More important than spending any time under the childish imbecile that is Horriblebaugh, Campanile got to year under his belt with DC Don Brown,...
In football terms: top physical skills + rapid mental processing + longevity = elite.
Tua isn't a particularly smart person and struggles with reason.
W/L is not a QB statistic. It's a team measurement and a stat that should be used for HC's only.
Yikes. His only decent season as an OC ('14) was when he ripped off an incomplete playbook from Kelly featuring his college spread concepts. The...
I haven't watched a Chiefs game in quite a few years. Thier disgusting choices and turning a blind eye to bring in pieces of dung like Kareem...
It's way more detailed than that and a common media and fan misconception. Yes, he'll lock up your top weapon, but that's the simple starting...
Though, that goes for all of the US. America is built on top of Native Americans, and on the backs of slaves. :bag:
Damn, I miss that guy wearing aqua and orange. All the best, Ryan. Rooting for you hard.
Concerning the many former Dolphin players we've seen participating throughout this, and previous, postseasons: The NFL is filled to the brim with...
While impressive, the statistical statement of RB's, and the numbers they produce, vs 8 (or more) defenders in the box can be misleading. The...
I hope he never wins a SB. Reid is a win-at-any cost sleaze who rosters multiple domestic abusers.
Just saw the score of the KC vs Hou game. That's disgusting. What an embarrassment of an NFL game. Gross misrepresentation of professional football.
Gase blew chunks. He's a fraud HC. No one should even remotely attempt to stick up for that idiot. Tried to (and still does) approach the game...
Congrats @Cashvillesent. Pees gameplanned it perfectly against the Ravens. As some others pointed out, (and contrary to my previous gripes about...
How delectable was that?! Goodness, I love playoff football played in that manner. Pees called a great game and his players played extremely...
Bingo. I touched briefly on some of the Ravens pistol and the threat of eye candy they pose earlier....
No; hardly. It's just that I am not going to waste my time running pointless laps 'round and 'round your cul-de-sac of stupidity.
Someone always has to be that guy.
One of my favorite examples of humans (mis)understanding randomness is the itunes situation a few year back. Apple actually had to make their...
Here's something most of us need to take into account (myself especially being an old school football mind) there's a reason just about every...
Gailey pretty much ensures Fitzpatrick will be here for another year, and we can develop a QB or find another some other time. No need to trade up...
While Elway was a good QB, he is vastly overrated. Much like Troy Aikman.
You're missing the point. If you have true pass rushers up front, you are less pressed to call blitzes, bc you are getting the pressure you need...
It's not. Passer rating is the culmination of the passing offense as a whole, it has nothing to do with a single player. I'd expect Mahomes to...
Titans blitz percentage (24.9%) is among the bottom 10 in the league. Pees has the same mentality and weaknesses he displayed in Baltimore.
LOL, such BS. You simply looked at statistics. Such of which are not even remotely capable of determining the actual occurrences and circumstances...
Too simple, vague, and meaningless in the reality of the game and it's constant ongoing adjustments and occurrences. We all want simple definitive...
Points allowed, turnovers, and 3rd down percentage rate. Next would be special teams effectiveness in the field position battle. Offense can pick...
I know and have hung out with Meyer on multiple occasions. He would not fit in well with NFL. Think Spurrier, but without the ability to exploit...
That defensive play sealed the game. Much like Malcom Butler's INT vs Wilson in SB XLIX. It wasn't cherry picking, it was the cherry on top....

You sound like John Madden. "The team that scores the most points tonight will win". Save it. Defense wins championships.
Easily said, but more difficult to do is simply eye discipline by a defense. Mainly (and I'll repeat the overdone but tried and true "do your job"...
As has been said over many decades thru different ages, and remains so ever true: offense wins games, defense wins championships. It's a different...
I liked Peas; good defensive mind. Peas also had excellent coverage schemes as I also enjoyed watching his disciplined secondary, but his problems...
I'm not likened to Marty McFly, so calling me chicken isn't going to work.
Peters is a perfect example of the Raven's acquisition to further Martingale's philosophy of being able to scheme pressure without a plethora of...
LOL. It would be a complete waste of my time, which is ever so more evident by your interactions with other posters on this board. In fact, I'd be...
In all honesty and sincerity, your stats tell very little about the actual game played.
Viewed a few Raven games and their defense is as good as their offense. Yeah, Lamar Jackson is a stud, and Roman has done an excellent job of...
DT is one of the most difficult positions to acclimate to in the NFL. For one, the size and strength combination of NFL lineman is obviously far...
There are many very good and highly capable HS coaches out there. It's just that the majority thoroughly enjoy mentoring young kids, preparing...
Your analysis is unsurprisingly predictable and incredibly stupid.
Tannehill helped his team beat the Patriots . . . in the playoffs. Naysayers can kindly . . . well, fluff off. Dude has the goods, and always has.
Stills is a stand-up, honorable citizen. Football is virtually meaningless in comparison to the service Stills has done throughout his...
I wouldn't waste resources on the classes of QBs for the next few years either. They are weak. Build the team and then find one. May be better off...
Pleases me greatly to know the "tanking" fans are as miserable as they are uneducated. As if draft position means diddly squat. Especially...
That's blatantly false. Most exercise scientists and kinesiologists will tell you that throwing a football at an elite level is the most complex...
I agree. Though, I wasn't talking about CBrad. I appreciate his knowledge in the area of statistics and analytics.
There was a book written about the schtick in this thread in 1954. [spoiler]
Are you joking? Please, tell me you're kidding. Where do you think consistency comes from? By nature a longer throwing motion allows for more...
Better known as "keeping matters in-house". :up: Unlike Gase, who aired the team's laundry to anyone who would listen while he carelessly threw...
Bingo. And that release . . . no thank you. Inconsistencies abound.
If you've ever coached football on any level, you know this is very normal behavior. You obtain any and every advantage and leverage you can to...
Bwahahahahahaha! Let's start with his coaches shall we. Tannehill's first three years he was "coached" by HC Philbin, and two OC's in Sherman,...
Ah, another fad quick diet. And this one encourages people to get their body into a state most recognizable by the disease diabetes. :smackhead:...
Nailed it. Speed threat who was never a deep threat, and there is a significant difference. Also one of the worst route runners I've ever had...
Those days of stupidity are hopefully behind the Dolphins. I've got a strong hunch, if you will, that this current Dolphins regime is not going to...
LOL. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Great thread to provide examples of statistical irrelevancies and misleadings. Anyways, damn proud of...
Such an enormously ignorant thought process. Spewed as if drafting is a science and you know it's returns. A competent HC with the ability to...
Would be ideal.
Viewed the coaches tape. Typical of this season, love the defensive scheme and their ability to create a pass rush, desirable match ups,...
Because the NFL is really hard and the adjustment is extremely difficult and filled with toil, even for the world's most talented athletes. Glad...
Examining only the current situation, and by no means means predicting any types of outrageous success (though no one really knows), the Dolphins...
:king:
Excellent news. Hope that fraud is a Jet for life.
Tannehill has always been a viable starting NFL QB. Should be of no surprise what a well rounded team can do in elevating individual performances.
LMAO. What a bunch of PR. The NFL is trying so pathetically hard (and apparently lying, too) to try and repair the broken bridges they destroyed...
Pampered brat. Good riddance.
Great guy, though Kaep is too good for the NFL and they don't deserve him. He's better off without the BS covered and smothered NFL.
What a great game. Not enough to be said. Go compute something.
A defense also does not need to be riddled with superstars are even great players to be elite, just well coached. For example view the...
I do disagree. Points allowed, timely turnovers, 3rd down percentages, turnover on downs, etc. all need to be taken into consideration. Most...
Though early in his career and now, Belichick has won Super Bowls with his QB playing average to above average. One thing Belichick has never done...
JFC. Did everyone miss the 1st & 20 Cover 0 call just literally seconds before?!?! If you did miss it, it worked and worked well in forcing...
I do. I don't see much to separate themselves from the average to above average NFL pack. Also, as with any QB, it significantly depends on which...
Build the defense first, then draft a QB on a rookie deal to ride the team's coattails. While a QB may be more valuable than any specific...
Nope. :up:
You're clueless with a vendetta. The greatest coach in NFL history made the same call on multiple 3rd down occasions just a few Monday nights ago....
Brady has the benefit of being under and having being raised by the greatest coach in NFL history. Championships are also a team, coach, staff...
I'll take an elite defender, especially on the line, over an OK QB any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
The 3rd & 20 defensive call was NOT a bad playcall, nor was it done intentionally for what ill-informed fans & media refer to as tanking. It was...
Only a few weeks in and the NFL's legal gambling affiliation is already rearing it's ugly head. It remains ever so obvious that the fix is in for...
Perhaps Jeff Sharlet's investigative work is right about The Family. “I wish I could say more about it,” President Ronald Reagan said in 1985,...
I understand your point, even though Peyton, IMO, is the best QB to ever play and was essentially a coach on the field. Certainly though, an elite...
You could state similar and adverse scenarios like these for days. There's a ton of talent in the NFL, what separates teams is how they practice,...
We were originally discussing possible "ideal" situations. Obviously, there are many ways a team may achieve their success.
Typically 20-25 plays are scripted before hand with a partially limited playbook being used in sync to that week's created gameplan. This...
Oof. One the better decisions Ross has ever made. It'll soon make you very happy to know that fraud is now in NY.
All halftime adjustments are made during the week prior to the game. You need time to install such adjustments and make the players aware. There...
It's ill-advised to compare the team's past history to it's current circumstances. Also you're negative view of mediocre results in contrast to...
Any amount of success is ideal. The experience of winning as a team, especially one viewed as being in complete turmoil, is a gain. It provides...
That would be ideal. Draft position is a meager detail. How a player fits the team, and how they are coached once they enter the league is the...
You can't be serious? Are you being sarcastic? First, your assumption of my affinity for America is greatly misplaced. Next, your assumption that...
Excellent. Florida A&M does, and has always done, a phenomenal job as well. Far more entertainment value than any jumbo tron can provide. [MEDIA]
Everyone does. The offense knows exactly whats coming.
As well as a many number of people, with no religious affiliations, are doing too. Many, in fact whom I know personally, who have dedicated their...
Great choice. Game Pass is the avenue that I've used to watch NFL games for the past 4 years. I thoroughly enjoy not having to dedicate Sundays in...
Religion should be banished altogether. It's allowance thru supposed freedom is nothing more than an invitation for misplaced pride in ignorance...
Enjoyed that one very much. Another excellent read along those lines is Sam Harris's End Of Faith.
That's incredibly short-sighted and an erroneous line of thought that pretends to elevate Christianity to some enlightened hierarchy of humankind....
Religion is evil, it's a detriment to humankind and our modern societies. Religion does not deserve any respect, to follow such atrocities...
2nd year with a well below subpar team. New team, new coach, new OC, another horrible o-line, etc. Attempting to use analytics to try and...
That's not at all how that works. Proving or disproving a negative can only happen in mathematics. Making such a proclamation that a god or gods...
My favorite Bible fable is the Noah's Ark story. Some supposed omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent god creates humankind only to realize he...
You couldn't make it anymore obvious that you don't have a damn clue how a football staff and front office works together. Your erroneous...
Came cheap in a possible reclamation project. Don't understand the complaining there.
Would certainly be a better option than cheerleaders. That profession is completely useless and degrading.
Despite all his acclaimed work with 3DQB, he needs to shore up that awful throwing motion before I even consider looking at him more as a pro. His...
Bravo, bravo. :ffic:
You mock this move as though fans know better than those running the team, which is blatantly ignorant. Many factors play into such decisions....
Eh, I think he's a turd, to put it nicely. And agree wholeheartedly with you that Minkah quit on the team, is short-sighted, and seeks personal...
I haven't watched him this year yet, so that is good news that he is becoming more well-rounded in the overall scheme. I still believe Tua...
It was Grier's pick based on the coaches scheme at the time (joke of a wide9). Don't look so negatively into such picks without understanding the...
Not remotely. A single player doesn't make a football team; I don't care what position they play. Tua's lack of competition being a QB on an elite...
Stop with the silly semantics. Minkah quit on this football team. He was coddled his entire football life in attending a private, all-male, prep...
I would drink your pathetic tears if I could. Go whine and moan to someone else.
Not a chance. Defenses were so vanilla and simple back then. While they rules have stiffened to help promote the passing game, QB's from the 60's,...
Hard to say given the obvious current circumstances, but I will say this: We only have 13 penalties which is tied for 3rd lowest in the league...
Ideally, I would like to see Rosen after the bye week. We'll see how it pans out.
Rosen is still green. 2nd offensive system in 2 years with a brand new team. He's still learning. They have him sit and mentor under Fitzpatrick,...
I haven't been this excited about the Dolphins in decades. No more half measures, no more mediocre rut pretending we can compete. They are doing...
If there is anyone I fully trust in utilizing Minkah, it is Flores or others like him from the Belichick defensive coaching tree. It's what they...
21 picks over the course of the next two years. 13 for '20 and 9 for '21. Boom. That's how you rebuild an NFL team. Buckle up, buttercups,...
MNF: Browns vs Jets - In FG range with your 3rd string QB and have a chance to make it a one score game. Instead you fail on the 4th down...
C'mon. Just enjoy the goddamn game and relax. Life's too short to worry about things you have absolutely zero control over. Football is a lot more...
Good riddance, spoiled lil ****.
Yikes, I had almost forgotten just how horrible Salguero is. His defensive assessments there are so far off, I'm actually embarrassed for him....
Appreciate the interest in my opinion, but concerning the QB front, and I know it sounds crazy, but I don't care who are QB is to be completely...
Ha. Besides spoiled Minkah requesting a trade, who else you've got? Also of note, that supposed news of multi-player "malcontent" came from Mike...
For some yes, but not all. One quick, simple example during Parcells first HC stint with NY is DE Hugh Douglas. From defensive rookie of the year...
"Tanking" is a fantasy philosophy of fans and the media, and it's a foolish and ignorant thought process. Such a concept is never in the minds of...
LOL. You don't put up with poor attitudes or malcontent, that's what good coaches do. 2nd rd pick Jamie Collins was an excellent LB that Belichick...
Suck it up, whiners. The Dolphins have never experienced a true rebuild. It's always been a retooling process with unrealistic expectations of...
Should have been to no one's surprise, once the Dolphins acquired a real defensive coach, Alonso would be gone. Good riddance to a severe every...
What the article stated there is incorrect. Jan. 4, 2019 - The NFL and Caesars Entertainment Corporation have partnered up, giving the National...
If you had suspicions that the NFL might have been rigged before, this now removes all doubts. Domestic violation, after domestic violation with...
The Dolphins might not have the best defense this year, but thank goodness they'll be smarter by putting players in better position to succeed and...
Rosen to Stills should be immediate chemistry. [IMG] That's our QB. Smart kid.
Raised in a Southern Baptist church, son of a preacher man, I was baptized and all that other non-sense it entails. I now have the views of...
Excellent pick. Eager to see his usage and impact in the new defensive scheme. And those whining about how we had Suh, and the impact he did not...
Make it happen, Miami. They can grab Rosen for cheap now that Arizona has made their intentions clear. Very good prospect with an excellent head...
Ignorance abounds. Very ****ing foolish statement. Coaches evaluate their players and others all the time. Maybe not all, but many many do. DJ...
And with that one single contract, Seattle's future prevalence to compete for championships was put to rest. One would think that after watching...
Hard pass. The Dolphins are not an established football team, nor are they looking for one or a few more pieces to compete for a championship to...
While one of the greatest athletes to ever call Miami home, D Wade is even better off the court. He brought championships and camaraderie to the...
Special teams signing.
Yes. Poise, accuracy, and the ability to read the entire field while properly ID'ing the defense and moving through multiple pass progressions....
Turner was always a good run blocker, and needed to improve his pass pro technique, which never happened under our previous coaches. IMO, Turner...
:ffic:
Simply taking Rosen's statistical production into account for his rookie season and saying he is bad is lazy, foolish even. He had no supporting...
Very underwhelming. Next, please.
Good QB, and an even better person, who should have been signed a few years back instead of Jay Cutler endorsed by Gase. Would still take the...
That's not the Patriots' defensive philosophy by any means. In fact, many times, you'll find that the pat's D will double the biggest receiving...
Super Bowl LIII was the best ever. Gase was always overrated, and will never be a formidable HC. The round a player is selected in means...
Defense . . . it wins championships. Great ****ing game.
Injuries with 24 votes?!?! :sidelol: Unmitigated, yet fictitious and misplaced faith for one's interests isn't just reserved for religions I see....
I disagree.
If Flores is to become HC, I would focus more on the front 6, even 5, rather than 7. Nickel and Dime will be the main packages with the 3-4, or...
Multiple defense is the only way to go in todays NFL. It's how Belichick has remained the ultimate competitor spanning two decades. Offenses are...
**** yeah. Good riddance, fraudulent ****bag.
Love Wake, but let him go to a real contender in the twilight of his career. We've wasted his talents and career.
Same with my kid. I found that refreshing and decided to continue rooting for the Dolphins b/c that's how I choose them when I was young.
Exactly. See my previous comment.
Eh, I love the blazing heat, it's why I live down here. The roof was built for the weenies.
I still closely follow the Dolphins, but I've become a general NFL fan b/c I love the strategy of the sport, enjoy watching good football, and...
I haven't been back since they changed the name from Landshark. Zero interest in attending a game. :confused2:
Andy Reid wouldn't make this trade for a game-worn Mahomes jersey, let alone Pat himself.
Context is always needed. I wouldn't classify either of those throws as a credit to Tannehill, but rather the offense as a whole, especially the...
The foundation is ****ed. Stop being delusional.
Defensive emphasis is just my philosophy. Offense is easy, and has every advantage tilted their way. I don't view the jump to the NFL as too...
DC's Vic Fangio and James Bettcher from the NFL, and DC's Brett Venables and Don Brown from the NCAA.
No. I've seen enough.
[MEDIA]
Thanks for the correction (again). And yes, while the point wasn't to separate or elevate Sparano, or Philbin, or Gase, to seem like the better...
**** that. You are who your record and rankings say you are. This "I trust in Gase" nonsense is completely delusional and full of bull**** excuses.
Record after 42 games: Sparano Regular: 23-19, Post: 0-1 Gase Regular: 21-21, Post: 0-1 Offense/defense rank PPG by year: Sparano Off: 17,...
I don't agree with that sentiment in the pros. You're messing with players livelihoods at this level. When a coach has yet to get players to buy...
Amendola was wide open on that play, but I agree about proper placement by hitting him on the inside shoulder as not to lead him OOB and giving...
Accuracy is an innate trait for QBs. You either have it, or don't. You can moderately improve a QB's accuracy via footwork, tightening up the...
Meh. Screw Burke.
I'd want to kick the coach in the dick that constantly puts me in poor spots, too. #TeamReshad
Crack is whack. Most touchdown passes through 15 career games: 1. Kurt Warner, 36 2. Deshaun Watson, 34 (14 starts) 3. Dan Marino, 32
That TD was a feather in the cap for Houston in manipulating our coverage rules. That was a coaching/playcall flaw. It was not on the players.
No argument there (besides the hit on Gesicki which I felt the defender turned his shoulder and the helmet contact was incidental) I was just...
If there's a call to be made, the refs must make it, regardless of it's effect on the game, or they will be downgraded.
Nobody chose to have it small. It's now so in comparison to modern stadiums because it was built in '87 (8th oldest stadium in the NFL) and was...
Medical, yes. Recreational, hopefully soon. But let's be real, it's readily available regardless of legality.
So foolish. Miami has the number one home attendance percentage in the entire NFL. Jax is #15. Jets #22. Giants #24....
Out of town New Yorkers judging South Florida fans. What a crock of **** we've got going on here.
