Separate names with a comma.
He has the potential to be everything you say. He has not proven it. I am patient with rookie receivers.
They still control their destiny, so anything is possible.m I just want to see them win two in a row.
I just want to see if we can win two in a row. That would be a big step forward.
It is way too early to have this discussion, but why not. The head coach needs to have a vision for the team. He needs to understand how they...
No, they are not a dominant team. They do have a good defense with a great coordinator, so hats off to the team. The other things the Titans had...
Jones has been flying around all season. I will be happy if I see more player hustling to the play. Playing on the edge. That is what I ant to see.
The scheme is a 4-3 defense. Do you want them to adopt a 3-4 during the season? Wait and see if there are changes in how they play.
Agreed! I am not going to forget the past games, but I am going to treat this as game number one for the players to ensure I judge who steps up...
I see him making good stops frequently. He has not disappeared. The defense is not consistently playing as a team.
He cost us wins by making bad decisions, by not grow players, by not demanding more from his staff, by not fixing problems, and by creating an...
I have no expectations, but I am very curious to see how the team performs.
I agree with you, but I believe you are grouping FA acquisitions that should not be grouped. We all know there are certain positions that are...
Well said. There is a chance now.
Belichick made a lot of mistakes in Cleveland. It was more than just the QB. Give him credit for improving his performance. Having both is the...
Maybe. I thought the statement about the Chargers game happening because Philbin was away as a bunch of BS. The thing I remember about that...
I really do not know what we have with either. I keep hearing the same thing said by different people in different ways: play relaxed, not tight,...
Bad leaders can significantly degrade performance. Good leaders can enhance performance. We have no idea of their ceiling. I will not predict...
At this point, I only care about the next game. As for scheme being the only change, I am not sure. That comment about getting the offensive...
Great question!
It sounds like an astute political move by Campbell. I saw some tweets that allude to Rizzi taking ownership of some of the organizational duties...
Zero chance is absolute certainty. I do not care how much history you have on a situation. Zero chance does not exist. I will accept you...
It is plausible that Saunders and Lazor can work together to improve the offense. Saunders plays the mentor role that Campbell does not have the...
My view is that Lazor has potential that was stagnated by Philbin. Lazor has lacked a mentor to help fix the I experienced mistakes. I am...
The best aspect of each starter on the defensive line is quickness and hustle. Coyle actually has them reading and reacting on at least 40...
You have a good chance of being correct. I do believe that the offensive line and the defensive line have not been prepared for games. I see a...
My question to you is what you see within the tape. Do you see hesitation? Do you see technique issues? Do you see scheme issues? Remember...
@KeyFin. I thought it was the correct move to Fire Philbin and hire CampBell. You have given me some confidence that CampBell's approach has a...
First, the missed tackle cannot happen. He is not free of blame, but he is way down the list. You clearly did not watch the video you...
It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. I believe he will tell Coyle he wants an aggressive defense that does not yield one inch...
ROFL. Ya think!
Great post. The real missing piece on offense is a lineman that can motivate the others. I was hoping Pouncey would pickup that gauntlet. It...
Bad coaching if they are letting him play hurt when he plays so poorly.
Suh is a significant positive asset for this team. There are other problems with the defense.
Both of them have been consistently bad at setting the edges, and they have gotten worse this year. They have killed us for three straight year,...
You prefer multiple above average players to one great player. It is difficult to argue with that perspective, but I prefer the one great player...
What I would like to see is Suh to encourage the defensive line to step up their level of play. I would like to see Pouncey stoke the fire of the...
I would look at the game film and take notes on the ten things that infuriate me the most. I would bring in Lazor, and set the following...
I am all in with Tbaum/Hickster combo.
I hope not. Let him heal, rehab, and get stronger. Do not think of a return before week 6.
Ding, ding. Ding. At least one other person realizes that Suh is doing his job. Grimes and Jones performed well. ....... (Silence) ...........
No, it does not look piss poor. The offense moves the ball. They score points. They need to do better.
Stop with the queasy coach line. It is ludicrous.
I agree that it is ludicrous that fans believe they know the pulse of the team, but Philbin keeps mentioning quick starts. He is setting the...
Our DEs need to step up and set the edge for our rush defense to succeed.
Both of our games were on the road, and you cannot predict how this team will play at home. It is possible the team comes out flat, but we should...
You are absolutely correct about our DEs being marginal at setting the edge. I actually believe you are understating the case.
As inconsistent as opinions are on this board, I am happy we do not get a vote. I do not believe that Philbin will grow into a goof head coach....
I want to see how they play at home. I am disappointed like everyone, but it is still to early to project how this team will play during the meat...
Yes, he will make an impact. It is a good idea to let his foot heal more with limited playing time. Be patient.
For the last game, the start was definitely slow for the defense and the offense.
Do you have any source articles or data to backup your conclusion? I do not dispute your statement, but I cannot agree without some supporting...
We did not have the lead in the first quarter of the first four games of last year. We deferred on three of those games. We went 2-2 during the...
Thankfully, we do not have a deep threat that is incapable of catching the ball with his hands or incapable making a play on the ball. All of our...
The team is complementary on paper. We will see if they deliver.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.
I am waiting to see how we do in the first four games, but this is the first team in more than 20 years that has a legitimate chance to be top 5...
We have not proved anything. Why should they take us seriously. I think we are going to crush them, but their attitude is reasonable.
Nice post!
It is important to note that both the QB and the center have to be efficient for the offense to push the pace. Clearly, the QB is the most...
First, I agree that having some background material to defend his position would improve the validity of his statement. Further, you present a...
Sitting Tannehill because you do not trust your lineman would be a profound mistake. Think about the affect on the team's state of mind....
I am not sure I agree, but it does not matter. We did draft Phillips.
PFF stats are interesting, but the system is flawed. I agree with Walker on all of his points except he is mistaken about Tannehill not elevating...
I agree that dropped passes are a data point. I agree that every QB has to deal with them. I prefer to determine if the receivers catch the...
For me statistics are just data points. I stipulate some performances were below the statistical average, but he was fighting an uphill battle...
He actually carried us last year, but many of you are understating our defensive problems last year.
RT was better than an average QB last year. He was significantly better than more last year. I believe you are undervaluing his performance.
We would have been lucky to win five games with Moore as the starter. The defense had real problems last year.
I probably should have said top tier QB (3-6 players). I am doubtful that he achieves that level of distinction, but it is possible.
In the past, I thought that Wallace received too much of the blame. I beginning to agree with you.
One problem is that elite QB is a very special designation to me. Since you use the term with RT, it is clearly not special to you. Rogers and...
I did not believe our front office was smart enough to sign Suh, but they proved me wrong. He is a one of a kind talent. It will be fun to watch...
I do not expect the front office to sign Mathis. He does not fit into the approach the Dolphins have for building their team. For his age, his...
Grimes, Brent [48] Suh, Ndamukong [64]++ Tannehill, Ryan [238] Wake, Cameron [135]--
My only take away from all the chatter about the OL is that McClendon and Douglass are making the most out of their opportunities. During this...
None of us know if Turner will win the job. It is expected, but not assured. The front office is betting on developing players on the OL. I...
I would be very, very surprised if the FO changed their get younger policy for Mathis. They might do a very low cost deal, but I cannot imagine...
@DolphinGreg. Thanks for the clips.
This discussion really has nothing to do with how the FO is building the team. Stills is the only WR on the team with speed to play the X...
I definitely agree he is better versus the pass, but he is not a liability as a run blocker. I watched 15 minutes of Giants 2014 film and the...
I love the way Delmas plays, and I am happy we resigned him. While Delmas absence contributed to 38.7 pts per 60, there many reasons for that...
You believe that was obviously .... Rofl. The purpose of communication is clarity.
Name one team that has that level of talent.
I assume you mean he is not better than Brenner and Thomas since it is an established fact that he started for five straight years. Why do you...
I thought he was a ZBS player since Denver drafted him, and I was wary of PFF grades since they never consider if the team is misusing the player.
(Edited) I was looking at the wrong information. He started 16 games for three of his seasons, and they signed him for depth at guard and...
Ross is the only one currently with the authority to fire Philbin. He has committed to keeping him. It is a good trait to keep your word, and I...
He is 27, so I would be interested for a prove it type of veteran deal. I year guaranteed on a three year deal. He averaged 5.3 million on his...
If you are complaining about the 7th round pick, then you have inflated the value of a 7th round pick. The 3rd round pick is valuable, but we get...
I like what has been accomplished to this point. I am curious how they will use the existing cap space.
Absolutely agree withis statement.
Given we are running Lazor's system, I am not sure I agree with you. Adding 3/10ths of a second on average more than offsets the loss. For full...
Yes, he is a good owner.
I hope not. BPA regardless of the state of the roster. Acquire value.
I am confident that Suh will improve the defense significantly. He frequently beats double teams destroying the blocking scheme. He consistently...
Agreed.
That would be a very bad deal. JJ Watt is paid $100 million, and it was too much. There is no way Suh is worth that. $80 million maybe ... $100...
I understand your concern, but I would consider these options: release Starks, resign Odrick $35M (Odrick and Mitchell) OR Release Starks, Sign...
It is just one year, so it is a mistake to judge the pick. He is not a top 10 pick. He is a 1st round pick. He is not a wonderful pick; he is a...
If we fix the offensive line, then there is a chance. There are too many decisions this offseason to predict anything.
All of your statements are subjective and vague. The team lost big games last year, but Tannehill frequently gave the team the lead in the fourth...
Actually, I do not believe Lazor thought Tannehill would survive the season if he called slow developing plays. While it seems to indicate a lack...
Tannehill has consistently been challenged by playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league for three years. There is not another...
It is a bad comparison. Maybe some posters cannot let go of not entering the suck for Luck derby. The more important question is what is Ryan's...
I agree he did a fantastic job laying out the options. Further, I agree that the two year approach is a careful and good approach. I prefer the...
You mistook my comment is an above average NFL QB, and that is handicapped because of how bad our line. However, I assure you there are 30-40...
Here is the point he is making. If you ranked players as contributing to losses or problems with #1 being the worst player, Tannehill is in the...
He should. Our fan base is not known for patience or wisdom.
There many on this board who believe Tannehill is a big part of the problem. I think they are not correct, but there are plenty of naysayers!
Three more years is the best case scenario for Brady and Rivers based upon wear and tear. You are probably correct with Flacco and Big Ben....
It is a team game. Go back and watch one of those games. Tell me who the best performing player on the offense is for each of those games. I am...
If all you are seeing is stats trending upward and lack of points in important games, then you are ignoring an incredible amount of the skills and...
He is going to sign a 5 to 7 year deal, and I would ecstatic if it is for 15 mil per year. He is your QB for a long time. Even if I agreed with...
Making a responsible decision is a very good way to describe this problem. If we trade him and end up with a limited WR core as you describe, the...
The minimum is a high quality vet OG, an upgrade at ILB, and a 2nd round guard prospect. We need more, but that gives us a chance. Especially,...
Wow! That is an excellent point. I would have been posting the coaches for the remainder of the game.
That sounds reasonable, but it goes against everything learned from my coaches. There is one and only one unforgivable sin as a defensive end....
Ok, fine. He says he wants to see Tannehill perform with poor OL play, but I really do not believe either of you realize how bad it was. Name...
Neither Big Ben nor Romo have ever had to contend with a line that performs this poorly. It is somewhat better than last year's line, but the...
A better defensive coordinator would get more out of the players, but the players have many, many flaws. All of the defensive ends are not...
When I read the article, it is clear that Wallace thinks he was not treated fairly. Gibson might not understand it, but I do not see any evidence...
While some of your criticism might have some validity, the moment you state he does not make plays i discount your post as just frustration...
Do not cut Wallace! Hartline can be cut.
I agree that a consistent system for Tannehill was a big part of the decision, but I believe a consistent quality offensive system is very...
The main problem I see is lack of discipline executing assignments. Both Vernon and Wake fail to set the edge when they over commit to the inside...
I did not state a conclusion. I simply stated my position.
No one on this board is satisfied with mediocrity. This is a ludicrous statement repeated by many on this board. Reasonable people may disagree...
I agree. You did a good job explaining why Lazor leaving is not a concern.
You do realize that almost every professional ever asked states it is difficult for a QB to be effective within a new system during their first...
We are twelfth in offensive scoring with a problem offensive line. That is a big improvement. Tannehill is improving, and it is very important...
Lazor has plenty to learn as a coordinator. He was the QB coach in Philly. He needs at little time to get better as a coordinator. He...
You are criticizing him because he did not know they were eliminated. There is plenty of material to quote when criticizing him, but that seems...
No, he listened to advice from some people. He decided that another years was the best option for 2015. He definitely cares. You may disagree...
Lazor as a head coach is a bad idea. He needs to grow as a coordinator. He is nowhere near being head coach material.
He is not a bad head coach. He certainly is not a good or great head coach, but "bad head coach" is an exaggeration.
We will agree to disagree.
It will be good to see Lazor develop as a an OC. It will be good to see if Hickey and Philbin can have an even better offseason.
I a very happy that Philbin will be back. I wanted to see Tannehill and Lazor develop together for another year. I wanted Hickey to have another...
Nothing is worse than winning less than 4 games! I prefer a competitive team every year.
I continue to be surprised by comments like yours. Each play has a number of routes. There is a progression, but very few plays are designed to...
I think Hickey should be given the authority to decide whether we keep Philbin or hire a new coach.
I never said he was not the problem. I said building around him is the best chance for success over the next four years.
Thanks for putting together the list. There are a couple of devil's advocate questions. Can you really compare coaching records before the...
The best chance of developing a winning football team is to give him a contract extension and build the team around him. Anyone without an agenda...
He put together a functional roster from one with an incredible amount of problems. I do not agree with you opinion.
If Ross keeps Hickey, then it should be his decision. If Ross wants to hire a coach around Hickey, then I doubt a good coach wants the job unless...
He does need to get better. Your statement that replacing him is not an issue is completely wrong. We can do better, but I do not see a single...
None of the threads or comments about Tannehill not being special matter. The important questions is which of the following two choices give the...
The only reason I care about college is I give him an extra year on the scale because of lack of experience.
Given the challenges Philbin has faced, I do not believe you are taking a realistic look at the three years.
It is always a tough win on their home field. We have a chance, but we need a very good effort out of this team.
As I learn more about his offense, I do not believe your statement is valid. Most of these plays have multiple options. If you want to criticize...
I believe he has demonstrated the ability to implement and manage an offensive scheme that is capable of scoring offensive points. He continues...
If this team finishes 9-7, then the team won the games they were suppose to win. I do not see how you fire a coach where the team performed to...
I do not believe that is an accurate statement. I believe what he said in his press conference. I believe that almost every play has a deep...
Why do you think he has lost the players?
The lack of complementary football definitely hurts our defense. It was still a poor effort for the second half.
I would rate a vision for a team coupled with the ability to form that vision as more important than adjustments. I view a solid game plan that...
The difference is that I see unity of vision between Hickey and Philbin. That unity of vision will improve the team, so there is definitely...
Yes, he is better than Sparano.
1. It would be nice to stick with a head coach for 5or 6 years like all consistent and winning organizations do. 2. Ireland refused to pick...
If there was a truly difference maker coach, then I would agree. There is not one available.
Your post is very similar to my first thought after reading the OP comments.
We need to stick with a coach for more than three years. We should be more like the Steelers. I do not see stability be achieved by a new coach...
I agree it is disappointing and a problem. It just seems expected that a QB coach at the NFL level elevated to an OC would favor the pass. It is...
The great start by the defense made me believe his leadership might have an impact. It turned out to be fools gold.
He is a first year OC that makes a lot of mistakes. Does this really surprise you? It does not surprise me. I appreciate the better scheme and...
I am a fan. I never stop being hopeful. I do not throw a fit like a teenager. I am not tired of rooting for my team.
I would not fire them. That would nearly ensure more mediocrity
I was disappointed that Lazor did not realize he needed max protect.
I am curious to see if it has any affect on the defense especially the linebackers.
Me too,
I found this interesting. God job Mr Wake!...
If the offense scores 36 points, then any loss is the fault of the defense. It is true that the offense contributed to the high score by not...
No, he said the offense did not maintain a drive to run out the clock. This is a fact.
The game plan is set, but Lazor can still change the play calling sequence. I am sure there are enough running plays in the game plan to take...
He admitted it was. He was feeling tired at home balancing family life with work. He needed a pick me up. Shrug.
No, Big Paul was declining last year. He has not been doing well in Atlanta.
Tannehill has been very average in the 4th quarter this year: cmp% 59.5, YPA 6.16, TDs 3, ints 3, and sacks 7. These stats validate their...
Me too
Actually, he is 22-22.
The problem is that there are so many factors to consider those first two years. - quality of offensive line - quality of QB coach - quality of...
I agree this is an important aspect of handling players. I am considering how to integrate your feedback.
Given the lively debate about Philbin's decision making when acquiring staff, I am proposing the following modification. Head Coach Grading...
Oops! Post timing issue. Ignore my previous post. I did not know all of this history, and I will accept it since I do not have access to this...
You still have not answered the question. Frankly, I have forgotten about McAdoo. I acknowledge that my initial evaluation did not take into...
Wow! I did not know Bill McAdoo is our OC. Are you willing to give Philbin any credit for hiring Bill Lazor?
I brought up the following head coach rating system in another post. 2socks mentioned it might make a fun topic, so here is my explanation. Tell...
You bring up very good points, but I do not believe it is fair to give him no credit for hiring Bill Lazor. You assume every first time head...
Clearly, I believe the quality of the staff as it grows together makes the ceiling very high.
Sure. My disclaimer is that I developed the grading approach in 10 minutes. I fully accept that it is not a mature grading system. Assembling a...
I believe a reasonable head coaching grading system would breakdown the grade as 50% the staff assembled and retained, 25% quality of the game...
If the owner does not fire Philbin, then we might. Hickey has gained my trust, and I believe another good offseason will improve the roster...
I am sure that Ross would pull the trigger if that happened. My argument is that Harbaugh and the staff he brings will not significantly...
That would be very, very, very foolish unless you know you have a coach of equal quality to Andy Reid or Bill Belick. Only a difference making...
We were giving up 4.2 yds per per play for most of the first half. Do you believe this is a coincidence. The entire game plan was to road grade...
I would rather have more space for the passing game to click than have our front 7 ground down. That is why they used the double tight end set....
There is a reason for that. We were unable to get pressure after being worn down by the power running package.
Me too.
You are calling a first year OC that has our points total up significantly a "knucklehead". Really?
The game was lost in the first half and early in the second half when Coyle and his staff failed to adjust to the double tight end set. That...
Our defensive coaching staff not adjusting to the double tight end set was the main culprit. Our coaching staff allowed the Broncos to tire out...
The defense was not disciplined, did not tackle well. They need to do better, but I truly believe this one is on Coyle. This is the first time...
Do you honestly believe that Walt Aikens, Lowell Rose, or Jimmy Wilson would be able to shutdown the Denver receivers. I thought the defense...
We are not underestimating his impact, but some overstate his impact. For the record, I absolutely love Landry. I love his intensity and his...
The defense would welcome bad weather, and I believe the rush defense for DENVER is not as good as their statistics.
Yes, I do.
Years of frustration with our QBs leave people careful. I am one of them, but I did caution people to wait until game eight with the new offense....
The important point is firing Philbin would significantly slow down the growth of this team. You do not impede an improving team. Our...
do you like the staff? Yes or no. If yes, then we are done with this topic. Head coach gets credit and blame for the staff. Does not matter...
I believe they will, but time will tell.
After three years, - he has a good staff assembled - he seems to have a good relationship with Hickey - he has stuck with his QB - he holds...
Clueless? Really? I will not defend any other comment about Philbin, but clueless is ludicrous.
This is his first year as a NFL OC. Last year he was a QB coach. He has exceeded my expectations by 40k miles. I think the problem is all of...
Bing, bing, bing .... We have a winner!
Now we have a chance.
I would prefer to open with 6 offensive lineman, and try to play some power football. Let's rough up that defensive line. That will help slow...
I disagree
I do not understand the prevailing opinion as well. The coordinators and supporting coaches are the best we have seen in a while. He worked well...
There were two rollout plays. The first one for the touchdown. The second was crushed. The reason the first one worked against the Lions'...
I really do not understand people losing patience this year. It is very clear to me the team is improving. It is clear to me that Coyle has the...
You are surprised that posters react after you make a over the top, insulting statement. Really?
The bottom line is the offense did not execute and make enough plays. Also, Give the Lions their due. That is a 7-2 team. They are winning...
Earl Mitchell was a fantastic evaluation of talent. Not resigning Big Paul was a fantastic evaluation of talent. Fede is a seventh rounder. Why...
Fire him? I believe that is a very foolish thought. This offense is significantly better than last year because of his scheme.
Thanks. It was a great game. Please do not listen to the pathetic, cry baby, excuse making posters on this board.
Three down. One more to go.
In an earlier thread, I predicted a four game sweep. This will be the third game, and I still believe we win this game.
Sure, but neither was available. Mitchell is awesome.
The worst part was the first two series, and there is a good explanation for why Colledge played poorly. He wanted to keep his league leading...
We need is consistency for the offensive line. They were very bad in the first half. They were so bad that play Dallas Thomas improved the line...
They have very good against average to below average teams. You really should not underestimate this team. We should win, but they are not...
We have managed to embarrass the Raiders and the Bears. I really believe Hickey's additions are changing the identity. Mitchell never gives up...
LOL. We are definitely not disciplined about staying on topic. I am adding myself near the top of that list.
First, I agree that Albert deserves three slots on the list. Second, his performance is why I shake my head at the "value FA" argument with...
No, I am not. You are treating it like it is the only criteria that is important. Each decision has multiple factors, and you have to balance...
Great cap management for a team that cannot win a football game means nothing. You keep ignoring simple concepts like you have to have a number...
He is tied for 25th in the league for tackles, so I am not sure about near the top. Further, he does not appear dominant when you watch film. He...
First, his average salary of 12 million is a better measure of the contract. Second, 10 TDs places him in the top ten receivers for a team that...
I am not sure I agree with your statement, but I do believe that Pouncey has some tells. Satele may be a better center from a mechanics of the...
It has nothing to do with other bad contracts. It is a good contract. Given how he is helping our team, we are paying him a reasonable price. I...
The point is that Wallace's contract is not as bad as you make it out to be. A comparison of FA agent contract's illustrates this point. Are...
No, he does not. His play is good, but it is not good enough to be considered.
The top base salaries for this year are Wallace, A. Johnson, V. Jackson, Bowe, Marshall, Garçon, Harvin, and Colston. The Dolphins are far from...
I believe most fans want to win a few playoff games and maybe go to the Super Bowl. I want this to happen. The immediate question is do we have...
This is where we disagree. You have to pay for performance above average. Wallace's performance is double the performance of Ginn. I would...
There is no way Ireland was going to draft Patterson. There was no way that that the Viking would have traded him this year, so this option is...
Ok, I will bite. Name one that was available and brings close to the same schematic impact with similar performance.
@ToddPhin. I completely agree that the easiest way to improve our red zone offense is a legit red zone target.
We overpaid. Get over it! I am very, very, very glad he is on the team this year. Playing well.
Props for all of the posters to this point. I agree with everything you have mentioned, and I am impressed with Wallace's performance this year.
@ToddPhins. You present an impressive argument. I would agree that a different starting receiver on the left probably improves the productivity...
Since this thread has clearly opened up beyond self named detractors, I will throw in my two cents. I believe Thill will continue to improve....
In general, I agree with you. Many analyst mentioned that new offenses hinder QBs for about 8 games. I do believe you have unrealistic this...
After enjoying the game on Sunday and the game versus the Raiders, my interest level and confidence is increasing.
You misunderstood me. I said the 3rd and 9 situation with little or no time off the clock was 100% Tannehill's fault. I stuck to the topic of...
I really do not care. After considering the sequence for a full day, I lay the blame for this 100% on Tannehill. The 1st down call for a quick...
I am not disappointed in this game. The team showed heart and played well. It was an entertaining and competitive game.
The topic is positives. Try to stay on topic.
It would be nice to get 60 good minutes out of this team. My positive. Every single player elevated their game. Even Wheeler.
It is hard to fathom a dominant offensive line, but this just might be the start of one.
Buffalo and the Patriots held us under 100 yards rushing. The Chiefs and the Raiders gave up big chunks of yards. It seems like a matter of the...
Yes, it does. Just in case you are not being sarcastic, spreading the defense makes it very easy to run the football. The defenses numbers...
Most people on this board including me find it hard to believe the Dolphins have turned the corner.
I will not predict, but we have a realistic chance to beat any of those teams.
It is very clear the majority of our receivers are struggling. Dropped passes are one of the areas of struggle. I just cannot defend Tannehill's...
There is zero positive value to getting rid of him during the season.
LOL. Bill Lazor does deserve criticism, but Tannehill deserves more.
ROFL. No!!
Well said.
Have you taken a look at the passing play compilations? I want more, but it is not as bad as many people state.
I respectfully disagree.
That is a very good question. Special teams giving up 13 points is just horrible. The score could have been 16-10 in the fourth quarter.
I agree with you.
I am not ready to call it either way. Have a little patience.
Miller had a very poor performance.
I think it is honesty. The game plan was not creative. The interior of the line miscommunicated. I am not 100% sure, but it looked like there...
In that case, the refs made a big mistake blowing the whistle.
Amen!
Stats frequently lie especially with a QB. I disagree completely about not throwing the ball to a receiver that drops it. A receiver that drops...
I still believe he needs better accuracy, but you make a good point.
I was not impressed with the game plan or Lazor's adjustments. I believe he does deserve a significant amount of blame for this performance. I...
Amen. I am encouraged about Tannehill when I watch this video. I love that I always see him on his toes. Even when he cannot get his feet set...
Given there are 22 new players and three new coaches, I do not understand using past history to judge this team.
Let's fix the biggest problems first. The ones that should be so obvious. Special teams and the offensive line need to play a good game. If...
This game was lost by special teams and the offensive line. I am still positive about this team's potential.
Calling Lazor a lousy coordinator after one bad game plan is ludicrous.
Not me. One great game and one poor game. I am still encouraged by our offense, and Wallace seems to be playing better.
Four drops, some poorly placed balls including the interception, and some good decisions to throw away the ball. The rating was misleading.
Again, I agree that he ran the offense well. He made the correct reads. He went to the correct receivers except for the TD TO Wallace. That...
I agree with you. It is very encouraging that he is on his toes while moving to avoid rushers. The throw to Sims was a nice one. I was too hard...
Our offense versus your defense is an important story in this game. Lazor will find a way to generate alignment challenges for your defense....
I know the Bills will try a delayed blitz from a linebacker through the left side B gap. Hopefully, there is not a repeat of the mistake made...
That is a good question. Lazor's scheme is more friendly to the QB than Sherman's system. The early results are better play speed and better...
It seems every forum thread and article mention that EJ Manuel was very inconsistent. It sounds like Fred Jackson really pulled out this game. I...

Yes, we will know after this week.
Ditto
I completely agree that the overall team made a significant step forward, but I include Tannehill in that statement. His play speed is much...
No, that is too strong of a statement. He had problems with ball location. He made good decisions. He did a good job running the offense. His...
Agreed, the original statement is ridiculous. However, I am happy that we won when Tannehill did not have a great game. That is a nice change....
While speed kills, returners need good instincts. Landry demonstrated those instincts during the preseason.

If he is healthy, he is a very good corner. For a long time, the Patriots offense has facilitated separation and yardage through creative...
Actually, Ross is the special team replacement for Jones. While he is not a good safety, he is better than Jones. Seamster is a CB. We needed a...

I knew there was no way Ihenacho would make to our pick. Skins got him.

Duke Ihenacho might be a good add. He is a hard hitting safety. We seem to like aggressive secondary players.

I expect fewer tackle for loss with Moreno. It will still happen, but I expect the frequency will be less. Reducing TFL is very important for...

No, he is not better. It is true that Lazor's offense is QB friendly. The offensive schema reduces the needs for a string arm. I do believe...
I was thinking 10-6 as well. Our line is better this year. We will score more points. Our defense is better than last year.
