Saints vrs Dolphins matchup..news, injuries, etc..

Drew Brees is healthy.

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

I hope for no more injuries for them or us... I would rather beat a team at their best! Hopefully Wake will be a surprise show, and isn't it weird that nothing has been said on Soliai's injury.

For three weeks the Dolphins have found a way. Here is to HOPE!

Lance Moore left the game in the 2nd quarter, did not return, rumors out there he'll be out for Monday nite..I know he hasn't been as reductive as usual but the dude is a good player, and I've seen him dominate a football game, taking him out of the equatin for our banged up secondary is only a positive.

Colston, Meacham, Stills..We have faced better receiving units thus far..

I'm not sure Miami's faced a better overall unit than those 3, with Jimmy Graham at TE and Darren Sproles coming out of the backfield. Those 2 scare me more than the receivers do.

I disagree. Marques Colston is the second best receiver the Dolphins have faced, easily. Jimmy Graham is by far the top tight end we've faced. Darren Sproles is most definitely the most dangerous pass catching tailback we have faced. And these are all on the same unit.

I Agree With This. Let's Also Keep In Mind That Even With All The Talk About How High Powered The Saints Offense Is, The Dolphins Are Averaging More Points Per Game. What Scares Me Is How Active Their Front 7 Is When Rushing The Passer. I'd Like To See Usrun the bal A Little More In This Game.

No offense but..your record at predicting things this season hasnt been very good...(I say this very tongue in cheek by the way)

I predicted a Browns victory by a good margin and we got that, despite Vegas and 70-80% of all analysts picking the Browns.

Didn't hear any complaints heading into that game.

I said half a hundred times heading into the Falcons game that I would not touch the game as far as making a prediction. I gave a gun-to-the-head guess but caveated it the whole way that the complexion of the game and end result would be hard to predict based on the fresh injuries to both sides. The game came down to a final drive. You say I was wrong. I think I was pretty right about how close that game was going to be.

Think what you like.

Hmmmm. Gotta Disagree...healthy...He is #4. #1 Julio Jones, #2 Roddy White, #3 Reggie Wayne, #4 Colston. Accounting for Injuries, he is still #3 in my eyes, moving ahead of Roddy White.

Problem is the best Non-QB Offensive Player we will face is Jimmy Graham, and he comes with the Best QB we will face all year.

wow, soliai speaking about his knee, saying its probably at 50% .....50...after a week of rest and treatment....that is not very good

I'd rather all them get healthy than play nicked...we've got a long season and all the division games left.

I would take Marques Colston over Reggie Wayne any day. I don't even think it's close, just being completely honest. And Roddy White was still pretty good when he faced us, but he wasn't close to what a healthy Colston brings to the table...because White himself wasn't healthy.

I'm guessing that your taking into account age difference and that's what sways you..?

I'll take Jones, Wayne, White...

I wouldn't. I think Wayne is a much better overall receiver.

Maybe it's a language barrier and he means 50% chance of playing. (fingers crossed)

Wayne has been underrated his whole career, he's so deceptively great...first ballot hall of famer.

that would be better for sure

Wow. Did not realize people thought so little of Marques Colston around here. Learn something new every day I guess.

Agree to disagree. Colston is a unique, fantastic receiver, IMO.

So little?

How much do you not like Wayne?

Soliai was jogging a bit on the field. #Dolphins

Maybe he's terrible with numbers :lol:

I'm more concerned with Jimmy Graham than the Taints wide out s this week,that dude is a beast.

Im suprised nobody is mentioning our ST's. Sturgis, Fields who right now though i havnt looked regarding stats are top 3 imo. Thigpen is due a TD. He had one called back. We all saw what Jones did and he's been consistent. I just think our ST's are an element that have been missed. Nobody is mentioning them. Its an Elite unit that shouldnt be dismissed.

Wake practiced today. Misi and Ellerbe did as well

That's some good news. Gives more weight to Brian Hartline's comments on NFL AM yesterday.
