Agreed. Seems like the one area the Dolphins did have the advantage -- knock on wood -- was on the health front. Seemed like Russell Gage, Jr....
Beal is suspended for all games this year and fined, but nothing was mentioned about the NFL-approved succession plan. I’m no lawyer, but at this...
Tyreke firing the crowd up. Backflipped. Jevon Holland in the Orange Jersey today. Sounds right. He's been a superhero so far in camp.
Armistead is a prototype LT. Not like some of the shorter-armed guard-types we've sometimes sent out there to man the corners. He and Williams...
Yep. Per Schefter and ESPN. Those are the numbers that are being run with all over Twitter.
It may be that Skura has had the yips again making shotgun snaps, like he did in Baltimore. I read that on one of the fan sites. Mancz played...
From a older guy who doesn't comment much, just wanna say there are a lot of us out here that appreciate the TONS of work you do Galant. Some of...
Wanted to say I “Liked” both yours and Clark Kent’s posts. While I agree with your POV and points, Clark K. makes really good and backed points,...
I don’t understand the negativity to this pick. Jaylen Waddle is an absolute weapon. And his will to be great is amazing. Before his injury,...
What if you made it another player, along with Tua, say an All Pro, like Xavien Howard, who would be worth picks himself? And then their 2nd round...
For the most part, I agree. At three, I would take Sewell. You never know, but he’s the one guy that if I had to bet on a guy from this draft who...
I think this is absolutely incorrect. The Patriots defense may or may not have given up on the season, but they had basically given up on stopping...
Seems to me, Free Agency will play a big part in the Fins front office thinking. If the Dolphins decide to go after a player like Allen Robinson,...
Miracle win that I'll gladly and excitedly accept. The Fins looked a step slow tonight. The Raiders, I believe, played last Thursday night and...
I believe he’s the sole Dolphins player to make the Pro Bowl squad. I thought maybe Ogbah, Sanders at Kicker, or maybe Grant as a Special Teamer...
Dolphins down 5 assistant coaches for this game due to COVID. That kind of hurts.

William Hayes at DE also helps. With he, Jones back, Raekwon, we should be somewhat better. Hopefully, something clicks with Jordan Phillips, as well.
What happened to sticking strictly to the contents of a post and addressing that alone? Calling other fans "asshats" and "dumbasses" for having...
When Tannehill/Landry were the focus of the Dolphins offense, we went 1-4. As good as Wake and Suh have been, our defense, while opportunistic,...
What was Miami's record before Ajayi started and began playing regularly? What was it after? Once the 200-yard games, followed by the 100-yard...

If Albert was going to be out a couple games, looking at our schedule, the Rams and the 49ers games seem the best ones for him to miss. Unless...
We're at home. The O-Line can hear the snapcount and fire off the ball. We're rested. Coming off a bye in which the coaches have gotten to study...
Yeah, Jay Ajayi, the O-line, and the coach's commitment to run has made the Dolphins fun and interesting to watch as a team, going past just being...
Sorry, should have quoted Rick above. I get an F for that, too!
It was to produce an effect. That is what people give their opinions on a Forum for instead of just leaving said opinions in their own mind. You...
I meant for "rhetoric" to mean the art of effective or persuasive speaking... what people do on a Forum. That's exactly what I said, meant, and...
I don't get the "I'm impressed so far..." rhetoric. Jay Ajayi has just ACCOMPLISHED what only three RBs in the whole history of NFL lore have...
Get what you're saying, but if the coaches put him in his place, he swallows his pride and decides to work hard, and he ends up better off because...
Think according to ESPN, they're listing McCoy as, officially out, and he may miss more time than just this week. Got this info from my bro, so...
I read somewhere he had more YAC than any back this week Will try to find it.
He did have a couple runs that looked designed to go inside, but he bounced them outside and got the corner to make big gains. He definitely did...
It's nice when there's an INT apiece for our back two.
Also, I did take a chance on him in my FFL. Got me 37.20 pts. in my league.
If nothing else, he's a punishing runner, and I like that.
I did, too, honestly. But, Rex Ryan is a bit more reliant and insistent about running the ball. And he's seen the tape. Plus, he doesn't have...
Buffalo is a tough matchup. They may decide not to throw a pass all day. Just run it 60 times. Will the Dolphins' run defense hold up?
Getting back to Gase, GISH was right. How many times before the season started did Adam Gase state that he would have Ryan Tannehill's back? It...
Yeah, pretty much this. While I agree with Con that this year's picks are, in general, more valuable than next year's picks, so much going into...
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally for Leonte Carroo, and I think he can be a really good WR. My beef is with the front office on this one. I've...

With all the talk on perhaps venturing to take a QB in next year's draft, it seems prudent as a reminder to state that the Dolphins are without...

Every week is different. Every team you match up against is a different beast. While it can be encouraging to see positives (big drive at the end,...

There are also QBs that are just late bloomers. Beurlein, Rich Gannon, and to a lesser extent Alex Smith all come to mind. Whether it was a...
Per the Herald, Chis Jones cut. Does that mean Warmsley in? Also, Dominique Jones, Rashad Melvin cut... and Chekwa.
Even more to the point, it would be optimal to have good/great linebackers at linebacker.
Conceived, born, raised, grown up a Dolphins fan. There's just nothing else for me in the NFL. I'll die a fan of the Dolphins. The only thing...
This signing is sort of the opposite of the Daniel Thomas signing in that it provides rays of hope rather than stomach-falling despair.
I agree with this sentiment, but one issue that remains at the forefront of many of the Dolphins problems seems to be a lack of leadership. I...

Agreed. Free Agency isn't over yet, so, like I said above, there are things that can be mitigated. Still, hindsight is awesome! And speaking...

Matthews drop was a ten to fourteen point turnaround. And the difference between giving up 7 or 14 points. Just a huge play in this game.

The NFL is advising the Miami Dolphins in this, correct? I'm under that assumption.
The Miami Dolphins misspelled both "organization" and "endeavors" in their statement? They're going to get killed. :lol:

Well, I think Martin's gone, too, and if we don't make the playoffs, so are the GM and coach, but that was probably happening anyway... but that...
I think the highlighted is the big question, and if he can, that'll say a lot about him as a leader and as the team's QB going forward. If he...
I saw Ice Cube say something like that in the 21 Jumpstreet movie. If a movie cop boss can say it to movie cops, maybe an offensive guard mike...
Catch-22, Catch-44, Catch-88. There's no good way to spin any of this. Whether Martin plays another game with the Fins, I don't know, but with...
Yeah, but he's the only guy on our team that could have. Gibson may have come close, but he's out for the year. It's nice to have a guy like that...
Why? Because the Dolphins record has been so great since Cam Wake has been with the team... or since he's been our best player? Don't get me...
The referee guy that the NFL Network talked to after the game said they looked at it and "confirmed" it was a catch. That was enough for me....
Whatever it is, Dion Jordan probably has to do the same thing to get a few more snaps from Vernon.
When did the nomenclature move from the testies to the tool? I know I'm old, but I still remember people saying things like "mega-sack", "balls...
I've been critical of Sherman in past games, and maybe he's just to the point where he's not going to please anyone, but personally, I thought it...
We definitely missed a chance when Lamar Miller fumbled, and we sort of laid an egg after Cam Wake's strip early, which resulted in a missed FG....
Patterson, when he plays, looks great, imo, maybe our best DB. Close coverages when he presses and on slants, makes nice breaks on balls, he...
Well, we probably score more offensive points if Miller (who I much prefer to Thomas) doesn't fumble after a pretty nice run (even though I...
Maybe this will sound like just an excuse for Wheeler and Jones -- who I think have both been kind of up and down this season (Jones more down...
Right on the challenge rules, but I disagree that they're useless. This OT played out as a field position battle, where neither offense moved that...
Agreed. Don't think injury is even a concern. And we weren't afraid to do it at the goal line, and we were rewarded with a TD. However, several...
Relief, hope, and life. No matter what people say, we have two pretty big signature wins in beating Indy and now Cinci. We also have an atrocious...
I agree!!!
So I guess the question here for the short-term for Martin at RT is: is "not very good" better than the "tragically awful" that Clabo was putting...
Obviously it won't matter near as much statistically (and I sort of agree with Sec that the batting play was a huge play), but the calls on 2nd...
Pouncey probably needs a good lawyer. If he's involved in gun trafficking transactions, it's probably for the best. I wasn't clear about how the...
9-7. On the off chance we beat New England on Sunday, you should bump this post and ask the question again.
Yipes, yeah, you're right, and I stand corrected. I had only looked at the still when I wrote that. As far as body-positioning, I'll admit to...
I don't agree that Gibson is the only guy open. The receiver about to cross the middle from right to left already has a step on his man, and the...
I just don't think there was that kind of time. Looking at that .gif over and over, by the time he hits the third step of his drop, Williams is...
At this point, this year, it's pretty close. Wallace has 3 more receptions, 30 more yards, 1 less TD, and a lower catch rate than Jennings. Their...
Agreed. The fumbles are problematic, way too many of them overall. And that's without me really blaming the last one on him too much. On that...
I don't know about that. I think Tannehill is progressing, even behind the offensive line being as bad as it is. I guess there is the fear out...
It's pure fantasy, but if we somehow found a way to win in Foxboro, I'm not sure there'd be a favorite in the division - it'd just be a dogfight...
Probably like a lot of coaches, Miami coaches seem to fetishize knowing the assignment over pure talent, so they tend to value guys who do better...
Maybe not on the RT, but one reason we're running quick routes that defenses see over and over on tape is because our quarterback doesn't have...
Wow. You do know everything.
Miami and the Jets are pretty similar. Both teams are talented enough to beat any team they play, and they're both limited enough to lose to any...
Exactly this. As an aside, I am in the camp of utilizing Jordan in far more plays.
I'm wondering if that's more Philbin than Sherman (going away from the run). It seems like at A&M, in the games I saw (which admittedly were only...
They're all the biggest reason, because if you change any one of them, the game probably goes another way. If Clabo blocks Williams around...
And our colors are (in best Zsa Zsa Gabor voice) "to die for"!
The way this one sets up for us... coming off a bye, two weeks of recuperation for our players' bodies, the Bills without their starting QB, their...
I agree. It's a strange decision for Sean Payton, who is usually sort of a gunslinger. He was when we played him a few years back and again this...
Mike Golic kept mentioning that hold on the radio this morning, and he's right. But, I've come to expect those things. It was still a massive...
Losing Aqib Talib for any time would hurt the Patriots. He's been flat out good when I've watched him so far this year.
Brady just missed a wide open Amendola for a TD. Got behind Rambo. Would have hated to hear the whoa and misery around here had Tannehill missed...
Ugh. Saints blew it on that possession. Wasted time out. Miss throw by Brees to an open man... would have been a TD. Settle for a FG.
Yep. Bengals win. They're alone in first place in the North.
Huge punt return by Brandon Tate. Bengals have a good shot to win this one. Starting at the Bills' 33.
Packers take the Ravens. That's nice.
Bills just tied up the Bengals. That's a surprise to me. Andy Dalton will get a chance to see if he can run the 61 second drill to get a FG.
Another Red Zone INT for Geno. That should do it. Pittsburgh is getting their first win.
Our offensive line troubles kind of remind me of where Chicago's was a year or two ago (2011) after they had gotten Cutler, but Cutler was getting...
Please... John Jerry is bigger and weighs more than a Ford Pinto. :lol:
While I may not have responded the same way, I don't disagree with the sentiment (that is, don't pull your starting QB) that Ohio Fanatic is...
I was just going to mention... one thing Tannehill (and his accuracy percentage) doesn't get the benefit of is a lot of WR screen plays. I count...
Well, crap. It looks like I completely plagiarized your work! :lol:
Yep. It's one of those - if you win the game, it's a legend play. Fans might even come up with a name for it, because it's in the final two...
I'm sure he's quite frustrated, putting it mildly. You touched on it, but there was the play in the game - and I remember Bess running similar...
Shades of Hitchcock! That poor, little girl is being "beaked" to death!!!
I kinda think we're fooling ourselves if we're expecting a change. I don't think it's going to happen. That said, I'd probably try number one....
The only slide I remember came after he had fumbled in the New Orleans game after scrambling. There was a play where he ran or scrambled to the...
Can totally relate. Oh, and you did well! fru·gal·i·ty /fro͞oˈgalətē/ noun 1. the quality of being economical with money or food; thriftiness....
Those were awesome... until we ended up losing after Judson and Langford got victimized (to use a family-friendly word) by Wesley Walker and his...
Ha! We give up 10 to everyone, so you guys win. I see you working... :wink2:
I agree. However, when fully healthy with Wake back and Jordan growing into more playing time, I think we should be plenty trouble for the Jets...
No doubt they're expensive, and I would never get on anyone for not having a jersey. I'm sort of out of the market for any shirt -- much less a...
Hey! That's what I mentioned above. And yes, there was.
Purchase four! Give 'em out as Christmas presents to neighbors and friends. Help the cause! Clean up the streets.
It's a bye week, so here's something trivial that I just saw that surprised me....
Good article. So what is to be made of Sherman's earlier (this year) statement - I'm paraphrasing - that Philbin would have him pass even more?...
Truth of the matter is, it's probably pretty close. And it's difficult to know how healthy we'll be win we play them, because aside from the first...
It seems like a fine line that's difficult to negotiate. Like is mentioned, you can't start every drive 2nd and 10, but you can't let everyone...
Hypotheticals galore!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Xv-qgdJn0 I'm really just kidding around. I think about moves the Dolphins could make,...
I hate the Jets.
Yeesh.
It's coming down to Folk.
This is a clinic on how to lose a game by ATL. Really kind of needing a turnover or a sack.
Three completions in a row. And now a seven-yard run. One more completion, and they're in FG range. Heck, they are now.
Two easy slants. Way too easy.
TD! ATL needs a stop here.
Bail out! Sweet!
Maybe it'll come down to Geno Smith having to make a last minute drive. Unfortunately, all he needs is a field goal... ...which brings back that...
Huh. Wonder if that FG before half might have helped here?
Finally, Jones wins a one-on-one with Cromartie.
ATL has a chance right here. Wonder if Julio Jones is coming back into the game. Be nice for "Matty Ice" lives up to his moniker. Just as I write...
Man, Gonzalez... ...and you get the feeling Mike Smith might regret not kicking that field goal before halftime.
If ATL isn't able to run on the Jets -- and they're not able to -- I'm not sure, without pulling some tricks out of the hat, that we'll be any...
