That's the first I've heard of the owner being the real issue.

Based on, I refuse to buy the spin. You think Incognito is the only guy on the roster with any of these issues? You only heard about Incognito...

3.7 is good run defense. Especially when Geno Smith runs for 44 of those yards. Not having Dion Jordan shadow Geno Smith is a head scratcher.
Very much agree. But don't mistake all "biggest test" yet as being equal. This was bigger than the New England game. If they made the playoffs, a...
I'm not calling for a new QB. I like Tannehill. He has consistently improved, and we don't know yet where his ceiling is. But you never really...
The offensive line, who never "make plays" had their best pass blocking game of the season. They gave Tannehill plenty of time to make a play. He...
I don't think I agree with that at all. He slipped on the interception, and had a solid day overall. I blame everyone who played below their...
Odrick, Starks, Soliai, all played well against the run. The offensive line, backs, and tight ends, gave Tannehill more time than he has had all...
But you make it sound 50/50. It's not. Tannehill has an average today, and the Dolphins are in the playoffs.
I wrote the following in the "choke" thread: ------------------------- I saw the best pass protection all season I saw a complete commitment to...
Geno Smith made some plays today, he looked far from anything I'd consider "great." Never blame the defense for a loss when the offense only scores 7.
I saw the best pass protection all season I saw a complete commitment to a struggling running game ultimately pay dividends by sticking with...
I'd argue for that. Tannehill has consistently gotten better under him and Sherman. Is that enough to win coach of the year?
Pure speculation. But you did make me think how the dynamics are reversed now. Instead of the Veteran bringing the young Tackle under his wing....
But MY words are the only ones that make sense coming out of your mouth. The coach IS the PR face of every franchise but 1. (Dallas) You danced...
Since when? The only team for whom the PR (Public relations) face of the franchise is NOT the head coach is the Dallas Cowboys.
"You're absolutely right. He is the PR face of the franchise." Would have sufficed.
Who the hell is the PR face of the franchise if not the head coach? Seriously, how long have you been following football?
Respect is mutual. But where do you disagree? Just curious. (and arrogantly astounded that anyone would question my rock solid arguments)

Hey! I resent that. This is the first time I've complained about Wallace. And honestly, it is mostly in the context of criticizing Philbin for...
The Hernandez issue was a purely off the field issue. The "bullying" scandal called into question everyone within the organization and actually...
Even Dion Jordan and Mike Wallace?
Two things you should know already. 1. A tweet is not a press release. 2. Many of you are pretty damned sexist.

Correct. It is on a rotating basis. Not on seeding. Only 2 games out of 16 on every team's schedule are dictated by seeding. For the Dolphins this...

The Dolphins are 3-0, and now have a 75% chance of making the playoffs. Yet I'm looking at how giddy the fanbase is due to the first 3-0 start in...
I definitely see Jesse and Walt in a scenario in which Walt's life is squarely in Jesse's hands. But I doubt it plays out in a predictable manner.
Are you still rooting for Walter White? He corrupted his wife. He's left his children worse off than if he had remained a chemistry teacher and...

I think the 35 minute delay, it being the first full game of the season, and the mile high effect had them falling apart by the second half. Plus...
I completely disagree. Sherman is going to be responsible for putting up the points on offense. And Coyle, he has to do the opposite. He has to...
I'm not disparaging what Jake was before 2012, just pointing out that the position he played poorly last year should see improvement this year.

I wouldn't disagree that he's improved. But, for a QB who just about doubled his career starts in the past year, he BETTER be improved. The...

Completely disagree. That wasn't the conclusion I came to at all. And I didn’t see a lot of people accusing Wallace of being a bigot or homophobe,...
To be fair, it may have been Dick Van Patten. I have Mike Wallace's tweet as evidence that Mike Wallace made a homophobic tweet. I came to the...
Why do people insist on doing the bigot = wrong = illegal slippery slope dance?
I think my father told me that when your opponent starts arguing against coming to logical conclusions in an argument, then that is when you've...
People are coming to logical conclusions about Wallace's beliefs, based on an opinion he gave that is consistent with the opinions of homophobic...
Your inability to see anything outside a very narrow viewpoint is more insulting (to our collective intelligence) than what Wallace tweeted and...
I think his tweet was homophobic and ignorant on many levels, but I won't cheer his on field achievements any less TBH.
You read the race argument to make it more offensive by concluding it was about superiority/inferiority. But then you read the Wallace sexuality...
Not even close to a strawman argument Padre. Nice try though.
Wallace has deleted the tweets, which suggests someone wiser than he is realized it was more than just a man's opinion. For those completely...
I am at the draft tonight. They announced the Bess trade as a 4th round swap, plus a 5th from Cleveland. Has anyone found confirmation?
I wasn't ignoring it, it is a factor, as is Albert's proven NFL ability, and his age and whether Jonathan Martin could develop into a stud LT by...

A visionary he was that Jimmy. Seeing as how little the audible is used anymore.

The truth is you are playing with fire by dumping known talent and replacing it with unknown talent. I'd like to be optimistic and say it is a...
I loved Kirby and Marino did too. JJ traded him away for a 5th to SF, where he became a very good kickoff returner. Byars was cut in the middle...
I wholeheartedly agree with this point. My concern is Dolphins past repeating itself. It is dangerous to dismiss known talent and limit your...

Good points, though I think you make the mistake of assuming that Matthews, Hilton, Jones, and Graham, were on the top of the BPA list at the...
Good points. I'd tend to agree. Some drafts have no obvious blue chippers, like in 2005 when Alex Smith, Ronnie Brown, Braylon Edwards, Cadillac...
I suggested in my first post that the GMs don't know everything, which makes their selections of BPA suspect. However I still don't think you...

I see your point Fin D, but there is still enough pressure on getting a top 15 pick right that I don't think we'll see the dramatic shift you...
Yes, that is true. And I may agree 100% with you if you are talking free agency. However, what I argue is that since you have no way of knowing...

Three pages ago he could have done either. He didn't until I called him out.

Dolphins played the Pats twice. We're not as close as the first game seemed, and not as far away as 28-0 seems. However, I'd still judge the 2012...
The first thing you should be sure of is whether one game determines the success of an entire season.
No.
A few more optimistic points: -The 2012 Dolphins went 7-9 despite being the league's 2nd youngest team. -The 2012 Dolphins went 7-9 despite...

Obviously. Development is improving, leaning on strengths gives Tannehill the confidence to keep working on weaknesses, yes. It is not an...
How is that? Physical development would be off the field, in the weight room. Not on game day.
Sherman calls the plays on game day. Sherman knows Tannehill, and his shortcomings, better than Ireland or Philbin. That is why I focus on...

I never said that. But I am absolutely right.
Players are paid to play, not to enjoy. Got it. If I make an *** of myself at home, and I didn't pay, am I doing it wrong?
Nope, sorry. If you enjoyed it, you agreed. Too late. I win! :cool:

Fair. Just explain how it is rational that fans get to boo and cheer any and all plays, to whatever degree they wish. But that same fan holds...
No, there isn't. The difference is an irrational and subjective line in the sand.

Do they? If the team was 3-1 in preseason, and Hard Knocks covered the same stuff, wouldn't the public confidence be up?
I half forgot that was Samuda. Very boring, heavily edited interaction. I tuned out. But you're right.
Remind me, what was the response? I personally thought Philbin came across much better in this episode overall.
Joe has watched the show. Or at least listened to those who have.

I completely agree. What makes me worry, if at all, is that Philbin at his age didn't know how to "fake it" until rapport develops.
Rex Ryan brought two teams with Mark Sanchez as QB to the AFC championship in his first two years. How you can call him "not an effective coach"...

Apparently longer than 1 full game of play, which is all the preseason is. They value his experience and practice reps more than preseason game time.
