Separate names with a comma.
Tough thing about ranking the Dolphins is how many games does Armstead and Tua miss? If they can play a full season, assuming defense gets better...
My hope is Fangio is the answer and our defense can be a compliment vs a detriment to our team. I still have concerns about our OL especially...
Grier’s 2020 draft should be a fireable offense
All he has to be is better than any QB’s the Jets have had for the last 20 years and he’s worth the 2 2nd round picks they traded for him....
Well, he was banged up last year and was the MVP the previous 2 years. Maybe he’s washed up and old or maybe he’s Brady and has a few years left...
Maybe, but not sure our QB will be healthy in 12 months. Definitely wouldn’t want Jackson in any of those 12 months. He hasn’t played a full...
They could be dangerous. Had one of the best drafts from last year and have 2 top 2 round picks this year. Meanwhile Grier still trying out...
It is because he can’t stay healthy, has posted around an 89 QB rating over the last 2 seasons which puts him around 20th in the nfl and wants top...
I think that’s the best case. Run first QB’s don’t last long in the NFL as those hits add up. Once he loses that extra gear, he’s going to be a...
It makes me wonder whether Grier actually watches film or prioritizes it enough. I watched Jackson get manhandled by Iowa’s Epenesa in the...
Running backs don’t last long in the nfl. When those hits catch up to him, he’s a very below average passer. No thanks to everything about him.
Most GM’s can find good OL starters in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. If you’re speaking to Grier, then you’re right.
At this point, just need to address LG and RT. Could do that in the draft. Would like to see a mid round LT drafted for when Armstead goes down
I’ve been critical of Grier but this was a great move. He was rated #3 by PFF last year and even if he drops off 10-20 spots, that level of play...
Anyone else see reports about a trade involving Jalen Ramsey?
Find a new GM
Yeah, that 2017 draft was actually more brutal. At least the 2020 draft got some starters even though we basically wasted 3 picks in the first 2...
The 2020 draft is reason #1 why Grier needs to be let go. What should have been a dynasty building draft was almost a complete bust.
I’d rather spend the money on a LG or a RT. If you build a good enough OL, a lot of RB’s will be successful behind it.
The problem is he hasn’t had a full healthy season since his Junior in college which means he’s responsible for 3-5 losses every year because he...
McDaniel needs to figure out all these delay of game, false start, illegal shift penalties. Just shooting ourselves in the foot
Feels like the game is going to get out of control at this point. Regardless of outcome, for these guys to show up with it their starting QB,...
Apparently OT’s can tackle Phillips and it’s not holding
Gesicki and Waddle need to catch those balls
Knox got away with a push off. Great play by Holland
Wow, great effort and play! Allen with 3 TO’s
Closer than I expected. Kudos to the guys for staying in the fight
Yep, we’ll likely be relying on that back up for 3-5 games. If they can manage to win 2 of those games and we win 90% with Tua starting, we have...
And football is a 4 quarter game, playing great for 2 quarters and then squandering a 20 point lead in the other 2 quarters means your defense did...
When your defense can’t stop the opposing offense for an entire half, they share the blame too.
The worst defense in the league gives up 27 points a game. LAC gave up 24 points in a half.
I’m not defending Herbert. I said he didn’t play well. I’m just pointing out that in a TEAM sport where the defense gave up 24 points in the 2nd...
Yeah, I don’t buy into the media narrative. To me, a QB is like the president, they get too much blame or credit. Most fans don’t understand the...
FIFY. Herbert didn’t play good but it is a team sport and the entire team failed. You can’t have a OL that gives up that much pressure, have a...
When your defense gives up 24 points in a half, they definitely get the lions share of the blame. They went into conservative mode on offense in...
Choked, their defense gave up a 20 point lead in the 2nd half. On top of that, their OL gave up 3 sacks and 10 QB hits. Are you trying to say...
Well Herbert hasn’t missed a game, has a higher career QB rating and a playoff start. Not to mention Tua likely won’t be in the NFL in 3-4 years.
He’s had an awful game. But compare Manning’s 2nd year numbers and Lawrence’s. You’re going to be surprised.
No, he’s just really bad at drafting and pretty much wasted the Laremy Tunsil trade. That and he’s the most consistent factor to our inability to...
Unfortunately, he struggled staying healthy in college too. I would have had no issues taking him in the 2nd round but I’ll ever understand why...
The irony is everyone assumed we were moving up to take Lane Johnson who not only has had a great career, also plays at a huge position of need...
I don’t know who to believe on that one. I’ve also heard that he wanted Herbert. Applying logic vs here say, why would a coach whose job is...
The irony is 23 years later, we’re still looking for our franchise QB and continue to make bad decisions with our approach. We had all the draft...
Do you think the quality of the rosters were the same?
The problem is the GM. Flores likely isn’t the answer but I know Grier definitely isn’t the answer. He’s blundered a Cowboys dynasty level trade.
Flores last 2 seasons, 10-6 and 9-8. McDaniel 9-8. How is that better? We just got lucky we backed our way in this year and other teams were...
Armstead, Hill and Chubb have all made pro bowls
So far with 3 pro bowlers added to this years team, McDaniel hasn’t been any better than Flores who had way less talent and experience. While...
He’s not durable and never has been. That was my concern going into the draft. I wanted Herbert or Wirfs and was adamantly against Tua....
With 3 concussions this year, I don’t think it’s worth risking his brain and health long term for a game.
Occasionally when your team wins some playoff games you have optimism. For Miami, well, 20 years is a long time and a lot of mistakes we keep...
Any word on Armstead? He’s tier 2 priority to protect whoever starts at QB
Tua/Armstead- Buf 31 Mia 20 No Tua- Buf 34 Mia 10
I guess the bigger problem is this buys Grier more time and he’s the biggest road block to ever winning a Super Bowl. Well outside of Ross but...
If we had a healthy roster or finished strong to make the playoffs, I’d share your same sentiment. From 8-3 to needing a Patriots loss to make it...
I think the biggest priority should be firing Chris Grier followed closely by Boyer
2020- 10-6, no playoffs 2021- 9-8, no playoffs 2022- 9-8, playoffs On one hand, making the playoffs is a good stepping stone. On the other,...
Point is this team isn’t built to contend and all of our draft capital is gone. We went all in to finish with the exact same record we had with...
It is about winning a Super Bowl but if you want to think of this as a stepping stone we backed our way into the playoffs losing 5/6 with the...
I’d rather see Tua play a full season than any meaningless number 1 passer rating stat that won’t matter when we’re watching other teams after we...
Is it too late to sign a kicker for this kick….
At least every offensive drive there’s some breakdown in play, play calling, clock management or shifts.
Lol, watching this season go down in
Even if it gets overturned, can we stop them on 4th? If it’s a punt, doesn’t feel like we’re going to score
Good thing we traded for Chubb, our pass rush against this decimated OL is….non-existent
They call that and haven’t called any of the other PI calls!?! This is insane
If Grier has done one thing well, it’s building a roster made of glass
Not to mention if we had a starter QB in any one of the 5 games he’s missed, we’d likely already have the playoffs locked up. Tua was great for...
So little discipline on this team
When’s the last time we’ve forced a turnover?
God he needs to learn how to use that challenge flag
How is that not PI?
Doesn’t get more Miami than that play
This is my problem with this team, we get some momentum and then shoot ourselves in the foot because we’re undisciplined
Good thing we got rid of our previous staff, traded for Hill and signed a glass LT for this offensive explosion!
If the defense hasn’t figured it out 16 weeks into the season, they’re not going to the next 2 weeks. The real question is Boyer not the right...
The correct answer is for Grier to hit on one of his two OT draft picks in the top 2 rounds. But we all know how that worked out lol
Uses free agency and trading picks to cover up the fact he couldn’t draft to save his a**. His plan is imploding again. It’s time for him to go.
They’re no joke either. My college roommate who was our MLB had gotten his 9th concussion. I was told I needed to wake him up every 2-3 hours....
Problem is he played in an era when you could actually hit the QB and they weren’t playing powder puff football.
Not to mention nothing is more toxic or dysfunctional that this organization we all cheer for.
Feel horrible for him, his family and his teammates. Not good visibility for the nfl this year with that and the Tua concussion hand thing this year.
There is no line. That’s inexcusable. I’m reading up on the story and he said he was teaching his son to box. Not sure what to believe and if...
I don’t know anything about Hill’s past. Did he have 33 accusations of sexual misconduct?
Yeah, just imagine had we stayed put at 10 in 2021 and drafted Parsons, Slater, Darrisaw or even AVT and still had that extra pick. With Parsons,...
To me, this speaks to the conundrum of Tua. Games he didn’t play or left, we averaged 17.2 points per game. They average 26.4 when he’s healthy....
Chris Grier should write a book, how to blunder 13 1st and 2nd round picks over a 4 year span.
If Tua is out, this game is doomed. Either way, this season is doomed. No way we go to Buffalo/Cincy and win a road game.
I wish Flores was given the level of investment they’ve given McDaniel. But it’s hard to fault McDaniel when your QB has missed 4 games, 4/5 of...
Hard to fix an offense when your GM can’t draft and hands you the worst starting OL in the NFL. No point in crying over spilled milk but it’s...
The 9ers have one of the best OL’s in the NFL and we have one of the worst. Not to mention pro bowl TE and RB that we don’t have. You could put...
I can’t blame McDaniel, he was given a QB who’s missed 4 games and a crappy OL. Really hard to be successful when you’re one dimensional and...
Just went back and reviewed Griers drafts from 2017-2020, it’s almost impressive how bad his drafts have been. Top draft picks over that time...
No thanks, I don’t care how good he is at throwing the football. If he had all those indiscretions, I’m out not matter if Tua is made of glass or not.
Why would this site start now? There’s at least one major troll who’s been allowed to survive for a long time.
Hate to say it, I dont know that he’s any better than Flores. We’re going to have the same record as Flores last year and we added Armstead,...
The worst part is this isn’t getting better. No 1st round picks this year. A lot of big contracts and need to resign Wilkins at some point. You...
So many potential issues with this collapse. Special teams, offense, QB, defense, coaching, GM, owner.
The first firing should be Grier. Let the next GM evaluate it McDaniel is his guy. This entire roster has Griers thumbprint. Not only is it...
Doesn’t help missing 4 starters. Having said that, if Grier wasn’t so bad at drafting, maybe we’d have someone to replace Jones, some LB’s and/or...
Purdy has a significantly better offense and team around him. This entire roster is a fraud
It’s really a case study in how to build a disastrous roster. Draft a fragile QB who can’t stay healthy. Build a sh**y OL that can’t run the...
Game over. Season over.
Well Tua misses games every season and that is part of the problem. You basically start out the season with 3-4 losses in those games he doesn’t...
Either this team is made of glass or were the unluckiest team ever
Might as well follow up a missed block with a penalty
Would be nice to force a turnover
Is there a team more injured than Miami
There’s your experienced QB making experienced play taking a huge sack
Looked like a pretty blatant hold to me. The better question is what in the hell is he doing and why?
This is one of the most penalized teams in the NFL. Just unacceptable
I hope I never see Sander’s in a dolphins uniform again
Just a mentally weak team. Probably for the better as we would have spotted NE another 7.
So painful to watch this implosion. It’s like a bad nightmare that won’t go away
It doesn’t get any more Miami than watching all of Griers moves impode in a game that really matters.
Football is a team sport and it’s hard to be successful at the highest level when you’re one dimensional like we are. An improvement in special...
I don’t see any reason he should resign. Don’t think that would be a good career move. It’s clear he needs to evolve and grow as a HC. Let’s...
I’m starting to wonder whether we even make the playoffs. This Sunday feels like a loss and who knows about the Jets, especially if Tua misses...
I remember reading he was so sore after that game he could barely get out of bed. Crazy to think that a NFL player doing his job was incapable of...
I know my gripes will influence 0 change but I’m going to refuse to buy into any hope of our organization taking the next step until he’s gone.
Regardless of opinions on Tua or my selfish desire to see our team in the playoffs, he needs to start thinking about his long term health.
To be fair, Flores had Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg at LT instead of Armstead and no Tyreke Hill. Maybe his personality dug his own grave...
He also never had a running game back when QB’s didn’t wear skirts and you needed one and rarely had top 10 defenses. Look at the number of...
Not making excuses for him. I didn’t want him in the first place. More condemning Grier for drafting a tiny, injury prone QB and not giving him...
We didn’t do Tua any favors by fielding such a sh*** OL the last years. If you’re going to draft a small injury prone QB, you better put a wall...
I’m not gonna bag on Ogbah because he’s played his heart out the last few years and earned his contract. Those others have not lived up to their...
Backing our way into the playoffs doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. We haven’t been good on the road and I don’t see us winning in Buffalo, KC...
The recipe has been consistent. Bad or inconsistent, using FA and this time trading our abundance of picks for players to try and build a roster....
I don’t think you’re one of them but there’s supporting the team and then there’s some of the a**hats on this board. It’s one thing to have a...
I think it’s very telling that 2/3 of the vote(players and coaches) didn’t vote him in. Now he could very well be the 4th or 5th best QB in the...
Well he tampered with a player under contract costing us a 1st round pick furthering screwing up our future.
If Grier has proven one thing it’s he doesn’t know how to build a roster and is completely clueless. Might gain some respect if Ross actually...
I will never trust a team lead by Bozo Ross and Grier. Grier pulled off one of the biggest trades of all time and has wasted it.
Lol
Not as brutal as watching regular season collapse after collapse.
Even if we do win out and eek our way into the playoffs, who is this team beating on the road with no defense, horrible special teams and...
Another NFL season, another Miami meltdown. Same old s**t, different year.
Our special teams are so miserably bad
I think the biggest problem with our offense is the lack of a consistent running game. Our OL is shaky with some bright spots at LT, C and RG....
I don’t see us beating Ciny, Buf or KC on the road so I’m not sure it matters.
I hear you but a lot of teams are dealing with that. Chargers are missing Bosa, James and Slater. Bills Miller, Hyde and Poyer for a chunk of...
After letting the bourbon and emotions wear off, here are my thoughts: The Good: -our running game -tua played very well in spite of the...
Everybody has injuries. Buffalo was missing 2 all pro defensive players and managed to shut us down when it mattered.
I hope it’s scheme and not players. Howard and Holands play has dropped off significantly but maybe it’s due to injuries around them. Our ILB’s...
Do you trust Grier to rebuild it? We’ve already invested a lot in our defense and it’s garbage
No doubt. Grier has done a sh*** job of managing this roster and drafting. We literally had a cowboys dynasty type of trade and are a marginal...
The defense gave up 32 points. Whether it was our sh**iness or Allen’s greatness I don’t know. What I do know is they’ve given up 24.6 points a...
I think the problem is unless you have Burrow, Allen or Mahomes, you better have a great team around your QB to beat them. And we certainly...
If Sherfield catches the TD pass or if Boyer knew his head from his ***, that game was winnable
When your offense scores 29 and you still lose it’s on your defense not the refs. No excuses. Chubb, Phillips, Howard, Holland, Wilkins, Davis,...
Remember that time when we had all the draft picks in the world and Grier pissed it down his legs
Miami is just a flawed team. Poor defense, poor OL and built from the outside in is no way to win.
The irony of getting rid of your coach, bringing in a new one, trading away your future and still missing the playoffs. Sounds like a dolphins...
We know how this story ends. Hopefully we can pick up 2 out of the last 3
buffalo was missing most of their secondary for a significant part of this season. Besides, we traded for Chubb, where has he been
What!?!? You call that and no PI
Everyone has injuries. We were giving up 25 points a game the first 4 games and still are. Defense is not good
For as much as we’ve invested in our defense, it’s one of the worst in the nfl. Grier needs to go.
Allen is a b****
Would be nice to force a turnover for once
Wow, nice!!!
Offense not good enough. Defense definitely not good enough. Might make the playoffs but this team isn’t going on the road and beating anyone good
This defense is worthless
Miami just not built to compete with the best teams in the NFL. Major flaws in too many key places
Allen is big and can run. Plus his arm strength is better so if passing does happen, he’s got the better chance.
I don’t think this game ends well for Miami. We’ve got 0 run game and I don’t think Tua is a cold weather QB. Maybe our front 7 can keep us in...
At this point, I’m going to see how the rest of this season plays out before making any judgment. His career QB Rating is 95 which would put him...
You bring up my concerns too. We know Grier sucks at drafting and it appears that Chubb has made little to no impact on our defense. Then bozo...
I guess making the playoffs no matter how bad we get beat is step 1 towards building a winner. Step 2 is winning more of these games in December...
The rest of the season will be about whether Tua is a one trick pony or whether he can make the adjustments to make the defense cover more of the...
I think LAC did a great job of harassing our receivers throwing off the timing of our passing game. Tua also hasn’t looked comfortable the last 2...
After the Bills loss this weekend, we basically have to win out to make the playoffs. If we don’t make it, coupled with the fact that Grier...
Seeing a soft team getting beat by a team that’s fighting and wants to win
LAC missing both tackles, we should be owning the LOS
No excuses for someone making that much money to just quit on a play
To renegotiate a contract twice and then just give up a play in a game that matters a lot. I can handle decline with age and a bad decision but...
Howard is a joke. He needs to give Miami a refund
Wow, wtf
Really feels like we need a turnover or two to have a chance at winning this game. Time for Chubb to earn that big contract against a back up OT
Let’s do something here. Good solid drive. Not just one big play. D needs a breather
It’s really hard to be overly optimistic about the playoffs after seeing the last 6 quarters
Offense needs to wake up. Too many miscues
Does anyone know if Armstead is playing?
Time to move on. Hopefully McDaniel learned some things and can coach it up. The turnaround has been remarkable so I’m gonna continue to trust...
Can’t complain about this. Need to do something to keep Tua upright. At the very least, he’ll bring some veteran leadership. Hopefully he’s got...
No one is excited about Tuas performance and/or injury today. Maybe 1-2 sickos. I think everyone wants to believe this team is a contender. I...
Tua certainly could have won the game today and played horribly. But I also think injuries pretty much made us abandon the run game. We only...
Tua crapped the bed today but you can’t field this bad of an OL against this good of a defense and expect to win. This has played out pretty much...
Time to put in Thompson to keep Tua healthy and live for another day
The calls stank today but we got beat in the trenches on offense and Tua was outplayed by a 3rd string QB. Everyone has a bad game, just hoping...
Just leaving too many plays on the field to win this one
Let’s hope this is an off game for Tua and not a reversion to the mean. This is game over.
These refs are killing us today
Miami 10, SF 3, refs 7-14
If Tua settles down here, we’re winning this game
Going into this game expecting a loss and if we win, great! Just not sure we’re going to be able to move the ball that effectively. I’ll be...
Mahomes has one of the better OL’s in the NFL. With Armstead, we’re at least solid. Without, well that’s my biggest fear heading into this game...
We’ve got 2 things colliding this weekend, SF’s 4 game winning streak vs our 5 game winning streak. Our streak is against teams that are 16-39-1,...
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe more packages with Smythe since we really don’t use Gesicki anymore
Really hope Armstead is only out 2-3 weeks. Couldn’t happen at a worse time with the pass rushes we’ll be facing. This is a good signing. Just...
Hope you had a great trip! 8-3, Armstead comes back soon.
I don’t feel good about that game at all. SF has a top tier defense and can get to the QB. We saw what happened to this offense once Armstead...
Back to having the worst OL in the NFL again. Hard to see more than 3 wins through the rest of the season with some of the pass rushes we’ll be...
Hopefully we can find someone decent in the 2nd or 3rd round. Also need ILB and CB but keeping Tua healthy and utilizing our WR’s are the key to...
Outside of Tua, Armstead was the one injury we couldn’t afford. I know he’s good when healthy but the guy can’t stay healthy and Tua’s health...
Feel like we have the Pats number and the Jets could give us troubles, so would rather the team I think we have a higher probability win.
I was very critical of the Flores firing and it would be hard to argue that McDaniel wasn’t a major upgrade. Feels good to beat the teams we...
Maybe this is the long time pessimistic side of my fandom but this seems one Terron Armstead injury from falling apart. Tuas health relies on...
That Jeff Wilson trade is looking like a home run. He looked great running it today
Same, it exposes a lot of weakness mental or physical, it’s almost the perfect self improvement system. Especially from the standpoint if you...
Nice, my gym is affiliated with Caique. Started training at 42(3 years ago) but have done various martial arts for over a decade. BJJ has been...
I’m going to go with Phillips, Holland and Howard. Those are supposed to the strong points of our defense. Phillips was out of position and lost...
I could care less about style points or blow outs. Wins are all that matter. This is NFL and everyone is a professional. Match ups still...
I’m giving Chubb a pass because he’s been a dolphin for 5 days. But to get so little pressure/sacks against a team that has given up the most is...
Every time we’ve tried, Chicago blew up the play. You’re spot on
F this game. Piss poor throws when it matters, horrible play calling and sh*** tackling
Tuas gotta stop under throwing those
Gonna need to throw to win this game. Don’t trust the defense to close this game out
Miami cannot tackle. Ridiculous
Averaging 11 YPA and we run it 3 straight plays. What the hell
Why run it on 3rd
Phillips gotta hold that edge better. Fields is just abusing him today
Fundamentals of missing tackles by the 2022 Miami Dolphins
I’m over Jason Sanders
2m is a lot of time for this offense. Let’s answer that Td with one of our own
Never thought I’d see the day where Howard is the weak link on the defense but he’s been getting burned all season
He’s got one of the top 3 highest pass rush win rates this season. Sacks aren’t the only indicator. I’m not saying there isn’t some risk here...
Glad we locked in that contract. That’s the only way it made sense to give up a first rounder. Here’s to hoping the team doctors made a better...
Really disappointed in Ogbah’s drop off this year. Not sure if he’s banged up, got paid and got lazy or it’s just the talent around him.
The 3 picks SF traded to get our #3 pick who they user to select Lance
Did we essentially turn the Trey Lance pick into Waddle, Hill and Bradley Chubb?
Do we know when Byron Jones will be back? This defense could be downright scary with the addition of Chubb, both our corners finally healthy...
Highest pass rush win rate: Parsons- 32% Garrett- 30% Chubb- 27%
Would love to see us add some OL depth or someone who can play G. Need to keep Tua healthy to have any chance at the playoffs this year
Sounds like we sent a 2023 5th for Wilson
Mia gets: DE- Chubb 2025 5th rounder Den gets: 2023 1st(SF) 2024 4th rounder RB- Edmonds
Sounds like it’s at least the 2023 SF 1st rounder
Sounds like Miami got Bradley Chubb. Anyone else hearing this? Wonder what we gave up
Tough crowd here. I love seeing how he energizes his team. You can tell they fight harder for him than anyone else.
It’s not like Chris Grier is good at drafting, which is why we have to trade for a pass rusher in the first place. I wouldn’t be too upset if...
Lol, seems like that pretty much sums up my Monday :-)
Just say no to first rounders for RB. I think bigger needs are: LG, RT, CB and pass rusher.
I think for a lot of people, including myself, it was durability concerns. He had issues with injuries his sophomore and senior season in...
I think durability and how long his body will hold up in the NFL. Clearly he’s shown he can play at a high level with the right system, coach and...
Yeah, I think it was a good no call. Definitely some contact but it was equal and both ways, maybe even more of a push off on the WR
I don’t understand how so many guys can be lined up off sides. Sounds like their next practice needs to focus on where the LOS is
FFS, finally have a good return and of course a penalty. This is like the old school Raiders teams that always lead the NFL in penalties year in...
He’s the weak link on our OL so it’s a fair question. You’d have to think he’s better then the back up, otherwise why is he starting?
Is X still banged up badly and how much is it impacting his play? He looks like he barely even belongs as a starting corner
This team looks very undisciplined and soft. Next to no pass rush, can’t run the ball and way too many mental mistakes on both sides of the ball
Doesn’t get more Miami than getting our hopes up and then getting blown out by the 1-5 Lions
He’s a significantly better blocker and he’s been every bit as productive in the receiving game even though he’s been in the quagmire that is the...
He looked a little rusty yesterday but the first 3 games showed he can make plays and help this team win games. I still don’t trust him to ever...
You have to celebrate the close wins. In years past, this was a game we lost. Part of being a playoff team is winning games like this.
4-3 with 4 very winnable games coming up. Hell of a win tonight!
Wow, ugly win but what grit!
Why does this feel like the last 2 decades all over again….
Any time you lose when you only give up 17 points, it’s on the offense. Can’t complain about the defense given all the injuries in the secondary.
BIG time play!!!!
Tua really needs to stop running head first into defenders. If he goes down again, this team is screwed. And he really doesn’t need a 2nd/3rd...
Our OL was ranked 31st going into yesterdays game.
Just goes to show what happens when you have a good GM in place who hits on his draft picks.
We’ve been playing musical chair QB’s since Marino retired.
This x1000. If you’re going to draft a small QB who can’t stay healthy in college, you can’t give him the worst OL in the NFL.
Buf and KC ahead of them
Meanwhile the Jets are 4-2 and in 3rd place in the AFC. In one off-season. Meanwhile Grier gets handed 9 picks in 2 rounds over 2 years and it’s...
It was pretty clear you guys were both talking about the same poster(cbrad). I know your posting history. You’re not a troll and you’re a good...
This would be where cbrad is referencing name calling. It’s pretty obvious this comment was directed at him. I get we’re all frustrated here,...
Maybe Grier should go intern for the Jets scouting dept to learn a few things
Just poor team discipline. Even in spite of the OL and QB issues, this game was winnable without all the critical mistakes.
No way Tua stays healthy behind this OL. Really inexcusable to keep fielding the worst OL in the NFL.
And this is the flaw with the Dolphins strategy, you’re relying on 2 guys who never stay healthy for a full season. On top of piss poor drafting....
Same old hapless and helpless Dolphins. 101 ways to end .500 played out over 2 decades
Waddle just f***ed us
This is why you don’t build from the outside in. It’s great having the best WR tandem in the nfl but they don’t matter when you can’t block or...
Still have the worst OL in the NFL. When your plan is to rely on an OT who’s never played a full season, you’ve got a bad plan.
Any word on Howard? If he’s out, feel like Jefferson could be setting some records today
We’re fooked
This x1000. We had 9 1st and 2 round picks in the 2020-2021 draft and all we have to show for it is a good G, S and WR. Tua is good when healthy...
Outside of Howard, who are these pro bowl players you speak of? Clearly you’d like to have a few of them if you want to win at a high level.
I’m starting to wonder if Miami needs to start thinking about moving on from Jones/Howard. They’ve both had some health issues and tie up a lot of...
According to PFF, Williams and Hunt have played at a high level. I think overall the OL is better, we just have 2(Liam, Little) weak links(3 when...
We now see the difference between the preseason and the regular season. I thought he played about as well as you could expect a 3rd stringer to...
I’ve been thinking about that a lot. Rousseau has been having a great season and Phillips just seems non-existent.
Also, our defensive scheme relies on having 2 corners who can play man to man. Both of our starting corners today were undrafted and major...
This is a little premature when your offense is relying on a 3rd string rookie QB who doesn’t know the playbook and has no regular season experience
Not many teams are going to win with a 3rd string QB with your best OL and DB out. Hopefully we can get Tua and Armstead back next week. The...
We’re relying on a 3rd string QB, a Back up LT and 2 back up corners. Our offense can’t function properly. Frustrating watching the perennial...
After watching the first 3 games, I’m somewhere in between. He’s shown he can make some high level plays and win games for us. I don’t think...
Obviously hope we win this game but if we don’t, 3-1 is still better than I thought we’d be. Looking at the 8 games following Cincy, there’s a...
I’ve been as critical as anyone on Tua and hard not to like what we’re seeing this year. I don’t think anyone believes he’s in the top echelon...
Keeping Armstead and Tua healthy are gonna be key to this teams success. We saw how bad Bridgewater looked and we’ve seen how bad our OL is when...
Every time you thought Miami would lose this, they found a way to win drives or battles when it mattered. I know Buffalo was decimated with...
Miami messed up taking Phillips over Rousseau. He’s a beast
This. I think that’s the biggest issue with the defense going back to last year. We have to bring extra guys to get any pressure which works...
Overall great team win. Still have some concerns about the OL. Too many hits on Tua and not running the ball well. But Bellicheat always pretty...
10-7, wild card and then get stomped in the first round.
Miami is writing the text book on how to blunder a dynasty building trade. This is what football purgatory looks like. Really wish he’d sell and...
One is a highly paid NFL executive and the other are keyboard jockey’s, some of whom have never played a down of football. See the difference
It’s crazy to think what would have happened had Minkah stayed in Miami. Now you don’t take Austin Jackson. Then maybe you don’t take Holland at...
Hard not to like this. Outside of QB/OL, pass rush was the one I was most concerned about.
In 2 drafts, the Bengals landed one of the best young QB’s in the NFL and one of the top 3 WR’s in the NFL, catapulting them to the super bowl....
If Miami was dumb enough to think they were a super bowl contender in year 3 of a massive rebuild with a QB who can’t stay healthy, one of the...
Sam LaPort is a college football player who opted to come back for another season.
I’m a huge Tyler Linderbaum fan so I’ll watch it to see where he ends up. Outside of that, not a lot of interest.
This thread it titled Tua is not the problem which implies any point in that context is either supporting or arguing against. The whole reason...
Hard to argue with what they’ve done this off-season. They resigned our 2nd best player, signed the best OL, hopefully made X happy traded for a...
I’m not seeing this narrative anywhere in this thread. Several people have said they hope this doesn’t come back to bite us but haven’t seen any...
Parker and a 2022 5th for a 2023 3rd per ESPN...
https://bleacherreport.com/post/nfl-rumors/4395f8c9-93b6-43fc-9dda-26c1edb240f6 Heard it’s a 3rd rounder. Good trade for Miami but man I hate...
I think the key point is this frustration is directed at Grier more so than Tua. Can’t blame Tua for where he was picked. He’s doing everything...
Agreed. At the same time, it’s hard to trust your Gm when he whiffs on franchise QB decisions and entire drafts. I like most of the moves this...
Hopefully you’re smart enough to realize this is a western, gunslinger narrative used by the media to get ratings l. Most fans have never played...
What competitive situation were they in that they faced each other 1 vs 1? Or are you saying that in a team sport, 1 person literally beats the...
Nice try. Acting like QB play solely factored into the outcome of a game in a team sport without taking into consideration one team had one of...
You’re 100% right. Tua did a great job on defense that day! As always, spot on Watson!
I don’t think hate is the right word. I don’t know the man personally and all signs point to him that he’s a good human being. I would say...
I’m definitely singing a different tune. Now it comes down to can Tua actually play a full season and can he be good enough to lead us to a super...
I’ll be interested to see what we can get for Parker. On one hand, when he’s healthy he’s a pro bowl caliber WR. On the other hand, he’s rarely...
Very excited about this move and Armstead. Now there’s no excuses for Tua. He’s got the OL and the weapons. It’s clear McDaniel and Grier are...
My buddy who’s a Jets fan says KC wants their #4 and #10. No idea how many picks we’d have to give up to get there. Then you have to factor in...
Hearing rumors that Miami and NYJ are in trade talks with KC for Tyreke Hill. Man that would be killer if we land him!
I just saw on the Herald it’s $87.5mm with $43ish guaranteed. Also just looked at his games started over his career and he’s averaged just under...
I’m hearing 5 years $75 million for Armstead. Very happy about this signing! Let’s hope he can string together a few healthy seasons.
I worded that poorly. I was talking about LV in that instant. That’s what happens when you try and juggle too many things at once :-)
Keep hoping I’m gonna see an Armstead signing. I wonder how much of the delay is him playing the market vs medical evaluations. Even if he’s...
I mentioned them both beside they both beat us last year and we weren’t even competitive against Ten. To be fair, I think Tua was out and if so,...
There’s a lot of people inside our fanbase that don’t trust Grier or Ross to make the right decisions to turn this franchise around. Can you...
He had the 5th highest QB rating last year. He’s certainly taken his fair share of bumps and bruises but has only missed 3 games in his career...
If someone wants to discuss football or more specifically the Dolphins, what else is there to talk about? I thought the whole point of forums was...
I don’t know how you can call adding a franchise/top 5 QB getting slightly better for Denver. And the Chargers got substantially better. They...
At this point in the off-season it’s pretty clear we’ve lost ground to multiple teams. But this is what happens when Ross is your owner and your...
Hard to say. I’ve watched Linderbaum every year at Iowa and he’s one of the most dominant OL I’ve seen. I know his combine measurables weren’t...
He didn’t get benched on accident. Having said that, I’d say Austin Jackson was a bigger driver killer and one of the worst starting OL in the...
Overall I agree with your point. The only spot I’d differ is, I’d say the way Hunt played down the stretch was pretty good. I want to say the...
I think we had a lot of guys playing out of position because of Jackson’s failure as a LT. The reason Liam slid to the 2nd round is he lacks the...
Bills signing Von Miller. Guess it’s gonna be a fight for 2nd/3rd place.
With the rules so skewed towards offense, especially pass interference calls, I think you need to give both teams a chance to score in OT...
I’m coming around on Williams. Sounds like maybe he was benched because of penalties and then finished the season starting. Really was hoping...
Hard to say. Iowa had a G that couldn’t even crack the starting lineup that was rated top 10 for most of the season. They also had Iowa’s OL...
lol, ok
Then why did he get benched? And if he’s so good at his position, why was he penalized so much?
If you think these comments are just about this off-season or the first 2 days of FA then I’ve got some ocean front property to sell you in North...
Really underwhelming off-season for the Dolphins. Happy with Ogbah and Gesicki for one year but other than that, we’ve added a bunch of depth...
So add an average G to the worst OL and it’s fixed! Love Griers off-season plan.
On one hand I agree with you. On the other, money doesn’t change mental health disorders, depression or substance abuse issues. Now they have...
Looks like we have about $26mm left. It takes what, $8mm to sign a draft class? Doesn’t really leave much to fix the OL. Maybe restructuring X...
Cedrick Wilson a dolphins for 3 years $22.8mm
That was my problem with last years draft. I wanted Humphrey or Meinerz. I like tough, nasty OL. To me that’s Tyler Linderbaum who was a very...
I don’t share your confidence regarding the coaching and more importantly the person who makes the decision on draft picks. More importantly, if...
Grier loves signing cheap FA RB that don’t work out. Was really hoping we’d get Hall or Walker in the 2nd.
We just signed Chase Edmonds for 2 year $12.6mm
One of the most important FA signings we needed this off-season. Now let’s go get a T/G and try to give Tua/this offense some time.
Sounds like Dolphins and Ogbah did a $32mm guarantee(4 year, $65mm) deal. Very happy with that!
That and $90mm guaranteed over the next 3 years. If we were one player away and had the cap, I’d be all over it. Since we’re nowhere near one...
Miami falling even further behind in the AFC. Maybe we’ll make a super bowl sometime in the 2030’s. Great trade for Denver.
Explain to me how having a 7 time all-pro would be “bad” over a guy who was a serviceable #3 WR?
Certainly not a small receiver who was afraid of contact in the B10. You had Pat Willis there who I wanted, Revis, Timmons and plenty of good...
I’m not upset with a tag. Resign Ogbah, extend Howard/Wilkins, go sign Armstead and maybe Tomlinson. Draft another WR at 29 and then find a RB...
Not worth the #9 pick and no one who watched him in college besides his parents thought so. Another dumb decision in a long line of dumb...
All I know is Linderbaum is a tough SOB and one of the best OL I’ve seen at Iowa. A very good HS wrestler he’s got a nastiness about him....
Unfortunately Chris Grier traded us out of the Tyler Linderbaum sweepstakes. Would love to see him in a fins uniform but doubt he’ll be there.
Personally, I’d rather trade back vs trade up. Depending on how Tua progresses, we might need both of those picks next year to get a QB....
I mean Tua was injured, Parker was injured, Davis was injured, Howard/Jones were both banged up/injured plus we were starting 4 rookies all the...
Can’t really blame players. Make your money and protect your brain/health long term.
I could definitely get behind this. I think our best path forward is taking our good defense and making it elite and trying to get our OL to...
I think the key takeaway is you can’t always rely on 1st round picks to hit. My biggest knock on Grier outside of Tua over Herbert, is he really...
It’s saying video unavailable.
Very easy to do so when you have one of the best OL’s in the NFL. I don’t believe in drafting RB’s higher than the 2nd round. If Walker or...
Yeah, they’ve got one of the best QB’s and WR’s in the league. Now they need to build a wall and let them wreck defenses.
Running the ball becomes much easier when you’re working with one of the top 3 OL’s in the NFL. If he run the ball effectively with our OL, then...
Anyone who watched RTH while in Miami knew he could make some amazing throws but had major faults in his game. If you cover up those faults with...
No, not for any price or stock pick. Just no. That guy isn’t going to be able to stay healthy and we already have that at QB.
I guess Minkah is going to have to ask for another trade. Maybe we can trade Austin Jackson for him and have the best safety tandem in NFL history.
I think we need a big, physical WR that can catch red zone TD’s, especially if we move on from Gesicki. Maybe if we can build a dominant run game...
I’d be happy if we signed Tomlinson so we could move Jackson out of the NFL. Then move Liam to RT to see if he has any chance of being ok or if...
At one point I’d hoped we’d get Linderbaum in the middle of the 1st round but Grier Griered us.
How many have you been in with Flores to act like you know what you’re talking about?
I’m still scorned but that trade to NE which turned into Samson Satele
My cousin has worked for several NFL teams and had a 1 year stint in Washington. All I can say is he left as quickly as possible because in his...
Only problem is SF has an amazing roster in spite of their QB and Miami has, well, Chris Grier….you know
I did Oktoberfest in 2019 before Covid hit. Tip your waitress 20 euro right out of the gate and then do your best to stay sober lol
Agreed. It’s easy to say he was an abysmal coach when the Gm takes Tua over Herbert, Austin Jackson over Justin Jefferson and Noah I over...
That’s why I will remain skeptical until proven wrong about our new HC. Every 2-3 years it’s hey, look, we’ve got a new head coach that’s gonna...
Well he’s walking into a situation with a QB who can’t stay healthy and has limitations that a gimmick offense had to be designed around that....
Great post hitman! My reason for not wanting to draf Tua is I didn’t think he had the potential to be elite and he can’t stay healthy. The crazy...
Every mock draft I did had us taking Creed in the 2nd round. Love any OL that wrestled. I’m not gonna complain about Holland but really wanted...
Or becuse we drafted a fragile QB who missed 4 full games and 2 1/2 games, our GM hasn’t been able to assemble a respectable OL since he got here,...
IF true, Flores would become my all-time favorite former coach.
Agreed. It was pretty clear early on that Burrow had separated from the pack in spite of what people thought coming into the season.
It’s hard to know what to believe at this point. How much of what was leaked post-Flores firing was spin to cover up their tracks for firing an AA...
Sounds like special teams coordinators will be lining up for the job after this lol
Someone else said it but you also have to give credit to Cincys defense in the playoffs. They’re giving up less than 20 points per game. How...
Well if he can’t figure out a way to scheme around one player(and I know he’s the best of the best)we’re not going to have a chance against Judon,...
What happened to McDaniels offense in the 2nd half with a 10 point lead in one of the most important games of the season? Seems like if he was...
If Harbaugh comes back to the NFL and it’s not the Dolphins I will view that as the last in a long line of failures for Miami. It will be hard to...
You and a few Miami fans are the only people that think that. Chase is not only the best WR in this draft class but he might very well be the...
Definitely. But we got rid of the architect of that defense so what are we left with? I know the hope is that stays the same and an offense...
I think one of the issues with our defense is we struggled getting pressure consistently. Phillips showed some promise but he disappeared at...
