Merry Christmas Galant.

He's entertaining, but I would rather see him run less with the season all but in the tank. Going forward I would rather see another back split...

In a NY minute.

I used to think that way, but it has become such a passing league, ie: a QB league, with the rule changes from around 2005, that getting a very...

Me too, Rack, but I think he is about average, maybe a wee bit above (just outside of the top 10 down to maybe 15). This year I do appreciate him...

I had 3 games recorded to watch later. I just turned that game off and deleted them. No point in watching this league IMO. So I'm going to learn...

From the NFL rulebook: "“If the ball touches the ground AFTER the player secures control of it, it is a catch, provided that the player continues...

He sets Goodell's salary. He has been on the compensation committee for many years. Goodell makes more than every player and should top the...

I agree with your reasoning. If that was not a TD they need to go back and tale a whole lot of TD's off the board for many years, because how...

Kind of to be expected though wasn't it? I was interested to see if anything might change and the Dolphins might put up a pair of good...

Anyone see the TD the jets had taken away early in the year? Austin Sefarian-Jenkins reached across the front corner of the end zone for a TD but...

Back in the late 80's, the last time I had to get psyched to play in games, I always set aside a little time to listen to side 1 of Iron Maiden's...

Nice job! I wouldn't mind seeing one just based on the Monday night game if you are looking for reasons to do more vids.

Here's my discussion. Play like we did Monday and we will beat their asses.

One thing that occurs to me when reading that, is that the Dolphins are apparently happy to know they have a professional in Landry now (possibly,...

I think the TD's will more than off set his lower YPC. He's not really a guy that is built to be a red zone threat (not a big tall guy), but he...

And our starting right tackle. Also, although it was a trade and Drake played great, we lost our starting RB and because of that and an injury we...

I believe he is ahead of brady for this week.

[MEDIA]

Pretty sure you can't dive at legs, especially not from the side no matter how out of position you are. Otherwise the Broncos would still be...

I watched it and noticed. He didn't snub him as much as he just left directly for the locker room before even getting near any Dolphins instead of...

Again, I think this one is fitting: [IMG]

Yup, when I read the thread title I said, "Must be sexual harassment or assault". Douche. Check.

BTW did anyone notice how great bellichik is considering all of the injuries his team has had? We are missing our starting CB, LB and our QB is an...

There's lots I agree with there, obviously, but a couple of things I want to point out along the same topics. Harris does tend to get pushed wide...

Remember we heard Tankersley was not very bright (in handling zone responsibilities) but was very good physically? Well, you could see from his...

It was late and I had to get to bed. Now I need to get to work but, in a nutshell, what a great time to play our best game a long time!

I said it a week ago: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dgaPgAcs-JlfCuRICR2S9f3f-AtOywPa

I thought it was funny the number 6 came up the other day, because I said it would take about 7 when he was drafted. Then I changed it to 8-10 a...

You can call it out and keep it real all you want. Nobody has a problem with that. The problem as Key said, is belittling people and saying you...

I think you just explained why we need to trade Tannenbaum. For nothing.

I have no opinion on that, but I panicked when I saw you wrote 19-0. Didn't want you to get sued by the cheatriots. Luckily, it looks like you are...

I think that is just trying to grab a player you think will improve your team because you know him.

I disagree with the part about stats. I find there are almost too many stats used here. Seems like people bring out stats at the drop of a hat and...

Anybody remember Brian Greise's game against the Chargers? They had the home game but it was played in Arizona due to wildfires. We killed them...

Yes, I didn't take the thread too literally. He actually had a decent season that year overall. But his career in general was very pedestrian and...

I'm hoping they just had to wait the couple of days for swelling to subside before doing the surgery. I have no idea though. I just read some...

I saw that and I hope it doesn't mean something unexpectedly bad happened, because earlier this week a report I saw said no surgery. Hopefully...

I had another Lamar in mind: http://www.nfl.com/videos/miami-dolphins/09000d5d82082794/Smith-s-17-yard-TD-run-in-overtime I know he ran 40 times...

Probably depends on the person, but I was going to say the same, about how one's perspective probably changes once their first child is born. Not...

He is still being kept for evaluations but at least now they are saying no surgery will be required.

My 2 favorite QB's to watch. They both have that little shoulder dip before they spin the opposite way you would think to avoid pressure. Then...

I'm fine with it if somebody in 2 weeks takes a cheap shot at Gronk's cement head and puts him out for the season. I also hope that person...

Someone would have to see what percentage they think would hit and to what degree. Finding a solid swing backup lineman vs finding Cam Wake are 2...

Or do both. There's no shortage of money. Have position specialists moving all over the place hitting the hot prospects and really figuring out if...

I'm not arguing for the sake of argument, just checking, but has consideration been given to the quality of the rushing defenses we have faced...

I saw it again and noticed the way he forearmed the dude's head. I was wondering how he seemed so woozy afterwards. So he jumped on him while...

Can't risk the Shelby raw dog with those turds.

I've seen better apologies. But him stupid, so. I have to say I don't like players acting like babies, but that throwing the flag into the stands...

I think he said before the game he had never carried more than 15, including high school. So that was his busiest game ever. And Steve Smith is...

Good idea. I'd even give it a shot this year for a game or 2. Send him into the off season knowing it will happen if he doesn't pull his weight...

They aren't even throwing to him much now it seems. I don't think Cutler trusts him anymore, or he is hurt and they are just using him as a decoy....

As for Thomas's "ride the bronco / hump the football" TD celebration, some may never want to see him do that to the ball again, but if he scores...

I watched a few Denver games this year. Vance Joseph's team is melting down around him. He cannot coach, no matter how much people like him. He...

Is there really much of a difference? No championships for decades? Check. They have about 5 wins a year for the past 15 years, we have about 7...

I like some of the ideas above. I wouldn't mind seeing us without Pouncey making the line calls. I have a theory. But my new plan to fix our...

Snow plow game. Then Riggins. Suffered alone. My family didn't watch football. Then Marino came along and that cemented it. Bombs all over the field!

You have a couple of really winnable games coming up, but you are probably right. Might end up one game too little to bring back AR.

One thing to remember is that when a team no longer holds the fanbase's interest due to falling out of contention, writers still need to find...

And why throw away any carries anyway (beyond 20 carries)? In almost any statistic, if you want an accurate picture of a player, consider...

Whoa, I lost track and lost interest in Ajayi, but your post just made me want to check how he's doing in Philly and his average is 9.7 YPC.

I personally think the league office should give a $10 000 bonus for every player who throws a punch at a cheatriots player. 25G's for a brady or...

I have been enjoying GB football in recent years, because of Rodgers. So this year totally sucks for me. Nothing really of interest except to hope...

I'm thinking more and more that a bigger part of our strategy needs to be to search for the next very good or great QB. I don't care if it means...

I wouldn't mind seeing Grier operate without Tannenbaum having final say. I believe that was the original setup and it has not changed.

True. Coincidentally, we may have 2 or 3 QB's in Miami alone that are as streaky.

I get what you're saying, but all 1-15 did was get us a playoff blowout to the Ravens the following year as well. Many would say the wildcat was...

Yes, I wondered if it was a broken collar bone when he hit. Lucky it's not, so there's a chance he can get back sooner. Not that it really matters...

I agree with much of what you said. Why would Gase's fate be directly tied to Tannehill, the Qb he inherited, especially when he doesn't control...

Can't vote because the only Tannenbaum box also means Gase has to go with him.

So we are scoring more, but the other team is scoring on us even more than we are improving in points. Our time of possession is dropping. I know...

I consider it a bye week. ****in cheats shouldn't even be in the league at this point.

You're getting closer. Who is next above Grier? Keep going... The question is, is Ross getting closer and I would highly doubt it.

I missed this, but it's hilarious. Plus, it may help numb the pain while watching.

Yes I remember awarding him the nut punt award that week.

Exactly. And exactly.

We don;t have an abundance of cap room and we don't have a nearly complete roster, so we will not be able to dump underachievers that still play...

He has another year. He would be 0 dead cap if he is cut after next year. He occupies a roster spot for free next year (same cost if you keep him...

Steratore I think. Yes?

I used to think sometimes how we were just 2 or 3 years away from being a contender and we never got closer. Something would always happen to keep...

There's no guarantee a LB or a guard we draft would be an improvement over anybody either. But you still have to try. IMO, if we win 5 or even 6...

I agree, but I think Gase has some assistants to fire. 17 penalties is too many especially this time of year.

Land the next Aaron Rodgers in the draft and all of a sudden Gase is a genius again. Problem is, we don't have the front office to even realize we...

But that's an awful lot of false starts for a team that is supposed to be disciplined, which was really the one thing I was counting on when we...

That safety was hilarious. I don't think the ref truly understands the rules on forward progress. If I catch a bomb at the opposition's 5 yard...

Interested in young players stepping up and seeing who else quits. For example, I'm interested in Drake, Parker, Tunsil getting his crap together...

I do agree with ignoring talent and promoting or moving people out with attitude issues. I think he is walking a very fine line though, each time...

Good to hear, I hope keeps doing it. Was that off of runs or passes as well? Kind of looked light when running to me.

After thinking about it a little longer, I see the point of trying to trade Ajayi's bad knee. Philadelphia would be aware after a physical and...

447 carries for 1924 yards is 4.3 ypc. Or are we hand picking stats from the most convenient part of a player's career again? A lot of that on...

Okay, I can't totally remember the details on Howard, but Landry was holding. I thought he held twice but the second time he grabbed jersey and...

It's true we played better than last game, but almost every team plays better than we did last game. I'm glad they played better but I'm also...

He's a good player and a hard hitter. We need more of that physical attitude and he may be a guy to bring that and make it contagious.

On that play alone you could see he is just not fast enough to cover Cook. But the LB's have been so much better than last year in general.

From what I remember, I believed the PI call in the end zone on Howard was a fair call. The call on the sideline on Jones was a joke though....

I think that's the philosophy that defenses seem to have used on us for a few years now. I think it is also part of the reason Landry has a...

Seems strange that they can cover the deep ball better without their starting corners though. If that is actually true, then it speaks to their...

That's what he is saying, but I would have liked to have seen him sniff out the immature ones earlier and get the roster turned over. Part of it...

My thoughts are that the line seemed to improve so our offense improved, even without our best runner. Still a long way to go though. They need to...

But I think it is a coaching problem sometimes. Other times it is a lack of talent getting overwhelmed by a better opponent. I hope it is the...

Yes that is tiring. The line seemed to block better yesterday, but then again we passed short probably to keep Kahlil off of Cutler. We just don't...

Grier can't take a dump without reporting to him.

Oh my, I typed for a minute and a half and now that's the issue. Shamegame made a fool of himself by saying Parker has only played in 8 games and...

Just scrolled up and caught that last sentence. I agree.

They looked undisciplined to me last night. Not sure if that is ongoing but they do have their share of penalties on the season. Troubling from a...

Sorry for what? Is that for misrepresenting me while you quote me and try to put words in my mouth? Apology accepted. I just laid out how many...

Yes. I think so often that when you are physically gifted you can cruise until you reach a certain level and you hit a wall, with no skills to...

My point was that he is not as fragile as you made it appear. Sorry, I thought that was clear. You could tell me his grandma has a killer recipe...

The desire may be what is missing. Still young and immature. I'd like to see him in his contract year.

He was drafted in 2015 and his foot issue from that previous season popped up again. He played 14 of 16 games that year. Last year he played 15...

Then we are back to the question of whether it was Ajayi or the line. I think he is the same back he was a year ago. If he has lost a step, I...

But I think it would go a long way in disproving the theory that he was the biggest issue with our offense, as Gase would have us think. That is...

With a couple of minutes to go some of us can still hold onto the fact that Ajayi may not get 100 yards today. I know that was a sticking point...

I don't think you can hold the current regime and players accountable for the history of the franchise, much like our current crew has no claim to...

You may have something to talk about there with the drag routes or any shallow crosses you might want to limit, but if you take away the 50/50...

We already heard earlier in the week that he would be activated, but has he been slated to start this week? I hope so. In this case any change...

Yes, we're still 4 and 3. This is a competitive league and if Gase is not pulling some sort of a personality conflict purge and still has the team...

I thought those linemen noticeably sucked Keith. I do agree that Ajayi may not have helped himself this year either. As Gase said, sometimes he...

To preface, I really don't care about the trade but I want people to have a realistic understanding about Ajayi's production. We can say he only...

I honestly think our offense will be very short and wide with the ball coming out as fast as possible. That may help protect the QB from this...

His style fits Gase's offense better IMO. It's just that he will not play a full season if you give him a full load of carries. I also think this...

And a lot of smart people make a lot of money, but not everybody who makes a lot of money is necessarily smart. I have never met Ross or listened...

He sucked. For example: [MEDIA] Oh wait, it was because of his knee bothering him. That's why he cannot figure out who to block. His knee is where...

Yes.

I wonder if he has PTSD at this point.

If selling and living happily ever after is not an option, I have a conversation with Grier about how much he thinks he has learned from...

I think at some point the team needs to consider changing their logo to Cam Wake. The "Miami Wakes". Yeah buddy!

I would assume they won't and alter any plans accordingly. I'm serious. I'm sure one day it will happen, but after all of these years why expect...

Are you running for president of thephins.com next year or something? :)

So do I. Not ashamed to say it either. Best QB, maybe in history and I'm a huge Marino fan.

The Dolphins traded a running back who they picked near the end of round 5 IIRC. The Cheats traded a QB that they got late in the 2nd for another...

We need more than that. No money left. I would not invest in Parker long term at this point, but you can't just cut value and rebuild each year....

I wouldn't guess. He breaks a lot of tackles and this line needs a back like that. Cutler is now doomed with no running game, unless Drake has...

Exactly.

Yes. Which means when Drake gets hurt, we're in big trouble. Assuming no playoffs, he may last another 9 games, but I would be pleasantly surprised.

Don't get me wrong, Bell is amazing. With Aaron Rodgers out he is the only reason I watch Sundays. But behind our line in our offense he would not...

How is his yards per carry? A running back really has no control over yds. per game because he ma only get the ball 12 times a game. In that case...

Parker is cheap for another few years. There is no problem in keeping him around unless he absolutely stinks. It sucks that he gets hurt but he...

That is true, but I would say he runs very hard and sees the field well and we saw last year what he can do. What changed besides the line getting...

I would love to see the back who can get out of the backfield on this team, especially last week. I'm happy for Ajayi though. I just read that...

13.1M in 2019. Only 4M in 2020 BTW.

I don't think it's a half measure to make what most people consider to be the most important position a priority and to invest in that priority...

We're out of money. It takes all of your cap space to land a "talented" squad like the one we have assembled when you don't draft particularly...

I agree that drafting QB's every few years is a good strategy and that we are a prime example of a team that needs to do that. Now get ready to duck.

Then in a couple of days they will be all over the "story" saying he will not be traded. It all creates clicks.

Unless some other team is interested in carrying a 19 million DT we're stuck for the next couple of years. Suh didn't do anything to warrant a cut...

He should take a page out of Csonka's book and just bury his helmet into the back of the lineman who is in his way not creating the hole on a...

I didn't answer because I couldn't think of anyone and I didn't think Gase was getting fired. I also didn't know we could hire people who would...

Injuries won't matter as long as the refs keep taking a TD off the board for opposing teams. One for the Jets last week (Austin Sefarian-Jenkins),...

How was he almost fired? How did that go down? I know they only won 5 last year but I also know they are not loaded with talent and started out...

A friend told me a couple of years ago when we let Bowles walk that we had our chance. I believed him then and I believe him now. That team is...

So do some '72 guys. I forget who though.

Williams for missing blocking assignments, not that he is one of our best, but that doesn't mean the non best are all prepared either. I'm pretty...

Gase said that Parker wanted to play. Read more here:...

That's on Tannenbum who I would love to see fired before Gase. However, there is no way that happens. Ross has no real idea about what he is...

Just to give the rest of the story and not to make excuses, because I really don't care either way: Parker is fragile, I am not going to make...

I know we have some people here who have a lot of stats at their fingertips. I was wondering yesterday even before this game how this offense...

33 yds. Ravens 40 Fins 0 (again). I apologize on behalf of all Dolphins fans who ever doubted you or this team.

We're still going to struggle / suck with either QB. And this is more than just a QB issue although not having a franchise QB makes the other...

I turned it off. Turned off a rare game I could catch in HD. I decided instead to go take a dump and watch it float around in the toilet. Same HD...

They'll give him a shot, not that it would be a picnic even with that. But for those of us without access to that pain medication it is very painful.

Too bad. Best case was to have Moore play enough games to get this team close to the playoffs, then have Cutler come back and finish the regular...

I think it's a great situation for Maxwell. Don't be upset for him. He gets his money, plus he can double dip and sign a new contract if somebody...

But the injury allows Gase and Cutler to save face for Cutler by saying it is taking longer than expected, or he had a setback, at least for a...

I really hope we can get up by a couple of scores and let Ajayi and maybe our other backs run the crap out of the ball. That's the best case...

From what I am told, you are on the right track. His wife definitely did not want him playing a full season and I would imagine it goes back to...

I think we'll throw downfield too, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us still play conservatively for a half once again. We're one shot on Moore...

In the vein of "Chuck Norrisisms": When QB's ask Cam Wake what time it is he answers "1.5 seconds to". When they ask, "1.5 seconds to what?" he...

No more throwing resources into Qb's that are not on rosters for a reason. We need to go with what we have. I would like to see us draft a QB...

I would think they will handle it by saying Cutler is dressing as the emergency backup, but Moore is starting Thursday. If Moore screws up...

I saw Moore covering his helmet ear holes as the play was coming in at one point. I guess the fans in Miami are relatively new to having something...

Both teams will be on a short week coming in. Get through it though, and we can sneak a few extra days to rest afterwards.

We just need the fat guys up front to play with a little hate in their hearts. Ajayi will take care of the rest.

Climbing the pocket and sliding laterally to buy time and find throwing lanes. This is not going to go over well with some, but he could learn a...

If they are pissed off they should play pissed off. When I was pissed off when I played competitive sports I would have an "I'll F'n show you!"...

I think calling for the backup QB is stupid and unproductive. However, I once went to a game where the team didn't show up, scored 3 points and...

We burn beavers for heat, which creates enough steam to turn a turbine, creating electricity. We use the electricity to recharge our wireless devices.

I would think at this point that most younger Dolphins fans are born with DNA that allows them to see potential and hope for improvement. For...

I liked the sack where nobody blocked him. Great strategy there. Took him like a half second to be on Matt Ryan. Could more teams try that new...

Nobody predicted that in late October the Jets would be in first place in the AFC East and the patriots in last, but we are an Austin...

Ajayi is among the leaders in broken tackles per touch if that has not already been posted. Should come as no surprise.

I said it then and it was not often well received, so I doubt it will be now, but those teams were soft IMO. Always wilted in big moments. Thanks...

Good points, but I think one of the biggest points is that Gase still has them behind him as a team and is able to reach 2 offensive players in...

[IMG]

Did anyone else notice what Reshad Jones was saying when he jumped up on that bench or box or whatever he was standing on after the INT? "This is...

I was starting to worry about the locker room though. I do tend to worry, but with Gase taking shots at his offense in the media, making threats...

Funny you should say that. Today I saw a play where Wake looked tired and he also looked tired after the play. I only bring this up because it is...

Pretty nice! Great second half.

Best thing is we won! I can't believe we were even in the game, let alone coming through so tough in the second half. Really fun second half to...

My solution is to keep my sense of humor. A little technique I developed in 2007 and it got me through that. And since we already have twice as...

I forget the exact number, but we are tight against the cap. It costs a lot of money to field the product we are seeing.

I never really give a **** about Landry or what he has to say, but I'm glad he is standing up for his teammate and for the first time I find...

We could also say the first few weeks were tough with travel and the hurricane, along with whatever happened with Timmons. However, we failed to...

Yep, I just noticed that too when I reread my post. Just a typo. Not that dividing by 10 is the type of mental math one should brag about. Either...

I'm tired and just going by memory but I remember 19 (Chargers game), 6 (Jets game), 0 (Saints game) and 9 (Titans game) by our offense. In 4...

I wish we could find very good blockers. I would imagine most are already employed. I would like to see somebody else handle play calling. HC is a...

If you wanted to get into a serious conversation, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have started off by calling the other person, "Sir buzz...

I like that post above, nice job. Right now we are averaging 8.5 pts. a game from our offense I believe. I won't bother looking it up but I would...

And you wouldn't have to care. It's just that I wouldn't call you a ridiculous name for having a different opinion than I have about it. I am...

Okay I'm not going to get into the personal name calling stuff that is too prevalent on this board anyway, but did you watch the video? He talked...

Stopping the high school QB didn't excite me this week although take a win anytime. If our defense can clamp down on a top 10 offense like the...

No surprise, but good news. He was injured and I think was a guy who did his job dependably. I would imagine they told him to stick around and...

Where I am from, calling people "son" is fairly condescending but I'll assume that you are from a place where it is okay and dignify your post...

Could also be some kind of a crushed pill. Although he talks about getting high on it with the woman he is talking to in the video. The woman who...

Of course. Why not? Throw it on the pile with everything else.

Unfortunately you are right about his college career and you'd think it would be a bad sign for his pro career. BTW he actually went up against a...

It's no big deal. If Cutler had thrown to Thomas on target he would have dropped it anyway.

That's the only way we win at this point. Luckily we are playing a high school QB who owes his career to Spygate and therefore has been able to...

This team's current average says it would need a little more than 6 games to score 54 points.

The media people say, "Yay, hooray, Rey will play today!" But though he may play, how long in can he stay? And if he can stay, how well will he...

My Dr. Seuss question of the morning: How many plays today can fat Rey play anyway?

Would there be much of a drop in production either way? I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

1. Keep Gase, it's only year 2. 2/3. Blow up QB. Both are a no, but Cutler is what we have for now. See what you can get for Tannehill down the...

As I said on another thread, I was very pleasantly surprised by Tankersley. Watched him all game. Harris was up against a backup, so I would need...

Where are you from exactly? Or approximately?

As soon as JJ predicted a Dolphins win in the pre game show I knew we were done. Let's just hang on to the slim hope that this is at least...

Welcome. I'm from NS.

Isn't Tankersley a slow learner when it comes to schemes? Like I would expect them to use him in man pretty much. Even then he needs to mug people...

Definitely a push. I hope Grant steps up in his absence and shows this team that they do not need to overpay a slot receiver who scores a few TD's...

Set to record the game. No plans yet, I can watch it when I want as the day unfolds. But I would imagine I will watch it early.

I'm not so sure. At first I thought so but then I looked again and I think he may have just scared her and she sat back down in the car. Not that...

If I were a reporter I would have asked him if he was happy to be here. TBH I think he was told to say he was happy to be back and he is...

I've seen enough short slants these past 5 years. Enough passes behind the LOS as well.

Why is he looking so longingly toward Pittsburgh?

Thanks, I was just trying to make the mods' lives easier. Plus, I'm too new to start my own threads up lol!

Looks like the suspension is over. http://nfltraderumors.co/dolphins-reinstate-lb-lawrence-timmons-suspension-will-play-week-4/

Good.

May I also offer up 37-3 vs. Tennessee in 2012?

I think you always just said it was a good place. I fully expect arguing over Dolphins related stuff. I just try to scroll by personal stuff or...

I didn't notice at the time but I read about him having a good game. If he says you have to take it to them and he truly realizes this it is an...

Post June 1 2018 it looks like Suh can be cut for a $17 M savings and similarly post June 1 2019. but in both of those scenarios you are still...

Exactly.

You're right. I worded that badly. I meant that it was an indicator that they may be moving away from Timmons. In a hurry when I typed it today. I...

No I brought it up. It doesn't bother me. I'm not even involved. If I were involved, I think I would be more bothered about being involved than...

Yeah. I'm fairly new around here. I wonder what it is like when we lose.

I would doubt it was an illness because he was said to be angry when he went to the airport. Danger or a threat to take her away somewhere that he...

I think he was conservative because he knows Cutler is a slinger who has very little experience with these receivers and probably didn't want to...

Anthony costs us next year's 5th rounder.

Since he did the same thing twice in the game, let's just give him #1.

That would be convenient and may be the right length of time, depending on details. We're talking about the same coach who left Ajayi home for...

Maybe the end. But they may also just suspend him for a game. That's not a prediction, I'm just saying that we don't know what will happen yet....

Parker again, just too big for corners. [IMG]

Parker be like [IMG] [IMG]

Allen has played well so far in preseason. I didn't really notice him during the game but I only saw part of it, from about 3 minutes before...

His last 3 seasons he was handcuffed by JJ. Amazing he did what he did at that age under those circumstances.

Our starting QB next year does not have the initials RT. While that is not a predication that can happen this season, this season's events will be...

That scenario has had me worried this summer. If our guard is a guy that couldn't beat a backup C/G, we may be in trouble.

I like stories like this. Nice gesture, Dolphins players!

Aaron Rodgers is the best player in the world. IMO he is the Michael Jordan of football, because he elevates the players around him. I think the...

He made a deal with the devil. Maybe he'll learn from this for future years.

At times I wonder if we will be rusty week 2 like some teams were this week, but there's also a chance our guys will be pumped and that could help...

Then held a meeting with owners who mysteriously stopped feeling angry and said nothing other than they accepted Kraft's apology. Gag order...

Parker's the guy you want to get the ball to, so it all depends on his health, which is questionable until he plays a whole season or nearly a...

Anyway, good fun to watch the game. One highlight for me was the phantom sack, the first of the 2 near the goal line in the 4th. A DT pushed a...

Marino did it quite a bit.

Screw them.

Think our guys won't be fired up to finally get out and play week 2? P.S. Be safe everyone down there.

+1 Keith! I am really looking forward to Dolphins football and not wasting the bye early. However, this hurricane is on a whole other plane of...

It's a slight upgrade. Worth the trouble.

Not huge, sounds like depth and I would bet he is a ST's guy. Got hurt last year, I think a knee early on wiped out a lot of the season and then...

LB Junior Sylvestre has been cut.

I'm no offensive guru, but he only other thing I can think of is a bunch formation including Grant. That might allow him a moment to get loose.

It's a 53 man roster, but yes, Maxwell may very well be cut. That leaves 3 million in dead cap money, but it clears 5.5 million.

Last time we traded away a slow receiver who did that kind of stuff it was Bess and our timing was actually impeccable. He crashed and burned in...

Me too. Puked against the Dolphins, puked against the Texans, no questioning his effort. I'm glad he is already speaking up.

To be fair, I don't give a **** what any Patriots fan says or thinks about football or any other topic. If you cheer for the cheats, that's enough...

True they really are not going to use him as a blocker in most cases, but he may need to block once in a while as a good TE should be able to do....

If all they are doing is using him as a blocker so far, I would imagine it is because, well, look at the video. His blocking is atrocious and...

We already knew about Kiko and Timmons being solid, but Chase Allen and Hull may be the reasons our LB's overall don't suck.

I want to see the simple things that ANY team, good or bad, can control. Sound tackling and taking good angles. I have no expectations though.

I think you are right and that is awareness of the situation. Up by 10 pts in the 4th quarter in your opponents end on third down, if you have the...

They would also have to look at how the team responds to Cutler as a leader compared to Tannehill. Either way, it starts to get interesting next...

Yet we beat the Ravens at probably the lowest football point of this franchise's history, near the end of 2007. Without the Ravens, there's a good...

Let Storm Johnson and Damien Williams take the bulk of the carries this week and quite a few each next week as Ajayi gets some snaps in to get...

Oh right, we had Vontae. Oops. I'm blaming it on being sick yesterday.

Ha, yes, I was actually thinking of that and Gus Ferrotte when I posted about Vernon as well.

lol remember when Vernon Davis hurt his shoulder celebrating? He came back in after a little treatment, but it was pretty funny. He had just made...

With our cap situation I would not expect any high priced people to be brought in to "save the day". We are going to have to mitigate these...

I wonder if that was when he hurt his hamstring. The way guys have been going down this summer it's possible! :chuckle:

And what I heard was before that game, based on practices, so it sounds like it's true.

Davon Godchaux may not be playing behind Jordan Phillips if Phillips doesn't actually go out and win the starting job. Last I heard, Godchaux was...

BTW, that other time we made the playoffs since Shula and Marino left, we brought in a MLB star's son, Shawn Murphy. But that time it cost a 4th...

I misread your post and thought you asked, "Are we about to execute a WR or something?":chuckle: I suppose we would need another guy brought in to...

Because we don't give a $h!+ about them so we don't follow them as closely. That's my excuse anyway.

Remember also, the NFL's decision could be influenced by any charges laid, but not necessarily dependent on that happening. If the league feels...

Yes I'm not second guessing this very hard as you have to instill that mentality that everyone is always working hard and competing. But when it's...

Dodged a bullet.

I agree that we are just as well off, and maybe better off with Cutler, depending on how thankful he is to be playing again after what probably...

Maybe, but Cutler also said he wanted to be a guaranteed starter, aside from getting starter money (according to the media, like everything we are...

Cutler under Gase looks a lot like Tannehill's season last year. I'm happier with Moore, but IDK if he can last a whole season.

I just don't consider anything they "achieve" as valid. Some fans do, some don't.

They don't really piss me off. They cheat, so nothing they ever do really matters to me.

Shades of 2007 / 2008 when they mapped out the route for the SB victory parade, patented the term "19-0" and made up the tee-shirts.

I agree with your logic, but Cutler said he would only come if he was guaranteed the starter role. I personally think this would be a great battle...

My only worry about Moore is that he may not make it through 16 games without a concussion again. If we had a decent backup I would not worry...

That's a good point and a good comparison, but Misi has also played hurt as I remember, and not played very well while hurt IIRC. Good for him...

How many balls does Landry catch on the outside vs in the slot though? He is primarily a slot receiver. What is his impact on the edge when he is...

And for the benefit of the team. If you can't be on the field regularly, you're not a player that can be counted on. Probably time to hang it up....

Yes. If you edge rush well any team can just hand it off and run up the middle, which then keeps the rush at bay. You also need to be able to take...

I don't think we are stacked with talent. I think we have decent talent and some gaping holes along with (still) a lack of depth. But I actually...

I just watch the guys play the game mostly. Stats are something I look at from time to time but I just watch them play now. That's not to diminish...

Any reference to Brady I automatically discard, sorry and I won't go there again on this board. Great post outside of that. I had somebody years...

For me the problem was the parade of B celebrities and stunts like the orange carpet. Just write the checks and stay out of the way until you know...

I would never argue against Graham as the best of all time, although he had a pretty decent running back named Jim Brown. He was good before Brown...

Anyone from the 80's / 90's close to Marino? When I see a comparison of the best ever in the league and all of them are from one era and then you...

I just skimmed after that part. When people start eliminating bad games to support their opinion that a player or team is good, or when they throw...

Competitive is too foggy for me. Did every unit try? I believe so. That means they were competitive IMO. Under Gase that is actually one thing...

Mangold holds the cards and he knows it. He will sign when a center goes down and a team is desperate IMO.

Keller was with us for part of the 2013 preseason. Our cerebral regime decided to call a 5 yard pattern for Keller requiring him to turn his back...

Funny, before reading the bottom of your post I was also thinking (optimistically) about 50 catches for 500 yards and 7 TD's. That would be a nice...

Most sites have that in the TOS, although I doubt a non-profit fan forum would get sued for plagiarism for not having a link. My own opinion is...

I think it is more than just Ajayi and Thomas getting to the sticks. The receivers like Parker, Stills and Landry also have to get there and...

He certainly loves to talk about the game though. Technique and stuff I mean.

If he invites me. Still not too late JT!

Thanks! We'll try to stop the Cheatriots from getting to the Superbowl, but if they do, you go ahead and beat their asses.

I have heard that teams sometimes take a little step back in year 2 for a coach and I actually expect us to be in that 7-9 win range. But I also...

I thought the same thing. It's good, but the way you described would be even better IMO.

He did. It wasn't all that dramatic. It was actually kind of funny. He had Marino wrapped up and I believe there was either an interception or a...

I'm surprised. And happy.

I agree with the pre snap part. He works hard and obviously prepares.

With Caroo or Tannenbaum?:unsure:

You don't really have to cover potential. Potential doesn't get on the field if it cannot learn the offense or get serious about its job. I think...

Oh there's Suh at 55. I would be surprised if Landry made it.

Yes make sure that turf is ready please.

Might help with wear and tear too, because he tends to get dinged up doesn't he? He's very exciting though, especially after that run near the...

I would lean toward your second argument, but it's juts my opinion. Probably depends on the positions and the players in question. I would really...

You may be right, although I find Landry does get a lot of love from the media. I find he gets mentioned alongside Odell a lot because they...

In college he could get away with rolling to the outside for a pass to a receiver cutting back to the sideline. That's a very easy pass for a QB...

As far as Tannehill goes, I think he does all he can to prepare. He is very hard working IMO. I think he has trouble making quick decisions that...

You can take me out of your high horse argument if you included me in that statement. When a team is full of douches I call it like I see it and I...

You actually don't have to search hard at all, because it's all out there as we're told. Literally every topic will give you different opinions,...

I was very excited when we signed him too. I hope it all works out as well as you explained.

I think you are right. By the same principle, I often think back to Culpepper / Brees. Culpepper was a huge mistake and apparently he slacked on...

Super easy for Flutie to come forward and defuse it then right? You'd think with the Patriots being caught cheating twice that he would defuse...

Well of course the source will always be LeBetard ias he first told the story, so nobody is going to really find you a different source because...

What is a credible source in your opinion? I mean this with all due respect, I'm not trying to take anyone on here.

Very true. Hopefully Drake takes a step but he does have a history of injuries doesn't he? Either way it's nice to have Williams to take some...

I intervened in the conversation because I think the guy who said he was a huge Tannehill fan meant he is pulling for him, even though he sees...

Bud Carson ran the record into the ground the previous year, with a little help from interim "coach" Shofner didn't he? They were a competitive...

You lost me at the "Patriot Way" (see above), but I think you have a pretty good bead on Tannehill. I will not go into detail as I know people...

You also are not allowed to look at the defense and pipe the coverage into your QB's helmet via a second receiver that isn't cut off at the NFL...

Without cheating, nobody would have remembered Belichick's name (as well as Brady's). He was horrible in Cleveland (inheriting a decent team at...

Maybe it can be explained this way. Consider yourself a huge fan, as most people on fan forums are. Now look back at some notable QB's we have had...

I believe Ginn's shoes from the game with the 2 big returns are in the Hall Of Fame. One day he will be reunited with them... ...for the...

Tyler, guys, you might also enjoy this if you have not already played with it: https://www.whatifsports.com/nfl/

I thought he was playing well at times and it depended on how well his hamstring was week to week, which he hurt in pre season. Then his back was...

Pretty safe prediction but still nice to hear. For Parker it is just a question of him getting serious about football now being his job. He can...

Yes, PR certainly is popular. In any event, I certainly enjoyed reading your post. You put a lot of good work into it!

I would hesitate to use pass rating as a basis to build my team, even theoretically as we are doing here. I think passer rating itself is flawed...

In the offense I would only expect him to be a guy you run reverses with, or fake reverses more often. He is short so it might be hard to pick him...

Yes, all the speed and agility in the world won't make a great return man if he lacks vision.

Just that I think he can still play at as high a level as ever (100%), but I really don't expect him to remain healthy, as in durable enough to do...

I was thinking about 7-8 games as well, but over the past few days, I thought some more and I think we should win 8 or maybe 9 this year. I think...

I think it is safe to assume Pouncey will not get "healthy" even if he returns to "100%". That doesn't mean it cannot happen, but with the history...

When people use up their one thread during a week they will still say what they want to say in other threads, so I think you'll find people...

Good point. It seems like we have had a lot of pedestrian players working for pedestrian coaches. I think a lot of it has to do with the inability...

I have heard Malcolm Lewis is a guy that could make it. He had a horrible injury and took time getting back from it physically and mentally, plus...

I think you have a lot of good points too and I think that is why he will be a passing downs guy and not a 3 down player in this league. Still not...

These are my worries as well, because it is almost word for word what I read from a pretty knowledgeable friend on another board the moment he was...

Lots of random thoughts and it is too early to tell, but I like some things and not some others. I like that there was no big trade up and we...
