***Official Dolphins vs. Cowboys Hall of Fame Game thread***

I think

- Jordan made a number of plays tonight.
- Thomas should be cut, Miller & Gray run with more authority. Miller had the brain dead fumble, which I don't think will happen again, and he rebounded nicely. Gray certainly has the potential to be good, I just think he's got to get used to the speed of the game. Gilly appeared to me to be...raw.
- Maybe Egnew woke up.
- All Gibson does is catch 1st downs. Its practically automatic.
- I believe our receivers will be Wallace, Hartline, Gibson, Matthews, Bumphis and/or McNutt.
- I think by the end of preseason, we'll be hearing talk of Devlin should be #2.

 

He knew his back was against the wall tonight. What did he have, 5 yards on 4 carries plus a catch for 1 yard?

 

I'm pretty certain that Derrick Shelby is way ahead of Tristan Okpalaugo. I think you're under selling him by quite a bit.

 

Did they end up saying anything about Devlin? I thought he limped off after his last play, and then Matt Moore came back out. Just curious.

 

I meant by people that others respect. Sorry for the confusion......

 

Whatever it was, Martin wasn't "beat" on that play. The pocket collapsed due to interior pressure and tannehill was back pedaling.

 

All they said was that he was "nicked up."

 

According to Omar Kelly, Pat Devlin injured his hand tonight and the team will have to have an MRI on it.

It's a shame. Pat Devlin did well tonight. The primary reason I objected to the Dolphins giving Matt Moore $4 million worth of guaranteed money to come back is the team seemed to be very confident in Devlin and they seemed to be training him for the primary backup spot, so I questioned why (after all the time spent grooming him) they'd suddenly shy away and buy Matt Moore for another $4 million which is a pretty big chunk of coin.

But if Devlin is out any length of time then we'll be glad we brought Moore back after all.

 

I think if you can bring back a back up who has led the team to wins in the past, then $4million is a small price to pay.

 

There is so much herping and derping at Finheaven its funny.

 

For all we heard about the emphasis on forcing more turnovers: zip.

And we gave up a 15 yard gain on our only forced fumble.

Just frustrating...

 

Shame... I thought Devlin looked good last preseason, from his showing tonight he looked good too.. Hope its nothing too serious.

 

I couldn't agree more. I thought to myself "sure looks like what they'd want to see out of DT". Gray looked really sharp. Thanks for bringing him to my attention last season.

 

Lamar Miller isn't going to get playing time? Ryan Tannehill isn't going to get playing time? What about Jon Martin? Dallas Thomas?

 

No. I evaluate performances. You may call them "meaningless" or whatever. I only go by what happens in the game. If you want to sugarcoat it, excuse it, overlook it, have at it. There is nothing stopping you. I won't tell you to "shut up"...I'd appreciate the same courtesy.

 

I was having a lot of fun watching Dion Jordan last night. He looked good, not that I'm any judge of talent, but he seemed really disruptive.

 

I am aware of this. Which first stringers looked good to you? The Oline? Lamar Miller? Ryan Tannehill? I assume that we will have RY, LM, and and Oline on the first string? If they looked great to you, I respect that. We just disagree.

Furthermore, 2nd and 3rd stringers are on the team.

 

Hmmmm...You are now advocating "mass suicide" by people expressing disappointment by this team? I hinted that an argument by go "over a poster's head" and I was scolded by the moderators. I wonder if we'll see you still posting in the future, considering an option for people who disagree with you is death.

 

Wow. This is unbelievable. One person advocates suicide for those who disagree and others "thank" him for it. Is this okay? Because if it is, I think I'll use it.

 

Why didnt Marcus Thigpen played?

 

100% Miller.

 

All I am going to say is it seemed a little sloppy last night, hopefully they clean it up....and I am officially concerned about their OL....

LOVED Jordan.....

 

Exactly. And then it'll be, "oh, its just one game". "Its only Ryan's first year with weapons", "the Oline couldn't get", "rookies in the secondary"....excuse factory never stops producing, thats for certain.

 

The best player on this team at his position might be Brandon Fields.

The positives -

Lamar Millers speed - Phillip Wheeler - Jonas Gray - Michael Egnew

The negatives

Ryan Tannehill looked lost - Dallas Thomas looked as bad as any player in any game of any season - 1st and goal inside the Dallas ten the 2 minute warning just expires and we call a timeout - just amateurish.

7-9 whether you believe it, like it, or care to live it.

 

He recognizes!!!!!! and to think he was picked on unfairly in the Survivor Game....damn you!!!!

 

Totally agree, based on this sample. Nothing made me feel good about this team. I am firmly now in the 7-9 camp.

 

Lol, seriously?? People are going to base this season on a ****ing meaningless preseason game? I feel like I'm back at Finheaven.

 

Apparently, you can keep producing these posts ad nauseum. It's the first of 5 preseason games. Your overreaction is beyond silly and shows lack of reasonable vision. Again, if in the third and fourth preseason game they look the same, then the complaints become more valid.

For everyone else, you can put him on ignore list for the next preseason game discussion. It will be much better

 

I don't think most people are, just a couple who seem to be new and posting a lot about it.

 

Making predictions based on preseason............lolol

Some of you need to calm down. Philbins philosophy when it comes to preseason seems to be he wants the team to be as vanilla on offense and defense as you can be. Did we even blitz last night?

 

0-16 ... book it ... done ... F-U if you disagree
:-p

 

The 7-9 prediction has nothing to do with the Dallas game. I look at the Dallas game and it confirms nothing. It's the first of five preseason games barely 3 weeks into camp on a team that definately needs a camp.

They will go 7-9 because they play a tough schedule with sub par talent. Period.

 

Incredible. Tell me more!

 

If you say so.
