Im sorry, yes I am happy with Gase, but he needs to look at his personnel better. Fragile knee qb and now your starting MLB playing punt coverage? When you know your LBs were weak last year? And you passed on David Harris?

I don't know. Pre-season exists for the purpose of testing things out, and injuries occur in unpredictable ways. You could run the exact same play and a slight variation in speed or direction might well avoid the whole thing.
Bottom line is, if football is played, injuries can happen.
Personally, I'd prefer if they ditched the pre-season entirely.Rocky Raccoon, Tin Indian, Redwine4all and 1 other person like this. -

Own up to what? Are you nuts... was Gase supposed to just not let Tannehill practice at all? Why have practice or preseason at all then if they shouldn't be getting reps. You're over reacting, injuries happen.

Im curious too, why was a projected starting MLB doing on special teams?

He's a rookie, rookies play special teams. They need reps.

You need to pay better attention to what kind of players end up on special teams if you think McMillan was out of place there. Young starters are far from rare.

Just because he was the starter in training camp doesn't mean he was not going to have to play special teams. Was Alonso or Timmons going to do it? How many LBers play on Sunday? Either way it's football.

There's really nothing out of the ordinary about a rookie playing on ST's. The only person at fault in regards to McMillian is the football god. He hates the Dolphins.

While it is unfortunate and he has potential the only way the team improves is for players to play.It sucks for sure but I don't blame the coach at all.

I didn't see Suh or Wake on there -
Lets not forget that he was in no way the #1 MLB at this point either, he was still struggling to get the playbook down, as he said himself last week, or earlier this week, and nearly every rookie that fits the ST bill, plays on ST, as Cam Wake did, and JT and Zach.
This is the normal machinations of the NFL, him not playing on ST would be unusual.resnor, eltos_lightfoot, Base of Gase and 1 other person like this. -

*Fans cry because starting jobs are handed and not earned/culture sucks*
*Coach creates a culture where players earn playing time*
*Coach creates a culture where no player is too good for any one job*
*Fans cry because player has freak injury because he shouldn't be on the field*
*Fans quickly forget or have no clue how Bill Belichick goes about special teams players*eltos_lightfoot, Dol-Fan Dupree and Pauly like this. -
You cannot compare established superstars to someone who hasn't even played in a real NFL game yet.finsfandan and Finster like this. -
It's football. Special teams are made up of players from both side of the ball, offense and defense both.Fin D and eltos_lightfoot like this. -
There is 3 facets to and NFL team, offense, defense and special teams, it's important to have good ST players, the beginning and ending of most drives is a ST play.
We lost Kwon on ST, but we won the game on ST.
JJ was one of the first big proponents of treating ST like an equal part of the team with O and D, because he saw how many games were won on ST, not just on big plays like last night, but in field position battle.Redwine4all and eltos_lightfoot like this. -
Yeah, you're way, way , way off base here.
Tannehill likely blew out his ACL again this year, regardless of last year.
Plenty of 2nd round picks play special teams this early.
Nothing abnormal going on here. Nothing for Gase to apologize for. Maybe the Ajayi concussion, but hey... with such limited practice time now, you've got to teach, and get these guys tackling. I'm not sure Jay had anything to prove out there, it could have been avoided likely, but hey, nothing you can do there now.

I think in todays day and age, with roster limits on game day rosters, increased injury concerns, everything needs to be reanalyzed.
my starters are not playing on special teams in the first preseason game when I have an abundance of camp fodder aka 90 man roster. -
you're way off. fast, young rookies on defense are usually playing special teams. jason taylor, our new HOFer played special teams. It's just been so long since we had a stud LB, you're forgettingFinster and eltos_lightfoot like this. -
We have to remember, Kwon wasn't a starter, he's an unproven rookie 2nd round pick.
There is no such thing as a 2nd round rookie LB that doesn't play ST, that species doesn't exist, lol.
Believe me folks, no one would feel any better if he had gotten injured playing LB.jdallen1222 likes this. -
Maybe the offense will be good enough to fight off any negative impact from this? Maybe our secondary will pick up some of the slack? Maybe Wake can play middle LB (ha ha). Hopefully we don't just fill the hole with a cast-off liability player since we probly already broke the bank with Cutler. How is our cap situation looking? Is this all going to effect Landry's contract stuff?
