turn on nfl network right now

Hahaha. You said BallDinger

 

Just turned it on. Have I missed it? Looks like they'll be talking Dolphins vs. Falcons next.

 

I just finished watching a show on NFL Network - NFL's Top Ten Opening Days. They showed a thing of beauty - Danny boy and his 5 passes in the 1994 game against Bledsoe and the Patsies. It was awesome to see that clip!

 

I'll believe it when I see it. We were awful last year on anything beyond 6 yards.

 

Atlanta had serious issues in preseason with this. They allowed a 50% conversion rate.

 

Mostly cause their CB's are extremely below average....they have signed on two new CB's since the end of Preseason....dont think its gonna make a difference though

 

Any Marino clip is awesome.
He'll always be the best in my mind. Don't really care what other teams think. they were always scared of him. And jealous that we had the best of the best.

 

Hey Deb...shouldnt you be getting ready for something about now...

 

I've never seen WRs so wide open in my whole life. I still can't believe that was his first game back from the injury and he nearly threw for 500 yards. One of my most memorable games, even though I was only 7 years old

 

It was ridiculous how open they were. They also said that any other quarterback on 4th and 6 would just hand it off to try and get the 6 yards, but not Marino. That throw to win the game was stunning.

 

Ginn should have a big day. I hope they make an effort to throw it to him deep because Atlanta's secondary is their weak point. That's the weakness we have to try to exploit. IMO

 

I hope you are right, Ginn has yet to show any flash we really need him to step up and play like a number one receiver.

 

I already have my gear ready. charging camera batteries, took a xanax (LOL). Nervous and jumpy as heck.

About 25 hours. left.
Hope I make it.

 

this is gonna' be a looooooong day Mary.

 

They went from awful to bad.

 

And that was my first Dolphins game I went to see in Miami...

Danny's comeback game and Parcells on the other sideline.

 

OMG - that must have been freakin awesome.

 

Are you stealing my stuff and using it against me?

The force is strong with you, although I sense the dark side is strong with you.

 

Actually, I have been calling it out since I first saw that ATL Ravens game.

I was just tickled to see it in your write up as that added mucho validity in what I saw.

Perhaps the only CB we will see that is worse than what the Falcons had in preseason, is Lito Sheppard.

 

It really was a great game.I've been fortunate and lucky enough to have gone to a bunch of great Dolphins games in the past.

 

All the pundits are going with the Falcons as a better team. I think it is the Phins that have made more improvements. I think our D is good enough the contain their vaunted Offense and Ginn and Co. are gonna have a very good game. I called in the first play thread that it will be a play action pass up the side line to Ginn for a large gain. If that is the case then they will have to pull the 8th from the box and that will open all kinds of running lanes, IMHO.

 

Yeah, I saw it too. I called my son into the room to watch it with me. Told him that he was one of the best to ever play. That was one of Danny's best games ever. 473 yards & 5 TD's...schweet.

 

I'm just teasing.

And please stop telling people where I get my ideas from. The only reason I stay on the board is to steal others ideas and make them my own. I call them my precious.

But in all honesty, the Falcons have some talent in their secondary but no leadership. Everyone is like a 1st or 2nd year guy and that is hard to do. They let Milloy go, and that will hurt them in the long run. The other issue is that some of their corners are better at man to man than zone; such as Chris Houston. Their recent acquisition of Tye Hill is a bit bewildering to me as I see him in the same mold.

The guys who will probably make plays are Grimes as he will deflect a pass or two or Chevis Jackson who may be used in the slot.

The fact that the team needed 2 guys this late in the process and that they had yet to settle on all four starters throughout the preseason means we could take advantage.

If there was a team to use a pass out of the WC formation on it would them, they are so inexperienced back there, I'm sure we could get something out of it.

 

Let's hope Kelly. Good to see you around btw!

 

Man, I wish I could meet up with you guys. But my daughter said we wouldn't get up there in time for the tail gate.

Here's our seats again.
Sec. 138, Row 5,seats 4, 5, 6 & 7. On the 35 yard line of the Dolphins side.

 

im going to pretend i didnt see you post this.

 

Yep, 1994 come back game. Got it on DVD and hosted. Nice game to watch.

 

I guess we'll see what happens when a moveable object meets a resistable force.

 

our WRs can't have the droppsies tomorrow.

 

I might be one that goes "out of the box" on this one...

I still see Defenses stacking the box against us, but when they get away from that it will not be because we have opened up with the pass...

We averaged enough YPA and or YPC (Yards per Completion) last year to keep Defenses honest, but opponents still stacked box for the most part. The OL was average at best in run blocking last year. Long rushing plays came out of the WC only and then it was when opponents stacked the box and then they were rare already...

I believe it will be because the OL will open up holes and or seal the edges for the RBs to get huge chunk of yards. Defenses will have to again spread out so the Safeties will be able to stay back and charge the RBs... and not due to the passing game... again out of the box thinking...

Big plays this year will come from the Run Game IMHO... give time for the OL to gell and things will work out real well for this team...

 

Thanks! Good to be around. I'm hoping this is the season that I may make a trip or two to Miami Mikes and party with some real animals....

I think we are going to be better this year than people think. Another year under the trifecta and better talent, should be a fun year.

 

Have a safe and pleasant trip (minus the final score)

 

That would be really cool dude.

I agree it should be a fun year. I'm not so cocky as to predict winning the division again, but I can always hope!

 

Thanks, but we'll see about the score tomorrow.
