The city of Boston, Massachusetts, was awarded an NFL franchise on July 9, 1932. George Preston Marshall and three other investors owned the franchise. The new team took the name “Boston Braves,” the same name as their baseball landlords at Braves Field. This new franchise amassed over $46,000 in financial losses during their inaugural season. The three investors divested themselves, leaving Marshall as the sole owner of the Braves. Marshall moved the team to Fenway Park for the 1933 
season. He hired “Lone Star” Dietz, a self-professed part Sioux Indian, as his head coach. In honor of Dietz, Marshall changed the team’s nickname to the “Redskins.” After three mediocre campaigns (1933-1935) Marshall hired Ray Flaherty to be the next head coach for the 1936 season. The Redskins won the Eastern Division crown with a 7-5 record. Unfortunately, only 4,813 fans showed-up for Boston’s final home game so an angry Marshall voluntarily gave up the home field advantage for the NFL Championship Game. The game was moved to New York’s Polo Grounds where the Green Bay Packers defeated the Boston Redskins 21-6. In 1937 Marshall moved the team to Griffith Stadium in Washington, the home of the Washington Senators baseball team. It was in the course of moving to Washington that the Redskins drafted, then signed, strong-armed TCU quarterback “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh, perhaps the greatest all-around player in NFL history. At one point in his Hall of Fame career, Baugh was the best quarterback, the best cornerback and the best punter in the game. As a quarterback he led the league in passing yards per game 6 times; 9 times he led the NFL in completion percentage. As a defensive back, Baugh is the only player in NFL history to throw four touchdowns in a game and INTERCEPT FOUR PASSES IN THE SAME GAME while playing defense!! As a punter, Baugh led the league in punting average four straight years
(1940-1943). In 1940, Baugh averaged 51.4 yards per punt, an all-time NFL record! In 1941, he averaged 48.73 yards, the third best in NFL history! When Baugh retired he owned 13 NFL records. He is an original charter member of the NFL Hall of Fame!! Under Baugh’s guidance, the Redskins advanced to the 1937 NFL Championship Game IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON!! The Redskins defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21 in Wrigley Field to claim their first NFL title. In 1940 the Bears got revenge, annihilating Washington 73-0 (even though the Redskins had defeated the Bears a few weeks earlier in the regular season)! The 1942 title game saw Washington edge Chicago 14-6. The following year, Chicago defeated the ‘Skins 41-21. In 1943, Baugh led the NFL in passing, punting and interceptions. In 1945, Washington met the Cleveland Rams (soon to be the L.A. Rams) in the NFL title game. The Rams won a 15-14 squeaker. From his rookie year in 1937 through 1945, Baugh led the Redskins to 5 NFL Championship Games, winning 2 and losing 3. Beginning in 1946 the Redskins organization fell into disarray. In 1961, Washington moved into the new D. C. Stadium (renamed RFK Stadium in 1969). But the mediocrity continued. Many blamed George Preston Marshall’s racist views for the ‘Skins inability to field another championship team. Marshall steadfastly refused to integrate his football team. Finally, under immense pressure from the Kennedy administration, and from the D.C. government (which OWNED D. C. Stadium), Marshall relented and acquired African-American future Hall of Fame back Bobby Mitchell from the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell, who had a frosty relationship with Marshall, amassed 14,078 combined yards and 91 touchdowns in his brilliant career as a rusher, pass receiver and kick returner. Marshall died Aug. 9, 1969. Within a few months, famous attorney Edward Bennett Williams gained control of the franchise. He hired legendary coach Vince Lombardi, who directed Washington to a 7-5-2 record in 1970. Shortly after the season, Lombardi died of colon cancer. In 
1971 Williams hired ex-Rams coach George Allen as head coach. Allen, who was partial to seasoned veterans, developed a team known as the “Over the Hill Gang.” Allen’s Redskins lost to the ’49ers in the NFC semi-finals that season. Hopes were very high for the Redskins’ faithful as the 1972 season began. Allen’s team included quarterbacks Sonny Jurgensen and Bill Kilmer; star running back Larry Brown; center Len Hauss; receiver Charley Taylor; linebacker Chris Hanburger and safety Pat Fischer. Washington won their first two games of the season before suffering an agonizing 24-23 loss to New England (a team Miami defeated by scores of 52-0 and 37-21). After the loss Allen replaced Kilmer with Jurgensen. Jurgensen’s season ended three weeks later he tore an achilles tendon. Bill Kilmer was reinstated as the starting quarterback and led the Redskins to a 6-2 mark over the final eight weeks. Their overall season record was 11-3. Washington hosted its first post-season game IN 30 YEARS when they played Green Bay in the NFC semi-finals. The Redskins strong defense paced them to a 16-3 victory. Then, in the NFC Championship Game, Washington crushed the Dallas Cowboys 26-3. Soon after this game the gambling parlors in Las Vegas established the 13-3 Redskins as 3-point favorites over the undefeated Miami Dolphins (a fact Don Shula brought to his players’ attention during the two weeks of preparation). And what to make of Don Shula? Four years earlier, his Baltimore Colts were three-touchdown favorites over Joe Namath’s Jets. Shula referred to his loss in Super Bowl III as his “darkest moment.” Then, just one year ago, Shula’s young Dolphins were blown-out by the Cowboys in Super Bowl VI. Many believed Shula simply could NOT win a Super Bowl. That belief helped make Washington the favorite in Super Bowl VII. Former Colts’ owner Carroll Rosenbloom repeated his famous comment that “Shula always freezes-up in the big game. Washington will win easily.” Rosenbloom made these comments despite the fact that Shula’s Colts had gone 11-1-2 in 1967 and 15-1-0 in ’68 before losing Super Bowl III to New York. Shula’s two-year record of 26-3-2 was, and still IS, the best two-year run in Colts’ franchise history. Shula’s decision to start Bob Griese drew fire from some observers. Griese had not played a full game in over 3 months. And, in Super Bowl VI, Griese completed only 12 of 25 passes for 105 net yards passing. And his Dolphins’ offense produced an all-time record low 3 points in a Super Bowl. Add to that was the fact that Miami struggled to win two very close playoff games. Washington, on the other hand, dominated their two playoff foes. It seemed like the Redskins were peaking at just the right time. Then, just to throw a little more fire onto the Super Bowl flame, President Richard Nixon came out publicly in favor of the Washington Redskins. He said, “I always root for the home team and, right now, the Redskins are my home team.”
While many skeptics doubted Shula and his Dolphins, I did NOT. This was NOT Super Bowl III nor Super Bowl VI. This was the ’72 Dolphins vs, the ’72 Redskins. The ’72 Dolphins crushed New England twice during the season while the ’72 Redskins LOST to New England. The ’72 Dolphins beat Buffalo TWICE while the ’72 Redskins lost to Buffalo. The ’72 Dolphins, statistically, had the best rushing team in NFL history; the ’72 Redskins did not. And the ’72 Dolphins had the league’s #1 ranked offense and #1 ranked defense; the ’72 Redskins did NOT. The ’72 Redskins were playing for a championship. The ’72 Dolphins were playing for FOOTBALL IMMORTALITY! I was convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt the Mi
ami Dolphins would win this game! According to Nick Buoniconti, Miami’s top priority was to stop Larry Brown and force Kilmer to pass. Miami shifted their defense so it was strongest where they felt Brown would run. It worked! Washington’s center Len Hauss simply could not handle defensive tackle Manny Fernandez. “Fernandez beat their center like a drum,” said Buoniconti. And the Redskins’ running game suffered. Shula and his coaches devised a way to control Kilmer’s passing game. They set-up a defense that took away Kilmer’s favorite play, the slant-in pass. Arnsparger wanted to force Kilmer to beat them with sideline out-passes. In truth, the 33-year old Kilmer lacked the arm strength required to throw those sideline bullets. These defensive strategies were effective. Washington would fail to score a single point on offense THE ENTIRE GAME!! Miami won the toss and decided to receive. But the drive stalled. Each team punted on their first two possessions. The Dolphins got the ball on their own 37 with 2:55 left in the first quarter. Two Jim Kiick running plays garnered 11 yards and a 
first down. Bob Griese then stepped back and tossed a perfect 18-yard pass to Paul Warfield, who beat double coverage and got the ball to Washington’s 34! On 3rd down and 4 from the 28, Griese looked down field for reliable Howard Twilley. Twilley faked an inside route then scampered to the outside and caught Griese’s long pass at the five yard line. He dragged Pat Fischer into the end zone giving Miami a 7-0 lead with one second left in the opening stanza. “Griese read us real good all day” Fischer would say in the post game locker room. The Redskins tried to rally. But on the third play of their ensuing drive, safety Jake Scott intercepted Kilmer’s long pass intended for Charley Taylor and returned the ball to Washington’s 47. On the very next play, Griese hit tight end Marv Fleming with a 20-yard pass to the ‘Skins 27. But a questionable illegal man downfield penalty against Bob Kuechenberg nullified the play. Again, Washington’s offense was stopped cold by the “No Name Defense.” After a Redskins punt Griese and his offense went to work. Larry Csonka roared for 13 yards and a first down. Jim Kiick scampered for 8 yards. On the next play, Griese threw a deep, gorgeous, 47-yard bomb that PAUL WARFIELD PULLED IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN!! But, there was yet another flag!! An illegal procedure penalty on Marlin Briscoe NULLIFIED THE TOUCHDOWN!! That would be Briscoe’s one, and ONLY, play of the game. Eventually Miami was forced to punt. Washington moved the ball from their own 17 to Miami’s 48 (their first time in Dolphin territory) with under two minutes to play in the half. On third and 3 from Miami’s 41, Kilmer’s pass was picked-off by Nick Buonicont
i! He returned the interception 32 yards to Washington’s 27 yard line! Kiick and Csonka each had 3 yard runs. Then, from the 21, Griese completed a 19 yard pass (his sixth completion in six attempts) to tight end Jim Mandich who made a fingertip catch AT THE TWO YARD LINE!! Two plays later Larry Little and Larry Csonka led Kiick through a hole for a 1 yard touchdown run with just 18 seconds left in the half. The Dolphins had a 14-0 halftime lead that, but for a Briscoe penalty, would have been 21-0! Meanwhile, the “No Name Defense” held Washington’s offense to just 49 yards rushing and 23 yards passing in the first half. It was a dominant first half performance by the underdog Dolphins!! Washington’s offense would have more success in the second half. Starting from their own 30, the ‘Skins offense drove to Miami’s 17, mostly on the passing arm of Bill Kilmer. On the next play, Kilmer’s top receiver, future Hall of Famer Charley Taylor, was open near the goal line. Kilmer threw him a pass. Taylor stumbled on the turf and the ball deflected off his hands. On third down, Manny Fernandez SACKED Kilmer for an 8 yard loss! Place kicker Curt Knight’s 32-yard field goal attempt was WIDE RIGHT!!! “That was the obvious turning point,” said a dejected George Allen. Late in the third period Miami drove 78 yards to the Redskins’ 5 yard line. The key play was a 49 yard run by Larry Csonka. With the ball at Washington’s 5, Miami was set to take an insurmountable 21-0 lead. But Griese’s pass into the end zone 
to Marv Fleming was intercepted by Brig Owens. AGAIN, Miami had been turned away when a score seemed likely. It was now the fourth quarter. Washington mounted their best drive of the day, going 79 yards in 12 plays down to the Dolphins’ 10-yard line. Kilmer saw a wide-open tight end Jerry Smith in the end zone! But his pass hit the crossbar and fell harmlessly to the ground! On third down Kilmer threw to Charley Taylor. But Jake Scott intercepted it in the end zone and ran it back to the Washington 48 yard line! The Dolphins advanced the ball to the 34 with just under 2 and 1/2 minutes to go. It was fourth down and fo
ur. Garo Yepremian lined-up a 42 yard field goal attempt. If good, Miami would wrap-up a 17-0 season with a 17-0 victory. But huge defensive lineman Bill Brundige BLOCKED Garo’s attempt! Garo tried to pass the ball to Csonka, who blocked on field goals. But the ball slipped out of Garo’s hands and went straight up in the air. Mike Bass of the Redskins snapped the ball out of the air and ran it back ALL THE WAY FOR A REDSKINS TOUCHDOWN!! It was 14-7 with 2:07 left to play! To nearly everyone’s surprise, Washington did NOT try an on-sides kick! Miami’s subsequent 5-play drive after the kickoff forced the ‘Skins to use all of their remaing timeouts. Seiple punted the ball back to Washington with 1:14 left on the clock! Now, just one more stop by the “No
Name Defense” was all that separated Miami from football immortality! The Dolphins’ ferocious pass rush hurried Kilmer into two incompletions. On third down, Kilmer tried a swing pass. The “No Names’ stuffed it FOR A FOUR YARD LOSS!! WE WERE ALL STANDING AND SCREAMING OUR LUNGS OUT!! THE CLOCK WAS TICKING!! Kilmer dropped back for one final play!! BILL STANFILL AND VERN DEN HERDER COMBINED TO SACK KILMER AND, THEN, IT WAS OVER!!! — IT WAS OVER!!! —WE WENT CRAZY!! — WE WENT ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!! Horns were blowing!! Dolfans ran up and down the streets of South Florida screaming like crazy!! — IT WAS PARTEEEE TIME, BIG TIME!!! — The Dolphins had completed THE PERFECT SEASON!!! — THE PERFECT SEASON WAS NO LONGER A DREAM!!! — It was REALITY!!! THE PERFECT SEASON WAS OURS’ TO ENJOY!!! AND ENJOY IT WE WOULD!!
Dolphins players hoisted Don Shula up onto their shoulders. A photograph most of us have seen a thousand times shows Shula with his right arm raised and a smile as big as Grand Canyon as he’s carried out onto the field. “This is the ultimate” Shula said later in the locker room. He continued, “it was especially nice to win in Los Angeles where a certain man lives.” He was referring to former Colts’ owner Carroll Rosenbloom who, essentially, traded the Colts franchise for the L. A. Rams and lived in L. A. Rosenbloom’s statement that “Shula always freezes-up in the big games” now seemed like a distant memory. The Don of Miami had been vindicated. And he wasn’t done. In 1973, Shula and his team would win their second consecutive Super Bowl, this time as favorites. A few minutes later, Commissioner Pete Rozelle presented the Lombardi Trophy to Dolphins owner Joe Robbie and to head coach Don Shula. In the franchises’ very first play of their very first regular season game, Joe Auer ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown in the historic Orange Bowl. Now, 
seven years later, the Dolphins had won the NFL Championship Trophy by completing a PERFECT SEASON!! Dolphin fans world-wide were celebrating!! Boy, were they celebrating!! It was a day none of us will ever forget! On the day, quarterback Bob Griese was 8 for 11 for 88 yards and a touchdown to Howard Twilley. Paul Warfield had 3 receptions for 36 yards. A fourth reception for 47 yards and a touchdown was nullified by Briscoe’s penalty. As a team, Miami rushed for 184 yards on 37 carries, a 5.0 average per rush. Larry Csonka led the way with 112 yards on 15 carries. The Dolphins “No Name Defense” did an outstanding job controlling Washington’s offense. Bill Kilmer was 14-28 for only 104 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. Ace receiver Charley Taylor had only 26 yards on 5 receptions while top running back Larry Brown got only 72 yards on 22 carries, an average of less than 3.3 yards per carry. Dick Schaap, editor of SPORT magazine(and future host of ESPN’s “THE SPORTS REPORTERS”) was given the task of selecting the MVP of Super Bowl VII. Schaap selected Miami’s #13, Jake Scott, for his two game-changing interceptions. Schaap later admitted he had been out late the previous night and that he struggled to stay awake during the game. He was observed spending quite a bit of time in the restroom during the festivities. He claimed he was totally unaware that the man who REALLY WAS THE MVP, Manny Fernandez, had an amazing 17 tackles (11 solo) in Super Bowl VII. Another side note: When Garo Yepremian made his infamous blunder late in the game he was so traumatized that he had to be helped from a post-game party complaining of pain up and down his side. He remained in seclusion for two weeks until he was cheered-up by a letter, apparently from Shula, praising him for his contributions to the team and urging him to ignore criticism. In the year 2000 Yepremian mentioned the letter to Shula who said he had no knowledge of it. Shula concluded it was actually sent by his first wife, Dorothy,who died of breast cancer in 1991. Dorothy Shula was a Garo fan. She didn’t want to see him suffer while others were celebrating.
The next day, Monday, January 15, 1973, was your author’s 26th birthday. I was STILL CELEBRATING the previous day’s historic victory. I grabbed a copy of THE MIAMI HERALD. Sports editor Edwin Pope, the dean of Florida sportswriters (still alive and writing part time at age 83) covered the game for his paper. On page one of the front section the headline read “17 and 0 – – – That’s Perfectly Super!” A very large photo of Shula being carried onto the field covered almost half of the front page, along with a story written by Pope. Also, on page one was a story titled “4 Watergate Suspects Reportedly Urged to Enter Guilty Plea” by Bob Woodward and Car
l Bernstein of THE WASHINGTON POST. Page one of THE HERALD’s sports section carried the headline “Dolphins Rule Football World,” by Luther Evans. It featured two large photos of Twilley’s touchdown catch. Edwin Pope’s article at the bottom of the page was titled “A Cakewalk; Dolphins Should Have Strolled 24-0″ Pope wrote, Washington, a three-point favorite? Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, he, he, he … a piece of cake, that’s what it was … This was a clog dancer against Nureyev, a hog-caller against Caruso”. Indeed, despite the score, Miami was by far the better team. Now, on January 15, 1973, there were no doubters, no detractors. Most agreed the ’72 undefeated Miami Dolphins were the greatest team they’d ever seen. That was true in 1973. It is still true today! I will leave you with the very same words I used to begin this report on ABSOLUTE PERFECTION back in game #1: 2012 marks the 40th Anniversary of the greatest achievement by any team in the storied history of the National Football League. In 1972 the Miami Dolphins did what no other team had ever done before AND what no other team has ever done since. They ran the table. They were perfect. They were 17 and 0. It has been my supreme pleasure to write this modest overview of the one and only Perfect Season. May we all live long enough to witness ANOTHER MIAMI DOLPHINS’ PERFECT SEASON! I’ll see you at the stadium! Go-o-o-o ‘Fins!!

So sad. Cars and teenagers are a bad combination…..and that includes me when I was one. Have some scars on my forehead to prove that.
Wells says that the deflategate investigation is going to take a while. Wonder if it takes so lng that the results (and penalties) come up after the draft…………May would be a smart deadzone to dump the thing in.
Anyone remember who long the bullygate report took to come out?
So no punishment for the SB…freakin Pats…
Go Seabuzzards!!!
That was a given at least in my mind. Q is whether this come the draft, but maybe given they will be bottom of the round it is actually better if comes for the next one.
It comes out prior to this years draft.
I hope so dbolt. Just checked and the broken lunch tray was in Oct and the report came out in Feb. This seems it should be much more simple…….but if they get into a historic pattern maybe not.
I don’t think this was a call for an investigation in bullygate until well after artin left the team
It’s easy to quickly deflate a football
Posted by Mike Florio on January 28, 2015, 11:58 AM EST
As the news regarding #DeflateGate has slowed to an enlarged-prostate trickle (for now), the biggest remaining questions are: (1) what did that Patriots employee do with a bag of footballs in 90 seconds behind a closed door?; and (2) is 90 seconds enough time to let air out of nearly a dozen footballs?
Barring a deathbed (or sooner) confession, we’ll never know the answer to the first question. As to the second question, plenty of folks have been experimenting with footballs and needles.
On Tuesday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, for example, I inserted a needle for a few seconds into a ball that had been inflated to 13.5 PSI. A loud hiss emerged, and when the needle was removed it was easier to squeeze the ball. It became clear to me then that, if someone wanted to deflate 10-12 balls in 90 seconds, it would indeed be possible.
Gersh Kuntzman of the New York Daily News performed a more organized test, taking 12 balls that had been inflated to 13 PSI and removed two PSI in a total of 40 seconds. Adding in the time necessary to open the bag and to access the balls and to enter and exit the bathroom, the exercise took 77 seconds.
Kuntzman isn’t the only one who has done it. One highly-placed official with an NFL team “took the top off” a dozen balls in a mere 56 seconds.
“Next time I’m gonna pee as well,” the source said.
All I got out of your post there GDP is that I feel bad for Gersh Kuntzman. lol
Ya think he got teased as a kid in school?
Uh, yup!
Teased or was he a hero? It’s the Kuntzman!

3 WR’s will never happen…IMO…but good looking prospects in that draft.
I like it, but a little heavy on WRs. Isn’t Dawson more of a OLB?
He floated around in TCU’s defense. Projected as a MLBS. Best coverage LB in the draft. Reminds me a little of Demeco Ryans.
*
Fuck yeah I take 3WRs if these guys are there when we pick, but that’s just my style😆
LOL Tim, you definitely have always had my vote for “what the fuck did oyu have to search for to find that image” award. LMAO cunt destroyer……
LOL, I came across that image a long time ago so I know it’s out there.
Tim — funny as hell, but that ain’t office/kid friendly. With the pleasure of the new tech comes responsibility.
Baphomet strikes again. 👿
It’s a word, not a guy inserting a pickle jar up his ass with his package in full view. We have articles here about a hamster who goes up guys’ asses. LOL
You’re quite the visual one eh?
But it is a bad word TIm and it comes up pretty big……..there’s the two fine ladies on our board as well.
The danger the Pats face with a deeper investigation is it may find more cheating.
Dbolt, I’ve read that Dawson projects as a 4-3 OLB.
As long as it’s the Dolphins 4-3 OLB
I’m OK with it!
🙂
GDP, maybe you missed FFRs pickle jar video on the other blog.
Tim,
Even if Jordan doesn’t have impact I won’t call him a bust until he plays on a different system and DC.
That won’t make a difference because we’re not a strict 4-3 and he’s been used in multiple ways and he doesn’t really make an impact. I know it’s the coaches but other players seem to be able to be productive.
Stanger, ask UK about the C word. 😉
That word has been thrown around on the blogs quite often. But if it makes people feel better I’ll try to behave myself.
Just considering those who have others walk past there screens at time. You put such in your text and don’t think anyone would notice.
Even in the mocks, i see Carl Davis in the third round and im very tempted to pick him and i just keep going back to the freaking thing i read where after interview people were saying
“He came across lazy and arrogant while giving excuses of protecting himself against underclassmen offensive linemen for why he didn’t practice hard at Iowa. In his games for the Hawkeyes, Davis was inconsistent as he would flash his great ability but disappear for stretches. He also took himself off the field for a lot of plays and told NFL teams that he needs to spend about half the plays on the sideline.”
I just cant justify picking him anymore and it sucks cause he was right there in several strategies, especially if i got a chance to take him in the third.
The interview thing could be a smoke screen…this is the time of year all that BS starts.
FFR’s pickle jar video< uh I musta missed that one, and thankfully so.
It was as nasty as you can imagine. Especially when it breaks and blood pours out of his ass.
What’s wrong with you guys…geez loueez!
Tannehill on SVP & Rusillo at some point before 4pm.

Tim – It’s one thing when it says recommended, but if it says required, you’re gonna do damage to your engine, get carbon build up on the heads, and then your engine will start knocking, and worse down the line. It’s an ’05, and I want to keep it a few more years if I can.

I drive a 2007 Buick Regal GS supercharger 3800 and when you o-pen the gas receptacle it says premium gas only.Premium was very expensive not to long ago and they still gouge you with differences of 30 – 35 cents between gas grades. I only drive it about 200-300 miles a year now while playing ceo of households and driving daughters minivan. What a grand life.
LOL! I don’t drive it often, just when weather like yesterday happens. Otherwise I drive my Mustang, which is quite content to run on regular fuel. If you feed it premium, you actually get an extra 10HP and 10LB FT of torque, but that’s not worth it to me.
JS — I drive so much less than I used to. My car says premium too. Not sure if it is something to just make you feel better about your car or not, but since I don’t hit the road a lot I figure why worry.
GDP, I didn’t shoot the video. What are you an alter boy now? LOL
LOL, No, I’m far from that…but I don’t watch that stuff just because I didn’t shoot it.
Ok, maybe when I was 18 😉
He posted it as a link and there it was. Ugh…
I bet jordan goes to a different system and flourishes. I just don’t think he’s fit for what coyle is running.
Then why was everyone so on board with the pick as we heard…WTF!
Anything to blame the coaches. Jordan is very complicated. LOL
Tim,
TCU plays a 4-2-5 defense. So it’s not a MLB/OLB defined D. Dawson was the QB of the defense just like a MLB. This D produced Daryl Washington as a pro MLB. Dawson can man the middle or an outside spot.
Chris Hackett comes from that great defense too.
Tannehill is next on espn radio
Mike E, I like curry but it’s a very potent spice and the odor is overwhelming.
Mike E in another life being called by his mother for curry chicken.

When I first became ceo of the household my daughter used to take my car because liked the cool car with horsepower and I picked up the kids from school so I needed the cool minivan. Well recently my car has been airing out trying to get this aweful smell from car. The kids left pork chops in car for 4-5 days with 90 plus degrees outside when their parents went on vacation. I have left open the car windows and sprayed lysol on carpets and nothing is getting the smell out. I bought enzyme digester off the internet and I’m getting some results but the smell is still there after 3 months but not as bad.
OH NO!!! The smell!!!
I may have to have the carpet taken out. Car Detailers maybe?

Dbolt, so similar to when we employed the 5-2 defense with Misi and Jenkins this year?
Nope only four DL. 5DBs on the field instead.
I get that, but Misi and Jenkins were really the only LBs in our 5-2, we had LDE, LDT, RDT, RDE and usually Vernon standing up at the LOS as a rusher.
LMAO @ Tim!
Curcumin in turmeric has been reported to be of benefit to dementia, stroke and bowel cancer patients….so keep eating it Mike E.

Ozium is what clued me in to the fact that my son was smoking weed. lol
LOL — just like back in my prep school days. We had a school store where you could charge toiletries and such to your parents account.
At one point my Dad asks me — “Why the F do you buy so much Visine”?
LOL!
gdp,
I wanted to get a oline that draft with our pick at 12. But everyone had Jordan on their borad as a top 5 pick. I’m sure coaching has nothing to do with the fact that we’ve been 8-8 or worst the last 6 years. I’m also sure coaching has nothing to do with the fact that our players go on other teams and become probowlers. Yea its always the players not the coaches.
Execution…I’m all in favor of it for our coaches. 😉
TCU is actually losing most of their defense to the NFL…Kevin White, Chucky Hunter, Chris Hackett, Sam Carter, Paul Dawson
Mike E, I should develop a spray that smells like you just smoked weed….then the kids could tell there parents, See, it’s a new deodorizer spray that’s hip, I’m not really smoking weed.
…or am I…Bwahahaha 😀
Deep man . . . lol

Just read what makes hulk angry and then realized it wasn’t the latest post. I haven’t read Randy’s war & peace above yet, but wanted to say NO THANK YOU to ken about the free hugs. LOL That was a good one, but I will pass. I might break up Randy’s article into two reads as I am at work and have been buried / slammed this last week.
Is Absolute Perfection the same as the last one?
Boulder, lots of players don’t seem to have an issue playing under these coaches. James and Landry as rookies. Tannehill is getting better. Miller had his best year, but Jordan the complicated is being used wrong. LOL
Tanny would be Aaron Rodgers by now in GB.
Lauren, beware of this man. LOL
Jordan also refused to take JT’s offer to help him out. Is the drive there for the ShopVac Bomber?
Miller only had his best year when we CHANGED OC. IF it was up to philbin and you we’d be stuck with Sherman right now.
Anyone here see that Belicheat was wearing flip flops to his interview on Media Day? Real class that guy.
I wish I was wearing flip flops right now
Instead of my snow shoes
Have a solution on that one………………….

Tim,
TCU plays a 4-2-5 defense. So it’s not a MLB/OLB defined D. Dawson was the QB of the defense just like a MLB. This D produced Daryl Washington as a pro MLB. Dawson can man the middle or an outside spot.

Chris Hackett comes from that great defense too.

—————————————-
Actually did not know they ran a 4-2-5, that makes me not like Hackett as much, and does make me like Dawson more. Everyone of the guys on the TCU defense gets at it, that i do know. High energy guys, who kick it up a notch when they smell blood.
D
What do you think of Derrick Malone Jr? S or OLB in the NFL? Potential at either spot worth a late RD pick?
Like him more as a SS in the NFL, we would probably though need to have him play shallow and Jones deep, because i don’t think he is able to match a receiver speed wise in coverage.
Landry is the type you make a long time Dolphin.
This is exactly the type of guys we need to draft. Hardy, Tartt, Johnson (RB), buncha guys who play like they got something to prove.

Tim,
I guess our difference of opinion regarding coaching is that I believe the 2014 team could have been a playoff team under a different coaching staff. You seem to think that the team had talent issues and no one (not even shula or belicheat) coud have made it to the playoffs with that talent.
Lets agree to disagree then.
That’s fine. I just see so many contradictions in comments about this team. I picked them to be 8-8 to 10-6 and as disappointed as I was, I realized we didn’t have the depth to overcome all the injuries.
Let me ask you this? Were you one who thought Ireland was good or bad?
I thought Ireland had some good picks and some bad ones like any GM.
Man this place is going hi-tech. Was wondering what the flashing orange button in the top right was. Just hit learned I can see which of my comments have been responded too.
I’m probably the last one to figure that out other than OD, but this place has all the bells and whistles. Props to Herd and Twice.
If it was up to philbin, sherman would have been OC last year and miller and tanny would have basically been what they were in 2013
So Lazor gets all the praise? What about his offense scoring 16, 13 and 13 points in consecutive games in week 13, 14 and 15 with the playoffs on the line?
Yeah here is where i get a little ruffled witht he people who criticize Philbin. Half the shit you guys criticize him for is failure that were in Lazor’s direct sphere of control. You cant blame Philbin without blaming Lazor, and should actually be more irked with Lazor since it was his game plan, his playcalls.

Aikens being able to win the other safety job would be great. He has good size, he’s played corner, he’s a good tackler. I feel we need to get a little bigger in the secondary.
———————————————–
Another reason i leverage for Tartt and Prewitt, they are 6’1 almost 6’2 and 6’2 respectively. One is a better coverage guy but still support the run well (prewitt) and he other is a impressive tackler, who doesn’t miss and still has better than average coverage skills. He isn’t the “ballhawk” M13 would probably pine for, but i like how he plays.
D, it’s a lot easier to just accept the team wasn’t good enough across the board rather than looking for specific scape goats. We weren’t a 10-6 playoff team or a bad 6-10 team, we were an 8-8 team. Let’s hop we improve and take the next step.
Oh i know, i know there are levels of failure and we failed on a lot of them. We had some thing Philbin could have done better, LOTS that Coyle could have done better, we had issues with injuries, poor play and depth issues, especially OL depth issues. We had bad play calls and scheme adjustments on both sides of the ball. My point is exactly that, People are scapegoating Philbin, but acting like others, also responsible for the poor play, did a good job. Its just silliness.

Wallace is just another example of why we should stay out of the FA game or at least avoid the big names. There’s almost always a reason they come available and it is usually character flaws or contract demands well above what they are truly worth. Someone like Suh certainly is tempting, but his price and baggage just aren’t worth it, IMO.
About the only way to get high character/leaders on this team is to draft them and keep them in the system once you know what you’re paying for. I’m all for working the FA market, but let’s be a player later in the game when there are good bargains to be found. Bring in some older vets for leadership, chemistry, and example.
I think you find guys in FA that also are those kind of guys. Iupati i really feel has represented himself well and shown solid work ethic and character, same with Knighton, another guy im pretty high on. I don’t know much about Dan Williams of the Cards, who is M13’s guy, but i know i HAVEN’T heard bad things so as a rule that satifies my fear we are getting a diva glory-hog (no offense piggy).
drg — completely agree, but then doesn’t that just come down to drafting well? If you are going to do that route then you have to stay the course and have a long-term plan without rebuilds involved. Wanna be on the Steelers, Ravens or Packers model.
I’m all for it, but then us fans have to be patient. That’s a problem sometimes.
We have a chance to stay that course now being that there are a lot of young players on the team and we’ll have another draft. Not saying don’t sign some key parts in FA where there is a major void – see Albert, we weren’t going to find a LT as good as him in the draft, but our 2013 FA signings were a lot of wasted money based on production.
DRG, I agree that FA should be to patch some holes with game ready vets, not find your best players to build your team around. I hope we take that approach this offseason.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
DT Tony McDaniel has had one more tackle (83) in two years with Seahawks than he had in four years with Dolphins (82).
This is where stats don’t tell the whole story.
1. McDaniel was a part-time rotation guy with us, not a starter.
2. He played 3 of his 4 years with us under Sparano. (Nice try Armando)
3. He was hurt most of the year in 2012 under Philbin and missed 5 games.
4. He had 7.0 sacks with us as a part-time player in 4 years as opposed to 2.0 in 2 years with Seattle.
I don’t think mando said anything about philbin or sparano in that post. He was just stating a fact.
tim,
you can spin it however you want but both tanny and miller played much better under Lazor than the did under sherman. That’s a fact.
That usually happens with 3rd year players. It’s called development.
yea that’s rich. I’m sure tanny and miller would have done just as good under sherman. give me a break.
D,
when I criticize philbin, I’m really criticizing his whole staff. He’s the boss. Usually when something is wrong with a company the CEO is the one getting the criticism.
Except for Lazor.
I criticize lazor too. Our offense shit the bed in many games with lazor calling the plays. I wouldn’t’ care one bit if they got rid of lazor this year. But Lazor was better than sherman.

Who is Miko barking at?
Apparently a bunch of people on twitter

you dont know what your missing from the hulk huh……….you do realize he does it with half his clothes ripped off
Boulder, I’ve read Armando long enough to know what he’s getting at. he stated a fact that I shot holes through. He does shit like that all the time.
Armando is wierd, he will drop a really informative article followed by two or three pure just pissy agenda laden opinion pieces that destry what little credibility he had built back with the really good article. These guys need to remind themselves what journalism is and try a lot harder to reach those levels of integrity.

That’s why I hate Twitter. Too many fake accounts and the crap like Miko is doing. Gives ya the douche chills.
I love, or at least appreciate, Miko. First off whatever goes on btwn her and her husband. 2nd — the chick has no filter.
Even if she is way over the top, you listen to what she says on the local radio and after getting over “man she’s crazy”…….you realize she still has the inside scoop. It’s a view into the locker room or at least what Brent shares with his wife.
I’m okay with Miko too
I don’t understand why people are so upset with her
She says some outrageous things – but who cares
She is not an employee of the Dolphins
She can say whatver she wants
Then again, I don;t really care for monitoring for what people say in general
She’s a classless ass, but let her say what she wants- she makes her own bed; she’ll sleep in it as she must.
Ryan Tannehill is going to be on Mike Francesa on WFAN in NY in a few minutes
Fuck, I’ll miss that.

Miko is a divisive CUNT who only talks positively about her husbands circle of friends. She is Brent’s ticket out of Miami. I’m sorry if I offended any ladies with my comment.
I’m worried you’re holding back, and not telling us how you really feel.
Okay, I got to hear Tanny on with Mike Francesa. Very much like his typical press conferences. He’s humble and says the right thing.
So, basically boring. Was he hawking hair care products?
Yeah, that about sums it up. Mike didn’t feed him any tough questions, except maybe for the Axe hairstyling products. lol
LOL

While Tanny was boring, gotta give him props for naming the entire BUF D-line. Just think, a couple of years ago, he didn’t know what division we were in. lol
To me, boring is good, particularly for a qb. If he was Cam Newton, I wouldn’t be happier, even though Cam is a superior athlete, and may prove to be an all-pro qb.
One is in decline at the moment, not progressing as a QB in the league, the other is steadily getting better. Know which one is which?
I know where you are going, and I can’t jump on that bandwagon at this moment. Tannehill progressed steadily if slowly, where as cam has grown in spurts. I think they both have had multiple oc’s. I think Cam has the physical potential to be the better of the 2, but I am not convinced he will ever achieve that because of maturity.
Hard not to be able to tell you all their names, after the crack of their ass, the name on their jersey was the next thing he saw when they were crawling off of him.
I know! I know!!! Tannehill is progressing, and Newton is kinda plateauing.
I buy that Miko is actually a smart woman, i also buy that she knows the sporting world, i think she was a pro athlete as well, she is married to one, she knows the business, etc. Still though she represents herself with utter classlessness. For a woman with a degree in communication (among other apparently) she sure as shit hasn’t mastered foot to mouth avoidance. She gets on twitter and hood rat comes out in her. I kinda liked her in the beginning, she was kinda comical at times but fuck if she isn’t a liability to herself and Brent. Id be ashamed to admit she was a Phin fan, much less a Phin players wife.
Eh, she won’t be a Phins fan after Brent retires, or gets cut or traded.
LOL it was bound to happen:
@FakeMikoGrimes: Ppl say im the realist and nicest wife/fan in the Nfl. Who else talks to fans daily, calling dem poor fucks with shitty careers, and stupid?

——————————————-
I think its partially maturity, but a big part of it is leadership and thats a thing thats much harder to develop than the physical ones. I dont think Tanny will ever possess anywhere near the athletic talent Newton has but he has the leadership ability and he has it natural, he needs to work a little on commanding respect, get in a few more receivers faces, put Wallace in his place a few times.
Newton has to be told once to get his ass up, hold the clipboard and learn, when he got benched and instead of doing his duties he plopped his ass on the bench and sulked. Thats just a really shitty thing, Steve Smith woke his ass up that day, but those tendencies are still in him and you still see it from time to time. I will say i believe he has more potential of fixing that part of him than Jameis, who i think is destined for failure for lacking the same maturity and leadership traits.
He put Wallace in his place the last game of the season when he told him to shut his fucking mouth. Which led to Wallace going to the bench crying and refusing to play.
Tim
I like that Francesa is all over the Pats on this. For some reason I expected the opposite, that he was going to protect Brady, but he’s not, and I love to hear him rip into Patriots fans that defend this garbage.
He’s a pretty straight up guy when it comes down to facts. He’ll blast the Yankees too and he grew a fan and Mickey Mantle was his idol.
The only time I hear about Miko is when someone posts her tweets here. I really don’t care what she does but seeing what she tweets tells me a lot about her. But I happen to know a woman who’s a good friend of ours who has no filter and can embarrass a whole crowd without getting what the big deal is. LOL
I honestly wasn’t out looking for it, i don’t scour twitter for stuff like this, i was a shocked to see how she handled herself as anyone, but when i saw it i was disgusted by it. I guess maybe its my expectations of her, a professional woman, to act with more class.
I wasn’t calling you out. Just pointing out I wouldn’t know about her if it wasn’t for the blogs. M13 has posted her tweets in the past as well.
“Listen here, once you pass 60 you never pass a restroom, never trust a fart and never ignore an erection” — LMAO, Mike is this true?
I’ll let you know when I get there . . .
I think Tannehill is a better pure QB than Newton and believe he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. Newton relies a lot on his size and athleticism. Tannehill uses his athleticism, but doesn’t rely on it. He works at being a pure pocket passer but has options. Newton still doesn’t look comfortable as a pure pocket passer despite making some very good throws. He has talent, but he’s not a technician.
Lol, really………….

Nice now i know why they are letting Knighton hit FA, YAY for us.Also may provide a trade partner if we are picking and Shelton is still on the board.
I think Knighton can play NT. I don’t know that Denver is letting him hit FA, he is a UFA.
Its letting him hit FA if they don’t try to re-sign him…..
GOOD EVENING FELLOW DOLFANS!!; My sincerest thanks to all of you for your comments regarding my Super Bowl VII segment of “ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.”–If you found it to be long and wordy, rest assured. THIS is BY FAR, the longest article in EITHER series. –The others, especially Game 1 of “ABSOLUTE PERFECTION,” are much shorter.
———–
The only thing in this article that has changed since 2012 is the number of Great Grandkids me and Mrs. OD have. –It’s gone up from 3 to 5!! –Super Bowl VII remains the ultimate chapter for the only team in NFL history to complete a PERFECT SEASON!! –Eat it; Breath it; Feel it!! – – The PERFECT SEASON IS OURS’ TO ENJOY!! –My thanks to all of you!
OD, I was just wondering because I read your entire series. I’m not the type to keep revisiting the past. I don’t even get into the old highlights like I once did even though I did just watch some highlights of past Super Bowls and caught the Dolphins vs. Redskins and Dolphins vs. Vikings. I’m more of a NOW guy as I age. 🙂
No disrespect to you, that’s just me. I agree with Ken and others, you should have these published even if turned into online PDFs.

D, you know how FA goes. Teams don’t have to re-sign or franchise now, nothing is set in stone at this time. This is the normal rush to get things moving for those of us fans who’s teams are not playing on Sunday.
I’m testing a few things with the sign in so if you notice something change, it’s just me!
Change? It this like pupa-cocoon? Will you become a nice butterfly?
JUST TRIED TO go to the old site but found out it is down.
Tim,
I’m not going to argue who could be the better “pure passer”, as I haven’t the inclination. I think that the only thing that can/will keep Cam from being the more complete qb is the space between his ears. Son would be better to speak on Newton; he and I have had disagreements about him in the past, as I don’t like him because of his need to be demonstrative.
Dammit ffr is gonna kill me.. forgot to close with an .
Italics symbol is supposed to be where the . Is.
Everyone has an opinion. I think Newton can be a very good QB and has battled through some bad ankle injuries, but I also don’t see the progression in his game that I expected.
Absolutely right. And I admit, although I don’t like cam, I am not the biggest Tanneshill, either (see what I did there?).
OD – It’s probably temporarily down. The server goes down occasionally, which in turn makes the site go down with it. It will probably be up soon.
D, we’ve seen Landry on returns where he just handles the balls with ease if it’s off the mark and grabs it with one hand and gets moving. He’s a natural. I do think he could become a Hines Ward type player. Self-motivated, fiery, tough, great hands, good routes, good blocker, reliable with anything you ask him to do.
Try, I’m not a Tannehill homer. I’ve taken the wait and see approach and he’s gotten better every year.
2012 12/13 TD/INT
2013 24/17 TD/INT
2012 27/12 TD/INT
That’s what I look at.
All good indicators. More to being a qb than that, though. I’m not there with him. I would not be surprised if he has plateaued, to be honest. Which is fine if you can improve the team around him. Which leads back to managementbcoaching and executive leadership, for which I have stated my opinion on many times.
You don’t have to have the best QB on the planet to win. All this rating criteria isn’t the answer. Putting the ball in the endzone which Tannehill himself keeps focusing on specifically red zone is the key. Also 4th quarter scoring. But then you have that phrase ‘complementary football’ meaning all phases come together. That’s when you win. Not relying on one guy or group.
I think I agree with that- I think I kinda implied that, actually.
LOL @ Tanneshill. Well done.

Here’s one of my highest scores yet.
Your score is: 5472 (GRADE: A-)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 14: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington (A)
Round 2 Pick 15: Paul Dawson, OLB, TCU (A-)
Round 3 Pick 14: Justin Hardy, WR, East Carolina (A)
Round 4 Pick 15: Chris Hackett, FS, TCU (B+)
Round 5 Pick 14: David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa (A-)
Round 6 Pick 15: Tyler Varga, FB, Yale (A)
Round 7 Pick 15: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami (Fla.) (A)
No way in hell Dorsett is there in the 7th round, but the rest is possible.
I like Varga in the late RD’s. We shouldn’t have to spend a high pick on a RB.
Damn
