    This season is done. Too many injuries. At this point I'd honestly have the Dolphins forfeit every last game, get everyone healthy, and figure out next year. Pointless playing any more games.


    EDIT - Not completely pointless. Gase could empty his bench, use it as an evaluation season. But these injuries are getting ridiculous.

    Completely unjustified thought I've been pondering - is Gase' up-tempo focus leading to injuries? Do they have guys rushing in and out of everything during practise?

    It's probably just random, but then again...

    And they keep coming. Literally someone else EVERY week. I think its something to do with the training staff, but who knows.

    Its just random. I think that brings it to 10 out for the year and we're only halfway through the season The most I ever heard on IR and winning the super bowl was 16. Don't want to hear injuries are no excuse. Yes, yes they are

    At this rate all of the starters will be injured by the end of the year.

    There has to be something we aren't doing conditioning wise to lose all these people for the season. A big part of this is probably the league practice rules really hurting the conditioning of these player's bodies. Then again, not everyone in the league has THIS many injuries on their teams, especially season-ending ones.

    The Dolphins have 11 on IR

    Redskins have 12 on IR
    Bucs have 10
    49ers have 9
    Seattle has 11
    Steelers have 10
    Raiders have 11
    Pats have 13
    KC has 14
    Jax has 14
    Indy has 12
    Dallas has 12
    Carolina as 9
    Ravens have 12


    Nearly half the league as around the same amount of players on IR. Question is, are their players as important to their teams as ours?

    Well this is certainly eye opening...I really do think the rules on limited practice are definitely affecting the league as a whole in a negative way.

    I agree. Going through the motions, IMO, isn't good enough. Players learn to take a hit, avoid a hit, and test their own limits by going full (or nearly full) speed. This walk-through, no hitting crap is bad for the game.

    Yeah, I mean, are they tons of starters for each of those teams? Or like special teams and second string or lower?

    Like how many teams are missing 3/5ths of their starting oline? Or two or three of their starting receivers?

    We're obviously not the only team that's been hit with injuries, but as i've said before....The only true way to overcome injury issues (losing skill position players) is to have good consistent quarterback play. The Green Bay Packers could have injuries all over their roster. As long as Aaron Rodgers is healthy and playing, they will have a chance to beat anyone in the league. Same with teams like Carolina and Cam Newton, or even Atlanta with Matt Ryan. So while injuries are a legitimate excuse, they can be overcome if you have stability at the quarterback position. Once we finally do get "our guy" (be it 2019 or 2039), the injury plague that hits every team in the league at some point will be easier to deal with and overcome.

    I'm going to extremely disagree with Cam and Matt Ryan. Rodgers, maybe, but with 3/5ths of his line down and 2 of his main starting receivers down and 3rd main receiver or for 5 or 6 games, I don't even see Rodgers willing his team to too much...for instance, they're 3-3 right now,

    There was a study published on Football Outsiders during the off season about this. The new practice rules appear to be having zero, or close to zero, effect on injury rates.

    If it has no effect on injuries then we should go back to the old rules because the level of play, especially on the OL, is down.

    Tankersley even played? I hate that anyone is injured, but if we were counting on this loser to play for us, then we didn't have an NFL caliber unit. This guy is beyond horrible.

    The new coach/regime, whoever it is, is going to probably have to cut some high draft picks. Tank for sure. probably Harris, and maybe Raekwon. Its going to be painful that we missed on all of those picks. But it is what it is. We have to use those resources to try to get better.

    I think my first choice would be Jim Schwartz. At least our defense would be tougher than it is now. I am so sick of the Fins being the pansies of the NFL.

    In Miamis case the depth was not very deep.Those 10 were a big part of what they were trying to do and the back ups just don't do the job.

    Seriously? Are you trolling? Serious question. This post is beyond ridiculous... it’s absurd. Lol...

    Tank has shown promise, but he hasn’t lived up to his potential. He was a 3rd round pick, however. Are you expecting him to be the next Dion Sanders? Lol

    Harris isn’t JJ Watt, and it seems like the Dolphins passed up better players for him, but if you watch him play he’s not a bust. He does need to get better though.

    And McMillian is coming off an ACL and is 8 whole games into his NFL career. Proclaiming him a “miss”, at this point, is just funny.

    They don’t have guys rushing in and out in practice..actually the opposite, only one unit on offense and defense at a time, the rest are spectators, minimal conditioning drills in practice as well, very minimal.

    In both high school and college, my coach's mentality was to work us until we puked. The philosophy is that you're going to work so hard to achieve perfection that the actual games are going to be easy compared to practice.

    I particularly remember the 3-a-days at Nova high (which ironically is right next to where the Fins practice) to start the year- we'd show up at like 9 AM, practice for two hours, run a mile before lunch, practice for three more hours, run sprints, then another 2-3 hour practice followed by another mile and more wind sprints. We constantly stretched as well and I think when you're losing 5 pounds of sweat in the average practice, conditioning and hydration was absolutely everything as an athlete....especially in South Florida.

    The way the NFL practices these days is dangerous...they really don't run anymore, sweat all day in the sun or get a feel of the rhythm of the calls at game speed. Of course it's increased injuries and it's also why Miami ALWAYS starts slow. You can't get into outdoor game shape hanging out in an air conditioned building all day.

    As I posted earlier the study I am aware of indicates zero effective difference in injury rates between the old rules and the current rules.

    However, if you look at the injury rate per hour of football activity, then logically that rate must be going up because the injuries are staying the same but practice hours are down. Game hours of course are stable.

    Nope. Not trolling. I didn't know Tankersley was even active..shouldn't surprise me. Tank's not Deion Sanders? ROFLMAO. Yeah. Tank isn't even Torry McTyer. I am not looking for a HOFer here...I am looking for better than an UDFA? And who is beyond ridiculous? ROFL.

    Harris isn't JJ Watt? No, he's not. Neither is he Cameron Malveaux. If Harris meets your standard as a first round pick, then you and I just disagree on what first round picks should offer.

    If McMillan isn't healthy, then shut him down. If he is healthy, play him. If you play him and he plays like this...he's a "miss".

    I hope that's broken down enough for you.

    You’re reply shows that you lack the ability to comprehend. Maybe that’s where our differences come from?

    I’d attempt to explain my last post to you, but that post was already written rather simply. I’m not sure if I could dumb it down any further.

    I will say, however, that you’ve explained to us all that you don’t understand concepts, plays, angles, schemes, etc. Maybe you should at least try to understand something before you make an opinion public? And if you refuse to educate yourself, maybe you should be more willing to change your opinions?

    Yeah, my first thought. Losing depth is bad, but better than losing your starters. A number for the starters on IR is a more picture of the effect on the team.

    Are you angry because the Dolphins won? All of your posts are nothing more than whining. No evaluations. No critical thinking. No clue. My 16 month old son screams “Dolphins Football” when they are playing and that has more substance than your posts. Lol
