    Gase is laying down the law. Been a while it seems since we've had a coach who would do that. At some point though, this is what it comes down to in the NFL. This is your job, you do it well, it's yours. You don't do it how we want it done, take a seat, we'll find somebody else. Personally I like it. These guys have had it too easy, for too long here it seems. Get it done, or get out.

    Yeah Gase seems to have the right attitude as a coach. I really like it.

    Big question for me is still how good he is at adjustments. You can have as good a "prove it to me" attitude you want, but if you can't adjust in a timely fashion, whether it's X's and O's or personnel moves, well.. you're not going far. I think we'll know more on that one by the end of the season.

    Love it, and I also love that the locker room was mostly discouraged after Sunday's game. They know they need to perform better and they know Gase isn't screwing around.

    It's a good culture do develop. Be better or sit your *** on the bench.

    Glad to see this ... this was the aspect of Dan Campbell I liked, and was concerned about when they chose Gase. I know it took a couple of games of evidence, but Campbell made the big move of canning Lazor when he wouldn't (not couldn't, wouldn't) call running plays. This is refreshing after all the years Philbin apparently had no solution for underachieving.

    Here's the problem with adjustments. Right now...they cant evaluate which plays work and which don't so much because the players themselves are making mistakes. If someone on the D Line freelances...then the gap assignments are all thrown off. This is why he is really getting hard on the players now to do their damn jobs. If they cant evaluate what plays actually work and which dont....then it becomes very hard to make adjustments.

    I disagree with that. The no-huddle in the 2nd half of the NE game was an adjustment that should have been done earlier. You can make adjustments to improve players' play even when they aren't playing at full potential.

    They ran a no huddle against the Browns most of the game. What we need is that faster paced no huddle. Keep the defense off balance and out of breathe.

    I love that he is calling them out and not afraid to do so.

    Culture. It is a game changer if it can be fixed. I think Gase is on his way. It just takes time. This is the reason I was for Campbell as the head coach. As green as he was, I felt like he could flip this culture on its head. I am liking Gase so far.

    He needs to apply it. And I don't care WHO it is. Williams, Suh, Jones ... whoever. If they give any lip, cut their ***. Can't have this garbage. I had my doubts about Gase's "buddy buddy" approach with the players, but showing them that they have to do their jobs or hit the road is the right approach.

    Maxwell is definitely the nezt guy benched... and Tannehill will get benched midgame sometime this year. His slow decision making is hurting our offense not to mention the staredowns/telegraphed passes.

    How do you know it is slow decision making and not receivers running poor or wrong routes?

    Since gase is a QB guru, if tannehill doesn't get benched will you admit he isn't the problem

    I've been asking this for years. I get answer that is basically, "You dummy, it's obviously Tannehill. He is below average, and everything that is a problem is his fault."

    Now, if Gase ends up sitting Tannehill, then I'll take notice, and assume that Tannehill is really not the answer.

    if someone is open and he does not throw them the ball is that poor decision making or the receiver running the wrong route?

    Right OT? interesting idea. I guess what's the plan for guard then?
    Albert was supposed to move to Guard when the Chiefs signed Fischer a few seasons back. Maybe this fix is as easy as swapping a couple guys

    That depends on many factors.

    #1. Where the receiver is in the quarterback progression
    #2. Is the receiver in the wrong spot during a timing route
    #3. Is the receiver actually open or does he just look open on TV

    Gase should be fired. Clearly outcoached by Hue Jackson.

    That's the biggest challenge. Culture change in the organization. There's got to be that attitude of win at all costs. If it means sitting vets and starters, you do it. If you're not getting your job done well enough to win, we'll see if the next guy does. If nobody can, you're likely both gone in the offseason. Look at the way the Pats do it, how many times have we recently seen them moving away from early draft picks after only a few years? Bill just doesn't accept it. Get the player in, teach him his role, teach him the proper technique. If they don't get it... move on. Don't waste time.

    I feel like it's a tough thing to change the culture down in Miami. In a city known for beautiful weather, beaches, night life, it's easy for players to get distracted and enjoy the lifestyle of the city. There's a lot of distractions. But it's time someone whips our guys into shape, and reminds them... this is your job. It's not guaranteed. There's always someone gunning for your job, and you aren't safe. Keep making the same mental mistakes, leading to the inconsistency of this offense, and you're out. Juwaun James is a big example of that. This is a high draft pick, starter on what's arguably one of the weakest units on the team and he's getting benched for being beaten quite a bit during the game, and when it mattered most causing that strip sack.

    It's the right message. Especially if you're doing a good job developing the players on the lower end of the roster. I think New England shows year after year, you don't have to be the most talented. You've got to have some talent, and do your job as the system dictates without mistakes. If you cant, you're out.

    I've been wishing for three seasons for the starters on both sides of the ball, to get sat during a game. I said it watching the game Sunday, sitting in a Chili's in Connecticut.

    I think a message needs to be sent to the DL as well. We have too much money invested to be getting gashed in the run game and generating such an ineffective pass rush. Send the message, push buttons, get rid of bad apples and change this losing culture.

    Half time adjustments have been phenomenal so far IMO. It's the initial game planning and preparation that I question, personally.

    To your point, this may yet be one of the adjustments you may be referring to.

    Yeah, initial game planning and preparation that's tailored to the opponent is definitely one area we need to see improvement in.

    But in-game adjustments could be a lot better too. First of all, why wait till halftime? And second, half-time adjustments for the offense may have been "phenomenal" in the NE game and I'd say "good" in the Browns game, but I didn't see any in the Seattle game and none for the defense. It's worse for the defense because we couldn't adjust at all to NE without a starting QB just running their way to victory.

    That's a coaching problem and specifically shows the lack of ability to adjust. Otherwise, I'm talking about personnel issues. Haven't seen anything egregious so far but we don't want to see the coach stick with an underperforming player for way too long like Philbin did. Just some examples..

    This reminds me of Soylent green for the Dolphins...

    The D stands for deadbeat!!!

    It's refreshing from a fan standpoint as we knew this all along.

    James just needed a wake up call. To me it's replacing Jenkins and Misi with Hewitt and Butler.

    I think what your exercise/experiment inadvertently proved is that reputation some of us have is undeserved. We don't fly off the handle when normal people make a negative post. Our problem is with the people who **** on everything chronically.

    I LOVE this.

    This is good ONLY if he also takes blame and accountability when he messes up as a coach. I think he does that, like when he said he should have listened to Tannehill sooner during the Seahawks game.

    It's just important that players don't feel like they always are 'wrong' and the coaches are 'never wrong'.

    BEST hting about this though is that any entitled athletic diva NOT putting effort into executing properly will NOT continue to play ahead of a guy who does his damn job. THAT gives hope to your depth guys AND puts your first string on notice that their jobs ar eNOT safe if they slack.

    I read a comment saying play Butler at Mike, Alonso at Will and Hewitt at Sam.

    Misi would be nice backup.
