Separate names with a comma.
This is probably why they drafted him if you look at Robinson's RAS score, he's an insane athlete. [img]
He's hit on 7 out of 9 1st round picks and we have one of the most talented rosters in the league. I'm totally unsurprised you hate the pick...
I’m optimistic about the pick as he is only 21 and has insane athleticism. He’ll be a situational pass rusher this year (and we could have really...
He’s hit on 7 of his 9 first rounds picks, you are just *****ing for the sake of *****ing about Grier as usual. It’s getting tiring.
Austin Clark seems to be a great DL coach. Just look at the improvement in Sieler and Wilkins. Butch Barry somehow made the OL serviceable for...
If the Dolphins project DeJean to be a safety then I'll be very surprised if Grier uses a #1 on him as it's not typically an expensive position to...
No and I like Dak a lot. Tua is 5 years younger, he's still got a lot of growing to do.
Looking at him playing in the golf pro-am event a couple of weeks ago I think he's already looking like he lost some weight. [MEDIA]
I'd still have discussions with him in June/July to see how much an extension would cost. Miami will have the cap space with the X cut and the Tua...
Next season Wilkins has the 18th highest cap hit in the entire league, he's being massively overpaid. His contract will probably work out worse...
Also 8.8 yards per target, 2.7 yards average separation. Massive upgrade to Wilson, he plays most of his snaps on the outside which means you can...
I'm still not sure if he is trolling or actually believes what he is writing. At this point, I hope for his sake that he is trolling.
Huh, he plays golf as a righty (I know he is naturally right handed). That must feel awkward though as an NFL QB he will be used to...
Please enlighten us all as to why Fields would have been so valuable when every single NFL GM thought he wasn't even worth throwing a late round...
You clearly don't watch any football at all. In saying that, I wouldn't have minded the Dolphins going after Howell as a backup for Tua. Fields...
So now we just ditch him and sign a cheap QB to take us to the promised land of playoffs wins and a Super Bowl?
Thankfully they are not listening to your ideas on what to do at the QB position.
Totally agree, he posts the same stuff every year.
Aren't you the guy who is advocating getting a new QB every time the current guy are due to be paid?
Umm, yeah. What happens when the Dolphins win 11+ games again? Fields would be an absolute disaster in this offence. Stop looking at his...
Yeah Commanders gave him away for next to nothing. I wouldn't have minded him being the backup, he's got a good arm but just holds the ball too...
It blows my mind that anyone would actively want to trade for Fields and have him start just because he can run around a bit. As a passer he's...
Doubt it as he couldn't find a competent offensive coordinator to work with him. If Herbert was drafted and had to work with the same offence that...
That’s the obvious move to most rational thinking people.
Seriously, you seem to hate everything the Dolphins and Grier do, and I mean every single thing. You always take the sky is falling approach....
I thought someone had forgot to pay the bill for the domain name or the ssl certificate. Also saw a few names on FinHeaven that I haven’t seen...
I'm not sure what his size actually is, I've seen anywhere between 275-295 but he looks on the lighter end for sure. Even then, a 280lb man should...
Sieler won't be taking on double teams, they will be signing a big space eater for that if the Baltimore model is anything to go by. Sieler will...
Brain fart moment, I guess I was remembering his time on the Bills.
Remember my whole "batsh*t crazy" posting from earlier today? No serious Dolphins fan would ever entertain the idea of ditching Tua for one of...
AVG replacement and should be able to start if Chubb or Phillips aren't ready for the season opener. Also was cut so protects the 2 3rd round comp...
You can't be serious? Have you actually watched those guys lately? If that is the options then it's time to trade Waddle, Hill, Phillips, Chubb,...
What has changed in the last 2 years then? He's been top 5 in every QB metric since then. I guess it's the whole win a playoff game thing which...
Paying Tua $66M over the next 2 years in cap hits while you could have him count as $35M instead seems like a bad idea to me if you are already...
Who? I honestly can't think of a single QB out there right now that the Dolphins could sign. The Raiders just signed Minshew and the Vikings went...
Grier has repeatedly said that Waddle is going nowhere, I'd be surprised if he turned around and traded them. Just like he said Wilkins and Hunt...
On the face of it, I was shocked as well at paying out $7M per season for someone who pass blocks slightly better than Eichenberg. I've watched...
Yes, it would be a good thing then but I don't think that is going to happen. Tua has improved every single offseason at the things people have...
He's the best deep ball passer in the league though? He's also proven to be very efficient for the last 2 seasons now. Nearly all QB's struggle...
Eh? I'm not posting that to ridicule anything, what are you talking about? I'm posting it because Christian Wilkins has a $35M cap hit next...
I've no issue with discussion and listening to other ideas and views. My issue comes when those ideas are batsh*t insane and they keep getting...
I meant the $35M cap hit. It would be a few years before we see that with Tua as with these big QB contracts you just keep kicking the can down...
Really wish we had went after DaQuan Jones. I see he resigned in Buffalo for 2 years, $16M.
And when he posts another 100 passer rating you are now looking at $60M per year with the incoming cap rise. He's just posted a 100 rating with...
The Wilkins contract... https://overthecap.com/player/christian-wilkins/7804 Cap hits of 11.5M this year then 35M, 31.75M, 31.75M. Next season...
No chance. Hill is gone in 2 years and you want to trade Waddle then? We going back to the dark days of 2020 and having no options to throw to?...
Or a sign that you are sick of dealing with their dumb chit. Some people can’t be reasoned with and just keep spewing nonsense after nonsense so...
I must have missed all the improvements the Bills, Jets and Pats have made. Has Buffalo signed a whole new defence yet?
No, most of them needed replaced. The defence had failed under 3 different co-ordinators with most of those guys. It was time to try something new.
I like how you used “when”. You are already dreaming about that outcome, aren’t you? I actually don’t like the signing either, he’s not what I...
We aren’t paying Jones $7.5M, the Broncos are.
$100M contract. If Grier gave him that you would be complaining about keeping him. $20M per year for Rob Hunt is absolutely nuts.
Mostly front loaded too. $90M guaranteed in the first 2 years. No way the Dolphins could have done that.
And just like that the Vikings give the Gink a 2 year $20M deal.
Like most playoff teams then. If you don't have cap difficulties then you aren't trying. :tongue:
If Brandon Jones can somehow get $7.5M per year then yeah, AVG is gone. Someone is going to give him $10M per year at this rate.
This is were we differ. You see it as designed in that the plays were designed to get the ball out in 2.3 seconds while I think they were designed...
Holy overpays, $7.5M a year for Brandon Jones? Did they get him confused with someone else?
They could have tagged him if they wanted to but they didn't want to pay him $22M for the year and now it's obvious he would have never have...
LOL, good luck getting the same kind of production from Wilkins as Crosby. $27.5M per year? That's mental, absolutely mental for Wilkins. I loved...
Thing is, you didn't think the team was good enough last season and now you are complaining that they won't bring back those same players. Simple...
Of course you would but you've never believe that Tua would be a good player anyway. From that other site when talking about if you would trade...
Of course the line matters. Some people...
I think you were banned for your constant, every post and thread you started about how the Dolphins need to get rid of Tua but I never saw you...
I like Hunt as well but if he’s going to get $17M per year then I don’t like him that much. Good player but not worth a top 5 guard contract, he’s...
I’m sure Grier would love that too but is there anyone out there that is willing to give up that many picks plus a $100M contract for Wilkins?...
You are only handcuffed until you either trade him or get a deal done. Even then, once you make some cuts like Baker, Jeff Wilson, Crossen, maybe...
Yeah, I wasn't including Tua in the restructures now. You have Hill, Chubb, Ramsey and Sieler all set to make large base salaries this season,...
They can if they want to but it looks like they don't want to. They have the most restructure room in the league and this means they haven't...
HGH is a helluva drug. Unless there is something even fancier and undetectable now.
Wouldn't be against this move at all, it's definitely something that is needed.
They can if they want to, key word being "want". Also, the guy on reddit who is big on the cap put up a new post and highlights how the Dolphins...
Sigh… I’m on the verge of giving up trying to explain this. Every team does this, the cap goes up every year so you push money forward. Miami has...
Looking at last year CB’s contracts signed I’ll be surprised if X gets more that $7M per season. At that rate the Dolphins should bring him back...
His contract actually took into account that he would miss games as it was way below market value for a player of his calibre. Top tackles that...
No surprise as the Dolphins could have claimed over $7M back from him in signing bonus plus he was also giving up his guaranteed salary for 2024....
There was $36M of new money added to the deal yet his cap hit this season is $4.5M (first year of the new deal). It’s how a lot of the new...
They usually won’t have a choice as it’s often written into the contract that a team can restructure their deal without their permission. Plus, it...
Just were are you getting the "other 28 players they will need to sign" from? The cap only counts against the top 51 contracts on the team and the...
The best salary cap breakdown I read comes from a guy on Reddit each year. This is the start of his offseason breakdown. [MEDIA] [MEDIA]...
I loved watching Vick play as he was a human highlight reel that could take off at any moment. He gets minimized because although he had a cannon...
Vick was fun to watch and as I've said multiple times if he couldn't make the run first QB work then I don't think anyone ever will. I don't think...
My thoughts would be, who are the 5 greatest QB's of all time and how many of them were run first QB's? Top 10? Any run first QB's in there? Sure...
So you don't blame an interior OL consisting of Lester Cotton, Liam Eichenberg and Rob Jones? That gets a pass but it's 30-40% the QB fault? I saw...
Justin Fields? Seriously? Have you watched him trying to play QB from the pocket? He's the definition of a coach killer. Someone who has unreal...
Not watching an hour of that asshat but is that the video where he goes off on a rant about DouglieDoWrong saying he will have more subscribers...
Just someone sticking up for his pal. I said it a few times throughout the season but Fangio genuinely looked put out when he was wheeled out for...
I'd be desperately trying to trade down at least once and maybe even twice to get a couple of 3rd rounders. Then use the first 3 picks on C,G and TE.
We must have been watching different defences all season then. Every playoff team they faced the QB put up over a 100 passer rating, that’s simply...
Or you have someone that can get the ball out quickly and accurately so that he is top 5 in nearly every QB metric yet had the 31st pass blocking...
Seriously? What part of this are you not grasping or are you being obtuse for the sake of it? The new deal was signed prior to the 2023 season,...
Or it could be he has Liam Eichenberg and Rob Jones trying to pass protect right in front of him. There were multiple times I watched Allen and...
I’m not sure how many times people need to point this out to you. He will be cheaper the first 2 years of the contract then it’s starts getting...
They lost a few starters on defence but the offence was completely healthy all season (bar Knox missing November but they have a 1st round TE to...
He’s got a healthy offensive line though. He’s got far better options at TE. He’s got a better WR3 in Shakur. Yet he is still an average passer...
The eyeball test, get with it dude. He can run around and make a play. He beat a banged up Cleveland in a dome, he must be great. Also failed to...
The only ones that they will let go of any consequence are Wilkins, Baker and possibly Williams imho. All the others are depth guys that are now...
T Took a year in the 90’s, most ACL’s these days are 9 months. Soccer players are coming back from them quicker than ever and not missing a beat....
It’s not cutting half the team, it’s cutting guys who are being paid way more than their value that you plan to replace with cheaper players. The...
We can. Miami won 11 games with backups playing 47% of the snaps on the OL. The next highest playoff teams was in the 20's and the great and might...
Nonsense. Just complete and utter nonsense. Your hatred for Grier is definitely clouding your judgement on this one.
I don't think he will retire due to a couple of things. 1. He has $5M in guaranteed salary next year but I think he has to be on the roster for...
I fully expect the Dolphins to be challenging for the division again and to win at least 11 games, barring catastrophic injuries like this season....
It wasn't so much the choreographed celebration that annoyed me, it was more the timing of it in the Titans game. The offence had sucked donkey...
It should either be a 15 yard unsportsman like penalty on the QB or the NFL starts treating running QB's like a RB. It's ridiculous at this...
Phillips got injured in November, 1 month after Wake. If he follows the same recovery schedule (and he is 9 years younger) then he would be ready...
Of course it goes up, that's the way all contracts work as the salary cap increases each year. Did you not notice the smaller figures in the first...
I've watched the other Warner stuff, I'll definitely be watching this later. Thanks.
Miami's 3 best OL played less than 50% of snaps this year. Eichenberg played over 800 snaps, most of them at the only position on the line he...
Cam Wake tore his achilles at nearly 34 years old in October and was back by June. I'll be surprised if Phillips isn't back by camp time. Chubb...
Lack of depth? It was mostly the depth that played this season and they made the playoffs with it. Also beating the "bad" teams consistently is...
Just go and look at how you structure contracts, he will cost less than $24M for next season and quite possibly the 2025 season as well with a new...
Playoffs and in the running for the #1 or #2 seed late in the season? Yes please. We could go back to 6 and 7 win seasons for multiple years if...
Every playoff calibre team Miami played, the defence surrendered over a 100 passer rating. Every single game. Also saw on Twitter than both Apple...
How so? He played all 18 games, only 8 other QB's managed to do that I believe. So in that sense, it was an epic win, not a failure. He's going to...
They are now saying the wind chill could be -30 come Saturday night. I wonder what the over/under is on the number of fans who get frostbite.
I think he has been coached to not run this year, don't take any risks. I also believe he has a desire to prove people wrong on the injury front...
Totally agree but even he can spot if a player is on the scout team or not.
Seems like the coach may have thought differently than it was a "throw into double coverage and hope for the best". [MEDIA]
Now if this doesn't open up everyone's eyes to what StaleTacos really is then I guess nothing will. He is genuinely happy here that the Dolphins...
Discord is like a much fancier IRC if you remember the really old days. :smile:
What's he learning being on the scout squad all season?
I'm guessing they will need to elevate some PS players as well for special teams at least.
Pretty sure those "insiders" now have a podcast and a discord server so people do want to pay them for their information. Not my thing though, but...
It's never been a big forum though and was set up to get away from the lunatics on the other forum if I remember correctly. It's always been more...
The Chiefs defence is outstanding against the pass but it's actually pretty poor against the run. To have any chance Miami is going to have to run...
He seems to be getting a free pass this year for being absolutely terrible while Apple is getting crapped on (rightfully so). The Dolphins are...
Tua feasting on those easy defences this year... [MEDIA]
[MEDIA] [MEDIA]
So the whole depth at OLB and edge rusher is Ogbah and Ingram. Everyone else is done for the year. Fangio is going to need to get creative, maybe...
Going to have to elevate a lot of practice squad players or sign guys off the couch at this rate.
I guess your definition of open and mine are different. The CB has his hand on Wilson't back, that's not open. That's looking for an excuse to...
AVG and Baker are both out against KC. [MEDIA]
Another angle. I'm sure more will become available when people start reviewing the All-22. He threw it to the open space and Claypool takes his...
Where? [IMG]
Every road game outside the division is against a winning team? How is that easy?
See below...
I still think the whole "can't make it through a season uninjured" is playing a massive role in Tua's mind and he's doing everything he can to...
I noticed on the game ending interception that Buffalo basically went man to man with 2 deep and everyone was touch tight covered when Tua threw...
Personally I went to bed when we went 3 and out after the punt return as I knew what was coming and I’d rather get an extra 30 minutes of sleep,...
Need to run it to give the defence a rest, it can’t get off the field. This Buffalo offence has been terrible the last 2 weeks and it’s moving at...
I’m beginning to think it as well but he has held Buffalo to 7 points while missing a bunch of starters.
I remember wanting Boyer fired for that defence against the Chargers and now Fangio tried it as well but he got lucky.
Dunno, I’m loving it.
He’s a moron. It’s a tipped ball and he watches Sherfield catch it rather than running over and tackling him while the ball is in the air.
Totally agree. The next couple of seasons are really bright for the Dolphins.
Obvious like to stay home but if results fell the Dolphins way they could have been looking at home games against Steelers, Jax and then @Bal or...
I haven’t looked for a couple of years now but SKY always had their games blacked out on gamepass in the UK. That meant basically the 3 games on...
So, if I’m looking at this right the Dolphins probable path to the Super Bowl is… Win - Buf, KC, @Balt Lose - @KC, @Balt, @Buf Hard route no...
Game is on SKY in the UK so would be blacked out on Gamepass for 24 hours. I think. One of the reasons I stopped getting it, that and they...
I was contemplating skipping it and just watching the YouTube highlights in the morning but the problem is you can tell who won by the thumbnail....
On the bright side the Bills fans might not be able to afford the trip in consecutive weeks so next week might actually feel like a home game for...
I’ve got work tomorrow and it starts at 1:15am over here. Coffee, lots of coffee tomorrow.
Browns v Bengals going on now? Bengals up 24-0.
Beginning to look like a win and it’s Buffalo again, a loss and away to KC.
Just need Jax to not **** the bed and the pressure will be immense on the Bills. Lose and they are out, McDermott will be on the hotseat and...
Probably also helped that his wife was making more money than him.
So if we aren’t going to pay Tua the going rate for a top QB, what are our options going forward?
Being nice to the team would be taking $40M a year rather than the $50M a year his new contract is going to be.
Wish we had a rule were this guys videos weren’t allowed to be posted. It’s obvious he just posts stuff for clicks now, he realised the “bash Tua...
The 5% variation is it taking into account the number of starters missing or is it just "at least 1 starter missing". I'm wondering if there is...
Footballers, I mean soccer players :smile: have been coming back from ACL's in 6-9 months nowadays when years ago it was a career ender. I think...
Steelers beat them earlier in the year when they had Lamar and he's definitely sitting this game. Ravens will have a ton of backups out there,...
He might need a new contract when this one is up then.
How does any team account for 15 starters being injured? Well 15 of the current starters, some of whom were backups at the start of the season...
I'm actually surprised that Tua is the starter when the fan voting only accounts for 1/3 of the voting. That means enough players and coaches...
I think we will find out the point on Sunday. There are 15 of the 22 starters on the injury report as DNP/Limited while the Bills essentially have...
No excuses. Just win, baby. Right? [IMG]
I've still got a slight hope that the Ravens game was just "one of those games" and the Cowboys game is more like the real Dolphins. Play like...
1. The Ravens defence adjusted as you said. Miami couldn't adjust though as the OL can't hold up in passing blocking for 2.5 seconds. The first 2...
I did too but the injuries keep mounting up. 8 starters missing for the Ravens game, felt like Miami almost fielded a pre-season game roster.
Ooh, I forgot about that option. I actually like it and I was thinking about that this morning. Stupid brain, guess I need to refuel it with more...
You do realise that if the Dolphins had scored 0 against the Broncos they would still be the 8th ranked scoring offence in the league? It's a very...
I think that was the game where Trent Williams was out and CMC had to sit for a bit as well. They then went on a 2 game skid as CMC was limited,...
Best case scenario is Dolphins, Steelers, Jags win. Then Buffalo can stay home and wonder how they missed the playoffs while having their full...
It's not an excuse when you are missing 9 starters out of 22. That's a fact. You can only dig so far into the well of backups before you are at a...
They may have lost 6 OL but only 2 of them were projected starters as far as I can see (Willis and Conklin, both tackles) they still have both...
He’ll lose it when he gets his contract. He is thinking the extra bulk is keeping him healthy.
We are playing G5 G4 G3 as the interior of the line and have been for weeks. LT1 has missed more games than they have played, G1 is on IR, C1 is...
What kind of bonus? Signing bonus then of course, it’s prorated out with each year of the contract and you are on the hook for it no matter what....
I’m implying he’s not dragging his team into the playoffs, it’s much more of a team effort and he’s getting the credit. He’s been pretty poor at...
Or Cam Smith really sucks if Eli Apple is beating him out. Remember the dark old days of praying for Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner to start...
Cam Smith doesn't even practice with the team, he's on the scout team if we believe Omar. There is zero chance he plays, zero.
MVP is voted on by a lot of the media so Tua had no shot this season anyway. You just need to listen to James Jones on Speak when he said "The MVP...
I think the depth on the team is actually pretty good considering we are 11-5 while having so many injuries. It's just not good enough to overcome...
Second drive too but Tyreek was more worried about starting his celebration than pulling in the catch. After that the Ravens adjusted, starting...
Phillips, Baker and X went out the first play. Holland was clearly not fit and should not have been out there. Maybe Baker is as dumb as Reilly...
I've thought all along we would beat Buffalo at home in the final game but after last week I'm not so sure. Losing Chubb and X on defence is a...

Absolutely embarrassing performance today from the defence. This is the Duke Reilly I expected to see when he stepped in. Fangio getting his...
Holland back, Ogbah a healthy scratch. Full starting secondary for the first time in 5 weeks. Hamilton out for the Ravens is huge and they have...

From what I can see McDonald’s defence has gone up against a Shannahan type offence 3 times in the last 2 seasons. The Rams put up 410 yards of...
There has been 1 throw all season that I can remember being shocked at when Tua went deep to Waddle and completely overthrew him (turns out it was...
They don’t throw for a lot of yards, Lamar has 6 games under 200 yards. How that equates to MVP is a struggle in my mind.
It gets to a point that even the strongest mentality teams just can’t overcome the physical limitations of their backups. Having Cotton play guard...
Beat a top 5 team in the league with 6 starters missing on offence for most of the game (4 OL, Mostert and Waddle) and 3 defensive starters in JP,...
Yeah, it seemed like Tua was telling him to get his **** together.
Yep, force him to beat you from the pocket. Their strength is their rushing due to Lamar’s scrambling, I’d expect Miami to play a ton of zone to...
I’d love to know what the conversation between Tua and Armstead at half-time was about.
Anytime I’ve watched the Ravens he is the one that is making plays for them.
Who are you and what have you done with the real Rick 1966?
If we lose both games then it’s a stupidly hard road to the Super Bowl. Likely would be Chiefs, Ravens then the Bills all on the road.
The Chiefs win the division with 11 wins and would be #3, Buffalo would be #2 based on head to head (assuming both win out).
Aren’t we guaranteed at least the #6 seed now? Problem with losing both games would mean that we are going to Arrowhead or Buffalo for the...
That’s exactly why they threw the flag, the referee told Parsons that it was because he tried to punish the QB and I’ve no doubt that’s what he...
I don’t either but if he wins us a Super Bowl I might just get one and dance pantless in front of it.
I actually don’t think the roughing call was BS. He didn’t even attempt a tackle, it was a forearm smash into the back of the QB right at the...
Going to be “they have only beaten 2 teams with winning records” after next Sunday.

While all that is true, Dak is a legit top 10 QB and much better than Macorkle. So at least his comparisons are moving in the right direction....
I’ll take Dak comparisons all day over Macorkle, you are going in the right direction. :smile:
I thought he had learned after his Hard Knocks speech. Stop with the fades, if that’s all you have just take the points.
In certain positions, yes. Their DL unfortunately matches up very well against our OL which allows them to rush just 4 and get pressure. This...
Totally aware of it but you can push the can even further down the line with them. As long as you don’t go overboard and your projections for the...
And you were down on them for the Jets yet they shut them out. Please continue to be down on them. :smile:

The chart is only from week 8, we’ve played some bad offensive lines in that time like the Commanders and Jets twice. The front 4 have been...
The Y axis is inverted, this means that Miami are giving up little pressure while applying a lot of pressure. Top right is good. It’s a strange...
It’s Cowturd, I’m betting he’s talking about the QB’s since he’s been a Tua hater since his first year.
I'm guessing QBR must be factoring in scrambling since it has Allen in 3rd. I'm also guessing it's knocking Tua for all those Centre/QB exchange...
Are we seriously going to start using that garbage, made up stat? Just last week, Hurts against the Seahawks and Tua against the Jets. How on...
Looks like Miami might be getting some players back for this game based on who practiced today. Worryingly I think AJ and Hunt didn’t practice....
That’s where I’m at. I’m usually shocked when it’s not completed. When he lets it go I’m usually thinking “big play coming up”.
Waddle had a run last season on nextgenstats at 21.5mph with the ball in his hands, in pads, during a game. I think it was in the top 10 last...
He was a guest on the NFL program here in the UK a few weeks ago and he certainly looked in shape, the man is huge....
I often agree with your takes on football but there is absolutely no way Waddle is a high 4.4 guy, zero chance of it. Sauce ran a 4.41 at the...
Probably still in mourning over his team getting shut out.
Funny as I watched Dak the other night overthrow Cooks by about 5 yards when he was wide open deep. Easy, walk in TD missed by not being able to...
And that wasn’t helping him when he was pressured on 80% of his dropbacks. He may have done a bit better in the 2nd half when the Dolphins called...
Beating the Titans would have relieved the stress levels of fans but in the end the Dolphins still control their own destiny. Win 2 of the next 3...
Yes, at home. They are 7-0 at home and 3-4 on the road. Their run defence isn’t stellar but I don’t think it’s as bad as it was yesterday...
I wonder at what point we can just say that he's a very good QB. There can't be very many spots left in the stadium that the goalposts can be...
I took the under 35.5, Tua under 208 yards, Tua under 1.5 TD's and Mostert over 63 yards. Was nearly wrong on every one so I think I'll keep...
They keep focusing on what he can’t do rather than what he can. What he can do not only vastly outweighs what he can’t, what he does best is...
5th time in 14 games he’s been benched, clearly not the guy…
So Tua has just went for 21/24 and a 119 rating without Hill against a top defence. I’m guessing the goalposts will be moved this week to he...
Because he is Tua’s first option today. This game is exactly like I expected, a low scoring, horrible defensive battle. :tongue: Let’s hope we...
If the injuries stay at the same level as now it's a possibility as we are currently missing 9 starters from 22, that's just a ridiculous amount....
-8.5? Think I'll be taking the Jets and the under this week. Just so many injuries to contend with at the moment, I'll happily take a 1 point...
Strange signing when the OL is so thin. Are they expecting Armstead and Hunt back this week? I thought if they were going defence they would have...
The defence has been playing so well lately that most didn't notice that Kohou is having a terrible season. His coverage stats are abysmal....
It's because they value mobility at centre over everything else. They need a centre who is mobile enough to get out the 2nd level and cut off LB's...
It's Barry Bad Takes. He's probably blaming Tua for the loss. He's also probably getting excited for his Cowboys to beat the Dolphins in 2 weeks...
As I said, I won't mind it if it's Mostert strolling in to make it 42-10 in the 4th, have at it then. But if it's Mostert punching it in on 3rd...
I don’t mind them doing it when it’s the 4th TD of the game and they are up by 21 points but last night was uncalled for. They were stinking up...
Imagine how you would feel if you sat up till 04:45am to watch them throw the game away.
I'm a Catholic and I still think it doesn't mean anything.
Last night was a gut punch for me, I just didn’t see that coming. They have been so good at winning games where they matched up well so I thought...
It’s not that he hasn’t got the arm, it’s how he chooses to throw them imho. We saw that when he threw the out to Tyreek for about 30 yards, it...
And that defence right there was the one that was nagging one in the back of my mind. To give up 2 long TD drives at the end in quick succession...
Can’t believe I’ve stayed awake till 4:45am to watch that. I’m done with watching late games, not just our terrible play but the terrible...
Maybe gravity just increase by 10 as X jumped for the ball as he was slammed into the ground. Referees have been a joke so far, totally...
OL with 4 backups in needs to block for the QB first. Instant pressure every drop back so far.
Titans 0 Dolphins 7 Referees 10 so far.
I'm not sure now if Williams is pushed into Stroud and can't stop or if he drives him into the ground. Definitely a concussion there, his head...
Bengals do look good and that backup QB is looking like Burrow back there. If he plays like this for the rest of the season the Bengals may be...
Thought the hit on Stroud yesterday was clear roughing the passer but I don't know if it was called or not as I only saw it through Redzone....
It doesn't, they are running plays. Why would they be added to a passing stat? If you are happy for your QB to have 10 carries per game then good...
People who watched the game won't notice it though as Romo was too busy slurping on him all the way through. Pretty sure he even called one of his...
Think it's just because he's been buried behind Baker, Long and Van Ginkel in the depth chart at LB. I'm just hoping he is better than he was last...
Probably not mentioned because it doesn't mean anything. That Barry guy was banging on about this last season, it was around then I stopped...
Anyone watch the Ravens game? Do they look like a scary team to you? The only thing scary about that team is when Lamar is scrambling. They...
It depends on seeding for me. If the Dolphins get the #1 seed I don't mind Buffalo sneaking in as the #7 and having to go on the road to Baltimore...
Definitely. The time between Christmas’ seems to get shorter each year. My oldest kid just turned 18 this week and I can still remember the day...
There is a little nagging doubt in the back of my mind that the defensive improvement is in part because we have played poor offences, even KC are...
[MEDIA] Not going to lie, I'm all in on this team now more so than anytime since Wanny wasted the last good roster. These McDaniel conferences...
Sorry, didn't see this before making a thread about it.
I showed it because he clearly gets knocked out on the play and yet he wasn't even put into concussion protocols and was back practicing a couple...
It's a scene from Pulp Fiction and a very well known meme. [MEDIA]
[MEDIA] Holy crap, talk about throwing a coach under the bus.
So Derrick Henry didn't enter concussion protocols this week and is already practicing and will likely play this week. Where is the media outcry...
This is a great deal for the Dolphins. Looking at the right tackle deals from last year I was expecting him to get at least $18M a year taking...
I was instantly excited when I saw McDaniel's reaction to drafting him. When coach wants someone that badly, you know he has plans for him.
Sounds like they are going to want the Manning's to do Redzone and talk about both games at the same time.
Isn't this just fan voting though? And how the hell is Holland down in 6th?
Looking at the defensive stats for the Titans is confusing me. They are one of the best rush defences in the league at 3.6ypc but their pass...
They have a terrible pass defence but a very good run defence. If Simmons is out then I’ve no idea how they stop the Dolphins. To be honest I’m...
Not Barry again, this guy never has a good take on anything.
When Van Ginkel scored and McDaniel said to Ramsey "that's how you do it" I nearly lost it. You can also see how much players love McDaniel, the...
Watched it last night, great viewing as always.
As harsh as it sounds but if there was one defensive starter that had to go down I'd have chosen Baker. There is a drop off from him to Duke but I...
This was a good breakdown on the defence this week. The coverage on the backend was fantastic all day, they are definitely getting the scheme. For...
I don't think it makes it harder, win the next 2 and we win the division as Buffalo aren't going to win out. They are a much better team than 6-6...
[MEDIA] Clip from the next episode.
Looks like Coach agreed with you by giving Achane the bulk of the carries. He essentially gave Mostert half a game off to let him get a bit...
We are going to win the division unless something major (that I'm not going to say out loud) happens so I actually want Buffalo to beat KC just to...
The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about this team are the injuries on the OL and how we hold up against the elite DL's because of it....
I’d guess it’s because most active posters have him on ignore by now.
[IMG]
We are a different team at home, I'll be surprised if he doesn't go for over 100 in at least 1 of those games against Dallas and Buffalo.
Did Calvin miss any time in his 16 game season when he set the record? So far Tyreek has essentially sat out the 4th quarter of the Denver, New...
It didn't, one of the first replies was... [MEDIA] Some people just want to believe what they want to believe no matter the evidence. Tua even...
I’ve suspected for a while that he is, it’s the reason he is the only guy on the board I have on ignore. He never debates in good faith,...
Um, Tannehill wasn’t. :laughy:
The interior wasn’t getting collapsed, he’s great when he can move up in the pocket.
There have been a few poor offences but also KC. A big test this week as the Commanders aren't terrible on offence and it's on the road. Need the...
Keenan Allen is 1st in receptions, 2nd in yards, 3rd in yards per game (behind Tyreek and Jefferson) and 5th in TD's yet people seem to think...
Half this board showing up at the next game dressed like this after reading the bio... [IMG]
It's a massive blow as for me he's one of the best edge players in the league. I still see a ton of JT in his game. The problem for the defence...
He would be as backup to Baker and Long so that Van Ginkel can play on the edge full time. I suspect we might see Ogbah get snaps on early downs...
Also, Mac is the only one who had that rating on the road against the Jets, all the other ratings came when the Jets were on the road. Mac has...
Feel like I'm missing out on the conversation now but then I realise I put him on ignore for a reason. It's plain as day that he's not a Dolphins...
Such a bad call, clear grounding and safety.
Nice first drive stand by the defence for once. Offence should have plenty of possessions today.
This is true. Most forum users are older and generally continue to visit the same forums they have for years and years.
Tua has earned Austin Jackson about $80M this season as someone is going to pay him $18M a year next year. AJ has improved but Tua getting the...
I wonder if he would still be a unicorn if he didn’t come into the league with Andy Reid as his head coach. Reid managed to transform Vick into a...
He needs to get it fixed before it ends up costing us this season and him his career. No one wants a kicker who is 33% from 50+ over multiple...
McDaniel said yesterday in his press conference that it's day to day and doesn't need surgery. He was non-comital on this week so I'd expect to...
I understood it from kids shows when my kids where young.
Opposite for me, I'm expecting a dogfight and to see the offence stall a few times through their own errors. Until they prove they can play a...
Exactly. Win this and there is a very real chance we are 11-3 going into the Dallas game. I'm expecting this to be a very tight, frustrating...
And if we play them again on a neutral field with even a semblance of fair refereeing I like our chances.
Points is at 41? I'm taking the under :chuckle: If our offence stops turning the ball over inside our 35 yard line this horrible Jets offence is...
I've liked your post because I finally understand where you are coming from but I completely disagree with your take. Has Mahomes looked elite...
Is there a points per drive metric for defences? I wonder with the Jets offence being so horrific if their defence has to defend more plays which...
Never change Alan, never change. I'm pretty confident if Tua puts up 325 yards, 2 TD's and a 103 rating against the Jets we win that game...
To be fair we are rolling out guards 4 and 5 right now, not many teams can overcome that. You could see by yesterday's gameplan that McDaniel...
There is a certain ex-President who did this and a certain ex-Prime Minister who also did it. Their lies seemed to spread. Sadly, it seems to be...
I can’t see anything to answer. Since I only have 1 guy on ignore I know who made the post. The guy is clearly a troll who has no intention of...
Looked like some kind of compound fracture, there was something sticking through his glove.
I’m genuinely worried the offence will cost us more points against the Jets than the defence will give up.
Offence was brutal today but this defence is starting to look elite. Just hope the offence doesn’t beat us against the Jets on Friday.
Unbelievable play by Ramsey.
Think Ramsey just knocked the wind out of himself. Hope so at least.
Great use of timeouts, fml.
Why are we taking a timeout and giving them a breather?
It looks like week 4 really was Buffalo’s Superbowl this year. Remember we only scored 70 because it was against the “terrible” Broncos who have...
West coast team coming east for a 1pm game usually gives a big advantage to the east coast team (let’s ignore the 49ers Jags game yesterday...
Burrow with 2 4th quarter interceptions, image if Tua did that. To be fair, he threw a good ball on the 3rd and goal that the receiver just flat...
I posted this on another site about QB's and their pass ratings on the road this season... Mahomes JAX- 98.1 NYJ - 63.6 MIN - 109.9 DEN - 59.1...
Again, this makes no sense. Do you think a QB has time to scan #1 to #3 and then all the way back to #1 before #1 has even ran his route? If a QB...
The OL is awful no doubt but I don't think Wilson makes quick decisions and holds onto the ball far too long. When a QB has 900 passing attempts...
I understand the comment you made, it's was complete gibberish. How do you determine who is the "best" open receiver to throw to? You go through...
The algorithm kept putting his videos to the top on my recommended list a while ago and I watched quite a few of them. Wasn't really that...
Having a backup guard and a backup backup guard in the game is likely to hamper anyones run game. Also running stretch plays predominately with a...
I seriously doubt he will be back from a snapped achilles in the next 5 weeks. If he somehow is then he will be a sitting duck behind that line.
Watching Zach Wilson last night I realised that he's much faster than Tua, has a way stronger arm than Tua, he can make every throw with that arm...
Yeah but he threw it really far and it didn’t wobble like a duck so it was a great throw…
Anyone that has watched Tua at all this season will know that 99% of the time he will throw the ball before the receiver makes his break. On that...
Guys, let’s fire McDaniel and hire dolphin25 as the new coach. He’s going to make a lot of people on this board happy when he gets Tua killed by...
I’d imagine they will structure Tua’s contract like the Hurts one. If you look at that he has cap hits of $21M, $31M, $41M in the first 3 years of...
The Chargers *should* win as they are capable of some offensive output. The Jets have absolutely nothing on offence at all.
Most of this board are old guys who’ve been arguing with each other for 20 years about the Dolphins (if you include the other site). I’m late 40’s...
Doesn’t that mean that it’s the correct spelling since we invented the language and your spelling is the “technically” not wrong version? :tongue:
I think they may beat each other up. The Bengals and Steelers still have 4 divisions games in their last 9 while the other 2 have 3 games in 8. I...
Mentally tough team that has fallen short every year while having Mr January as QB? I’ll be very surprised if they beat the Bengals tonight and...
The Bills have looked horrible against poor teams, even at home. They have lost DaQuan, Milano and White from their defence and teams have finally...
The Bills? Serious question, do you watch any other games at all? What in their last 3 games were the Bills have lost to the Jags and squeaked by...
16-2 at home in the last 18 games and you think we lose 3 or 4 of the next 5?
And after you watch him hold the ball forever and take sack after sack you would be saying “this guy sucks, we need so and so now”.
Again, illegal contact down the field and nothing.
Another complete bull**** call to stop momentum.
This piss poor display is putting me in such a bad mood that I don’t even want to watch anymore football today.
Another ****ing drop. We can’t beat good teams, I now believe it. Offence shoots itself in the foot far too often against good defences.
Terrible play call as well, we were finally getting our quick slants working and they have sniffed out that Tyreek screen earlier.
That’s not a catch by Tyreek. Major shaft yet again. He bobbles the ball before he is tackled.
Ball game right there. I’m turning this off.
Offence has been a shambles again against a good defence. We need points this drive and the next after half time.
The Dolphins made the mistake of not announcing before the game that they were going to be physical with the Chiefs WR. When you announce it like...
Strangely confident for this one. Maybe it’s because we finally get to see the defence at full strength and it has been improving every week,...
We don’t need to let anyone vital go next year if we don’t want to, the cap isn’t as bad as it seems right now. Ogbah, Baker and X won’t see...
[MEDIA]
This game is far too important, this is the chance to get a tie breaker on the Chiefs for #1 in the AFC. If they are taking Armstead to Germany...
Yet people failed to mention this Tua’s first 2 seasons when he was throwing to guys who got zero separation behind a historically bad OL that...
It’s not even elite QB standard that is used against Tua, it’s some made up perfect standard. Maybe it’s all the perfect games that Tua has played...
The problem for Hill to win MVP is that Tua is on track to throw for 4830 yards and 36 TD’s with a 108 passer rating. I don’t see how Tua doesn’t...
Fix is in boys, 6-2 after today.
McCorkle giving out gifts by holding the ball for no reason. Miami leaving the middle wide open when that’s all they want to throw.
Turnovers are really starting to hurt now.
Well that is not how you want to start the 2nd half.
Had what feels like a few makeup calls from the NFL this week. Tua looking like a standard NFL QB today instead of a HOF’er so I’m expecting the...
Ramsey is playing, X is out though.
Ramsey is playing, Connor is back but X and Jevon are out. Defence should be better this week I hope with Apple not being asked to cover #1...
Yeah the bots got most of them and then the bot owners resell at inflated prices. Complete nightmare trying to get tickets to anything online...
No one was ever going to work in that offence with a historically bad OL and throwing to guys that got zero separation and zero YAC. The fact that...
That would be over 8ypc, a wildly successful day. If they run the ball that well then the game will be a comfortable victory.
Did you not managed to get a ticket before all the bots got them? I remember going to Wembley back in 2007 for the Dolphins Giants game, my one...
Not sure how it complicates anything. We knew before the season start that you can bring 8 players back from IR after they have missed 4 games on...
And a lot of those people who refused to take Tua's situation and supporting cast into account are now trying to defend Herbert by saying his...
Tua didn't need salvaging, what we see now is what he has always been. It's what people like Trent Dilfer have been saying all along. What Tua...
I think this game will be a lot closer than some here think, I can't see the Dolphins covering that 9.5 spread. Injuries are starting to mount up,...
I heard him say that but I think he is covering for Waddle.
It wasn't a bad decision, it was a bad throw off of his back foot. [IMG] https://i.ibb.co/ph5YMtg/Mostert.png As you can see Mostert has the LB...
I was actually very encouraged by the defensive performance. The front were able to put pressure on Hurts and they held the running game in check...
It's a McDaniel thing imho. He does actually care about the health of the players, doesn't want to injure them more and feels next man up should...
I get we can criticise Ross for some things (especially the tampering) but he wants to win. He's never been afraid to write big cheques for...
This is huge, Dolphins are just too banged up and key positions for this game. Need Eich to have the game of his life.
