Separate names with a comma.
We need help at RB, and Foster is at the top of a very short list of free agent veterans. It isn't like we have a ton of options. Besides, all we...
Interesting post. I hope you're right. We will know for sure after Thurday night if this team is for real.
He was totally being super serial.
Walt Aikens and Jamar Taylor both dropped INTs that were in their hands, so let's get them in the Almost-Pro Bowl.
I've watched the game a couple of times now and I thought both the offense and defense were very vanilla. I think the idea that the coaches didn't...
Yeah... when a player makes a great play, it's best to concentrate on the other 10 losers who failed miserably. :wink2:
If Jamil Douglas can play in the NFL like he did at ASU, he's going to be a special player for us in a couple of years. I think he'll flash a...
Good thing I have learned to ignore s***storms. :wink2:
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
I always appreciate your optimism, 71. Keep it up. :up: I feel this is going to be a big year for us Phin fans.
Boy, was I wrong. Whoa.
Yeah, they didn't list his 55 losses lol
What CJ Mosely (94) did to the RB coming out of the backfield is funny as s**t.
Good list. The only differences I see is, I'm thinking Stoneburner makes the 53 at TE with Semisch going to the practice squad. Also, I could...
I think some people are taking these decisions a little too seriously. It's a preseason game, fellas. This is when you try different things out to...
Cousins is a better QB than RGIII, IMO. So, I think it makes them a better team and gives the Redskins a better chance against us. Either way,...
I don't know what kind of teammate the guy was, and I am not the biggest Finnegan fan, but I would not be surprised if the Phins consider him an...
I don't think a player getting hurt is ever good news. Unless it's a Jets player.
Keep that big man healthy! We got a lot riding on him.
Some people won't. Philbin could raise the Lombardi over his head and they would still say he sucks. Some people just have massive egos.
Thanks for loosening up, Philbin. Now, tighten back up plz. :lol:
You say at worst a 12-4 record? Hmm... that's pretty bold. I'm optimistic about this team this season, and I think they're capable of 12-4. I also...
This is the mark of a man who is more concerned for his team than himself. Unfortunately, the gesture will be lost on people who are the opposite.
I don't know if I would say THAT... even the best GMs miss on guys. Every pick has its risks.
I'm a UGA fan, so, I'm familiar with him. Lynch had the physical tools, but had a habit of screwing up in key moments in college. Personally, I...
If the ones would have stayed in the whole game, we would have destroyed the Bears. They look close to being ready for the season right now, and...
It's sad when someone has to apologize to some people here before complimenting our head coach. LI... no need to apologize. You aren't the one...
Sign IK Enemkpali now :wink2:
I got Preseason Live last season and loved it. I also was weighing getting Game Pass for $79 or whatever it was, but ultimately opted out. I do...
As a suggestion... tailgating in Nashville isn't quite on the scale as it is in Miami or other major NFL cities. In fact, the game in general is...
My wife and I will be there. My younger brother is coming in to visit. One of my other Dolphin buddies will join us. I can't wait!
If they stay healthy, I think they can be, too.
I think Miller is good but replaceable... Vernon they need to lock down. I love having Suh, but, his contract is going to make for some tough...
We'll climb up that list.
In all fairness, I don't think there was ever a question about Jennings being employed this season. I think we're lucky to have him, and...
I actually laughed out loud.
I guess he wasn't all that serious about turning his career around. I hate seeing talented players just piss it all away.
Nickleback?!?!? I take back every good thing I ever said about Chris McCain. :wink2:
I think Tannehill is the key to the playoffs. Miller is a good RB. Not great, but he's above average. Good skill set for the zone read offense....
I love it how some people can watch videos like that and say, "Yeah, any NFL receiver can make those catches." Landry is a superstar in the...
The two guys I like on film the most are Hull and Hewitt. I still can't figure out why Hull went undrafted. Hewitt is an interesting player. He...
I read somewhere he has knee and back issues and it was a health decision.
I have to say... honestly, this is the most optimistic I've been about this team in a very long time. I am actually excited about this team again....
He IS the Kwisatz Haderach!
I told you guys a year ago Landry would be special.
Agreed. As far as I'm concerned, the season begins when training camp officially opens.
I know this sounds weird, but, I am cautiously very optimistic. If a few things go our way this season, we could really start scoring some serious...
I am an atheist... also an agnostic. I'm agnostic for the same reason you are. I think many agnostics don't wish to identify themselves as...
It's funny how many offensive lines coaches have that 'friendly neighborhood butcher' sorta personality. I like Benton. Seems like a good man.
I say I don't know why the timeout was called, so I'm going to reserve judgement. But, apparently I'm wrong. Interesting.
No, I will not call it that. You want to, that's fine. That's your opinion. I don't agree. I wasn't on the sidelines, so I don't know what the...
Have you ever considered that there was a good reason to call that timeout and you just aren't aware of it? Do you actually believe that someone...
I know next to nothing about Mathis' situation in Philly and why they released him. I know next to nothing about the Phins interest in him outside...
Get. Him.
1. Will the Dolphins have 5 or more Pro Bowlers this season? No. I have 11 players on the roster with a legitimate shot at a pro bowl......
I don't care what the price was. Ask a Lions fan if we stole Suh and see what they say.
I still can't believe Ndamukong Suh is a Miami Dolphin. It won't really sink in until I see him on the field. What. A. Steal. Holy s**t.
The thing that jumps out to me about him is a he's a huge guy who moves exceptionally well for his size. That's what I noticed about Dion Sims...
w00t
RIP, Garo... sad day.
Yes... I know Brady is out for only 4 games. I was talking about the psychological toll something like this can have on an athlete, and how it can...
I think the rookie I'm most excited about (outside of Parker) is Tony Lippett. I have a buddy who is a Michigan State fan and the minute we...
First off, we all know the Patriots are a great team. The type of team that could use this sort of 'setback' as motivation to go out and carve out...
AWESOME idea for a thread, FinD. I love this stuff!
And, I want to add that Miami signing Jennings absolutely means they could walk away from this draft without drafting another WR. I think it's...
Miami offered Jennings a deal during his original visit. It was Jennings that wanted to visit every team that was interested in him, then decide...
FWIW, I like the thanks/fist pump button. I think it should definitely stay. It lets people know their post was appreciated. As much work as some...
Tell your wife thanks and that she did an awesome job. :up:
Is there a hyphen in 'anal-retentive'?
That tweet was just plain dumb... but, it's not any dumber than his everyday drivel. That's why I don't follow him anymore. As far as his beef...
Dorial Green-Beckham. I don't know if he would be a 'nightmare' pick... but, I'll be really disappointed if we pick him.

Should have done this two years ago instead of signing Wallace. Do it.
Pulling the play out 'from time to time', #1, is just plain wrong. They run the the Inside play quite often. #2, it goes against the entire...
The Zone Read isn't a gimmick. I think it's going to establish itself much like the West Coast offense did because it has a sound philosophy...
We run a Zone-Read system. The Inside and Outside Zone read are our two base running plays. We run them the majority of the time.
I'd love the opportunity to see a Melvin Gordon or a Todd Gurley in this system... and then, see what you guys had to say about Miller in...
It's Chip Kelly's Zone-Read system, mostly. "In 2011, LaMichael James ran for a school-record 1,805 yards on just 247 carries and scored 18...
It's likely a chartered boat, so, the guy on the right could be a crew member. Or, just a buddy.
I want no part of Michael Crabtree. He's 50% the player he used to be yet still 100% the d**khead.
I'd rather the Phins see what happens in the draft at WR and then revisit Crabtree after, if necessary. He is not a particularly appealing player,...
They're definitely high on something... :rimshot:
Haha... an insult. Nice. And, not even an accurate insult at that. But, whatever makes you feel better, bro. :wink2:
Yeah, 'cause you're an expert on head coaches and couldn't possibly be wrong about him. :lol: But, hey... if you wanna take a crap on every...
Let's assume Wallace is gone... If Cooper is off the board and Scherff is gone/doesn't thrill them, I could see a trade back... and picking a...
I think we should wait and see if Tannenbaum is doing pressers after practice every day before we anoint him the face of the franchise. It's the...
I voted yes... but, I meant 'yes and no'. I like how his team is handling team promotion. I like how he is generally staying out of football...
Coyle said in December they are going to move him around. Tannenbaum just said their plans are to have Dion to split time between OLB and...
Um... Brent Grimes and Reshad Jones... heard of them? They aren't done with the secondary. The offseason just began.
Buffalo would need to get creative to get Brees... they have no 1st and no 4th-round picks this year.
"According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald..." Hacks gonna hack.
I've been back-and-forth with them, but, I'm pretty patient with Ross and Philbin. I really did not like Ross at first and I'm still skeptical of...
I'm kinda hoping for Mason Foster. He seems like a good fit.
I would give a resounding 'NO'... if he wasn't such a dominant damn player. I honestly don't know how I feel about it. I really want my team to...
I can't support a guy who quits on his team. I don't care what his reasons are. I'm out on Wallace.
Have Ross bribe the NFL, the NCAA, and the Georgia Bulldogs to somehow allow us to go ahead and draft Nick Chubb. He looks like a future NFL...
I would say Ireland was an average scout and a below-average GM who never hit on a QB. Just look at the prior post using Bill Belichick as an...
I can't say I agree with you. He had some good picks, however, he had some REALLY bad 2nd round picks. I want to stress... REALLY bad. Ireland...
1) We need a STUD right guard. One that could slide to right tackle in a pinch. I'd draft high at guard and take a hard look at James Carpenter in...
Rex Ryan coming to MIA as a DC is an extreme long shot... at best.
I am getting so tired of arguing in this forum format. In fact, I'm just getting tired of arguing in general. All I said was we don't have the...
Butthurted gonna butthurt. :lol:
Could be that. Could also be the poll was taken right after us winning an exciting game. It could also be that over the course of the last week's...
Bursting with protein for your mind. Ew.
If the NT is not playing 2-gap, then I don't call it a 3-4... because it isn't a 3-4. Just because a DE stands up, that doesn't make it a 3-4. The...
So, you say a 1-gap 4-3 DT is... 'pretty much the same'... as a 2-gap 3-4 NT? You sure about that?
Shhhhhh... 'Coyle is an idiot' sounds good to them... let the butthurt flow through you...
The only reason Minnesota tied the game was because of a rookie making a rookie mistake. Selective memory much?
This will be very interesting.
Go get 'em, Tiger. :up:
We don't have the personnel to run the 3-4. At all. Please stop. This isn't Madden.
Every time there's a post about switching to a 3-4 defense, a puppy is murdered. Please help stop the murder of puppies. Please stop talking...
It was an issue at WR when he was with LSU. The problem is how he carries the ball when he's running in the open field. It's just more apparent...
That is my one big concern with him, and I thought that when I watched his LSU tape. He needs to secure the ball better, and I hope that's a focus...
Dude, this is the first season in this offense. We lost some key guys to injuries. These guys made mistakes, but they competed, and at times...
So, what's the problem with that? I'm not saying Philbin is or is not a 'mastermind', but what's the issue if he's a team manager that allows his...
On that, we agree 100%.
Even if they end up 8-8, what I saw this season was a team showing signs of being something special. I want to see this group together one more...
You have a very nice way of putting things. It's good to have you here.
See ya.
This is dedicated to all you 'experts'. http://youtu.be/NHipzGL4dwM
Go root for the Jets.
I'll stick with Landry, thanks. :up:
It's pretty obvious that both of them are outstanding NFL rookies. Both of them deserve consideration. Of course, Beckham was supporting his...
This whole thing is just another case of angry fans wanting a pound of flesh. Harbaugh's name just happens to be recognizable.
FANTASTIC post, Greg. Well said, dude.
...
Read what I wrote over and over until you actually understand what I said. I never criticized him for the number of head coaching position he had....
Other than the fact that... well... that he hasn't actually won all the time.
I'm certain there is a reason why the Colts got rid of Shula. Perhaps their owner simply made a huge mistake. Perhaps he and Shula hated each...
I think there is most likely a good reason why a Superbowl team enthusiastically lets go of their head coach.
Pouncey doesn't seem to agree with the experts. He must be an idiot. :lol:
That is an excellent point. I'm not sure what Grimes would have to gain.
So... you were talking out of your butt. :tongue2:
Absolutely. We haven't simply had a few injuries... our injuries have been key ones. Left tackle. Starting RB. Starting TE. 2nd, 3rd and 4th CBs....
Read what I said again: "I'm as upset as anyone that the Phins are very likely going to miss the playoffs again..." You're just mad and you want...
I don't know. I sure hope Tanny gets it figured out. I really like his skill set, and I'm tired of this team having to reset every other season.
This is the kind of stuff that irks me. My guess is, you have absolutely NO CLUE as to what Odrick was yelling about. He could have been yelling...
This concerns me. Finding a franchise QB is harder than finding a good head coach.
For our many 'forum experts', it's standard operating procedure. Opinions are stated as fact. Anyone who disagrees is belittled. Anyone who agrees...
If you're so smart, put a resume together and pass it off to Ross. Coach or GM. Your choice. Show us all how it's done. :lol:
So... you guys just flippantly dismiss what she said? That is a person with a lot more inside info than any of you have. I'm not saying she's...
I posted that in another thread. I'm sure he's seen it now. :wink2:
No, you're reading it correctly. However, you are mistakenly asserting that one stat tells an entire story. It's like denying that a global...
Maybe Rex could get lucky with his 2nd NFL head coaching job and pick a HOF QB with a throw-away draft pick, and then cheat his way to 3 Superbowl...
If Rex would keep Lazor, I'm in.
Comments like this drive me absolutely nuts. You're taking ONE STAT and preaching gospel from it. There is SO MUCH MORE that goes into a team's...
Rex would be an interesting choice. Keeping Lazor would make me happy. RockyRaccoon, who lives in NJ, says Jets fans would absolutely hate it....
I answered no. They won't be in in the playoffs, it looks to me like he's lost the team, and he seems overwhelmed these last few weeks. However,...
The first time I entertained the thought of Rex coaching the Phins, I threw up in my mouth a little. But, with every post you make... you're...
I thought Landry was going to be great from day one. A 'draft guru' I'm acquainted with said he wouldn't be able to get separation from NFL...
Wow... hahaha. Now, the Deion Sanders avatar makes perfect sense.
I should start a thread and explain it. To be honest, it'd be a lot of work, and it would be lost on most people. Maybe I should start with a...
If you guys are seriously comparing Mike Sherman to Bill Lazor and coming up with Sherman being the better coordinator... you really have no clue...
I'm not holding back s***. Lazor is a very good coach, and I'm convinced he's going to be great. If Albert, Moreno, and Clay stayed healthy, we...
Because I understand offensive and defensive schemes, I understand the offense Lazor has implemented, and I understand why the offense it isn't...
And, that's a good thing. A damn good thing. I hope he's here for years.
Don't annoy these guys with facts... they have an agenda to propagate. :lol:
Well, in all fairness, chunk-yardage plays were not completely absent from the offense earlier in the year. Before we hit a string of injuries, we...
Well, let's just walk outside to the Franchise WR Tree and pick one. :wink2:
I think Lazor is caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to protecting Tannehill. When he doesn't leave in extra guys, Tanny has...
He was a huge loss. As was Moreno.
If the defense tackles better, all the 'Coyle is an idiot/needs to be fired' guys would be silent. Well... they'd be *****ing about something...
Agreed. I think he stays. Personally, I want to see one more year. At the moment, that's where my line is drawn.
Gotcha. My reply to that is... Lazor can call the plays but he cannot execute them. Very rarely have I seen us stall on a drive and come to the...
Well... with all due respect, then you need to ask someone who is an X's and O's guy. Like me. And, I can say with full confidence that this...
Baloney. Execution is why we lost all our games.
I can't say I agree with you at all.
Well... I didn't say make him our head coach right this very minute. :tongue2:
When I watch Bill Lazor, I wonder if I'm looking at our next head coach.
I think the Saban comparison is fair. JJ not so much, IMO. Saban is a guy much like Harbaugh. Their style is better suited for coaching younger...
Getting a big play WR isn't going to solve the problem either way. To improve the deep ball, they need to start with getting players that can...
He didn't sucker punch anyone in the back of the head after their helmet came off this season. That's an improvement. Bye and good luck, I guess.
I'm not concerned with where he lines up. He is a great football player. He will always be a guy that can be counted on no matter where you put...
I have one more name to add to that list of guys who need to be on the way out... Adam Schein. The guy who wrote the article. Not that I think...
It's like Deja Vu all over again.
Two weeks ago, I could have given you 5 reasons. Now, I don't think I can. Getting all new coaches and all new systems will be a pain, but, if...
Hey... How It's Made is on... sweet
wow Looks like Goodell made call into the refs today. Maybe next year, fellas. :pity:
I hear ya. It's just the playoffs are on the line. These mistakes and missed opportunities are stinging more than usual.
That hurt.
They're getting away with some holding up front, but... this is a good drive by the Ravens. If they score, our early mistakes are going to...
So... this is your gig today? Standing around pissing in everyone's cornflakes? LOL... you go, big guy.
THAT. WAS. HOLDING. wow
That was an absolute gift. Good play by Stanford.
The defense wouldn't even be on the field if Gibson had done his job and made the catch. You know exactly what I meant.
Ravens now driving. Thanks Brandon Gibson!
The talk of Gibson > Landry in the offseason is now laughable. Next time... hit #14. The playoffs are on the line and Tanny needs to get it to...
I felt when Moreno went down, the offense lost a lot of their heart. He was the right guy at the right time for us. Too f'n bad. Makes me sick.
I agree with Deej. He's an overrated possession receiver. Overpriced, and a headcase to boot.
I hope you're right. Our DL has not played well the last couple of weeks, and I'm not certain that is due to adjustments behind them. You think...
When we're healthy... yes, we are clearly a playoff caliber team. I don't think we have enough talent to overcome losing practically all our...
I think it's also important to note that this is the first year in Lazor's offense. I'm not sure how many opportunities the coaches have had to...
Harbaugh needs to coach Michigan. [edit] His... 'style'... is better suited for coaching college.
This. Our amazing DL just got whipped. Either they were all hung-over or Denver's maligned OL managed to play a great game.
Post of the f'n year.
Tannehill is pretty good. But, you know... he's no Brandon Weeden. :shifty:
You know, you guys can think whatever you want about the coaches and that's fine. I think, at this moment, the team is heading in the right...
I like the direction the team is heading right now with Philbin, Lazor, and Coyle. The AFC playoff race is going to be tight and I see the...
I feel we are two players away from being elite. One on offense, one on defense. We need one 5-star player at RB, WR, or TE... as in a Ricky...
This team is getting respect. I'm more confident in this team right now than I have been since #13 retired. Fins. Up. :up:
Either that, or... they were wrong about him and don't have the nards to admit it.
LOVE that guy. Jarvis Landry is everything I expected Stedman Bailey to be when I had a man-crush on him in the '13 draft. I could not be more...
This is Virgil Green... the #2 TE?
I want the Broncos at full strength. I don't want any excuses if the Fins win. I want our boys to go out and earn the respect they deserve.
I thought Jonas Gray's success against the Colts had more to do with the Pats OL and the Colts defense (or, lack thereof) than Gray himself. And,...
Good. Jim Harbaugh is a douche-bag. He needs to go back to college.
Those guys were bad mother f*****s.
I know, right? It's like he's so quick friction even has a problem keeping up with him.
I am so proud of both of those guys. Landry is a star in the making and James did such a solid job moving over to LT.
Good call. :up:
You sound like a nice guy. So, this is no knock on you personally. However, I have to say that the Lions are absolutely one of the dirtiest teams...
PI should have been called on Calvin Johnson... but, no call. Shocker.
Detroit is one dirty football team. If I were a fan, I'd be embarrassed.
Even if we score more points than Detroit, this game is a loss. We are getting beat up, and I don't like our chances now against the Bills on a...
