Welcome—Aurora Novae Dies…

Welcome friends to the dawn of a new day, a new beginning, a fresh start for friends and fellow Dolphin fans to meet, converse and enjoy all things Dolphins.

If you have any difficulty logging in please e-mail the site address:

finsmob.unleashed@gmail.com

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment this new blog has succeeded in is eliminating the need for a character to have a space between paragraphs. It’s the small things that really matter most in the end.

Draft season is here. We will breakdown just about everybody (except the guys we usually draft) project picks, campaign for players, campaign against players.

Free Agency will open soon to give us a better indication of where the Dolphins may go. Do you we spend BIG? Do you we take a more conservative approach? Let’s all figure it together.

We want you to consider this blog, as related to Sun Life Stadium, the newly renovated blog, the blog with the gigantic umbrella if you will.

 

sunlife2

This site, my friends, was built by a team of willing and contributing people who like you simply love to chat about our beloved Dolphins.

Welcome and enjoy!

    Is no one visiting today? Was this a one-time only event?

    Slow going this morning hopefully more of the folks invited will check their email soon

  6. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Good morning! I’ve had a cold for like a week, and haven’t been sleeping well, and finally I was having a good night’s sleep, and I get a call at 7AM from one of my son’s teachers about getting him his homework (he’s sick too). I didn’t answer it, I was in a semi-coma, but it was hard to fall back asleep, but I finally did, and then an about an hour later, I get the auto-call from the school telling me my son is absent. FUCK OFF!!! lol

  7. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    Sorry, I’ve been in a meeting…I saw where Tim has accepted our invite, approved that, now I’m looking for a moderated comment to let him post. So far, the only one I see.

    I cleared my cache, I’m good now

    yeah well usually when clear my cash things pop up and then i am good too.

    and i see the god damn mother f-ing reply button is still around. i see i don’t mean shit to you boys

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Welcome Rob! Speaking of the reply, if you check out the top right of the screen next your avi, there is a cartoon text bubble. If you click it, it will show you all of the replies made to you.

  11. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    So you get just two replies on a post?

  12. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Mike E replied to me twice and then there was no reply on his last post. I don’t have a problem with it, just feeling things out.

  13. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    mike

    great just what i need. another reminder that no one talks to me. right, like i am going to click on that button for more disappointment.

  14. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    So, is there anything in particular you guys don’t like (besides the reply) that you think should be changed?

  15. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    So I see FFR is already complaining and that cartoon text bubble doesn’t seem to work for me.

  16. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Herd, thanks for activating me.

  17. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    I do have a simple question. Don’t know if this is the place or time. But is the blog open to everyone? And no beating around the bush here, even though I do not care for a few from the last blog, in my opinion this blog should be open to every one.

    If I am told it is none of my business, I can respect that.

    Awesome to see GDP, Trypod, Manitoba & FFR on here. I am going to be busy today but I will be on tonight.

  21. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    FFR – If you must know, then yes, everyone will be welcome

  22. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Mike E, it says no activity yet.

    lol @ tim. not to brag good man, but i am a way way way bigger dickhead then that little thing.

  24. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Maybe pictures are not such a great idea. LOL

  25. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Still can’t get over how great this place looks.
    I’m not a smart phone user but my wife is always taking about this or that site being slow to download. Anyone know the speed of this one is compared to the old one?

  26. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    IT at work has blocked me. I can read a post but if I click on comments I get a message saying it’s blocked. 😡

  27. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Not sure how this blog decides where the screen should go to when I refresh?

  28. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    got to love that poll. the only viable answer is that you like polls

    if you pick ‘meh’ answer……well you are not honest cause you answered the poll to begin with
    if you pick ‘death to polls’……you are depriving some poor stripper a chance to work her way thru dental college.

    the only logical answer is that you like polls.

  29. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    hey can i answer tim as to where he should go when he refreshes. lol

    Herd
    I post sometimes from my phone
    I have some issues with posting from my work comp as well

  32. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    Everyone must be busy today. Most of us haven’t blogged for over a week- you’d think there’d be more activity. Then again, I really don’t have a lot to do, so I am probably not being fair to everyone :-\

  33. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I’ve also noticed that sometimes either after I comment, or just refresh the page, that I end up not at the last comment, or the bottom of the page, but somewhere else. Not sure how or why that happens.

    • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

      I can’t say I have experienced that, but that could be because I have only used my phone up til now.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        It’s kind of odd, sometimes it looks like it’s going to stop at the bottom of the page, and then it goes up a few posts for some reason. No idea why.

  34. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I’m taping all the Senior Bowl practices. Haven’t watched any yet, but there doesn’t seem like any rush. We gots all the time in the word until we play again. lol

  35. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Dennis Hickey on Mike Wallace: We look at all things with all our players

    Good! You better look at the whole season and not just one game. All I saw was a guy balling hard, making plays, and scoring TD’s. It will really piss me off if we cut him. If we trade him, we better get some good compensation for him, because you know he’s going to catch 10-15 TD’s and average 18.0 YPC somewhere else.

    • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

      I can’t say I have a read on what they are going to do. Right now it seems they are going to try to get rid of him, based on their non-committal to his future.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      I think they’d love to move him. This was his rep in PIT and why they let him walk. He’s not a good teammate.

  36. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Mike E, the page is landing me at your post discussing why the page goes where it goes. LOL

  37. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    LOL – That’s funny Tim.

    My question is this. Does every player on the team have to be the best teammate, or best person? Most diva WR’s are selfish bastards, but most teams deal with them because they help you win. Wallace helped us win, and IMO, if Tannehill could throw the ball deep better, Wallace would be much more valuable, and much happier.

  38. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Lisa – Didn’t work for me either.

  39. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    From the Dolphins official website: I find this very surprising . . .

    Stat that stands out: Jenkins became the 30th Dolphins player since 1992 to record 100 or more tackles in a season and also had 3.5 sacks, making him the only Miami player other than Bryan Cox in the past 23 seasons to have at least 100 tackles with at least 3.5 sacks.

  40. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    it isnt that i am busy it is just i am afraid of tim.

    BAD BALLS

  42. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Tim

    Yeah, Zach didn’t do it, but even if Zach didn’t, I’m surprised no one else has. It’s not all that hard to get 100 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Most guys who get a lot of tackles don’t usually get a lot of sacks because they’re usually LBs who aren’t pass rushers.

  43. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    zach didnt get 3 sacks cause every time he blitzed he thought his job was to run into and occupy the fullback

    ffr made it here, welcome. What do you think of the place?

  49. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    GDP, you want to keep barking up that tree about every player that leaves here and blame it on Philbin, go ahead, I won’t bring it up again. Davis, Dansby and Odrick were not exactly great players for Miami either. We went 6-10, 7-9 and 8-8 with all of them. Odrick is a UFA by the way.

  50. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    NE should lose their 1st round draft pick too.

    I hear ESPN radio all day long saying “It’s no big deal”. Covering the patsie ass, its so egrigious its sickening. Cowherd, “I’m not a moralist”, yeah until it’s the patsies every other time he’s Mr. Moreal Highground.

    It is a big deal, despite espn’s poll saying 70% agree it didn’t effect the outcome of the game. NOT THE POINT, they still usurped the rules and tried to gain an unfair advantage.

    Fire Goodell, I’m actually onboard with this.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      The outcome of the game has nothing to do with it. It’s against NFL rules and another example of Belichick and his cheating ways. He shouldn’t be able to coach in the SB game, then he should be suspended all of next season, and the Pats should lose their 1st rd pick. Maybe then he’ll stop with his cheating ways.

      • son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

        I completely agree.
        And if they get they’re wrist slapped then I’m fully on board with M13 that Goodell needs to be fired.

        STOP RUINING OUR GAME YOU ASSHOLES

  51. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Tim, glad you made it here good to see you buddy.

  52. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    My guy TE Clive Walford is simply tearing the Senior Bowl practice up….get this guy Hickey!

  53. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Tim, I’m just having fun with it, I don’t really blame everything on Joe. So you can untie that knot in your panties now. :mrgreen:

  54. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    If we don’t hold onto Clay, Walford may be a decent option, but I do like O’Leary.

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      Do you see O’Leary as a significant upgrade over Sims?

      It seemed like O’Leary kind of disappeared at times this year – not sure if that’s because opposing teams were game planning him out of the equation.

      • son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

        Good hands, good size and Jack Nicklaus is his grandpa. I see O’Leary as another Sims, Lynch type with maybe better hands and big play ability.

  55. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    GDP, did you see that Jacoby Glenn (UCF redshirt sophomore) has entered the draft. Only had 7 picks and 18 passes defended. I’d like to keep him in state, nice piece opposite Grimes.

    • getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

      I thought he had said he’s staying in school?
      I like his length, he’s very raw, but could become a good one. Coyle would cream.

  56. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    How do you make green smileys?

  57. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    @MattBowen41: WR Phillip Dorsett (Miami) is electric in the 3-step passing game. No wasted movement in his route/break.
    @nfldraftscout: I want Phillip Dorsett on my team. So explosive off the line and he doesn’t drop the ball.
    ______________
    Another receiving talent from the U that’s difficult to cover….and this kid has 4.3-4.45 wheels. Could replace Wallace even if we keep Wallace 1 more year due to contract.

  58. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Son, if NE gets a slap on the wrist fans and the media are going to grill the NFL until they do something. I don’t care if Goodell is fired or not, the NFL’s issues are more than just him.

  59. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    They say the deflated balls help the running backs too, no fumbles for any patsie back in the playoffs and look who they have, the fumble crew.

  60. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    I’ll be back later gotta run

  61. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    They might not be able to tie this one to Bellichek, but then my guess is there is some Pats equipment manager that TMZ is offering big bucks to right now. They can try to pay him off, but then he could just take it and have an even better story to tell for more money.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Yeah I’m sure the only one who didn’t know was Belichick. He knows everything that is going on except for the questionable stuff. LOL

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Only ways this doesn’t fall on the Pats in some way is if the officials screwed up on the pregame PSI measurements.

  63. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    I don’t care if Indy would have lost anyway. They need to say if you are caught cheating you forfeit the game. Obviously fines and loss of draft pics don’t bother NE.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Yeah I heard that on the radio this morning. Eli Manning also has a procedure with the balls that takes like 5 days. The NFL allows the QBs to break in the balls, but they have to be inflated a certain amount.

      Aaron Rodgers prefers the ball to be inflated to the max but the NFL doesn’t allow that.

  91. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    The Dolphins and their doctors are beyond encouraged, and pleasantly surprised, by how quickly left tackle Branden Albert has progressed from reconstructive knee surgery, a source has told the Miami Herald.
    .
    Albert is one of several Dolphins players whose seasons were cut short by major injury; Knowshon Moreno, Dannell Ellerbe and Will Davis are among the others.
    .
    “The rehabs have gone well,” Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey said. “All of those guys are on schedule and doing really well. They’re in almost every day, so it’s good to see him. They have a great attitude. They’re attacking their rehab. Every one of those guys are on schedule.”

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      Moreno certainly has extra incentive to rehab quickly: $$$

      Kudos to all though for putting in the effort. It can’t be easy.
