Separate names with a comma.
A lot of valid points. I'm not 100% comfortable with everything but it's a good team. I agree that arguing over who we've beat is silly. We...
I want to see Tuaman have that fire in his eyes. He doesn't always have that. First game against the Chargers he did. Obviously against the...
I'm reading one Bills defender was asked how to slow down our offense, and he answered with one word "Physical". They're going to focus on being...
Good stuff... been a long time! I hope everyone is good. I'm psyched out of my mind for this team!
More specifically I would wager that being the offense is what it is and the huge Mike Martz influence, I see Gase using Drake everywhere like...
Very good, well-thought article, and beautifully articulated. I agree on all fronts. I'm not into college ball, so I don't start looking at...
Great insight! Thanks for the updates!
Gesicki is a Jimmy Graham/Greg Olsen type of player. I'll take that any day! Maybe move the LB's around a little and sub-packages including...
I always wished we had Greg Olsen, and this guy is his younger clone! Really excited about this pick!
Ain't happening... He is the "Fire" or "Juice" on offense......
On a positive note... Wake looked good. Branch looked good. Timmons was pretty solid. Kiko is good to go. Hull wasn't bad but I'm starting to...
New year and a renewed sense of optimism. If Tanny stays healthy he'll do well! If DeVante develops it will be a blessing. If the Oline and the...
I remember one running play in particular where he ran him down and tackled the guy for a 2-yard gain. It was a great tackle. Love Hawk. He'd...
Awesomesauce!!!!
That's what I've been saying since the draft! Use him like the Saints used Sproles... Screens, reverses and quick stuff to get him in the open.
Let's not forget that these guys aren't running schemes either. How do players look at preseason? How much stock? How hard do they play?...
For me being a rocker, and Dolphins fan... this is the coolest stadium name ever! But an easy target as well.
I think Ajayi/Drake combo is gonna be good, and above average. Not to mention the screen game of Drake/Landry/Carroo should be scary! As far as...
I'm hopeful and inspired by the fact that he is BY FAR the best QB we've had since Marino... It is really hard to find a good QB, who can last a...
YEEEEESS!!!!! Strengthen that D.... THAT is a good start.
Such pessimists around here... lol! I am going to stay positive despite anything. I'm changing my answer to 12-4. 6. Packers W 3-2 7....
Here's a closer look at Tanny's decisions on the sacks against KC....
I am so sick of the whining on here honestly. I feel better about the game after watching this. Sure, he left some plays out there, but his...
Well let him shade the RB then, because watching EJ's highlights he definitely is a checkdown guy. He threw a LOT to the RB's... I was...
Nice! I agree, I think Knowshon will show up in a big way, and he seems to really be showing Lamar how it's done in a way that seemed to rub off....
Watch the bottom of the screen on NFLN. All teams look about the same injury-wise. Knowshon was limited with a shoulder too, but I don't expect...
Here is how the Dolphins are going to win. 1. Misdirection - People moving around, Clay, Gibson etc. Not to mention a few timely screens. 2....
That is because I'm not sure Wallace IS trustworthy. He can't catch with his hands, his fingers don't seem to work. I did like Wallace's game...
Tanny is gonna have a monster year! I voted for him. Wallace and Sims both dropped would be TD's. The INT was one of a couple poor throws.
How about McCain, Jordan, and Misi as the starters in a few weeks??? That could be REALLY good. Groom Tripp to take over for Misi.
Hate: JETS, Jags (I've held a grudge against them since the Marino/JJ game) Dislike: Bucs, Bills, Patriots, Steelers, Ravens Respect:...
Couldn't agree more. I see Tripp winning out the Mike at some point though. The two of them just get it, and its evident. Wilson at S is scary...
I was wondering the same thing... If so, let Jones get some competition, after his 4 weeks of stupidity suspension.
I'll go 10-6. I would love to see the Dolphins go undefeated at Home. Just that would make my season. That is what the good teams used to do....
My version - REVISION QB - 2 Tannehill Moore RB - 4 or possibly 5 Miller Moreno Gillislee or Thigpen (I like Thiggy's...
That's cool, though like I said with Layne Staley. They really should've went with a new band name without him. Jerry does the majority of...
Well last day of camp today, and Tripp was OLB on 2nd string... if that means anything.
AIC (Layne Staley days), and LB talk... two of my favorite things! Tripp seems to have good instincts, and he is faster than Trusnik, not that...
Just do a Reply With Quote, and edit. No reason to rewrite the whole roster! I made several changes.
This is the deepest we've been at WR since I've been a fan. RB's are good too!
Nice read! Can't wait for tomorrow night!
Loved this part most...
Nice to hear that he has attention to detail. Omar had some good things to say about Colledge, how he was the only one to keep Starks in check....
May the God of abundant grace give you and your family peace in this time of mourning.
That sounds more like it! Most think too small around here. I'm thinking definite playoff year! The O is LOADED with talent, and should give us...
Or maybe he does not plan to put the guy at center. Brenner or Garner or Smith are able as well.
That would definitely be a strange reunion. 2007 draft we LOADED up with Somoans (Satele, Soliai and Muaia), but in the end only Soliai stuck for...
Well I guess there is always that chance that Brenner could grow as well.
Interesting tidbit on PFT. Thoughts? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/25/andre-gurode-calls-dolphins-but-gets-voice-mail/
I think if Gibson doesn't come into camp healthy he is gonna have a hard time getting his job back. Matthews is on the upswing. That being said,...
I'd have to say Matthews is a lock as well. I can't see him going anywhere. Landry a lock, Hazel a lock as they were just drafted, and Binns as...
I say 11-5. Clay, and Wallace both go bigger than last year. Defense is stouter, and realize they are able to use press a little more. I kinda...
I'll go ahead and say it. I think it was a good pick, and not a reach. The guy is very durable, at 49 starts. He already plays RT, so there...
Well Jordan is the JT clone... now we just need the Zach clone, Chris Borland in the 2nd!
I'm betting that no matter who we sign there is competition at RB, with Miller retaining the #1 spot into TC. I'd like to sign Moreno and MJD on...
Playoffs A crushing Defense, top 5 run and pass Efficient offense with average of 27 points a game Is that too much?
LOL! Well it's only fair...
Yeah, maybe that would help? I'm sure someone will chime in on the coach... As for the lineup, that sounds pretty great to me! Binns was really...
They'd be stupid to fire Philbin. Coyle should go IMHO. His gameplan's the last 2 weeks were atrocious, and he had no adjustments. Not to...
Ryan's see snow, and he's seen rain... He's seen sunny skies in Miami that never end. He's seen lonely times when he couldn't find any good...
How could you not like RT??? Great kid. Seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. kind of a goofball, not super-serious. Brasfin - love...
Everyone overlooks RT's toughness too. The guy has taken a beating this year, and overcomes the pass rush. How many QB's have we had that...
Philbin said they put a 4-5 game package together, coupled with the last game we played them. I can't see them overlooking anything. We're gonna...
Sorry, but Wheeler is bad, but not Crowder bad. That guy was literally a push over. He just hasn't played good angles or adjusted well in pass...
I am quite proud of our young QB! He has all the intangibles, and he's getting better. I think he is the genuine article...
To me all he has done is out-play Jones all season, including tackling. Jones always seems to fall backwards this season... that is when he is...
Yeah... What he ^ said. Now, that being said, I'd honestly be happy with this team just making the playoffs and winning one game. That would...
Man... how did I forget about Binns??? We will be loaded next season. Imagine if we found a physical specimen like Gronk/Graham type to pair...
I have faith. I'd like to see a team come out like a few weeks ago against the Jets, and not play down to the competition. The Bills have a good...
Well if the Martin jersey goes missing, you'll know why...
I have an authentic aqua Zach jersey. Also an orange Ronnie Brown, and an old beat up Zach navy jersey. These days it gets harder and harder to...
Our guys know this is a very important game, and the last game of the regular season to show the Patsies a thing or two. This game is in Miami,...
I think the offense will do their part, we just need Coyle, and his guys to step up this game. If we're up by 30 mid-4th quarter I'll feel...
Yet they're still talking about the stupid play on nfl.com... I really want to see the D play more consistently, and better against the run....
Unfortunately true, but boy does Patterson make a difference when he is on the field!
Week 11: Carolina at Miami SOLUTIONS TO VICTORY! I haven’t done one of these for quite some time now, but I felt the itch this week. This...
I just believe we are playing the pass too well with Grimes and Patterson. I can envision Ginn being knocked off the LOS a LOT, and Olsen a lot...
1. We beat Indy 2. We beat Cincy The only way the Panthers win is with the running game. If we can stop the run, Grimes and Patterson are...
Exactly. Which shows that Wallace isn't running routes, he is improvising a broken play and using his speed to get open. Funny thing is......
So using this data (Great article ck), it would appear to me that: 1. Wallace doesn't run good routes. 2. Wallace does not know how to use his...
Blessings in disguise. I will be the first to say, Garner played better than Pouncey has all season. Brenner likewise. If they keep it going...
Here is why we are going to beat Carolina. 1. Cam has a penchant for a large head. I would believe he will have a swollen head in this game....
LOL! Cover up... I've had that surgery. Not supposed to be that bad, unless you have an infection. I did. I was in the hospital almost a week.
Sounds good to me! I'm ready for some football. I'm ready for a statement type game. That is some easy white-board material. Just WIN and...
VJax is a concern def. and Martin... They may try to run it 700 times, as bad as the run D has been.
Maybe ck can post us some stats...
Hard to argue. The guy has really stepped up this year!...
Didn't Incognito go out early last game anyway, and Garner play solid? More Egnew/Sims/Clay help to come!
We have a game Monday night against TB. Let us move past juvenile conversations, and instead move on to football! I personally think all of the...
I second that, and also contend... When did we football fans become a big group of gossiping wenches???? I come on here to talk football, yet on...
FINALLY! A conversation about football! We can't take anyone lightly.... Who will handle LG?
Is that Optimism??? HOW DARE YOU!!! LOL! (Sarcasm) I'm with you man.
A win puts us back above 500, and builds some serious confidence. Tannehill is only getting better. Clay has been a HUGE surprise with...
Even as bad as the OL has been playing, my biggest disappointment thus far is the DEFENSE! I was expecting a top 5 unit this season, and so far,...
Yeah, it makes sense to have Jenkins in on 3rd down, with DJ. Maybe even use this on running downs if there are any containment issues. Trusnik...
Miller is young though... he has time to develop blocking. I hope they've been working with him in the BYE. Part of his problem would appear...
I'm sure it will have a lot to do with Wake's health. If he is good to go I bet less blitzing. I'm so relieved Patterson is back this week, as...
Amen brother! And we need to dominate this game.
I wouldn't necessarily say a "must win", but it would make life easier. The fan base will def. be in uproar if they came down hear and beat us....
Jenkins has shown some descent wheels for Ellerbee. I hope Patterson and Soliai and in though! Glad to see Wake at practice.
To me, I'm hoping this all goes up on the cork board for the OL. If they are truly going to keep the same 5 this season, motivate them!
FYI - There should be no compliments to the New York Jets on this forum. BANS all around! :wink2:
I am encouraged after watching this. RT hasn't had any accuracy issues at all this season. And credit their gameplan... Time to squash some...
A lot of overreacting here. Long was replaced easily, and the line didn't allow a sack the whole first half in NO. I love Spitler. I could see...
A voice of reason...
I haven't seen one media pundit pick us this week. If Soliai and Wake play, the odds go up in our favor, and both made the trip. I have a good...
I won't temper my expectations for the pundits that call HOPE "unrealistic". Fact is, we started the season with two tough road victories, and...
Perfectly said ck... and that is an area I think RT has improved TREMENDOUSLY is ball placement. He is generally leading receivers up the field.
Tony Stark called me this morning. He said to me, "A football fan-base that fears playing football... Historically not awesome."
I hope for no more injuries for them or us... I would rather beat a team at their best! Hopefully Wake will be a surprise show, and isn't it...

Not at all! It's just fun when you're winning...
How about Pat Kirwan... DANG!...
Graham is good, but I'd worry about Colston just as much. I agree that if Wake was playing, that might be an option... Kinda funny too, the way...
Dolphins 31 Falcons 20 - Tough game, but the Dolphins come up strong at home. Offense gains run/pass balance, and the D stifles.
I say double Julio with Patterson and Clemons, and double Gonz with Reshod and 1 LB/S, take your chances and cover everyone else 1 on 1. Maybe...
At this rate Tanny won't make the season. HAVE to fix that or he'll be on IR. I think the OL will find there groove. After the BYE they have to...
I LOVE going to the circus...! I'd love to see the circus a 5-0 record would cause. Yes, I know that is crazy talk, but I would love to see it...
True jw3102... They've beat us up a couple times. Luckily that was a much different team. As dangerous as Julio is, I'm just as concerned about...
Amen brother raf... totally with you.
good question...
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000246527/article/the-quarterback-index-ryan-tannehill-rgiii-trend-up Hard to disagree. I hope he has an...
With Julio, Gonz, and White still in the game, we'll have our hands full. Hopefully Patterson can play this week. As for Carroll, I think he is...
I second that... LOL! What was with the shoulder bump? That was the worst attempt at a sack EVER!
THAT would be EPIC! Also, making the second round would be... If we make the playoffs, I'd be perfectly happy losing a close game in the first...
BUMP Fun thread...
Why not hope? Why not show enthusiasm? However optimistic or pessimistic we are, it has no outcome on the field... Keeping things in...
Although I know not everyone likes him, here is Peter King's take in MMQB:...
I think "wishful thinking" is a tad strong. I didn't say they had a great game, I just said that I think they handled some plays better than...
Jimmy Wilson on Wayne was scary... I definitely hope for a healthy Patterson. I'm with you guys saying this is a really tough matchup. They are...
Nice write-up. RT had a great game! I am sold on Tannehill....
And as I've been saying... Reggie already banged up. He isn't going to last the season. Ireland made the right call....
Even with growing pains, they made stops that Dansby, and what's-his-name could never seem to make. They had 26 tackles between them! I'd say...
Unfortunately the rings come first. McGinest has 3 SB rings. So does Bruschi, and I Harrison. Brooks with 1. Phil Simms used to call Zach the...
Luck-ily our D is faster than last year, and minus the always out of position Sean Smith. Luck is great in tight windows and making plays, but I...
2-0 going into our home opener with swagger! Crowd will be pumped. Man do I hope Vontae is covering Wallace... LOL! That would be great! Even...
Exactly! I think the Colts are in trouble, and once that happens and we're 2-0, some people, namely the Falcons, are gonna take note. I'm...
Nice writeup ck, and I always appreciate the stats. My take-aways from this game: 1. This D is as good as I thought they'd be. 2. Sherman...
True enough... And we really didn't have any game film on the D, other than preseason. It surely wasn't the fault of Miller or Thomas. Bush...
Uh.... yeah! Dude is a blazer! Bess has speed to burn. How would we catch him in the open field??? :chuckle: When we shutdown Richardson,...
No... you have it backwards. Tanny will have plenty of opportunities because the D will be great! The Offense will have the ball quicker, and a...
LOL! He isn't comparing our pass rush against the Browns is he??? That is just funny! I'm expecting a top 5 D out of Miami. Miller is gonna...
I don't know... I don't even know where Miller lost his hype. I thought he had a good preseason, with over 4 ypc. I thought he looked fast, and...
I LOVE IT! YOU go boy.... Warren must've REALLY liked what he saw when he went to Dolphins camp. Why can't most fans still out there neck like...
I always prefer being the underdog.... (Pun intended) Smack around a few dawgs and all of a sudden we look a little more legit.
It looks like a tough schedule on paper, but every year you see teams that hit a streak of games at the right time (cough,cough, Patsies) where...
10-6. Lamar Miller starts out fast, and our O starts to scare some people by midseason. Lose in the 2nd round of Playoffs.
Thanks Deej... trying to go with the clean look of the new uni/logo. True enough on Matthews. Tonight they'll be playing plenty.
53 Opinions Let's get the convo goin' on the final 53. For starters, I believe we should keep Spitler and Trusnik above all backups, unless...
I've said it once and I'll say it again... how did pessimism become the new realism? I believe we are going to have a good team. I believe we...
I'm not scared of Cleveland or the Colts, as a fan. As a matter of fact, I think we will be sitting at 2-0 in a few weeks. For one, our D is far...
I thought DT looked descent the first 3, but not in this game. Gray looked more like a consistent running back. Once Miller gets in a full game,...
DT had an awful game against TB. He was falling against arm tackles, and his vision was obviously blurry.
The offense opened quickly but as soon as they hit the red zone on that first drive it was all run... What was with that? Tried forcing the run...
Here is how I look at it. The preseason is important for many reasons: Evaluating talent, schemes, etc. The dubbed "dress-rehearsal game" is...
good stuff ck, as usual... I've always waited for Carroll to take a step up, great speed and pedigree. Maybe this is his year?
Okay... what is BR? I'd like to check out the article ck.
First I must say this preseason has looked much like I expected. We have a bunch of new players, and I think the offense is slowly finding its...
I am so sick of hearing people say that optimism is not realistic. Where does this negativism get such good publicity? The offense is better...
Well if you ladies are done... this sounds like the plot of a soap opera! Isn't this football? Isn't this the modern Gladiators? Lets see what...
Such pessimism here... 1-4, and superior teams based off of what? Last years records... Every year there are teams that are inconsistent. The...
I can see the waiver wire being very active for our O-line... Other than RG, I think camp is going well. About halfway through camp, and finding...
Nice call Sam... I mostly agree. People are underestimating Thigpen, the guy is going to be a utility player. He can play running back and...
WRDQ 27 as always in the Orlando area... They telecast Miami 4!!! Fun to watch. I agree guys, no dum mistakes. I'd like to see the O and D 1's...
Omar has never written or spoken anything that would lead me to believe he has a keen intellect on anything, let alone QB. The only reason I go...
and the answer is... They better not! Imagine the ridicule?
No... Actually up here in central FL you can see the game on WRDQ, 27, which is a sister-channel to WFTV ABC 9. They simulcast the CBS 4, Miami...
This may be obvious to say, but... I love seeing the improved secondary, and not because only does it strengthen our D, but it will also make RT3...
McNutt, Bumphis and Tyms, all seem a little slow. Is this true? I'm still pulling for JLane. I think he's a bruising receiver....
Agreed Raf... It also shows how things can look a bit off on TV, especially when things are moving along, and all the commentators are talking...
Let us hope that does not happen... Zach was twice the player Urlacher was.
Davis played better than either, and we just signed him! That was a plus. - Dallas Thomas at LT was a complete joke! In a bad way. - Lamar...
I trust Philbin to coach the players on the field. I also believe that his offense doesn't depend on any one piece. Why the emphasis on RB's...
FinsUp - I couldn't agree more... They need a little time. That is why Philbin wanted the extra game!
What about the development of Thigpin as a receiver? I don't really see a terrible need beyond three... Miller, Gillislee, Thomas, Thigpin,...
Drop Egnew, keep J-Train. If it comes to it. Regardless, one of them is going to NE. Wouldn't that suck if one of our TE's ended up helping...
Tough break... what about Stafford? Is he too raw? I would LOVE to see us pick up Stokely or someone comparable for quality depth.
No what will make the new uni/logo look MUCH better? WINNING!
Betcha practice is gonna go up a notch next week. Can't wait for the 4th! Looking at camp pics... Thiggy has gotten significantly bigger, wow!...
DJ - I thought the same thing when I saw that Odrick swim move yesterday! I think he's going to go beast-mode inside pass coverage this year! As...
I can't wait till Sunday, August 4th... say about 8pm on NBC! Then we can see the true developments of the team.
I have no problem with Prisco's article, he sounds like a professional, and thanks for the heads-up on the comparison ck. Omar on the other...
No, but this does... It goes on from there, with Kelly comparing Wallace unfavorably to Brandon Marshall's first days in Miami.
I guess. I always used Sun-Sentinel.com as my first resource for up to date news on the Dolphins, but I'm searching for replacements. If you...
If his excuse is a "Show me" attitude, does that constitute for CONSTANT negativity? I don't think this team has anything to prove to him. The...
WOW. Omar the Sniper makes NFL.com headline!...
Thank you man! I love the optimism... I say 10-12 wins. The thing I would love to emulate from the Packers is in the Favre hayday they were...
Yep. Add in the fast-paced practice which hopefully equals quicker execution during games, and that means shorter time blocking. I'm always an...
Pretty much the same article, but on nfl.com. Pair that with LT's comment, and WOW!
WOW! :up: Now that is some hype... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000217442/article/lamar-millers-speed-turning-heads-for-miami-dolphins
I will say this kid is going to be a star this year! Injury would be the only thing holding him back. There is something very symetrical about...
Some good points. To me though, I would rather beat the Patriots at their best then think we can take them down because they've weakened. I...

Top 5 in total D this year... Better in all phases, and clicking by the end of the year! PLUS, the offense will help the D rest with consistent...
Really good article! I've been on the bandwagon since I watched that Jon Gruden show on him last offseason. As long as he gets some descent...
Zach is da' man! As Phil Simms always said, "The smartest defender in the league." He compared him to Peyton Manning in football smarts. NOBODY...
I don't only think Spitler and Trusnik are safe, but I see them as valuable backups.
Zach for sure! Urlacher is half the LB Zach was... Still my favorite player ever.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the "Matt Moore" is an old school vampire... however, I do disagree on a few others. I think J "Train"...
Now that's what I'm talking about! We beat the Jets twice; Bills twice; Pats once and win the AFC East! 10-6 and playoffs. Dion Jordan wins...
Very nice! At first it made me miss Bess, then I started thinking about Wallace and his jets, and seeing him make a few of those catches,...
I have to say... I was a skeptic going in, and now. I really like everything about the new uniform! If I had one complaint I would just say not...
Thank you! :) That just made my day!
From what I've heard, I believe they said Albert lives in Miami, and had a physical last week? I'm in on Eifert... the stinkin' Jets have me...
No offense JT, but I hope the uni doesn't look like that... I don't like the white numbers on white jersey, the green gloves or the black cleats....
That is definitely blue, not black... so says a million-kajillion dollars.
Mike Mayock just made me a believer... He says Joeckel, Fisher, and Johnson all three are potential all pros with as much upside, if NOT MORE...
Seems to me that Philbin wants to build a morally-based roster built on mutual respect and hard work with a sense of thankfulness. I wouldn't...
That looks pretty good! My guess would be the logo will be a tad smaller though and a little higher...
Obviously you missed the Zach Attack of nearly 15 years! The Zach/Seau duo was my favorite ever, by far!
I am intrigued, but to me it would seem a better compliment to draft Patterson. We'd have a little bit of everything at WR then, speed, size,...
Lets not forget this is one more game guaranteed to be televised! Especially for those of us in the stinkin' Jags market...
Well the word I'm hearing is we'll be in the running for Dumervill if we didn't resign Long... Maybe snag Elvis and Winston, then draft a OT as...
Nice to see what Jeff Ireland is able to do with no handcuffs (money, management, and the draft). I have a feeling by June this team is going to...
If WE signed Pollard, with a legitimate D (as opposed to the Bills or Jets), the Patsies would be quaking in their boots! Dude is the Patriot...
I agree, though I have no idea who Kelce is... I don't watch college ball, so this time of year is catch up. Keller is a good solid TE. I...
How could we possibly need another TE, when we have the incomparible Michael Egnew on the roster??? Just doesn't make sense? LMBO! Grab Keller...
And what's with the 4 pm start of FA??? Is that to coincide with NFL Total Access @ 7? Maybe Wallace will give us a location discount... Well...
I think the FO is doing what it has to do, based off of the market... Agents yapping in Ireland's ear. He wants to keep what we need and move on...
Thanks for the logic Boomer! I'm very happy about the deal, as I think many will be. I think Sherman will make some nice adjustments as well.
Omar is already saying there is interest...
I'm for the Wallace/BH/DB and draft Patterson @ 12. Bess would flourish in the Pats offense as well, and I don't believe Welker has anything on Bess.
I hope we keep Jake, and feel the same. He should feel lucky to have landed such a HUGE contract, and now its all icing... Just sign and stay...
I for one, was thoroughly disappointed at SS24's play last year. After the Arizona game he just went down the tubes! Slow reaction time, and...
Well, it would match my Madden team then... I already have both! LOL! DO IT JEFF! That would surely sell some tickets too.
I didn't read through the whole thread, but just to throw in my two cents... I think the Dolphins would be crazy to let Fasano walk. He has...
CB - IMHO Sean Smith has gone from an up and comer to a complete liability. I thought he had the most horrible year I can remember at CB by a...
DISGUISE the CRAP out of our coverages (i.e. put everyone at the LOS) so Brady has no idea what is coming. Do WHATEVER it takes to get the run...
First, you should proof-read your post! Secondly, of course BB will attempt to stop the run... but will they succeed? Not just Reggie, but...
Exactly what I was saying.
Just as I said the other day... This game was on the front four. ZERO pressure on Luck for 99% of the game. I've also been preaching all season...
Well said Raf... I also believe that the second part to this is having the right type of people in the locker room. If BM or CJ or even VD are on...
I'll put the onus of this game squarely on the shoulders of the front 4. We've got a better D, so they need to play like it! Starks, Soliai,...
I LOVE seeing all the pessimism resurface... lol! But all it takes is a loss for it to come back. Let's go Dolphins!
I was optimistic about Tannehill halfway through that John Gruden ESPN breakdown show. Now we have an emerging passing game with Gaffney and...
I for one think Clemons has improved greatly this season! His coverage is better and tackling is MUCH improved.
I REALLY hope he plays... Most are more confident in Moore than I! He is good in the role of backup, and coming in if the team hasn't...
Matt Moore was serviceable, but nothing more. He had just enough good throws to get the job done, but I wouldn't want him to start! I was...
Well said... but once again, not a Hartline thread! I'd like to hear some game thoughts. I saw that all the love in that article on FOX Sports...
Okay, your point is made. On with the thread... This wasn't a Hartline thread anyway. I hope he has 20 catches for 500 yards and 30 TD's this week!
I don't know Raf, the dependable receivers don't disappear in games... Any predictions anyone?
AH! Jets week again... How I love to fantasize about the Dolphins blowing out this bitter rival. Firstly, this is something never mentioned....
Agreed. And as I say every season... If we're going to win any games, I hope it is at least against the Jets!
I voted NE, since it is likely, but I'm hoping for a tie! LOL!
I've been saying since the preseason that I could envision this being another season like 2008. The key difference being that we now have a real...
I think it is incredible how we won with a defense playing like UTTER garbage on Sunday! Sean Smith looked out of position MOST of the game to...
LOL! This whole thread is so out of whack... and hillarious! How about this possibility. People are not robots, and make mistakes that cost...
LOL! That is the coolest description ever! :punk:
Oh and sorry about the light blue around the graphics... I was at an alternative board, with that color way back.
This surely deserves its own thread. IMHO Zach Thomas is the greatest MLB to EVER play the game... and his bro JT, the greatest DE. These guys...
I'm loving the execution on 3rd down, and disguising coverages with blitz looks... If we can clean up the problem with screens, NE is goin' down!...
Just watched it... getting a little love! Previously they had hammered the Phins...
Uh... yeah! That would be the next step in the evolutionary chart for RT.
This wasn't intended to be a Hartline thread, though he merits it. I also believe that Philbin and Co. knew what they had in Hartline and Bess....
There are so many reasons to be excited! Tannehill is showing signs of being the QB we've been waiting for! The Defense... Hartline... JTrain......
Starks was a beast! Tannehill had a very solid game, with some very impressive throws! Unfortunately Charles Clay didn't catch a couple of...
I don't see it that way... I see the Bengals suffering our wrath after two weeks of OT losses. The Dolphins have some confidence going into this...
That is true... just ask Brian Hartline! I said Wait and See, but he already offers more than that Naanee piece of work. I was even behind...
The reason we lost the game is (as crazy as it sounds) because we didn't score enough points! Plenty of yards, but no points, thanks in part to...
Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or maybe Ireland is attempting to be frugal from year to year, knowing the season is long and things happen... People sure don't realize how hard...
Well if our wide receivers can focus on getting better, rather than the perspective of the media/fans, there is plenty of room for improvement....
OMG!!! I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS CONVERSATION IS OUT THERE ALREADY!!! Seriously... are the Dolphins fans this in need of drama??? WAY too early...
First off, I'd rather lose against anyone but the Jets. Philbin with the timeout was a standard play, but lost the game. Carpentar missing FG's...
I thought RT struggled at times, but he had no help. Armstrong with that BIG drop really made me angry! Hartline showed VERY little effort to me...
LOL! That is hillarious!
Thanks ck! Reminds me of all those great comedic articles Con used to do... I miss them. Let Dansby cover Keller. They are going to try to...
Yeah, and make sure he leads with his head! Move Hartline around this week... Slot and whatnot. Use the guy like a number 1! Lets get Reggie...
I am getting to the point where I can't stand the guy. He acts as though he hates the Dolphins! I say, get a new city Omar! Not only did he...
Yeah, well we better get that fixed long before we see the "screen kings" Patsies... which I'm sure they will. Great write up! This Jest week...
Yeah guys, I think the D should be as physical as possible. Shonn Greene had the head injury... help him out with that. I would also like to see...
I'm not sure why that would be headline worthy, but good on yah' Jeff! He handled that with class.
Definitely Miller, and they used Lane as the bowling ball at the end of the game. I must admit that Lane is the first FB I've been excited about...
Hillarious, but nah, that's why Armstrong didn't play yesterday... they wanted to save him and develop some chemistry, to unleash the speed on the...
LOL @Alex44... It also looks like he is swinging by an invisible spider web, spidey-style!
This will surely be a tough game! Our pass-D is pretty bad so far. Our pass-O is a W.I.P. Reggie is a BEAST! Sparano is a big asset to them,...
Good post! I've always let it be known that the constant negativity is rediculous IMHO. I think Hartline is going to have a HUGE year, and...
Not to mention he'd probably tear his rotator cuff in the first lesson...
I agree, and was wondering what SS24 was thinking by turning in instead of out!!! WTH was Jimmy Wilson doing covering AJohnson??? Lane is...
I hope Tanny has such a rediculously good game that the announcers are faulting the Texans rather than giving him credit, giving him a few more...
WOW! I can't wait to revisit this thread on Sunday, if the Dolphins pull out the upset... Just as the Texans did the first couple of times they...
I am happily optimistic after game 3 of the preseason when Atlanta only managed 3 field goals against our starting D! They have always ran over...
If Dave "Wannstache" and Jay Fiedler can be a playoff team, then why not this team? LOL!
I know the feeling... I haven't made any new sigs or wallpapers in quite some time.
Cool! Great to see some are definitely on the positive... Con - Good to see you! Haven't seen you around much, but then again, I have only been...
I'm a "glass is half-full" kind of guy anyway, but I believe there is plenty to be excited about! For one, Tannehill is BY FAR the best looking...
I support Ireland... oh and this team. I'm also excited about this season, whether that's a popular notion or not. If this team stays healthy,...
I say Ireland needs to sack up and talk to Arizona and trade for Fitzgerald... get him out of that offensive mess! Does AZ run a west coast?
Matt Moore for Megatron... that would be fair, right? :up:
Considering the first Sparano year we won the division, and with an accurate, albeit noodle-armed quarterback, and ground and pound offense;...
Not to sound cheesy here, but for all the logic in the world, and computations that one may formulate, you can't formulate heart, and desire....
I'm hoping for a Naanee/Wallace tandem to start on Friday. Put Wallace to the test! He had a good week 1 game... I've been pulling for him...
Thank you Lord that this is only the preseason! LOL! This D...
Just don't even get me started on the Stinkin' Jets! LOL! As for tonight, I REALLY hope Ryan starts!!! He has been consistent through...
I can't agree enough on Guyton ck... that guy was a liability the whole time he was in! Luckily it wasn't too long. I didn't really watch Martin...
A few quick observations... after watching the game, and rewatching the first half. 1. Tannehill is our starting QB. Sure he will likely...
Tanny throws SUCH a much better ball!
Okay, take Moore out!
Moore looks like crap so far...
MAN, I miss Zach more than any other player...
You beat me to it... LOL!
I'm always the optimist, but I'll have to agree with FinNasty, that even if he is ready, will the team around him be. That will be the biggest...
I think it is good... Everyone knows it is Johnson we wanted, and not Ocho. I also think he will turn some heads with his rededication to the...
After watching the interview, I thought Ireland seemed quite confident. I didn't see any "nervousness" when speaking on Tanny... quite the...
I think by the third game of the preseason we'll know if we have something or not. I wouldn't make any predictions of anything at this moment. I...
Sounds just about right to me! I second what MonstBlitz said... we were looking up in 2008. I believe the D is gonna be great this year, and the...
This is the result of a few OTA's we're talking about... not training camp. This might look completely different a month from now. How many...
Sorry if this has been said already, but a rookie head coach yes, but anyone remember Sparano's rookie season? He had a vet play solid at QB, and...
Totally agree! I actually laughed while I was watching that video a couple times... he was snapping db's ankles with the quick stops to grab the...
Nice job CK! I would've pictured you sounding like a gruff older guy though, lOL! Don't know why?
Sad. I'm having a really hard time buying the whole suicide thing though... but I'll guess the truth will come out if it was foul-play.
I never knew his name, but I saw him plenty. GOD bless him and his family! Let us reflect on this and know that this world is a temporary life;...
The scenario my brain is leaning towards is, R1 - take Kuechly at 8, then somehow trade back up into the second half (say 20-something) of the...
The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards wanting Kuechly. It would fill a big need, and watching the film was so much like...
I pray for you, and your family. You are walking with the hope that is given to us in Christ Jesus. Stay strong brother! DEUTERONOMY 31:6 Be...
Maybe Ross and Ireland viewed Manning too much of a risk, and to appease the fan base, scheduled a meeting with the coach. Maybe Philbin...
I can't believe everyone taking the media's sides! AND a couple players opinions who were KNOWN to be jackholes (Crowder and Porter)! Reading...
Could Ireland be stocking up for ammo to move up in the draft? Weirdness in Miami...
Yeah, that may be the only reason Nolan left mracer... I don't know what to think of any of the coaching stuff honestly. I'm feeling...
Meh. Did we really need another big moustache?
Well, my first book signing was amazing! I could not have scripted it better... Sold all the books I had for the event, and got some airtime on...
They should at least keep Nolan...
Here is the art blog for the artist who did the renderings for Marlsbeth, featuring characters from the book! Her other stunning work can be...
Hello All, hope everyone is well... Firstly, I can't remember the last time that football meant as little to me as this season. It was another...
Orange pants, navy jerseys, big clown shoes...
LOL! I'll do my best... I still look forward to the day when I get to go to a game with the phins bunch!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I'm finally ramping up PR and will be doing my first official book signing! A large and fitting event is taking place in the...
I say at least 7-9, and if we beat Dallas, I say we might roll to 9-7... I'd love to see the Dolphins become the Dilfer-led Ravens!
Unfortunate, but probably true... I haven't hardly even watched this season. May soon though, lol! I think the Dolphins win though!...
I'm dating myself here, but so fitting... How about Shonuff from the Last Dragon!!! LOL! Sorry no pic though.
Hello my fellow Dolphins enthusiasts! Well it has been a rough start to the year, but I'm sure the team will come around this week... Luckily...
HENNING was the problem, not Sparano or Ireland...
We must protect this house!
Well said...
I miss Ronnie and Ricky, but I'd say they atleast equal last year, with big plays instead of a pile of dust... CHUNK YARDS!
Great write DJ! I couldn't agree more... Of course I've remained on the Henne bandwagon, but I think he is turning a corner. If he can finish...
I'm receiving really good comments back! I still have yet to schedule a book signing, but everything is slowly building momentum. Come on now...
JT is still the man. He made a bad decision in going to the Jets, but we don't know what really happened upstairs either. I don't think Sparano...
Well, I've always been a Henne supporter and still am... But I guess the INT stats from last year ends the debate on whether he throws a...
GO HENNE! He will be good, just a sophomore slump... Oh and that old guy calling plays last year. Daboll shall allow Chad to RISE!!! Not to...
Thank you my good man...! As long as it's better than that bullcrap Jacksonville channel, we're good. I believe that is the Channel 4 feed from...
WOW! I can't believe all the negativity... Do any of you remember the team that beat the Jets for the AFC East title a couple years ago? This...
Watch for updates on the official Marlsbeth Facebook page! Posted a nice discount code from Barnes & Noble. Follow Marlsbeth on twitter...
I wouldn't say that... Look at a certain someone in the DC area. Who would've seen Beck progressing? I'm sure he'll have some boneheaded...
I hate what you did JT, but............. WELCOME HOME!!!
I'm still sticking with my prediction... Henne beats out whatever competition comes in, whether it be Orton or Moore or whoever. A year older...
Marlsbeth is ONLINE! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just got my website up and going...
May the LORD give you healing and strength Debby, through this recovery...
Yes it is... And I just got my copy today and I must say I'm even more excited now that I'm holding the finished product!
You guys rock! Thank you... I have worked on this for probably the last five years. Being that my publisher is a cross between self-publisher...
Thanks guys! Ohiophinphan - No book tour planned at this point, but I hope to do some book signings. Who knows, maybe I can work my way down...
Hi everyone, with the lockout and being busy I haven't had time to come on here lately, but I did want to make this announcement to all my friends...
I voted Ronnie and I'd like to see him back in Miami... That being said, I'm interested in DeAngelo Williams and Cedric too. If Ronnie could...
Let us not forget that Ronnie ran a 4.39... Ronnie is faster than Ricky or Ingram, has better hands and blocks better. I would prefer to resign...
I like Ingram but the more I look at him... He isn't that big, strong or fast. What exactly would he bring to the table that would entice...
Tough call... I love Ingram, although he doesn't have the kind of speed we need. With Ronnie coming back (I hope), we need that other guy to be...
I would have GLADLY ditched Crowder to get him! Oh well...
I'm for Henne and an eternal optimist. I believe Henne will take a step forward with this Daboll guy who hung around Brady for a while. Not only...
Congratulations man! I've been meaning to post on this... You're a class act and Rodgers is an awesome player! I was rooting for the...
I still think Henne has a good shot, but this is funny! Valkyrie was a great movie... I did see this used for something similar but the words...
I agree Silverphin, hopefully a well-thought scheme. And I see how it is, L2G and Gish get props but not a certain someone who made the...
That's what I heard... Also that he is more adept at running a Pats type of O. Sounds good to me! But then again, I'm always the optimist!
I'd love to get Mark Ingram! That would be awesome! I'd still have a hard time saying so long to Ronnie though. So long Hilliard, maybe keep...
Okay, for fun, what would you like to see happen? Yes, I'd like the Chargers OC, and QB, with Larry Fitzgerald as our #2 and AP running the...
I would NEVER believe that the party's involved would allow this to happen. Too many people making too much money off of the NFL for a lockout to...
That is true... However, dwelling in negativity is counter-productive. I never said for anyone to not have an opinion, I just get sick of all...
THANK YOU!!! DING-DING-DING!!! Somebody got it... Bob, tell the man what he's won! And to further this... Do we REALLY want to look like...
I'm SO TIRED of all the negative comments on this board... The reason I haven't been around that much this season. Everyone is entitled to their...
You are basing your opinion of Ross's decision purely off of speculation, along with many others. I base my opinion from what I have seen....
