    I believe Tua is the kind of Qb who doesn’t need to tune up to play at a high level, see last year at chargers, plus he’s 25 lbs lighter and is gonna want to show off a bit that he can run for a few first downs :;

    So with that I think we can outscore them

    If Ramsey plays I think that’s enough on D to win

    Yeah. A guy who has made $100m over the length of his playing career, and nearly $50m in endorsements, came here to make $3m, not play, and lose out on $5m more. That was his master plan.

    I see you're still butt hurt over being made a complete laughing stock over your entire salary cap ignorance.

    Did I say anything about Odell? no, but yet again your complete ignorance steps into s h i t.

    Only you would be stupid enough to not sign and stand on the sidelines and collect a few million. No surprise there though.

    I believe Odell came here for a chance to get another ring. It's a long time between now and February.

    Only if you believe that Odell couldn't have got more than a base of 3 million from anyone else. Which I really don't think anyone here believes.

    Signing incentive based contracts means you are taking less on the base. Players that do that are betting on themselves.

    Crying? lol

    Don't backtrack and act as if you didn't know this is about OBJ or that you weren't including OBJ in your reply.

    Maybe someone who has no ambitions, self-worth, or character would do that. Committing fraud isn't how I'd like to live my life. Then again, I'm a man with some self-worth and pride. ;)

    No...no...no...He came here to add $3m to his $150m+ bank account and didn't care about his reputation or legacy at all. It's all about the relative pennies and fraud for him. lol

    I would yes but I would not sign for 3 million and sit on the bench if I could sign for more somewhere else and sit on the bench.

    There is no reason to talk about other hypothetical players or situations. I am talking about Odell. He could have got more than 3 million.

    That is fair, unless of course you don't want to pay income tax and don't want to live in Florida (which he apparently loves)

    Also, you do know that his current injury was known correct? And that it was known he would miss playing time at the start of the season correct? Making it quite possible no other team wanted to invest money in him knowing he could miss 25% of the season.

    Are we willing to pretend nobody was even willing to go a few million more on the base and roll the dice on Odell Beckham? Or even that the Dolphins themselves might have been willing to go slightly higher but with no incentives?

    Its just not believable

    And no missing 25% of a season is not a deal breaker for teams

    Almost none of this is true.

    Living in FL doesn’t mean you don’t pay income tax. If you’re talking about STATE income tax you should be more clear. Although, you can’t add or subtract so maybe that’s asking too much.

    His injury was known, but it wasn’t known that he would miss the beginning of the season.

    OBJ turned down more money to play elsewhere. So no, it’s not true that no other team was interested in him.

    MAN you are bad at nearly everything. Lmao

    Back to the topic at hand - Pete Prisco is picking the Jags to win Sunday. What a shock - he’s another guy who I want to see eat crow this season.

    Jax will not be a pushover. I read where they had spent more in the offseason than any team in the NFL, in fact, about 100 million more than the 2nd place team. Mia wins in a squeaker.

    Don't worry guys, only 13 players on the injury report going into Week 1.

    By contrast, Jacksonville has one.

    Average age for the Dolphins is 27. The youngest team in the league, Packers, has an average age of 25.

    We do have a lot of “vets”, however. Which just means players with more than 4 yrs in the NFL.

    I think Ramsey plays. McD is overly cautious when it comes to players. If he doesn’t play, Bonner and Duck need to have really good games, obviously.

    he Jacksonville Jaguars open the season against a team that is a tough matchup for nearly every team in the National Football League. The Miami Dolphins have a high-powered offense that is difficult for most defenses to stop and most opposing offenses to keep up with.

    Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence says while he is confident in the defense, the offense is prepared to play any style needed to win from week to week. “Obviously, we’ve got a lot of confidence in our defense,” Lawrence said. “You're always hoping it's not that. I’ve got a lot of faith and belief in them. [The] reality is you play against a lot of good teams every week. You're playing against great players. So, that's always a possibility, but I’ve got a lot of faith in our defense and am not concerned about it. But to your point, there are times where we're going to have to pick up the load and carry the defense a little bit, and vice versa.

    “They're going to have to, some games, carry us when we're not getting anything going. We're a little bit stalling out drives. They’ve got to come up with some big stops, and vice versa. If another offense gets rolling a little bit, we’ve got to be able to answer. We’ve got to be able to hold the ball, have some long drives, finish drives with touchdowns in the red zone instead of field goals.”

    Lawrence says many things go into how a game plays out, but he and the offense plan to be ready for whatever happens in Week 1 against a talented Dolphins defense. Lawrence says the Jaguars have the talent to keep pace with the talent on offense and hold their own.

    Watch: Doug Pederson Breaks Down Jacksonville Jaguars Matchup vs. Miami Dolphins
    “All those things are important, and it just depends on what the game is,” Lawrence said. “That's why it's a team sport. You never know how it's going to unfold each week, but you’ve got to be prepared to do whatever you need to do to win. I think having Travis [RB Travis Etienne Jr.] and Tank [RB Tank Bigsby] both playing great ball, and D’Ernest [RB D’Ernest Johnson], we’ve got three great backs that have played really well in camp and are really bought into the system, and I feel great about. So having those guys, the run game and obviously all the weapons just everywhere we have up front, passing game, all that is going to help us, too.”

    I wouldn't "save" anyone. We'll lose this game if we don't have our best defensive backs out there.

    Losing Ramsey hurts a lot but let us all consider that last year it would be X and Apple stepping up and they can't even get on a team right now. Should be a lot less painful this year. Also Kohou not playing out of position.

    Hopefully.

    Plot twist. Ramsey signs an extension. This could have been his "injury". Does he play now?
