough lemmings with 2 digit IQ's on both sides of the aisle to elect someone...

Exactly. Should have put I was being sarcastic.

I believe Glazer said he has all 1,100 texts.?.

Again I'm not for or against and suggested I have not seen enough in 18 months. As for Ireland, if he goes, again not an NFL expert, but so does...

Thanks for sharing. Love this quote, Welcome to the jungle! Problem is I'm not sure many in the media ever played football (excluding...

I'm with them on the patience but boy he tries that patience when he can't pick Oline to save his life outside of the 1st round.

I'm not experienced enough in the NFL workings to know whether Philbin can cut it or not just yet. What concerns me is new HC's usually bring in...

Did great with the defense. Not offense but maybe because he had one foot out the door towards retirement and fishing.

Didn't he bring in Cam?

Agreed and I believe they knew something. Just saying I believe this and probably far worse go on in every locker room but never gets out....

Not that I'm sold on Ireland but old enough to remember why we first got Shula from the Colts and what we've had since we kicked him out the door....

Hanging out with Randy Mueller?

No doubt we would. Probably could be said about several teams. Just think about the patriots secrets with Hernandez and spygate. You won't...

According to his agent Martin was terrorized for 1-1/2 years. Long was here for one of those years. Not saying Long was or wasn't a great leader,...

Insert Jets...Sanchez troll.

For those who saw the play since I missed it. Wondering if Wallace was close to the boundary and possibly got pushed out of bounds per RT's press...

Really? I always thought that was reserved for Wanny, Mueller and Saban. At least I thought Wanny and Saban had final say.

Agreed. Don't know why but for some reason I envision Gibson being used in a couple ways/plays similar to Keller.

As Boilermakers we know all too well about tempered expectations then. :knucks:

The team is about where I expected them to be. One of the youngest in the league and one that will have growing pains. A 2nd year, 1st time HC...

No worries. I'm with you on the team thing but the Phins have certainly shown the value of a good QB and coach since the turn of the century....

I believe you read too much into my post. My suggestion was that Miami hopefully now has a QB that can play well and in doing so help the team...

The hope is a he!! of a good rivalry over the next few years while Tannehill grows up and Brady grows old. And the Jills and Jests continue to suck.

And he wasn't too shabby in the 3-4 before that either.

I figure anything above about 750 and 6 from my fellow Boilermaker is gravy. What did Fasano have last year 400 and 4?

Yep. Double the chances in the red zone this year while keeping the same TD success rate and same # of interceptions (13?). Consistency driving...

D gotta flash a few 4th qtr stands or game winners this year to get on Sportscenter or NFLN. Been too few and far between. Here's hoping we...

I couldn't recall any recent ones for good reason: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/431194-the-best-nfl-defensive-unit-nicknames/page/7 I never...

So true. Kung Fu Theater, Sundays at noon, morning after a bender, 1985.

See you beat me to it. :yes:

Pouncey bonus link is a nice piece. I especially liked the Wilfork quotes on Pouncy....

You forget to mention the great Bobby Carpenter?

Very possible. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/03/kearse_woes_nfl_scouts.html

Beat me to it MC.

Not sure they panicked but there was a run on RB's before the Phins 3rd round pick which probably caused them to move up. The Pats took two RB's...

Only if he comes as a package deal with TO and Moss.

The media makes it seem they are only scouting Locker which I find hard to believe. I would think they have already scouted and reviewed film on...

Fist pumps would not exist without carpenter.

Thanks for the input. I thought about FA, UDFA and player trades but didn't have the time to sift through them all. I would think that would tend...

The biggest mistfortune for Ireland IMO was going 11-5 instead of 3-13 the first year. I believe that set unreal expectations and caused us to...

Sweet roughing!!!

Hard to believe his contract is up after SB. Wonder if he leaves ****zburgh?

They only had 7 total playoff games prior to last season I believe.

Good question and one of my biggest concerns as I have yet to see a leader step up. The guys I believe that have the combination of talent, work...

?????

We also couldn't effectively run the ball on 2nd and 10 after a long shot and still gain 5 yards or more to put it in 3rd and managable. The Jets...

Schedule and injuries. Couldn't the same be said for us this year?

It's not always philosophy but execution. WC, spread, run first and 2-TE has all won SB's in recent memory. Heck even the Ravens won with FG...

So we want an explosive offense but yet we're willing to settle for VY? Averages out of 39 starts and 54 games played in 5 years: 150Yds/G, 42...

A couple of these Gruden QBs are probably still available: Brad Johnson, Brian Griese, Luke McCown, Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski, Tim Rattay or...

Thanks and you make some good points. I like how innovative Nolan is I just don't know about his management abilities and did not follow the 49er...

Yep forgot Soliai was year 4. Did I say studs or a nice base? Who did we have playing after 1-15 season with no account for IR, retirees or FA's?...

I would never compare the two because we only have two seasons to go by with Sparano and don't believe he has the same creativity but the same was...

Long, Bess, Hartline, Marshall, Carpenter, Davis, Wake, Dansby, Misi, Soliai, Langford, Starks??? Just named at least half the team that he had a...

Agreed. Good coach with no GM experience. How'd that work for Seattle? Eagles still not there yet with Reed.

Oh, Bernie Madoff. I don't see the resemblance. Parcells reminds me of a guy that takes pleasure in resurrecting a team (or company) that is...

Not sure the fans would give him 13 years to win a SB in Miami like he had with the Steelers. Also, not sure how he would do with personnel...

Who is "Miedoff" and his relationship to Parcells?

Looking doubtful that Henne is the answer but he is what he is, a #58 pick. I'd guess from that position in the draft franchise QB's are found...

Yep, a shame with the way Berry and Thomas seem to be playing this year as well. And considering odrick's unfortunate injury. I guess the good...

It has been nice not having 2-3 long TD's every game like last year. Have to Give Nolan props as well. As CK mentioned, it really is evident how...

You evidently have a longer history with him than I. I agree his hands do look like JA out there.

I don't disagree and we may need an upgrade. However somewhat in his defense, typically when a 2nd year 5th round pick has to start at FS he has...

Similar to how I feel when trying to figure out if Henne has any future here but our running game isn't even good enough for the Jills to fear....

Was he refering to today's game or one of the other 6?

Is it feasible to fake PA hand off with an empty hand? I seem to remember someone with this style. Maybe not as convincing but just thinking out...

Don't completely disagree, but would you believe that through 6 games Sanchez has only one more touchdown throw than Henne (1100yds/9TD v....

good call

Thanks for the kind words. I know I've learned a lot from all the great posters on the board. You're right it was pretty vanilla. With all the...

Not a great game evaluator, writer (engineer) or poster but after getting free lower level seats for the game I was pumped up and figured I'd...

Cory Lekkerkerker on the team last year???

Yep, slot was the first thing that came to mind. Don't know much about him but its nice seeing someone catch the ball with his hands instead of...
