Mike and Mike In The Morning Two A Days
35 replies
They will be previewing Miami's season this morning and giving their predictions. Golic isn't in today either, Buster Olney is filling in.


just another reason i love this site. i was watching M&M, and wondering why the Phins and Vikes helmets were on the desk. Its a good ploy, because i kept watching for that reason alone. I really hate baseball, and I listened to them talk about it for over 10 minutes just because of the helmet on the desk.
Thanks for the heads up on the helmet reasoning. :knucks:
mike just said that GB plays every good team in the AFC. Is he retarded? They only play one division.
EDIT: The AFC south, give me a break.

Probably came out wrong. I'm sure he meant to say every team they play from the AFC is a good one. Although I disagree because the Titans and Texans are barely good.
he was exaggerating to make his point.
Well, they made their picks. Greeny said 5 and 11 and Golic and Olney are both in agreement at 3 and 13 for the fins.

1)Will Pennington be the 1st of many QB's to start for the Fins this season?(he said 1st of 2)
2) Will Ronnie Brown be able to bounce back( they think so)
3) Will the defense be better this year without JT( they don't think so but it had to be done))
4) Will Ricky be an important part of the offense( they think so)

Crap, I missed the first 3 questions. Anyone have a link where we can watch or does anyone have a mental transcript they can post?
Travis - they said you can listen to all the two-a-days at espnradio.com.

3-13, give me a break. Our new conditioning program will get us to 4 wins alone. Player improvements should get another 2 wins. Coaching improvements another 2. I dont see 8-8 as very far fetched. We lost a lot of games by not very many points last year. And our roster was twice as pathetic as it is now.

They're both, admittedly, not Dolphin fans, so I'm not surprised at their picks. Greeny said there's no way we go 8 and 8.

I hope we can do our part to help them start 0-3.

Exactly. 8-8 is not out of the question.

This begs the question - would you consider 5 wins a successful season after last year? I don't believe 8 and 8 is out of the question for us.

I definitely think 5 would be a step in the right direction and far better then many expect but 7-8 wins isn't unthinkable...

I don't there is a bar to be set for this year. During the first year of a rebuild you can't focus on winning. It's more important that chemistry and philosophy be established at all levels. From there, winning will follow.
I expect 6-8 wins; but I wouldn't consider less to be unsuccessful.

good morning sweety, it is nice to see you up and about this am.
for me, it depends on how we play and earn those wins. Coach said he was pissed about the team not finishing the buc game, that what squad was on the feild is inconsequential. If he can get the team to buy into that and deliver the effort for 60 minutes then the won/lost won't matter much to me. I really think that barring injuries we need to see steady improvement week to week. If we do all the right things, AND if we continue to improve then I agree, eight and eight is not out of the question.

8 and 8 would be an EXTREMELY successful season for me.

The measuring stick for the NFL is, of course, wins and losses but for this team it may not be all about wins and losses...what I'd like to see come out of this season is some answers to the questions that have plagued us for years...
1) Is the OL now going to be legit ?? Can they meld together and produce like an NFL offensive line should ?? (I feel we are well on our way, but have to see it first)
2) Can we resolve the QB questions ?? (I don't think it get's answered this season)
3) Can this team change it's mentality of losing that it's developed over the last few seasons ?? (the appearances of change is there but will we still feel that way in January)
4) Can we finally start counting on and getting solid performances from our rookie class ?? (talk to me in 3 yrs, but this also looks promising)
So 5-11, 6-10, 1-15, 8-8 doesn't really mean as much as positive answers to the questions above...
1. Golic and Greenberg are worthless dopes who'd rather talk about anything other than sports. They're 2 of 1,000 talking heads on ESPN. Their opinions aren't worth any more than, say, Scott Van Pelt's and Chris Carter's.
2. If we win 6 games this year, I will be pleased.
3. 3 wins would be an utter failure.
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

Let us know how you REALLY feel.

I think it is a pipe dream for us ot get 8 wins. Rookie headcoaches who have jettisoned ALL of the team leaders from last year and are rebuilding from the ground up, rarely fleshes out to a .500 record.
If we are able to get 8 wins with what we have this year, then Sparano should get the Coach of the Year award named after him.
I think we should all be lucky if we see 5 W's this season.
