Mueller definitely blew it via non-draft maneuvers. As much as I like Satele, I'll always link him to the Welker situation, which has the...

Exactly. I like Booker but the overstatement on this board is comical. Particularly the comparisons to Reggie Bush. Bush's stock is down right...

Colts are at a massive disadvantage playing that game on the road. I'm referring to the Fury of Anti-Revenge angle that will dramatically favor...

Yeah, that reminded me of a picture of Nicole Voss of Playboy about 18 months ago. I guess I better not link to it. :lol:

I completely agree. When I got to Miami in August two of the hyped rookies were Mormino and Wright. Then I watched the exhibition games and...

I didn't like the obscure blurb in a Herald article on Monday, that Allen was still celebrating his INT after the game. Wonderful, after a...

Plenty of good summations in this thread. I focus on center play and Satele is our best in a long, long time. He's quick and athletic with a...

I agree with your summary. Cameron was scorched in the Herald today, two columns basically calling him a weakling and a buffoon. When the local...

I remember when he said that and he was absolutely correct. It shouldn't even be controversial. You aren't top 3 anything when you get only 17...

You can see how Daniels would be a frustration for a coaching staff. He looks the part and has basic coverage skills and enough speed, but that's...

LOL. You've got it completely reversed. Parcells didn't insist on modernized garbage. He restored the old vintage Jets appearance from their Super...

BTW, smart move by Walker to stick with the 4th string QB rather than the run oriented 3rd stringer who started. I doubt UCLA would have been as...

I don't know about young blood. UCLA was a veteran team particularly on defense. There is some young talent but next season UCLA figures to take a...

The OL was never a bright spot. It's a comparative lesser weakness. I really hope some of these threads are referred to once we actually have a...

I think you and I are alone on that. Last year with the good WRs he had excellent YPPA, 8.6, then it naturally dropped this year when they were...

I saw that play by Daniels. We seem to lead the league in senseless taunts. He never finds the ball but has no trouble taunting fans after an...

You have to ignore the 2nd half in a game like this. The announcers made far too much of NE not scoring in the second half. The overwhelming...

His instincts and ball hawking skills aren't the greatest. That's what I noticed at Tennessee and I doubt it will ever change. All the talk about...

I love how Villanova over Georgetown always makes lists like that. A whopping 8.5 point underdog. That was my first year in Las Vegas and none of...

I agree with your assessment. And I have a feeling Parcells will also. The line hardly strikes me as exceptional and I think there will be more...

Getting rid of Saban was the turning point. You don't want a lowlife running the franchise, regardless of record. 0-13 was not as embarrassing as...

You didn't get enough if you took 10/1. Trust me, that's lousy value. You're much better off taking the 22 points. The idea should be to make...

The best year will be the media covering the team. With Parcells you've got a high profile reference point. Everything that goes right or wrong...

The Sun-Sentinel says the man claims it happened over a 5-year period beginning in '77, including being taken to games and introduced to players....

Ginn can run right past the best CBs and scare the life out of a defense. That will be a constant as long as he's in his prime, and no way I'm...

A guy like Jaworski is going to default to his pre-draft evaluation of Beck. And that's only proper. He uses a set of priorities in evaluating a...

Anyone beating NE is the priority for me. I've been scared of their unbeaten prospects beginning with the opener against the Jets. You don't...

Here's a thing I forgot to mention about Dolphin Stadium. An opposing team flies into Miami International. The heart of the major city is right...

Skip Bayless is an unfortunate case because now he's a TV buffoon, but at one point he was a very talented sportswriter. I'm referring...

Jim Rome never threatens an opinion that is remotely unique or clever. His non-talent is abrasively overstating the obvious. So naturally he's...

Situational evaluation is not a strength among sports fans. That screams from message boards, and conversation in general. Admittedly, I didn't...

There's a reason it's ideal for neutral site games. Let's just put it this way, when I'm watching all the games simultaneously in Las Vegas,...

I absolutely agree with that. IMO, Dorsey would be wasted anywhere but 4-3 DT. Even if he played well in a 3-4 you'd be kidding yourself if you...

The low delivery point is easily the worst flaw with Beck. Along with passes batted down and lessened velocity, it also limits the variety of loft...

From that Herald article: "The negotiations have been on-going between Parcells' agent, Jimmy Sexton, and Miami owner Wayne Huizenga throughout...

Don't be so sure. Parcells has always said there are only so many talented big guys on the planet. I remember when he was critiquing the '01 Canes...

No kidding. That's certainly the way I would wager, if I'm allowed an ironic attachment. Fans thrill to latch onto the Hollywood angle, the one...

I think that's logical. Fans would have demanded change after a disastrous season like this, and Parcells at the top is enough of a change....

That's absolutely correct, and very astute. Give me early evaluation almost every time, above overreaction to recency. The only exceptions can...

Okay, I continued reading the thread and noticed that someone else pointed out that Cameron was still at Indiana in '01. I would have softened the...

Well, I'm obviously certified nuts because I distinctly remember betting on and against Cam Cameron frequently at Indiana in 2001, months after...

I didn't see any QB with top pick ability. Not even close. Ryan and Brohm are somewhat limited athletically and neither one has a great arm. I'd...

Gad, I'm just thinking where I would be financially minus Apple. I began loading up on their stock just at the time Dell thought the company...

Well, my situation is admittedly somewhat different because I'm old enough to remember the '72 team, in fact a season ticket holder for the first...

I agree, it's mostly a nonsense argument. The question is whether the players lost were high caliber, players who changed the overall level of the...

Uh, allow me one Reggie Bush and you guys can have 20 Lorenzo Bookers. Classic overreaction. Booker has nice skills as a jitterbug but Bush is...

I'd feel a billion times better with a Pats loss than today's Dolphin win. That being said, at least Miami's win today gives the team the energy...

It was a great day because you don't need that 0-16 stench. I was as relieved as anyone. But that was a horrible opponent reeling off 7 losses...

This is what annoyed me about the game; Cam's post game press conference. "I knew THIS day would come..." I couldn't believe what I was hearing....

It's hardly all about technique. I watched Soliai every snap he was on the field in preseason and he didn't flash special ability. Sure, he can...

No kidding. And look at the supportive evidence, or lack thereof. Huizenga reportedly liked and respected Saban, and urged him to stay. If that's...

I just wonder if the reaction was the same when Caddy got hurt this season, a few weeks before Ronnie. I'd almost love to bet some of the same...

A franchise is exponentially more interesting if it has an involved owner. I should have emphasized that in my previous posts. No guarantee you're...

I would rather have a defensive guy. Defensive coaches are more likely to understand the critical balance of each side of the ball. They run the...

The most vital aspects for postseason success are pass offense and pass defense. That's what fans and analysts were overlooking last season when...

You're really flailing here. Jerry Jones hired Jimmy Johnson. Newsflash: that's a part of his legacy. He hired a young vibrant Johnson who was...

No kidding. I almost busted up and hit the floor in a seizure of laughter when someone tried to knock Jerry Jones. Frankly, I think that...

Hard to be disappointed when I never expected much to begin with. I still remember the bowl game against Iowa when he's celebrating after a tackle...

Miami won 9 games in '05, then 6 games in '06. In the vast majority of cases, an improvement or decline by 3 games or more is followed by a...

Stockdale was also famous as Ross Perot's running mate in '92. He was the VP candidate who admittedly was "out of ammo" and felt like he was "in a...

USC But I've always been more of a Canes fan

I'll be shocked it we get more than a 3rd. In fact, I was thinking 4th before I saw all the discussion about a #2.

I agree and I don't think many fans realize how lousy the conditions are supposed to be in Foxboro this week. The total on the game keeps...

We didn't need to make a trade that was great for NE. As soon as they got Welker I posted on a couple of sites that it meant Thanksgiving was the...

Now that's a funny headline. Seems to me our only tough roster decisions are who to get rid of first.

If that's true it screams to the incompetence of this organization. Spielman was given years despite demonstrating time and again that he was...

I was opposed to Trent Green if it cost us a pick. For free I would have taken a chance on him. But an older QB who slides dramatically one season...

I don't think he's natural with his hands while making the catch. When we drafted him I looked at my Senior Bowl tape and he had odd tendencies,...

That stinks. I thought Finheaven was considered the top Dolphin site, and therefore shouldn't be concerned about similar brands and whether they...

I expected a thumping from the Jets and especially the Bills, so I probably wasn't as focused on the ball security issues. This may sound...

That's the only unexpected negative I've seen. Rookie QBs on lousy teams are a notorious disaster. That's well known here in Las Vegas but I...

The number was never 27. I've seen that posted on many sites and I have no idea where it came from. Maybe Danny Sheridan or some other tout...

Sorry but I won't budge. White on white with a simple logo is by far our best and most classy design. The aqua tops are fine for late season or...

I guess I'm in the minority but I understood the move. I tried to like Brady Quinn but the more I looked at tapes I had approaching the draft, the...

Please don't tell me we're switching to some modern garbage. The simple designs and simple logos are so far superior to the new stuff. It's like...

He's the guy I wanted for the Canes job last year. IMO, he's got Pete Carroll potential as a college coach but he's been too stubborn to realize...

I don't pretend to know what the decision will be regarding Cam. Like you, he was my top choice among the finalists last year, but the lot was...

He definitely has an excellent rapport with the players. That's what impressed me immediately. He wasn't screaming at them in a stressful...

That's a very intriguing name. Almost every summer I spend a few weeks at Saratoga and attend Giants camp in Albany. Last summer they screwed up...

Here's my very simplistic summary: We lack wired explosive athletes. That's what I notice every Sunday when watching the Dolphin game side by side...

This was a no chance game. I think I posted it here last week that I had no faith in the Steelers. Reminded me of '05, when Pittsburgh was touted...

Good no nonsense RB. Today he reminded me a bit of Leroy Harris, who old time Dolphin fans might remember from the late '70s. Not as stocky as...

A #2 wasn't terrible value for Welker. Trade him to anyone else and it's fine. The enormous idiocy was giving NE the vital missing piece. Based...

I really despise that guy after calling the desperate time out. That's my only opinion of Rex Ryan, and it will never change if NE manages 19-0....

I almost think it would be amusing. Every year when a team started out 0-6 or 6-0, or whatever, there would be jokes about emulating the '72...

You don't want to use gross passing yards to measure pass offense or pass defense. YPPA is much more relevant. And Miami darn sure isn't #3 in...

Exactly. I generally throw them out if they are poor. But if you find a rookie who gets it immediately with excellent stats, that tends to hold...

Good summary. And I hope that's the accepted consensus now on Finheaven. Before I stopped posting regularly I remember some nonsense that Crowder...

Not a valid comparison. Those teams were expected to be abysmal, for the most part. I distinctly remember the '89 Cowboys being compared to a high...

Wilfork played too fat at Miami. He was in the 345-350 range his final two seasons and that really cut back on his disruptive ability in the 4-3,...

I'm one of the few who voted Pats lose in regular season, then win the Super Bowl. First of all, a Dolphin win is relatively meaningless. Other...

I don't pretend to follow the prospects as closely as I once did. But I certainly watch tons of college football and McFadden has never blown me...

Miami needs to survive the beginning of the game. Buffalo figures to be in a frenzy, by far the most energy any opponent has had since Beck became...

Very good summary on Schottenheimer. I've never seen anyone who so consistently outperformed his team's statistical blueprint. It's absolutely...

Very good post. Taylor's trade value would be stunningly low. Much better to keep him. I like the list. Nothing cleanses a defense like...

I forgot to mention that I watched the game in a Las Vegas sportsbook and the one thing no one was saying was the game was fixed. It wasn't even...

I enjoy the main boards, on every site. Not even close. There is no way I would pay as much as 5 cents for a so-called premium membership. That's...

Easily the most frustrating game ever, in terms of rooting for a late season unbeaten to fail. Normally you get breaks late in those games, like...

We have more of a chance against the Ravens and Bengals. That was my opinion before the Jets game. I still have no idea how Miami was favored...

That's been discussed here in Las Vegas. 0-16 is theoretically more difficult. A team on a roll like the Patriots will be huge favorites every...

Well, if it's LSU vs. Ohio State there are several statistical measures that point to Ohio State as the likely champion. For one thing, the...

We had a TE. His name was Donald Lee. I was posting regularly on Finheaven at that point and there was a clear divide. The posters who saw the...

I just wanted Garrett to stay somewhere in Miami. There were brief reports he would become OC of the Canes. With a guy like that you need to be...

My problem with Fields is he looks like a heavy legged plodder. That's not ideal in a punter. You want someone nimble and quick, to adjust when...

I understand what you are saying. I know I would feel more comfortable if we were a small underdog. For one thing, I see situations like this...

I would have kicked. As a coach you've got to realize that the field position criteria changes dramatically in a game like that. The only...

Well, I started posting on political sites and sports betting and true crime sites when I was so disgusted with Saban. In nearly 40 years he's the...

Very, very sad. I was just going to sleep and thought I'd check on a hopefully positive update. Instead, the worst news.

He's already too low with the delivery on many throws. I saw a bit of that at BYU but it seems to be more pronounced now, and more sidearmed...

I tried to post on Canesheaven for the first time in a while and got a "Does Not Exist" message, or something like that. Then I saw the splash...
