They were becoming a 'poor man's Marks Brothers' and they were something that could flip the field in a heartbeat and where anywhere on the field...
This isn't like Barry Sanders & the Lions. He's basically throwing himself under the bus as far as his physical ability, or lack thereof, to play...
I finally just saw the preview of this. When reading about it, I imagined Gore making this incredible RAC to get the first. The I saw it and I...
OK, maybe a little harsh, but, still. As bad we draft and evaluate talent at LB and, honestly, most positions, I truly believe that teams are...
Management is wrong 99% of the time. Greedy suits. NFL players get the worst deal in pro sports.
Ryan Tannehill was playing the best football of his career before he got hurt, and I don't think he got any dumber or less experienced in the last...
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
DeShaun Watson! F me running!
Worse draft pick. Grammar fart.
It wrecked his career and he was never the same after. Good thing the Patriots drafted his heir apparent the very next offseason OR NOT!!...
Yeah, I figured One of those 2. I'm asking, 'which is the best one?'.
Little help?
I'm looking to stream some Miami sports radio to get some Dolphins' and Dolphins' draft coverage. What station do you think I should stream?
"This Sundays drinking game. Take a drink everytime they don't call Wake getting held." Are you trying to kill people?
Kenny Stills being wasted is the unspoken big story here. That's our 'burner' and he might as well just be jerkin' it out there for all the good...
I always thought he was a plus-athlete who just didn't 'get' being a lineback that well but would grow into it. Never really seemed to happen,...
Or, on the flipside, maybe our DL can put so much pressure on fast enough that they can protect Rey's liability in pass-coverage. We're honestly...
Well we already know we're gonna be 0-2 vs the Pats next year, so we have to win 10 out of our remaining 14 games. Having this much of a...
All reports out of camp so far, and on display in the games, again, has been an offense completely sabotaged by poor offensive line. OK, so, you...
"We needed one quality guard from free agency. We didn't get any" Bingo. Case In Point. We failed to prioritize the position, even though it...
Their games when the O-line struggles are just completely unwatchable and the team's effort is just futile when the offensive line is failing....
Did we really prioritize and do our full due dilligence in FA this offseason? Maybe you should overspend a little when the position has been the...
Seriously. You can have all the QB or LB problems and solutions you want but none of it means a @#$% until they fix their offensive line with...
Fales, you gotta go, son! :chuckle:
Watching the Drew Morgan highlights and thinking "how about that Arkansas QB?' Holy Crap, what a slow 40 time, though. Yikes! Short and slow is...
"IMO, no position would be upgraded more than drafting Lamp" Extremely succinct manner of saying what I've been trying to say.
Alongside 'BPA', there's the question of 'who improves our football team the most'. Another way to look at it is, 'will the drafted player be an...
Of the group of Landry, Stills and Parker, I feel Landry has the skill set that's most replaceable. I know we love his 'spirit', but I don't like...
Let's trade Parker on the eve of him actually being a player worth drafting #9 overall. NOT!!
RC: Sparked a big one when we drafted Tunsil! 'Cheers!'
Let's be honest, We can't afford to only get 1 on 3rd & 2, or get 2 on 3rd & 3. We've had Way too many drives short-circuit because of the...
"Just because Lamp is the first or second rated guard doesn't make him a better prospect than the 3rd or 4th rated DE." I know, but I think we're...
"we can't continue to put so much resources on the Oline, especially on a position that is mainly an after the 1st round position." Offensive...
ESPN's mock draft last night had Lamp going before Miami picked, anyway, which made me want Lamp more. I think we'd be lucky to get Lamp, as he's...
We're already going to be having 2-TE sets with Fasano and Julius Thomas. It should create a lot of deception and uncertainty for the defense....
He's one of the best athletes on the Dolphins. I think he's gonna be a really good player for us.
My hope is that Bushrod, a guy who had the athleticism to be a great LT for a period of time in his career, has now played enough guard to really...
Of all the expensive FA guards that were signed, how many of them have cloudy injury history, too? A great player still sucks if he's hurt and not...
The positives are: #1) letting him walk would've been dumb considering how much value/cost we're getting out of him. #2) another year in the same...
"And on a side note...it's way too early to call the Carroo trade a bust. If he breaks out this year...and he could...it would be a fair trade."...
One area in which I stand corrected is that I forgot to really take in the financial obligations that Detroit is taking on with T.J. Lang, and...
Good point. I will do a good deed for someone.

"That McCain grimmace never gets old. LOL" Neither did the face I made all last year watching McCain trying to cover anyone. Actually, it did get...
No, at this point, I don't see Larsen as a legit starting guard. He was 'depth' for the Bears and wound up having to start but people in Chicago...
Urbik was getting ABUSED the last few games last year. That guy Flowers for NE made him his 'rhymes with itch'. If we don't get a legit starting...
You think maybe he was just brought in to get leverage for negotiation with Andre Branch?
I hear ya. Pretty big overreaction on my part. Larsen couldn't have been that bad. He played 9 games and the Bears got a running back into the Pro...
I just talked to a producer for the sports radio station in Chicago; 670 The Score, and he said he thought Larsen was terrible. I don't remember...
I didn't watch many Bear games at all last year, even though I live in the city. I'd either watch RedZone or actually go find the Dolphin game...
I just talked to a guy with the sports radio station, 670TheScore in Chicago and asked him about the guard, Larsen. NOT GOOD :blushing:
I would take a 2nd and a 4th this year and a 4th next year for Landry. Honestly, making Tannehill have to be more creative and actually find an...
I'd love to have a lot more run support from the DE so this guy seems like a good fit. If Jordan Phillips doesn't take a step forward, we're in...
If Julius Thomas busts out, we are screwed..... IF.
What about Sims?
Kenny Stills had like one bad play all year that I can think of. He might have had more, but none that I can remember. He had LOTS of good plays....
Let it be known that I was WAY ahead on this one. Doesn't mean I was right, just ahead:...
"We need two DEs, new LB unit, two guards and a corner and safety. Thats just starters. Our depth is bad too. i dont see us not spending" Unless...
^^^^ Because you may be right and I somewhat feel like that, too, only in that I felt we had too many holes to adequately fill in one offseason...
"Miami must show prudence with spending" That's all well and good, but then are you saying that 2018 is more of the 'go for it' season?
I think Parker was doing a LOT at the end of last season. He pretty much won us that game against the Rams at a time when we needed every game...
"You've got to get the WR1, 2 or 3 designation out of your head in this Adam Gase offense IMO. It doesn't work that way. It's about the skillsets...
Half the money, but probably more than half the stats. If someone's going to be a WR3 they should be paid like one. Devante is ready to be a WR1,...
"If I'm the niners I'm potentially waffling on Shanny Jr, that was a disgrace in playcalling. After that tremendous Julio catch all they needed to...
I'm not saying to not defer as a regular course of habit, what I'm saying is to take stock of reality and look at your specific situation. The...
Dak Prescott played better in that playoff game than he had played for weeks. After the first 5, 10, 15 minutes it because obvious there was no...
"The way it reads you would think Miami was coming off a 3-13 year. Did I dream that 10-6 season and playoff game?" Maybe because we played like...
Regarding the Jags: Marquise Lee really jumped off the screen when I watched his college tape. What about letting Stills walk if we can get Lee?
What I'm curious about is this: which teams do you think have already conceded the 2017 season, terms of being smart with the cap and building...
Week 17 against New England really pissed me off. That one stung, and then for it to happen against the Steelers a week later really makes me...
How many times late in the year did our offense get their first possession already trailing in the game? I get worried about coaching staffs that...
O-Line is definitely a position where we need guys ready to come in and excel. We can't afford any 'redshirt years' out of a high-round pick in...
Now is NOT the time to be losing home games. Ross is a greedy bastard. Do you, as a Dolphins fan, care enough about the city getting a SB as...
It's amazing more teams can't learn from New England. When other teams try to have that much movement and misdirection, they just wind up...
I dunno, what Hitman8 said is pretty heavy: How does Dolphins brass look at a mountain of failure and make so many excuses as to actually promote...
Maybe he's actually better than Joseph right now. Maybe. (The **** if I know, lol)
I'm not sure why you cut him before you have a chance to really evaluate his ability at full strength. Cutting him without knowing this just seems...
Watch that game vs New England again, from just a hard look at Xs and Os. Look at the plays and sequence that New England ran vs what we ran....
Gase's personality trait positives and cool-guy motivation will fail when players figure out that they're playing on one of the dumbest 'Xs and...
Belichick already knows Miami's 2017 defense better than we will.
Barring injury to Brady, pencil in another 2 Ls next year against New England. Belichick will just 5x outsmart another rookie DC. Experience =...
The problem with our back 7 being so bad, is that running backs were going by our front 4 like they weren't even there, so either the scheme was...
Ohio Fanatic: I love that picture of Suh and Marino talking/chuckling. I bet Marino said something like "I'm glad I never had to go against you"...
If Miami beat the Steelers this weekend, it would be the clearest path to the SB for New England. The Steelers could potentially beat New England,...
Miami is still 2 starters away from having a legit offensive line, capable of running on downs when you have to be able to run the ball. Pouncey...
Steen lost his job to Urbick, so, that's what Miami thinks of Steen.
The fact that they played Ajayi, who has to be battling an ouchy shoulder (from what we saw at the end of the game vs Buffalo) indicates that...
If RT vs Not-RT could make enough difference to win the game, I'd be more up for the idea of letting RT try it out. But, with our holes on defense...
If Maxwell is going to 'tape it up and go play', he probably has to save it for the game. Doing that for practice could totally exhaust his...
Miami surpassed my expectations at least 6 times this year, and they will have to make it a 7th for this game to even be entertaining, much less...
You guys are talking about Steen, who already lost his job to Urbick, who looked like a ***** vs that guy from New England. He allowed more...
Nothing about Tannehill playing is going to help our awful linebackers and mediocre, or worse, play of our center and right guard. Not only that,...
That Laing guy didn't pan out and he was the greatest Canadian thing since maple syrup. Wake was our 'needle in the haystack'. Haystack is just...
Also, Greg Cote is out of his damn mind and it's 100% insulting to suggest that if Miami loses to Pittsburgh that 'effort' would be any kind of...
This is 180 degrees from being a Griese/Morrall situation. Capisce?
My point was, do you want to see Tannehill risk his 2017 season fighting for the team we saw play yesterday?
I do mea culpas. So, expect one if Miami wins. I'm not too proud to admit if I'm wrong.
When they showed the playoff schedule during the Dolphin game, the first thing that came into my mind was : "Ooh, Pittsburgh vs New England; that...
Send Tannehill home. After seeing what we saw yesterday, it's painfully clear that whatever gap in ability Tannehill has over Matt Moore, it's not...
No, the truth about just how good of a team we are, how bad our defense plays and how predictable our offensive play-calling is.
and, yeah, I'm probably giving Jordan Phillips too much credit. Sometimes he looks good but he can't be that good, overall, if he's just getting...
I don't understand why the middle of the field was swiss cheese. The Patriots, at least from what I saw in the first half, we're carving us up...
Well, we finished 3 games better than I thought we would. However, we got shown the truth yesterday and I think 'happy to be here' is about a...
"Tyrod Taylor is an extremely limited QB - he can't read a defence to save his life, has no idea how to lead a WR or throw him open - although he...
My bad: LITP gave some pretty good reasons ^^^^.
Asking this question from a strictly objective standpoint: Did Rex deserve to get fired? What factors can you name that are indictments of his...
We're so beat-up right now. Both our starting safeties from earlier in the year are out now. I don't know if Jones played vs the Steelers but even...
If we hit Brady on every play I would be happy, even if it ultimately has no bearing on this 2016 season for us. I'd love to see the Patriots go...
I just watched the Steelers Ravens game. I don't see a way, and I hate to say that. If Ben is healthy and L'Veon is running like this..... We...
Hopefully Miami can be the Bane of their existence. [MEDIA] Totally just kidding, BTW. I'm not ruling out the possibility of the Dolphins winning...
As of mid-September, it was really hurting that we weren't able to get CJ Anderson. We know what happened since. You know it's a special season...
I think we have to rest Ajayi and other guys that are hurt enough to where their injury will make them less than 100% for the playoff game. Play...
After the fact, I felt a little bad for Dan Carpenter. I think he struck those 2 kicks he missed as well as he wanted to, only to see both go...
I don't think the DC of the 31st-ranked run defense in the NFL is gonna get offered a HC job.
"Or when on a 4th and goal on the 7 Joseph decides to get cute with the game on the line and have paysinger drop into coverage from the los...
Our second round pick was a corner who will be our best CB by the middle of next season, so you can't say we took 'nothing until the 5th round'....
The irony, to me, is that our defense seemed to be suffering much more from bad scheme than the affect of bad talent. But, give Buffalo a lot of...
That Darth Vader facepalm picture is freakin' hilarious and appropriate. Tannehill was playing the best ball of his career and was VERY...
I also know that as soon as you say "we have to play mistake-free, yadda yadda" we start turning it over and making dumb mistakes. You almost...
I have zero doubt that the Dolphins were aided by bad weather against the Cardinals. Once the weather cleared they were scoring at will against...
Even though it's not the ACL, let me just share my experience with a knee injury. After slipping during a basketball scrimmage, my left knee cap...
Has there been a report on which 'Grade' of sprain it is? Is it Grade 2? Grade 2 sprain, from what I've read, takes a fair bit of healing and...
"I thought ACLs did not self heal, therefore he will require surgery at some point, either now or when he comes back and tears the thing...
We've got Albert and Tunsil out there but I don't think either one of them is much better than their back-ups because of the injuries that the're...
I remember it being reported that Ryan Tannehill was playing better football, picking up Mike Sherman's offense (gee, I wonder why Sherman was...
Is there a QB in this draft that you know would be better, from day 1, than Doughty, who's had a full year on the practice squad already?
I think Moore might have been on the same Carolina Panther teams as Chris Weinke, and, if so, I'd love to hear Weinke's thoughts' on Matt Moore.
I can think of very few games where Matt Moore was the reason they lost. I remember him going all the way back to his Carolina Panther days and I...
I think it relates to Williams' flexibility and agility in the passing game. Ajayi has gotten better at catching but Williams can adjust to passes...
OMG, I am so embarrassed right now! My bad. Damn, Rex will probably either be fired by week 16 or not be fired until after the season. MY. BAD....
I'm glad to be eating **** on this one. We can beat the Bills. Let's go Miami!!
I'm not sure if this is motivating at all but I think it's the truth. If they fire Rex I think it should lead to at least 1 rebuilding year...
I guess I feel like an Oakland win would've made things more interesting. An Oakland win would've put that 2nd WC position into play. I guess...
The Titans are better than the Dolphins. I know we were short a couple O-linemen against them but they still freakin' destroyed us. They're more...
I have to question Oakland's coaching last night. KC sat in a 'dime' defense the whole game and Oakland just refused to keep running the ball....
Aren't the 3 AFC South teams in Wild-Card position, somewhat, if they don't win the division? The Titans, Colts, and Houston are all right there...
I'm not sure what's more 'interesting' about it. A loss by KC would've made things interesting. What happened is that one of the Wildcard slots is...
The Bills have only one tough game left: Hosting Pittsburgh. Pitt doesn't play well on the road. I think the Bills can and will win that game....
The one thing I remembered about those 2 ending games of 2013 is this: Buffalo just destroyed Miami's offensive line in that game. Like, it wasn't...
"Ryan Tannehill has a losing record as a starting QB, here. Pointing to individual performances sort of highlights the fact that, as a whole, he...
Electric Boogaloo: You hit on the head a lot of what I would say about Jenkins, though I didn't know or think that he was 'intelligent' from a...
Oh, but then there's Baltimore, themselves: and they have got a killer schedule. They could Easily lose of those games, if not 3, so I think...
Pittsburgh has 2 challenging games left: @ Buffalo, whose defense just got shredded by Oakland, and a home game vs Baltimore. I don't see...
Upon the 6th loss, the season is over, and additional losses just get us a better draft pick. After last night, my initial hunch does seem way...
I think, in the NFL of 2016, a QB has to have the ability to make the final determination on what play is run. If a D is showing something that...
How much of Gase's play calling relies on Tannehill making a read pre-snap? Maybe Tannehill comes to every play with 2-3 options and it's up to...
After barely beating the 49'ers, I was still very 'wait and see' about our future. It's still, unfortunately, in doubt about what we're going to...
I change my mind, somewhat, on Tannehill. 2 of those interceptions were not really bad throws, but our guys did not make the play on those passes...
Seeing Tannehill return to doing what he did yesterday has really sapped any hope I had for this season. As flawed as the Miami Dolphins are on...
Oops. You're right, mcDuffie81. I'm pretty sure I could find other examples of McCain missing tackles, though, because I see it in my mind's eye....
The new 'aqua' looks too much like the Florida Marlins color, or too close to the Carolina Panthers color. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure my...
It is frustrating that every time we play Baltimore we're somehow shorthanded. I'd have love to have played them when we had the 'A-train' in full...
I like how Miami really started using misdirection this week. I had been calling for it even when Ajayi was running well. We'd run the stretch...
I think the 'Sunk Cost' fallacy fits both sides of this argument and could be a distraction from both directions as well. On the positive end:...
To flesh out my point: Xavien Howard earned a starting job after missing part of training camp and having very little time to learn stuff. He...
Just saying that I don't think McCain is a good enough athlete to play in the NFL.
"Now his game against....SD or the one before? Yeah, he was totally hot garbage." Yeah. I also really remember him getting completely punked by...
He doesn't track the ball well in the air. He does on short and intermediate routes, but those plays where the ball is way up there he doesn't put...
I think the 'eye test' with Tannehill is what matters. When you watch him, you're either seeing a decisive, smart accurate thrower or you're not...
Marquis Grey is more like a modern fullback to me. He's not tall enough to be a great redzone threat, IMO.
The only instincts that guy has are bad instincts. Just absolutely NO reason that 4th and 11 SF completed on that last drive should've happened....
He missed a block or 2 but I still think he's an improving player with enough youth and health to ascend to being a great all-purpose TE. I...
Thanks, OP. Great article. Tannehill has guts and he can throw but his fatal flaw doesn't seem fixable, and that is pocket-awareness and an...
Tannehill still lacks pocket presence and pocket-awareness, as well as decisive action He flat-out got himself sacked at least once and should've...
Tannehill was playing like a total *****, too, until the end of the game. That interception was horrible, a couple of his sacks were like "dude,...
Woah, I didn't realize how solidly built Howard is. I hope he can be a stud for 10 years.
I don't want him losing any speed or quickness. While he has improved, he's still not the quickest of WRs. He needs all of it that he can retain.
As far as Devante being physical: he might not be that big yet (strong), but his highlight reel is almost exclusively composed of him fighting for...
I joked at the end that the only ball Parker didn't catch all day (from what I saw) was Goff's Hail Mary at the end. I'm surprised that Parker...
Any updates on Tunsil? Sam Young must've played his butt off. I never saw him get beat and the O-line shined the most when it mattered most.
He'd be like a surprise attack on Cleveland. Nobody really has film on him with the Dolphins defense. Teams are gonna look to run on him, but if...
Oh, the ironing.
Jonas Gray is my choice here. He's really failed to impress me this preseason. Gillislee hasn't either but he's a kid and I do agree he'd do OK on...
Taylor has been back and has been impressive, and I'm pretty sure that is another reason why Marshall got released. Taylor could start his rookie...
than finheaven, though it sure looks strangely familiar. I look forward to being able to have some fun on this board vs the NoFunLeague attitude...
