We continue the utter dominance against the vikings thru the 1st quarter..

Heres what Iam starting to see becoming a problem even though we are dominating, its something that we have been talking about all offseason and during last season..Just very poor execution thru a lack of athleticism throughout the interior line, its really affecting the whole offense in terms of consistency, the run game is just so inconsistent because of it, and the pressure that comes up the middle is making Henne a little scattershot..The combination of Jerry, Berger, Incognito is poor at this point, the simply dont have the athleticism to stay on their blocks, dont have the athleticism to get to the 2nd level and latch on, and dont have the athleticism to pull or look cohesive as a unit in that small interior space..Its early in the season so you can somewhat give them an excuse at this point, but I have a feeling its not gonna get better.

Let me tell ya something, if we dont have the best Dline in the league, were damn close, across from us in this game is what some consider the best in the vikings, were outplaying them, Langford, Solai, and Starks are just so stout against the run, with the depth we have were top 3 at the least, if not better if you wanna go 1 thru 6..

Iam trying to find a way our first round pick Odrick is gonna beat out Langford..To be continued??

So far, during the first 2 games, when the opponent plays us strait up, they get nothing, its mistake's in the secondary, and some misdirection that the opponent will gain some positive plays, but when its mano e mano, we dominate...Lets remember that this is our first year in a whole new defense, and were one of the youngest starting def. units in the game, The familiarity with each other and the scheme should propel us into a top 3 unit and start to limit those mental mistakes, because thru a game and a half, thats the only way teams are gaining positive yards.

So lets talk about the ronnie brown 50 yard run, which was right after VD21's incredibly athletic int at the goal line..It was a run right behind Jake long, Berger got destroyed and pancaked, did nothing to help the play, Cogs turned his man to the inside, good job, Jake cleanly moved his guy to the outside, perfect technique, and cobbs took care of the linebacker who was blitzing on the play..Ronnie for 50..maybe we should run behind the Premier Left tackle in the game more often, just for future reference.

Watching Shancoe school SS24 a few times already, Sean's lateral quickness and ability to stick to his receiver in short space is still a concern of mine..There is no question in my mind VD is the better corner, and I dont believe it to be close, I think that debate should be put to rest at this point..

The disease just killin mother grabbers all over the field...remember the play where he hurt himself celebrating after coming up and sticking the receiver...I love my disease..

We are running the ball effectively in this game against a great front, getting it done.

Misi deserved that TD in the endzone that ''Wake the beast'' caused, hes been bull rushin and harrassin Farve all day..He puts himself in the right positions..

Dan Dierdog is gushing about our football team at this point....deservedly so, another dominating performance 2 weeks in a row....WTF happens to cause us to be a 7 and 9 team after these 2 games, I have not a clue at this point..

Mid 3rd quarter, the play right after the Misi TD, Farve comes out, drops, Wake comes around the edge, gets held by Loadholt, and throws a pick, It was the dagger play, but former vike Sapp, gets called for offsides, offsetting penalties, play over...Still would of never made that trade with Cammy..

The ricky williams fumble at our goal line right after Jason picks off farve was unacceptable....This is our unforced mistake that lets them in the game...disgusting by ricky, he knows better than that..I believe His boyfriend Ronnie makes a similar play later in this game..Ronnie didn't want Ricky to take too much heat...Isn't that special, ''Ronnie and Ricky sittin in a tree''.....jk..

The play after on the 1, farve rolls out throws to the corner of the endzone, and out of nowhere, Karlos dives to make a beautiful athletic play, a play that I dont believe I have in my mental roladex of a dolphin linebacker ever making...Were very lucky to have Karlos Dansby as our middle linebacker..Hes the real deal.

The next play it took everything for them to get that 1 yard to score..we didnt budge...1 yard of footballl field we gave up on a stupid mistake after completely dominating them..It was the only way they were gonna score against us, they could not drive the field on us, were too good on defense..

Still have not been beaten strait up in this game and were entering the 4th...cheap *** TD..

Cam Wake is a footballplayer, not just a pass rusher...He made a play downfield on Peterson that shows great open end speed man...What a player..NEVER gives up on a play, never.

Its obvious that the ricky fumble at that critical point in the game, and the defense having only 1 yard to protect is having a deflated affect on the defense..

Jason Allen with 3 interceptions today...3.. all legit from being in good position,The one thing I see why he may of been released is that he does lose his balance alot, and finds himself on the ground without contact, but if someone watched this game and predicted that he would be released, you woould be villified on the board...what a game he had.

So let me set this scene for you...You know the ricky fumble that happened down at our one yard line, the play after Jason Allen picked off Farve at the goal line?,well, all the momentum had swung back to miami's favor, after Jason Allen just picked off another Farve pass on a 50 yard bomb, the offense takes the field, Ronnie brown takes the ball on a danty lil counter, and you know what he did, put the ball on the ground, completely unacceptable in that moment...At this moment and time watching this, Iam so insensed by both players at what they did during this game I think I would of benched them the next week if I was a coach...I swear to god...

The 2 plays were so identical in context it is downright eerie...I swear both fumbles were completely unforced..WTF.

Maybe just maybe, they both were our biggest enemies and culprits during the season..maybe just maybe this is where it all went downfield for the season in terms of chemistry..The trust factor and anger I feel must have infiltrated the entire team...

I remember towards the end of the season when Ronnie called out his teammates and told them to be Men...well, you wanna talk about goin in one ear and out the other, you cant do what those 2 did, in that game, and say sh%4 for the rest of the season..

Hmmm, the rest of their performance the rest of the year was below par as well..

I smell chemistry issues stemming from the lovers.

The fact that our defense had the mental resolve to make a goal line stand to win the game makes me so proud of them, and even more angry at Ronnie and Ricky..what a negative dynamic for the team..really makes me think..Karlos Dansby saved those boy's asses with his incredible goal line play..

see you next weekend for game 3.

 

And just one last shout out to SS24...He made a great play to seal the game on Shancoe, read the pattern, made the move inside the route, and tipped the pass..game over, I dont mean to sound harsh on him, but to be as good as Vontae will be a feat..

 

Henne played a solid game..managed it well...

 

I know iam knee jerking here, but I think iam ready to give up on both players..unacceptable is unacceptable...I dont think I can forgive such illadvised mistakes...It would of crushed that team if they hadn't stepped up with everything they had left, to save their ***..My thing is the residual affect it may of had in the locker room...How dare ricky williams say anything bad about his coach after the season, he needed to keep his mouth shut...

I know its sounds crazy and iam not saying its accurate but I wouldn't be suprised if the team doesn't want them back.

 

If we happen to be lucky and draft Mark Ingram, the stark contrast of styles between he and Ronnie Brown will make us cry happy tears..

Unless I knew for sure Ronnie brown was in the best shape hes ever been in, I would let him walk...I think with his body of work we can all see why he was a backup in college..and as soon as he blew the combine up and elevated his draft stock, he hasn't worked as hard imo to keep that speed and quickness in his repertoire...

 

Ronnie brown is a poor route runner at this stage of his career, does not bend and explode out of his cuts, he just doesn''t get into the art of the route, Iam so dissapointed in him i'am pretty much fed up.

 

I see Odrick being able to beat out Langford before I do Starks, Randy is a baller and a playmaker, an instinctive football player and still 27 years old..I dont see it Ro, and I like Jared, thats how deep we are, we cant find a spot for our first round pick...I think you have to use him first off the bench at all three positions, the kid is over 300lbs, and versatile...This situation bothers me because I know were not gonna get sh%$ for MCD after trading for him and developing him to be a complete football player with a 2nd round grade...Thats not the way its supposed to work from a front office perspective..If you trade for a young upstart, and you develope him, the goal is to get better value than which you paid..not in this case unfortunately.

 

Randy starks did not forget how to play the run Ronin, he had to switch positions last minute and you have to chalk his lowered stats to that if you ask me. Rewatching these first 2 games only give me more conviction that PFF is flawed in this situation..

I give MCD a 2nd round grade, more likely 3rd, because I think with what hes put on tape thats what he would garner, 6'7 with great balance, size, youth, versatility, and strength..making a few penalties during the course of a season does not drop him imo..This man has emerged..we'll never find out his worth on the open market because he's a free agent, but I think the contract he will get in that open market will indicate his value.

Either way, I think there is going to be some tough decisions to make before the season, in your scenario, I don't like the idea of not having MCD on the team and Starks comin off the bench...I think starks is a complete football player entrenched as a starter..If I was to play it out, starks stays at his position, Langford and Odrick battle it out in camp for the starting position, and if Langford wins, than Odrick replaces him in passing situations, and or solai..

So imo Ro, you are underestimating Randy Starks and MCD..

 

Todd, when I say Titus Young what the first thing that comes to mind?

 

I think its a downright shame to let MCD walk without any compensation.I know there's nothing we can do now, but iam wondering if there was anything we could of done in terms of projecting a better turnout..for example, I wanted to sign him last offseason because I thought he was a breakout player..he turned out to be that..

 

pissass, ur right..screw him then, lol.

 

Ronnie and ricky flat out sucked last year, thats right I said it, sucked.

 

thats because he had to hang out with them in their meeting groups..

Alen, how does daboll use his fullback in his offense?

 

Splits out wide huh?...

''Havili Havili Havili mother fu$#er i'am Ill''..

Than I would take the best football player at the fullback position in the draft..
