Separate names with a comma.
I can never understand the excessive force thing. If the situation is under control, why beat the hell out of someone?
Fitzpatrick said the offense is easier to learn, but it's hard for defenses to figure out what's going on. However, I am not the guy to tell you why.
It's my nature to be hopeful. However, we have just been too inconsistent over the years, so if someone has concerns over our OL or a lineman we...
Nice read! Any ideas on who we have that will be able to play cover-1, at a high level, for us?

I agree. We are talking QB here, so I don't think we should rush to get a late-round pick either. Rosen has the physical tools. It's probably the...
Yeah, this is a tough one for me since I never had to learn a playbook. What is the best way to go about it? Is it the material or the method?
For me, jerseys are a must when I hit the sports bar. It makes it easy to see the others who I have something in common with, and those that I...
I can't believe how popular Tua jerseys are. I work weekends, but one day I may be back in the sports bars on Sundays watching the game and I...
Well said! Even though I know we REALLY needed a LT in the draft, part of me wanted us to take Lamb if the Cowboys passed on him. As much as I...
Yesterday, I watched last years Dolphins vs. the Colts. Hoyer was the Colts QB. Needless to say, there is a reason why he isn't on the Colts team...

Really? I didn't know that. Sweet!
I agree that those other positions that you listed are important, too. However, for me, it's like TE, you give me a stud at slot CB and I am one...

What are ya'lls thoughts on X? Will this be his last year as a Dolphin? I know we value CBs, but what if Igbinoghene, or another guy really comes...
With us picking Tua he's a guy that's easy to overlook. I am pretty happy with the pick now that I have learned more about him. Here's a nice blog...
Byron Jones played safety early on in his career, so I wonder how Flores is going to use him. I am guessing most likely it will be at CB, however,...
Never thought about it like that. Cool idea.
The regular white one, or the throw back?
I am excited about our new additions, too. If we could afford him, I would like to see us add Larry Warford (OG) FA from the Saints. He should...
I am with you on this. I see a slow start for every team, but for teams like ours who have to learn a new offensive system, I think it may take...
Sorry. Please try now. I enjoy the sound of the ukulele. I know it's nothing special, but to me, it just seems fun.

I am not sure if Cole or Wilson fits in this category or not, but I always love it when a guy plays faster on the field ( like Jerry Rice) than...
Part of me agrees with you, and the other, less sensible, part wants to see him play for totally selfish reasons. :-)
Here's a nice one with Saban talking about Tua on youtube. I love this stuff. [MEDIA]
Isn't Solomon Kindley our version of a Sumo? :tongue: EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I am excited that we drafted him.
I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I really wanted to share it in case someone hasn't seen it yet. This isn't necessarily football...
She's probably trying to get you to go back to work. Do you think the Navy will take a guy back at our age? If so, I would probably go. :-)

Sorry, like I said, he kind of bungled the year. Maybe he meant the year after that.
You know, I need to quit being so selfish. I mean, if down the road, I look back on this draft and all I can say is this is where we got Tua, our...
What I like is all the added competition for our guys who weren't getting it done last year. Hopefully, it will raise the bar for everyone...
Sadly, I don't think he is.
Yep, that is what I would say, too. Not great, not bad. It wasn't flashy, but we added some cornfed that will hopefully help our OL, which was my...

Off-topic a little bit, but I have to say having a boatload of picks made this draft a lot of fun. I hope we never see drafts again were we only...
Thanks. Not that it matters now, but I did not know that. Tua's our guy, and I am on board 100%!
LOL! Damn, where the heck have I been. Thanks for helping me out.
Well, John Denny has been very good for us, but he can't play forever.
Say what? We picked already?
I just deleted it. I was trying to be funny and I didn't pull it off very well. My bad. It was more about bringing back the magic that #13 has for...
LOL! You do realize I wasn't really being serious.
Gave up our 5th and a 7th (227) to trade up for Weaver
Curtis Weaver
Were you the one who wanted us to trade for him?
Did we just give up that one 5th rounder?
Traded pick to SF. Is it one for next year?
on the clock
I am okay with that next year. I think there is more urgency this year, especially now that we got Tua.
Yes, while true, not investing any resources gets us the same ole, same ole.
I was hoping for Simpson, so maybe when he went before us, they figured they better trade up and get Kindley. Not sure how he will be, but I am...
Kindley has a lot of bad weight. It's going to take a while to turn that into good weight, but if he can, maybe he has a chance. He seems to have...
I know his nickname is because he used to be a lifeguard, but when I just watched his highlights his belly was bouncing so much it reminded me of...
Me likey!!!!
I would like to see us trade up to the top of round 4. It probably won't happen because it's likely a coveted position to be in right now as Eason...
Cool! Thanks! I read that he was projected to go on day 3. That's the problem with draft guides. If someone puts too much stock in them, they will...
Man, I was thinking about Ballage yesterday when we kept passing on all those RBs. I don't understand what they see in the guy. He has no vision....
I hope Hunt can displace Davis at RT. Not trying to get us off-topic, but can Davis cut it as RG? I am not really feeling it. Also, I can see the...
I think patience will be needed with a lot of our picks. No doubt, other than Tua, our draft isn't flashy. I am one of those that have said for a...
Damn! There went Gibson!
Damn! I really wanted Dillon!
He's a little grabby, but no one is saying he's a finished product.
I was kind of thinking that too after I read this. I like that he can play in both an even or odd front. The leverage he has even at his height...
[sigh] another 10 commercials. LOL
The pick will probably be some guy none of us are thinking about, LOL.
With our next pick, or in the 3rd?
Great! I like em mean. It's a man's game in the trenches. We don't need to draft any of those wusses as we did with Jonathan Martin (cringe!).
Man, I got my timing off and didn't realize it started. Just finished watching an episode of Game of Thrones, turned on the tube and saw we were...
I agree with you !00% on this!
I definitely like the idea of going with Cleveland. Consider what's left at tackle, would we have to use pick 39 on him?
Talking 2nd round RBs. Who would you want between these two? Swift or Taylor?
Not that we can with all of our CBs, but I think we are looking for guys who can be DBs. It wasn't Fitzpatrick's cup of tea, but if it were me, I...
Yep. That's me, I admit, I am a homer. I am also a big Flores fan, and I am sure that this pick was a Flores pick. He spent time with the dude,...
Not true. Read up on our defense and how much we play in the nickel. The 3rd CB needs to be as good as the outside guys. He's raw, but in time, he...
There ya go! Thank you! Have you read up on Noah? I wasn't sure about him at first. I didn't even know who he was, but after reading up on him...
LOL! I was watching a segment on us drafting Tua, on youtube, with Skip Bayless, and I was like, oops this was a mistake.
To be fair? Yes, we had a losing season if you look at our record. However, if you actually SEE with your eyes then there are a lot of things to...
Just wondering dude, how long are you going to be having your temper tantrum? I mean, are you ever going to get on board and support Tua or are...
Nice write up, Key! I was with you in that I was (am) concerned about Tua's health. That said, I couldn't have said it better and I am on board...
Ole stone hands. Well at least he gets the break up. :closedeyes:
Who's on your wish list for tonight? We are starting with 2 picks. It will be interesting to see if we make any trades. Edit: That should be 3...
Here's one for ya. I didn't see this before the draft. [ATTACH]
Fair assessment. However, we had to draft for need. Maybe next year we can go BPA all the way. We have a lot of holes to fill, so in a way, I am...
We may not, and if we move on from Howard it's because his injuries are keeping him off the field. He is making big bucks, but he can't help the...
It takes two to tango. Cinci didn't want to dance. No matter how much you want to, you can't force a team to trade with you. It doesn't make sense...
It's important to keep things in context. We made the Tunsil trade because it was too good to pass up and we wanted to acquire more picks to trade...
Huh? Hindsight is 20/20. Too bad Fitzpatrick was being a punk. If you want to blame someone, blame him for forcing a trade.
No doubt, but I wouldn't call it dumb. Don't we still have another 1st and a 2nd to use in 2021? We have to add those in too. Besides, Fitzpatrick...
Good point about their age. One thing that I heard about Noah after we drafted him is that he is very competitive. In addition to his skill set, I...
Yep. I slept on it and I am fine with it. I don't believe in giving grades, so you won't get any of that from me. I did find myself falling into...
Alright dude, call it. :-)
Is it RB time?
We got a low 4th (30)
I know, right? I wanted Lamb, then Ruiz. Sheesh!
Is it me or does Warner and the commish look lit?
QB? Check LT? Check Is it safe to say the board is wide open here on out for BPA? Personally, I would like Ruiz at 26, but I can see value in...
What do ya'll think of Queen at #18? I think he's gonna be a heck of a LB.
Some of you guys are cracking me up!
No doubt. He's a very good GM, IMO.
Kinlaw is gone. Who do you like between the others? Lamb is the highest-rated.
It will be interesting to see how we address the LT position. We may have to go with Cleveland as 2 cents has suggested.
I can respect that. My hope is that we sit him for a year. He should be in great shape, know the playbook, and be ready to go by year 2. That's...
I was going to guess it was something Saban said. I know coaches will want to sell their players to a degree, but I think Saban would be honest...
Well, I wasn't sold on Tua either, but he's a Dolphin now, so I am gonna root for him (not saying you are not). As far as our front office is...
Dude, get a grip. You didn’t get your way. It is what it is. We will be okay.
I wouldn’t give up any picks. I think we can get a decent OT with #18 or #26.
Ok. Let’s go Tua!
Call it! I say we go LT.
Cool. I think we are ok at #5.
Do we trade with giants to lock it, or risk a another team jumping us?
Whew...
Lol at the boos
Damn, I just realized the Bengals are not even on the clock, right? Let’s go already!
Nice opening by Payton!
It probably won’t happen, but since the first two picks are locks the teams should just send their picks in. I hate waiting the 10 minutes when...
LOL! I am taking antibiotics or I would be, too. :-)
I agree the price is too high. Especially, if you consider the difference between that and what Tua, a LT at #18, etc. could give us. That said,...
That's the big question, isn't it? I am not qualified to answer, maybe some are and can chime in, but is Burrow worth trading the farm over?...
It could be just BS, but I think the Dolphins do think Burrow is a franchise guy. I have got to hand it to em. They're doing their best to try and...
FYI: Armando posted this on his twitter. I thought I would pass it along. I tried to clean it up a bit, but it's still a little blurry. Sorry...
Hmmm, I don't get why we are trading up?
Chaulk me up as one of those that isn't doing anything special. It will be my daughter and me (with my lucky pectoral fin) watching on the tube...
[ATTACH] I would be very surprised if we could pull this off. However, if we got Eason in the 3rd, rebuilt our OL with 3 quality O-linemen, CEH...
No. I don't really have a college team, and although I did grow up in the Northeast, I currently live in central Florida. Like you, I was just...
LOL! I hear ya. It's a shame our OL is in such bad shape. I can imagine the hue and cry over our picks if we took 2 LT in round 1 and an OG in the...
I would be stoked with Ruiz, plus he is from Michigan, so that will make Ross happy. ;-)
How do you see our OL potentially shaping up? Tentatively I have the following. I put Flowers at LG because that is where he played last year when...
Considering what you said about their love affair, I like the part where if Tua is there at #5 we take him, if not, we go another direction. That...
Damn, based on what you have said over the years, I always thought you were an older gentleman, but I didn't realize you were back in the Navy...
Not sure about these days, but there was a time where Gil Brandt knew what he was talking about.
LOL! OK, Let's find ourselves a star QB. I am all about trading for Watson myself... Grier, make it happen!
I like a lot of things about Ross, but his meddling isn't one of them.
[fingers crossed]
While I generally agree with you, and I could be wrong, but I think it's in a coach's nature to think they can coach a guy up. It wouldn't...
No guarantees. I just said Simmons, but I would be okay if we took another guy like one of the top LTs. People will complain, but we did get more...
I feel more confident with Grier, and his decision making, now that he has surrounded himself with Allen, McKenzie, and Flores. Things seem to be...
Yeah, I am excited, but I have to definitely temper my expectations. I will probably come away disappointed, but that is my problem. I expect too...
Remember when we screwed the pooch on Dion Jordan. I would say the miss hurt us pretty bad. With his suspensions and average play, he was pretty...
FYI: I was hoping with the situation they would start the draft earlier on Thursday and Friday. However, they kept the times the same. It will...
Everybody wants to come to Miami! Love it!
This doesn't mean he will or will not make it in the NFL, but I think what I like best about Tua is his quick release and accuracy.
https://www.sportingcharts.com/dictionary/nfl/redshirt.aspx
Somebody (probably including me) isn't going to be happy come draft day. ;-)
RS- I would say it means Red Shirt. Also, I agree with you. We need to protect the QB.
Thanks! What do you think about Gailey's style? Is his offense current and a good match against the defenses of today, or are we looking at...
If you had to choose, which one would you want from this draft, a top LB or a top WR?
There is a difference. It's all about on-field production. If Parker was productive then that wouldn't have been an issue to me. Take someone like...
I would be happy with a lot of these guys. However, if I had to pick one, after reading about what Zierlein says about him, I would go with Henry...
I was down on Parker before this last year. I questioned his commitment and love for the game. I often wondered if Sponge Bob was more important...
What's funny is I just read on PFF that they think we should be the team to trade up with Detroit. They said the price would be only our #39 pick....
The word was a few weeks ago we would have to trade up for Tua. I can only hope Grier stands pat at #5. If we take him then, OK. I will have to...
I like what you did there by emphasizing versatility. Cleveland could be a swing tackle, and Hunt a G/RT. Also, I read that Cleveland is best...
Nice thread! Considering who we have on the roster, what WR would be your top choice for the Dolphins?
I included the broad jump above because I thought it might be a good indicator of a player's leg strength, their ability to break tackles, and...
I can't wait for the draft. I am trying not to get my heart set on anyone, but I hope I am not too disappointed. As you said, we probably will...
No worries, dude. I encourage it. Especially these days. Life is too short.
Yikes! I am hoping we are able to make a trade and get an additional high-round pick for next year.
#5) Simmons (LB/Big Nickel) #18) Love (Developmental QB) #26) Austin Jackson (LT) #39) Jonathan Taylor (RB) #56) Lloyd Cushenberry (C)
I created a chart using stats that I thought might be helpful with comparing PFF's top 10 RB's and AJ Dillon (one of my personal favorites). I...
On a PFT segment with Florio/Simms, they speculated it would take three 1st (including the 1 & 5 swaps) and a 2nd to trade up to the top spot. It...
What I like about this year's draft is we really have a chance to add some very good players. It's a good year to have so many picks. If we came...
I learned today, from a youtube PFT segment, that teams could talk with any player up to 1 hour, three days a week. Usually, I think when they...
Reading that stuff about not succeeding off-script is very concerning. Is that what Rosen's problem is?
Hmmm...is this some sort of circular reasoning? ;-)
I was watching Todd McShay's draft 4.0 on youtube and Louis Riddick said that when it comes to those teams with a high pick it is their job to...
I am not much of a fan either because I don't like how he gets all bent out of shape when a team picks a guy higher than where he has him valued....
I hope whoever we draft will take Fitzpatrick's example and be fairly aggressive with those runs. It's important to get others involved to develop...
LOL! I could be addressing a lot of ya'll as, " Oh Great One". It's probably the way we will go, but what the heck, why not try and have a little...
Anyone up for a friendly wager on which QB we think the Dolphins will take? I am going to officially go on record (which means I will put my pick...
Today, and I realize this may not be popular, but I am really okay with whoever we draft at #5 as long as we don't trade up. It could be Burrow,...
Bucky has Tua rated #1, so that carries some weight with me. I have always liked his evaluations.
Time will tell...
Big O's gut feeling about Miami's direction with 5th pick... I have to say. I don't always agree with him, but I like his thinking here! I mean...
Burrow reminds you of Andy Dalton? Yikes!
I agree! We don't have to force it. If there is not a franchise QB to be had this year build the team with BPA and let's roll with Fitzpatrick. As...
I am starting my want list for picks #18 and #26. As 2 cents pointed out, I am not trying to get my heart set on anyone, but it's a little slow...
Looking at the data, I can understand why people like Tua. Yes, he had a lot of talent around him and had decent time to throw the ball, etc.,...
I did another chart using data from the PFF draft guide. I am not sure why their attempts and completion numbers do not match the actual numbers...
I wouldn't go that far. IMO, Tua isn't a bad person. He didn't volunteer information that could hurt his draft position. Would you tell a...
I keep wondering if we should do something like this. The question I have is, besides Burrow, are any of these QBs a real difference-maker?
Thank you! I know you are familiar with this sort of thing, so that's why I asked. I appreciate the insight!
This is where I am probably being naive, but in this situation wouldn't the relationship between Lambardi and the GMs factor in? Would they...
How would you all feel about PFF's latest... 3) Tua 18) Josh Jones (OT) 39) Swift (RB) 56) Isaiah Wilson (OT) 70) Josh Uche (edge/Lb)...
Thanks for your thoughts! How do you view the RB position? Does it have as much value as WR? So for discussion purposes, at #18 or #26, would it...
I have seen some mocks on NFL.com where we take either Tua or Burrow at #5. That takes care of QB, but how about our LT? We definitely need one of...
Nice writeup! I like that staying at #5 part, which means we will trade up and give away valuable picks. ;-)
Honestly, dude, that is the way I think it should be. This isn't a courtroom. After reading your thoughts I went back and read up on Mims more....
I appreciate the thoughts. I love that we can actually have a discussion.
Not counting Tua, but I would be stoked if we drafted Mims AND Dillon.
I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I have a question: If we do take Tua, what would be the best way to help his transition into the...
Good point. However, I think getting a franchise QB is all luck anyway. Guys taken in the top 10 don't always work out, and guys taken later don't...
I hear you! Part of me would be okay with them going team first and waiting on our QB until we have addressed our glaring needs, such as the OL....
I'll be honest. I wasn't sure about the Flores hire, good or bad. I was hopeful, but I didn't know much about him. When I learned more about him...
I wish they did lowlights, too. That way, we could see where a QB might need some work. That said, Hurts sure does make things look easy, doesn't...
Using data from PFF's draft guide I did a quick table on their grades. I realize some people don't put much stock in their analysis, but it might...
So, what are some of ya'll saying? Hold at #5 and if Tua isn't there wait and grab Hurts in round 2? P.S. Not asking Alex or Unlucky. I know Alex...
Great analysis! I am struggling with this QB thing. I go back and forth and wonder how much QB do we need? By that, I mean, is just good enough,...
While I am waiting for Baldur's Gate 3 to come out, I am playing Pillars of Eternity 2 on the PC. For what it is, I am enjoying it.
Damn! This one had me choking on my coffee! LOL! Be careful with the word workarounds because they go by the book here, too. I was in the Navy...
Herbert is a distant 3rd and with his grade should be starter within 2 years. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Reading between the lines, Herbert is probably...
The next highest-rated QB is Rosen. [ATTACH] As we can see, he was rated as a year 1 quality starter. [ATTACH] This is where I think there are...
Just as a comparison, I pulled Zierlien's prospect evaluation for Tua (6.82), Rosen (6.70), and Herbert (6.45) from NFL.com. For ease, I will...
It's not that I don't want a QB, it's that I don't want to trade the farm for a game manager. We already have that in Fitzpatrick (whom I think is...
Well, I am not saying it's the end all be all, but he knows a lot more than I do. Forgive me for being ignorant. I don't have the experience or...
I haven't really joined in on the Tannehill question as of late. I will say that in the past I have been critical of his pocket presence and that...
I am just curious if anyone would be ok with taking another player at #5 rather than a QB. My first thought would be to take Simmons because he is...
Especially since I am guessing our offense won't be the massive air attack where we consistently outscore the other team. We will probably pass...
With respect, I don't agree. I am not saying that base talent and skill don't play a major role, but I think coaching and system fit have a lot to...
Let you tell it! I agree. On paper, I think Grier has done a pretty good job so far. I sure hope he is serious about building up the trenches. I...
One thing I like about our team is we look everywhere for talent. I probably can't name them all, but over the years we have signed some gems. Cam...
It's not only his injury history. If it was just that I would feel a little better about it believe it or not. What got me is what Simms said as...
Damn, that's some crazy stuff right there not having access to a proper gym and all. Not saying anything is wrong about it. Just the times that we...
Well...I am not too proud to change my mind. I think Simms makes a very good point about Tua and his fragility. I think back to Tannehill and how...
For some reason, the QBs in this draft has me thinking back to the draft with Manning and Leaf. I found this on wikipedia. To be clear, I am not...
I had the exact same symptom as you Key. The tightness in my chest is coming and going. One day, like today, I feel great. Then it tries to come...
And, for at me at least, I am happy with Fitzpatrick as our veteran QB right now. He can hold down the fort until the rook is ready for extended...
This is where it gets tricky and I don't know the answer. Comparing the two, who is a more natural football player? Who understands defenses...
I am hoping Grier doesn't turn back into the Dolphins of old where we grossly overpay for underachieving FA and totally ruin our cap. Teams are...
I know we have signed some decent guys and I am naturally excited about all of them because I think they all can contribute. After reading up on...
This has been out a while, but in case you haven't seen it here is a nice segment talking about the Dolphins off-season moves. A common theme is...

Considering how important, most of us are saying it is, to get an elite QB, what does it say about Burrow IF the Bengals are willing to trade him...
All the pre-draft hype and analysis has me thinking that getting Tua at #5 will be a bargain, LOL. Most, add a disclaimer, like if Tua passes...
IMO, he's good now but is going to be much, much better after Flores gets a hold of him. I think he has a way of bringing out the best in guys....
I think getting an elite QB is a hard thing to do. At this point, I have no idea if Burrow, Tua, Herbert, or Love could be or someone else will be...
I agree with ya'll. However, I think Howard, and the rookie RB we will most likely draft, can get it done. He may not have breakaway speed, but as...
I know I said that, but I am not sure if I am correct on this or not. You would think that they would ask for all 3 1sts, but that may be...
True. Something else, I should have considered is that GM's want to keep a good working relationship with other GMs. There will be discussion, and...
My fear is the asking price for us will be higher because we have the extra picks. With other teams, they can't ask for something they don't have....
When it comes to safety, I was pulling for Aikens to turn the corner, but unfortunately, he could never manage it. I don't blame the Dolphins for...
Good points! My bad. I thought we were better.
...Is Mike Hunt here?...Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?... LOL
I understand why he left, but damn, I sure wish Rizzi was still coaching our special teams unit. Not saying Crossman is horrible. He did design...
I am curious. Why would we share this information, right now, with the public?
LOL! Classic! Well said!
After watching that segment on Roberts I want to run through somebody's [beeeeeeeeeep] face!
Which new player has you the most excited?
I would be cool with Clyde E-H, Dobbins, or A.J. Dillon ( who I hope will slim down if we draft him and add some quickness).
Damn, dude. You're on a roll. Nicely put!
I am really excited because as you said about Flores in another thread he has a way of getting the best out of guys.
I love that they are addressing special teams, too. So far, I am very impressed with how Grier, Flores, and the player personnel team are handling...
Also, for what it's worth...
I think no one is really saying that unless Grier and company really think he can be the guy in time. I have heard he has a low floor and a high...
Not that we don't need to make good choices with all of our picks, but there is no doubt we have to make a GREAT choice at #5 (or higher). We have...
I haven't been able to keep up with everybody, but what is your take on QB? Trade up for Tua, or let it ride at #5 and see if he or Herbert drops?...
I am not keen on giving up picks this year, so I would offfer X in a Detroit or Redskin trade up scenario if they can handle his salary. The...
Agree, but I think it's still a good strategy and I am all for it. We just haven't built our core yet. If we manage to get any offers, I am also...
LOL!
Oops. I was talking about #5. Sorry about that. I have since corrected what I was asking.
Using the top 5 prospects from NFL.com, what would you all think about us taking one of these blue-chippers below at #5 and then using one of our...
I just don’t want us to get fleeced.
A team can’t give what they don’t have, but since we have them won’t they ask for them?
Nice thoughts. If it's me, I am going QB at #5 and then trading back at 1:18 AND 1:26 for more picks unless one of my targeted players is there....
Dude, I apologize for not keeping up with your thoughts on this or anyone else’s, but if we stick at #5, if Burrow and Tua are both gone are you...
Does that 20-25% chance of being a franchise QB only apply to Tua or can we say that other QBs we might select in the top 5 like Herbert or Love...
Not that I disagree with you, but let's say we sit at #5 and the big 3 ( Burrow, Tua, and Herbert) go before we pick. What would you do now? What...
I realize this is out in left field, but I wonder if the Redskins will do what the Cardinals did and go QB at #2 and then try and trade Haskins. I...
Also, don't we usually just keep 2 QB's during the season? Now, if we bring in a guy who forces us, through his play, to keep a 3rd, then I am all...
I think everything should be considered. We have to hit on this draft. We can propel ourselves towards relevancy, or continue to stay a bottom feeder.
Thanks for that. And now for our local weather, Angie?...
Good question. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the key to long term success is to start with a so-called franchise level QB. One could argue...
That's my question, too. Which of the QB's have the IT factor this year, Burrow and Tua? Below is a comparison of stats between the big 3 and...
OK. Got it the first time, chief. [Hand Salute]
I know the guy has like 100 kids or something, but South Beach, dude, South Beach. Seriously, though, we are a team on the rise and he's a dude...
When I heard the Chargers and Rivers were gonna split, I was thinking about what if we paired him up with Fitzpatrick. That way, we wouldn’t be...
Not sure, but I think the going rate for a pick traded this year is a pick one round higher next year. If that is true, depending on the...
I haven't done much research, but so far I support those mocks who have Tua and Cushenberry (C). Obviously, we are going to take an OT also, so...
This, PLUS build a quality OL that will do a decent job of protecting him that can also open up some holes for the running game. Please no...
All I can say is I hope we can get Tua at #5. I would trade up for him, but I don't like the idea of getting fleeced by the Lions. If it's...
Not sure how the love for Tua is overblown. When it comes to what’s between his ears, he has the IT factor not to mention his accuracy and...
That's the one guy I don't want.
I have said it before and I will say it again. We should take LOVE at 5 if Tua isn't available. That way he can sit a season and learn behind...
Too bad KB isn't around. I believe he's an orthopedic surgeon. Maybe he could clarify.
Wow! What an interesting discussion on whether Burrow should force his way out of going to the Bengals. I can see both sides. That's a tough one, LOL!
I just finished listening to Travis’s latest podcast, on the way to work, and after listening to him I feel alright about things.
I'm going to let things play out and see how things go before I start worrying about it. We have a long, long way to go in turning this franchise...
Me too. I like Flores and I think our players respect and like him, too. I am putting a lot of trust in him and think he can turn this thing around.
I am glad we took Wilkins. A sort of funny story: On draft day when we took Wilkins, I was like, OK solid pick. I like it. Later on, when my...
You and me, both. Either Tua at #5, or Love later on. I am guessing Love will climb up the draft boards, but I am hopeful we could get him later...
Sounds good to me. I'm not going to overthink it. If we could pull it off I would be happy because at one point I was advocating selling the farm...
I think I said in another post that even though I was disappointed, I was hopeful and that my optimism was down a notch or two. Generally, I am a...
I am guessing here, but I think Flores has a way with guys like Parker. I am glad he has responded and can’t wait to see what he can do next year...
I get the concern about having to play Fitzpatrick next year and don't fault anyone wanting us to draft a QB so we can anoint him our next...
On the surface, I am disappointed with the Gailey hire. Unless he was specifically brought in for Fitzpatrick, I don’t understand why we would do...
Damn! And here I thought, before yesterday, that we were finally heading in the right direction! That will teach me about feeling optimistic. The...
Please excuse my ignorance, but what I don't get is why did Schuplinski come here in the first place? If he likes it here why do we need to worry...
I hope we address the o-line early. However, I realize that in order for us to play the defense we want to then we will need to address DB/ CB a...
What I liked is he got open and caught the ball. He did his job and made the most of his opportunities. Sure, he is probably a role player going...
Fitz is funny!!! Love this!!!!! [MEDIA]
Just watched the game. Say what you will, but like I have said before I think our best plan of action for next season is to let Fitzpatrick start...
Talent will probably prevail but chalk this one up as a moral victory and a lesson to us about finishing strong even though we don't come away...
Do you take issue with the players or the position they play?
I like RPGs and am currently playing Pillars of Eternity with the White Marsh expansion. It's dated, but so far, it's been a pretty fun game with...
I would be on board with that. I think we should keep Fitzpatrick another year, so we can sit the QB we draft (Tua, Love?) a year to learn.
No doubt, I am concerned with Grier at the helm. I am tired of the misses. We have heard many times that we struck it rich! Then later, we realize...
I blame him. I have a problem with players (and coworkers) who aren't team players. He didn't want to be here and play where the coaches wanted...
100% agree! Off-topic a bit: I am probably a little weird, but I pick my friends based on how kind they are, not how smart they are or what they...
LOL! I can relate because I totally suck at spelling. As long as we know what the poster is trying to convey, right?
I like his fire! I wish my bosses defended me and my co-workers with the same passion. Sometimes things are so busy we end up getting our...
They are suggesting the best move for Love is for him to transfer to another college program next year and if it's the right school he has the...
I am not advocating breaking the bank like we did with Suh, but if the arrow is pointing up for the Dolphins and players like playing for Flores...
I was just thinking the same thing. We need to learn how to make chicken salad out of... Other teams do. Look at the Ravens. I am always hoping...
I want us to try and win out. IMO, team culture is more important than a higher draft pick.
I know we need a QB, but my hope is we don’t force it.
It pains me to say this, but with Tua’s injuries I don’t think there is a sure fire franchise QB in this draft. So, if that is the case we...
I think the key for our next QB is that not only is he smart, he is football smart. Whether we take him in round 1 or get him in a trade, or FA....
Good points!
LOL! Dude, you're killing me. Life is too short. Enjoy the ride.
I don't get into predicting wins or losses, but I am definitely into the team chemistry thing.
How can a fan liking a HC or player be detrimental to the team? It doesn’t matter who we like or dislike nor what our opinions are. Sure, it’s...
lol!
I know we haven't had much luck with Rosen, but do you feel this coaching staff and the system they bring can have success with a QB a notch below...
Are you thinking our franchise QB will be from the 2021 draft?
Nothing against Rowe, but how come when we extend someone I start feeling a little queasy? ;-)
Definitely a good game. Now that we have some games under our belt. What do you think of coach Flores and our coaching staff?
I wonder who the one guy or gal is who voted for Herbert? Is TBum a member of the site? Me? I just voted for Love only because Burrow may be gone...
I like Grant and had high hopes for him at WR. However, I agree. Especially after seeing the productivity of Parker and Williams. It seems like we...
I agree with them both, LOL. I want a kick *** OL that can pass block and run block, and I want a legit QB who can handle the pressure (very good...
I haven't totally given up on Rosen because I know how hard he and the coaching staff are working; however, from what I have seen so far I have my...
Considering his strategy this year, is it safe to say that this off-season (FA and Draft) will make or break Grier's career? No doubt, it's going...
I agree. We have to try and get our QB this season. However, for me, before I was in the sell the farm and do everything we can do to get a...
Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce our way, so I am not saying we won't draft a QB this year, but depending on who we get, we may be looking for...
Although we will probably draft a QB, I don't think the Dolphins have given up on Rosen. Armando has an interesting article about how Rosen is...
So...the big question is, did any QB sway your opinion of them after this game? Happy with Tua? Happy with Burrow? Happy with either? Happy with...
As it should be. IMO, team culture is everything. This whole rebuild thing could have been avoided IF Grier would have taken my boy Lamar Jackson...
It’s not a situation of end all, be all but I am definitely looking forward to this match up.
Damn, I am getting concerned now that we won a game. Happy with the win, but I fear with other teams being as bad, or worse than we are, we won't...
Nice video. Happy for Flores and the team.
I agree. He was underused and I don't blame him for not wanting to resign. It's a case of you don't want me, so I don't want you, and NOW you come...
In this situation, I would say Drake is highly motivated. It's one game. Let's see what happens over the rest of the season.
I don't know about the attitude part, but it did seem to me that he was like Ajayi in that he liked to bounce it outside a lot. Maybe the coaches...
I agree. That's why I also think we need to make building the OL a priority and stop treating the squad like they are an afterthought.
I haven't watched any Alabama (or any college games) this year so I don't know how Tua is playing either. My hope with any QB we draft is he has...
WADR, we can’t keep making that mistake again, and again, and again. The QB does matter and is the most important, imo. I am all for building a...
I like this part...
I hear ya, but I think we need to consider OL play as generally the same for all when considering QB play. These days they are all feeling the...
I was pleasantly surprised by the 1st half. Thought we were making some progress there. The 2nd half smacked us in the face. That's okay with me...
Since there is no guarantee that we will pick #1, I am happy to see others emerge like Joe Burrow.
I appreciate you passing along the info. Time will tell. Obviously, I am a nobody and don't have any inside sources, but I have a hard time...
LOL, but if we are going to win a game this season this may be it. We usually have the Chargers number. They seem to be a team that will overlook...
You make some good points. I am still trying to get educated on who I like for the Dolphins and welcome all views, popular or not. On the way to...
Are you saying that you don't think we will go QB with the 1st pick because we have Rosen?
Is it bad play calling or did the defense adjust to the mass project scheme we are forced to deploy? I mean, there are only so many plays you can...
I think I heard Flores say he is going to start taking his TNT wall to the games. ;-)
I liked TJ Watt over Harris too. The point I was getting at is Grier seems to rely on the input from our coach's as much as any, so naturally,...
I am interested to see what the prototypes will be for this coaching staff and IF Grier can find guys to fit them.
Maybe Fitzpatrick is banged up.
Taco might need a little hot sauce to spice things up and get it going, but at this rate, why not a flyer on him and see if he is a better fit in...
I am being selfish and don't want to spend more than one #1 on a QB. Ideally, I hope when it shakes out the draft has at least a 1a and a 1b QB to...
Taking what cbrad said about the difficulties of securing the #1 pick, I am concerned about what we will do (or be forced to do) if a team or two...
What do you think of Flores so far, Carmen?
I don't know and could be wrong, but I think Grier is going to change up his draft strategy this time around. I see us being more proactive by...
Maybe we will trade a pick or two for better picks in the following draft. I think the compensation is a round higher the following year. That way...
Thanks for bringing up to date ya’ll. I know it's still feeble, but who has the offense performing better Fitzpatrick or Rosen?
Starting from the day free agency begins at the end of our season, the two things I will judge Grier on are: 1) The QB we draft 2) Whether he is...
Had to work and didn't get a chance to watch it. Then to compound that, I had internet trouble when I got home. Were we competitive? Did...
I agree and I am not trying to say we are loaded with talent. However, I do think we left a lot of plays ( defensively and offensively) on the...
I hope we see this translate on the field with some strong play. No only with Bake, but other guys too. Who are we as a team? Are we going to take...
You were correct with your initial assessment of Minkah and the situation. However, I disagree the team (Flores and players) are not trying to...
I think we will take a drubbing but, I will consider it a moral victory if we don't lose by more than 20 points. :-)
100% wrong? Ok. Gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
The culture is only toxic because guys like Fitzpatrick are tapping out after playing poorly and getting their asses whooped. I am not defending...
I am actually saddened to read that tweet from Wharton regarding the position Minkah is playing. I wonder if Minkah's attitude about the situation...
He's in the league just for the money and only wants to play a position where he will shine and eventually get paid. If he loved football, you...
