But when crunch time comes we don't know how to close out the game. That's a confidence thing and it stems from the coaching staff.
The players have no confidence in the coaches making the right decisions and as a result they fall apart.
And those include personnel decisions as well. Too many players coming and going so there's no cohesion in the separate units, like o-line and d- backfield.
It's as simple as that.
-
I haven't done the research, but I'm sure the majority of Sparano's wins have been close games (7 points or less). We just lose a lot of close games as well.
-
A couple of things I think:
-guys trying to do to much
-lack of discipline
-Wake has not made the impact plays he made last yr
-3 new players in the secondary
Stuff like that, also think Daboll gets to cute down in the red zone, DTRain was rolling, we try one run, then pass pass pass. -
Some of these players just really don't remind me of football players. I see a lot of athletes out there, but also a lot of guys that aren't instinctual.

Last week it was what..13 pts?
That is one of the reasons why I'm not willing to toss in the towel, in 07 we just lacked talent, this yr our talent is simply not performing their roles well enough.
Now THAT is fixable, in 07 there simply was no moves to be made, we were on "E" once Ronnie B went down. -

If that's the case it's all about that bye week when Sparano hopefully gets canned.
-
Will Allen at least showed he can still play, Tuesday is huge for him, if he is fine, then we can bump Carroll out of the mix, and hopefully VD is ready to go vs the Chargers.
Colombo left with an elbow problem, Carey had shoulder issues, perhaps the Oline problems are going to take care of themselves. -
Wait Colombo has an elbow problem? Wasn't he in at the end?

I think Cook can. I know Garner can. On paper that's a strong run blocking line.
-
-
That maybe frees up Fasano, and gives Henne a bit more time, but it probably would hurt the running game. -
No Cook is actually a strong run blocker. Garner is also a strong run blocker. I don't think it hurts the run blocking at all. In fact it probably gives it some mobility. In pass protection I'd say Garner is a little better. Still I can see D.T. racking up yardage with that line. Might give the team they edge they need in the red zone.

They're trying to prove a point with Jerry. I've seen Ryan Cook play football. He's the better player.
-
13 points in 3 3/4 of the game is not fine actually.
-
It's not at all fine. It's not however an accurate representation of the offense. This red zone problem must be solved. Why can't Miami try to run the ball in the red zone?
