GAME 8: NOV. 5, 1972 – MIAMI at BUFFALO
Two weeks earlier, the Miami Dolphins narrowly escaped the historic Orange Bowl with a 24-23 win over the Buffalo Bills. As they prepared for the rematch head coach Don Shula asked offensive coordinator Howard Schnellenberger, 
“What do we do best against Buffalo?” “That’s easy. The thing we do best is running the football.” said Schnellenberger. “Then THAT’s what we’re going to do,” said the Don of Miami. Together, the two coaches developed a strategy they originally sprang on the Houston Oilers in week #2; the “3-Back Attack.” A few new wrinkles were added to the mix. But the philosophy was “We’re going to run the ball until forced to do something else.”
One of the three backs, Eugene (Mercury) Morris, had his own private rivalry with Bills’ star back O. J. Simpson. “Back in college, O. J. beat me out two years in a row for the NCAA rushing title,” said Morris. “Simpson always seems to beat me out. When we both turned pro, he was an instant starter; I was on the second team.” Morris continued, “O.J.’s always in the limelight. But, today, things will be different. My team, and my performance, will grab the headlines.” Morris’ prophecy came true.
On Miami’s second play, Mercury Morris swept around right end and ran 33 yards down to the Bills’ 20. Yepremian’s 33-yard field goal gave the Dolphins a quick 3-0 lead. Buffalo responded. A 13-yard touchdown pass, Dennis Shaw to Randy Jackson, put the Bills ahead 6-3 after a missed PAT. Now was the time to put the “3-Back Attack” into high gear. On the next drive, Jim Kiick and Larry Csonka combined for four carries for 25 yards. Then Morrall connected with tight end Jim Mandich for 13 yards to the Buffalo 22. Next, Morrall handed-off to Morris on a play designed to go off right tackle. The hole was jammed, so Morris sprinted outside and burst to the 10 where the Bills’ Robert James and Maurice Tyler were waiting for him. Morris juked James, bounced-off Tyler, and sped into the end zone for a 10-6 Miami advantage!
A pair of Yepremian field goals, set-up by the “3-Back Attack,” gave the Fins a 16-6 lead. But Buffalo’s Tony Green intercepted Morrall and returned it for a touchdown, narrowing the gap to 16-13 at halftime. The huge Buffalo crowd roared its approval! Would there be another heart-stopping finish to a Dolphins-Bills game? Would this be the end of The Perfect Season?

Some interesting stuff about Howard Schnellenberger—–It might be interesting to look up why he left UM after winning the national championship.

@AlbertBreer: Just got an unsolicited text from an exec: “Perriman ran really, really, really fast.” That’s Breshad, WR from UCF. Scouts buzzing on him.
The first time I read this I read unsolicted sext from an ex
@UCF Pro Day
Breshad Perriman “ran” the 40 in 4.25 seconds. It was basically a broad jump from the starting line to the finish line. No need to worry about press coverage, he’ll leap past the competition. #1stPickInTheDraft
Finally someone gets it👍

I also highly doubt we take DGB. I think it’s very unlikely. Only way I can see it happening is if one or more guys (maybe Tannenbaum and someone else) really like DGB, and all of the other highly rated WR’s are off the board.
I dunno man, you have to weigh it out and i think there is more chance of it thn you think. I dont think he would be a primary choice, i mean in case of DGB vs Parker, Cooper, or White, i think we and most other teams would select them over DGB. I do think though if they really feel we need a receiver at 14, they would select him if all other options were off the board. We will know for sure if they bring him in for a private workout, which i think would be more like an extended interview tryng to figure out where he is maturity wise. People fuck up, especially when they are young kids in college, our coaches know this and i think it would be more about where he is NOW vs where he WAS then.
“Then” wasn’t all that long ago. He’s been plagued by issues. Not just one, although the most recent involves the single biggest NFL hotbutton issue right now.

Thanks, Gigi. My friend Jim who’s been fighting brain cancer for over 5 years passed away yesterday. He was 49.
———————————————
Way too young to be dying. Im very sorry for your loss Tim, even more so for his family, especially kids if he had them. Beyond tragic.
Thank you.
He has a daughter who’s 5. He got the cancer when his wife was pregnant. He never really got to enjoy her the way he should have. That’s one of the things that makes it even sadder.
sorry to hear about your loss of a friend.
Thank you.

I have a feeling DGB might not even be on our board period. Of course anything is possible, but my guess is we won’t be drafting him.
Ditto.
if we do though, I’ll be excited about his on-field potential, but Cecil Collins comes to mind for me…
Oh nooooooooooooo! Not the Diesel!!! lol
Ouch
“I just wanted to take a look”
BTW, no fair comparing the two, I just meant in terms of a high risk/high reward player he reminded me of Cecil. Different infractions, different guys.

Looks pretty good through the 3rd round. Don’t know the others so well…
Woah! Is it true that WR Breshad Perriman ran so fast he actually created 1.21 gigawatts and ended up in 1955?!!
Washington (CNN)The U.S. military has charged Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with one count each of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, officials announced Wednesday afternoon.
Mike E, you got a 2nd and a 3rd to trade back 4 spots? No way.
Dollar to donuts that’s chart value. It cost a lot to move up in the first even just a few spots. Anything can and does happen on draft day. I would probably do it for just the second and maybe a 4th or 5th though…
I’ve never seen that kind of value for a trade like that. It would be almost impossible for a team to make that trade because it means someone fell and the team trading up really feels he’s special, that it would seem the team at #14 would just take that player or a team closer would look to trade up one or two spots. The only way it happens is if a team really overrates a prospect and does a stupid trade.
I think it’s absurd to trade a 2nd and a 3rd to go from 18 to 14.
He gave up a 4th and move down 4 slots to pick up the 3rd rounder
So that is not so crazy
He had a 4th.
Wow, dumb on so many levels.

Those drafts are kind of just for fun. I don’t think anything is super realistic about them, or especially unrealistic either.
I think the trades are overvalued, but otherwise, when picking straight up, it’s not off the wall.
I’ve seen some extremely unrealistic drafts posted here. Trade downs for four 2nds, 3rds, and 4ths etc. LOL
That’s what I mean, the trades can get silly, but the straight up drafts are as realistic as anything else out there.

Your penmanship was questionable
I know Suh is the top in comparison to other DT’s…my comment on Tannehill was not based on writers awards. But what Tanehill has meant to his team. He’s accomplished a lot here, he’s broke a rookie record in his 4th game that bested Marino and he’s gotten better ever year stat wise, despite being behind the NFL’s worse OL.
I know stats don’t mean much @ Suh’s position cause he’s a block eater, but statistically, his best year was his rookie year. I hope he continues to do the dirty work for us and get us the ball back more often so Tanny can really show what he’s capable of. SO THERE! 😉
Ryan is on the upswing, Suh is a monster, & Miko has crabs. I think I covered it😄
Miko has crabs and diarrhea of the mouth
Suh’s best year was lasr
he was dominant
The most important stat is that the Lions were #1 againstt he run
He has been HOF caliber every year of his career
and what gets a DT is in consitency more than anything else
I concur w/you counselor!
No signs before, none at all. This from a reporter that was following him in 2013 as part of an “in-depth interview” thing.
———————————–
I looked out the front window of the bar and saw Hernandez urinating on a running taxi cab, with the driver yelling at him. All I could think was, Great, Hernandez is going to get in trouble, and I’m going to have to write about this nonsense. I asked a confidant of his if he might want to go get his friend. “He won’t listen to me so why don’t you go get him?”
For some reason I didn’t think this to be unreasonable. I went outside, walked up to Hernandez and suggested he should probably use the restroom inside unless he wanted to get arrested. No response. Then I lightly touched his elbow to guide him back into the bar and said, “Aaron, come on. This is stupid.” At that point Hernandez whipped around, got in my face, unleashed a stream of expletives and concluded, “I’m not a child! You’re not my dad!”
GDP: If I did not know any better I would think you are smoking this wacky tobaccy green stuff from here in Cali! 😛
FYI: The stuff out here is 1,000 x better than in Florida !!
He is smoking Ryan Tannibis
LMAO
LOL, good one.
LOL @ Stanger and Piggy. Penmanship is one thing I would fail on, especially if I had to write in script, or cursive as it’s properly known.
I basically forgot how to write cursive. I still don’t really know how I write my signature. LOL
My point is. I rather have a top QB than a top DT if you know what I mean. QB’s are more integral to winning the game because they touch the ball on every offensive snap.
The best scenario is having both a top 10 QB & top 10 DT. We’re close to having both….so that’s why I said the wins should start coming Gigi. We’ve been over 13 yrs & 17 QB’s since we last were a winning team without Don & Dan.
When we get a top qb, please let me know.
The Washington rumor about perhaps selecting a QB with pick 5 i think is mostly to drive up the value of their pick. Reason i say this is that i heard a couple of weeks ago they were looking to trade the pick to recoup some of the lost picks or draw out suitors for a player for picks trade. Tenn is doing a imilar thing by spreading rumors about not being satisfied with Mettenberger. Both are believable, but given the shopping the pick preceded the “we might take a QB” rumors, im leaning towards it being a trade bait tactic.
Tim,
I ran the numbers and actually it’s not even close to chart value. I think it’s unrealistic as well, though I think your logic has a flaw in it. Just because a team falls in love with a player doesn’t mean the team trading back would take that player instead. If some team fell in love with a player and gave a sweetheart offer, it’s not like the GM all of the sudden sees something he didn’t see before, he takes the sweetheart offer and gets the better of the trade.
Still though, the chart value of that trade is that the 2nd rounder alone would get it done..and then some, so I agree, it’s unrealistic.
My point was to make that trade you have to see something very special in the player and if that’s the case, they likely wouldn’t be the only team who sees that.
I think some are discounting the process. Philbin doesn’t like certain character traits, he wants guys o be hard working stand up people. It doesn’t however mean he misses the point that people do stupid shit sometimes and they can get wake-up calls that get their lives back in order. I dont think DGB offers the security that some of the players do in that respect, he comes with a reason to investigate him further, but i think that’s exactly what they will do and then they will make their decision off of that, not ignore him as a possibility all together just because he has a past.Half of these kids have pasts if ya dig deep enough, and i bet you a bunch are going to surface in the next month. Im not pushing for DGB, i have pretty much 4 other WR’s rated higher than him as far as who i would take for Phins, but i definitely think the talent is there and there is more credit to be given to the possibility we would select him at 14.
GDP SAYS “The wins should start coming, Gigi.” –Pray tell where have I heard those words before?? –Now we DO have an opportunity to plug our gaping holes in the O-Line (2 holes at guard), Linebacker (at least 1 hole), defensive back (ditto), fullback (someone who can convert 3rd and 2) and a tall, dominant WR who’s a red zone specialist. Some may say our biggest need is A HEAD COACH, but don’t go there b/c Ross loves Philbin. Well, even I can’t drink enough KOOL-Aid to believe the upcoming draft will supply instant upgrades at those positions of need. –And there’s sure as hell no improvement coming this season at head coach. So, yeah, a winning season and a playoff victory are REAL LIKELY, RIGHT?? How could ANYONE have any doubts??
————-
Patience, Old Dolfan, patience. Every franchise has a bad decade or two. Just be patient and everything will be OK.
ALL those positions of need.
Sooo why renew your tickets, just watch on TV like the rest of us poor slobs 😉
Alternative, don’t be patient, stamp your feet, get really angry.
Both alternatives achieve the same thing, so it’s really about personal preference.
That’s right, John. Some are OK with mediocrity. Some are not. –It’s great to live in a country where you can express yourself as you see fit.
Some think how they react to mediocrity from a professional team will actually change it, some know better it.
Some root for their team to be superbowl champions every single season even while others accuse them of “being ok with mediocrity”. Some think it’s cool to go around calling people “liars” at every opportunity too.
Sure is a great country that allows me to point out these things out.
Been looking at alot of WR film….I don’t think any of the WR at the top are worth trading up for (just sit and wait at 14 if WR is the target or trade back is what i mean).
Coates & Perriman both look like they have the strongest core strength of the WR in the top 15 WR discussion.
Baylor’s Antwan Goodley is interesting.
UGA’s Chris Conley is worth a look as a developmental guy just on sheer physical abilities (as with Smelter of GT).
I almost forgot about Cal WR Chris Harper who played with a bum QB (Jahn, what you think of him? He can really go up and get it at a high point though he’s light by NFL standards).
OD,
I certainly understand your frustration. I too came from the Perfect season era, that and the many Shula/Marino years have totally made us all spoiled lil brats. I must admit, I know I’m one.
The Browns fans, buddies of mine, are still so loyal, die hard, and happy to beat the Steelers, Ravens, or Bengals at least once a year or achieve a 8-8 record and they’re on cloud 9.
It’s become more just a ra ra entertainment thing in the modern FA era.
Back in the pre-FA era you could identify with your team more cause players were usually there for their entire career, so it became like family.
Now it’s all about selling high priced seats, huge advertising & merchandising, and Corporations entertaining clients or top level employees with blocks of prime tickets.
On top of that, the rules keep changing and refs skew games in order to keep that entertainment value/rating high. Very few people want to sit 3+ hours and watch a 9-6 defensive battle these days.
The integrity of the true game from days gone by are definitely GONE!

what is going to be interesting is entertainment expenses.
I can’t believe Zayn quit. What will all the 10 to 16 year old girls do?
they will have to start listening to real music
Al, good post, I like most of those WR’s you mentioned, but as you know I’ve been really pushing the other GT WR Waller.
OD, fans have nothing to do with how well their teams do. If they did, every fan would have a winning team. LOL

Tim,
I’m really sorry you lost your friend. I hope that he is in a better place right now.
Thanks, man. Me too.
I read up the page where you said he had a 5 year old daughter. That is just tragic. My heart goes out for his family.

I like that draft. nicely done.
First, they bring back “24” for a short season. Now, they are bringing back “The X Files” for a six episode arc. Neither are shows I ever really got into. However, if they’d do something similar with “Firefly”, I might arrange to watch that.. Browncoats- Unite!
Brian, it’s heartbreaking on so many levels.
why don’t you and your friends help the child during her lifetime. Birthdays, school projects, another words a life choice. My wife did this for walmart employee that was killed and he left behind a daughter. This kid will never go without with the funds from walmart foundation. My wife loves doing it and she says their is no more satisfaction than the time she spends with this kid and her mother . A group of you guys can make a major difference.
Yikes Crowder goes after Chris McCain over his tweet on Darren Sharper’s sentence. Rightly so.

Crowder owned his ass!
I struggle with this because I can’t stand Crowder. Crowder talks over everyone, and is notorious for saying stupid shit. So now he’s going to take McCain to task for a tweet?
This is a good lesson in (why not to use) twitter. He now has to defend himself from looking like he was defending a rapist and deal with pricks like Crowder when it would’ve been so easy to not say anything at all. Social media encourages social mistakes. Him making that tweet was case in point.
Anyone see this article about Jimmy Graham, he was almost a Fin

Yeah, I posted last night. His contract would have been a tough one to take on.
Yes, proud of the Phins taking shots at the top players.
Seems like they are finally getting that two good players don’t equal one great one.
Tim,
An Irish wake starts with a lot of “keening” which is wailing and mourning, but it quickly moves on to the party portion and it’s not a time for tears, it’s a time for celebrating the life of the deceased. I wish you +vibes while you go through this period of mourning, but I also wish you great memories and many smiles when you get to the point you’re ready to celebrate his life.
Cheers man +++++vibes.
My wife’s family is Irish. They basically just get right to the alcohol and skip all the wailing nowadays.
What’s up FUers? Just get me to the draft. Perriman blowing things up to date. I wonder if it makes a difference on the top 3 or 4 WRs in the draft. If that time was legit he just might be a 1st round talent and perhaps somebody like Devante Parker lands in our lap at 14.
I don’t know if that’s enough to push him into top 15 status, but if it were to drop one of the other top 3 guys to us, it’d be great. I think it’s more likely he goes in the first round now, but a one off 40 time seems like it shouldn’t be enough to change his fate all that much.
4.25 is pretty rarefied air. Not many guys go that fast. If Al Davis were still alive I think we know who would be going at no. 4.
BTW I agree that it is unlikely to change the top 3 status but I wouldn’t mind if it did. I would love for either White, Cooper or Parker to fall to us.
Very fair point on Al Davis.
This will make you feel better about the Fins!

Joking right? 😉
I can watch cheerleaders anytime, but we only get to see Tanny & the Phins with a chance to win games 16x a year.
Ahem
They aren’t plying at the moment!
Ken, I’d be tempted to take Perriman over Parker. I think Parker is close to his ceiling, and Perriman still will develop quite a bit more….IMO.
I like Parker more. His size and catch radius is awesome and he is plenty fast. I think he is going be a stud.
I actually think Parker has a high ceiling
and has a lot of things he needs to work on
To me between Perriman and Parker it’s not even close
Parker by a mile
But Perriman may have moved himself ahead of Parker in the eyes of many scouts I’m pretty sure he moved ahead if Strong
I think your guy DGB and Perriman may bust up the whole order of he WRs in the draft
DGB and Perriman could easily push some other quality prospects down
I’m licking my chops at the prospect of drafting strong in the 2nd round
I would love for nothing more if Perriman or DGP push a Parker or Cooper down to us
Perriman certainly helped himself today but I still think there is a bust factor with him. Smaller school, inconsistent hands but ceiling is high on the kid. I think he is my no. 5 WR in the draft. I would take in this order: Cooper, White, Parker and Strong before I take Perriman. But top of the draft for WR is looking real good right now.
Dropsies are my pet peeve with receivers
I have little tolerance for drops
Cheers everyone. My thoughts are with ya Tim. Cheers to Jim when I tip my beer tonight!

That is stupid

What’s up Piggy?
What’s up Ken!
Work is what’s up. New job is busy as hell. Cuts into my blog time.
UCF has impeccable facilities. They most likely ran in the indoor practice facility today. Between the indoor facility, the outdoor facilities, or even the stadium Perriman had a great surface to run on.
Now all of a sudden he’s in the conversation, lol, told you all along he was big and fast. Didn’t think he’d go that fast but he certainly always pulled away from anyone who was unfortunate enough to be behind him. And he’ll go make the tough yards over the middle too.
I wonder if J-ville says screw it and spends another 3rd pick (1st round) on a UCF’er to pair with Blake. Interesting.
I guess blake is familiar enough with him to make it worth while
Might be a good idea
I hope Perriman pushes another WR down
Watch DGB and Perriman be the first 2 WRs off the board. I would be screaming woo hoo at the TV if that happens.
Your guy really helped himself today. I said above if Al Davis were alive he would be the no. 4 pick.
Sharper didn’t get life right?
9 years is what he got. Too light imo.

That is STUPID in more ways than I care to think about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His bread and butter – the Go route – 0% drop rate.
What’s Wallace’s?
Wallace thinks go route means “go to the lockeroom early”
LOL @ Piggy and go to the locker room early.
So if a team drafts him don’t use him for the quick out or the in route
But do use him for the go route
That QB struggled throwing inside as many first year players do. That stat shows it.
Guys, don’t you think if Perriman & DGB push the other big WR’s down, that maybe they are better receivers??? Think about it, why be all excited about Strong then in the 2nd?…lol
But regardless, I think this is another deep WR class, should be something for most teams and the type of system they run or the type of body/speed they need.
Not necessarily. Certain teams and GMs fall in love with the measureables which is why guys like Darrius Heyward Bey get drafted really high but clearly was not the best WR in that draft.
Measurables are certainly a 1/3 of the process.
But many GMs fall in love with them and you see the Darrius Heyward Bey’s and Mike Mamula’s of this world get drafted. So the 1/3 sometimes gets more weight than that.
By that reasoning Todd Blackledge was a better QB than Dan Marino.
Ken he got 9 in CA & 20 in LA, to run concurrently.
Ah, I only heard the 9 but 20 sounds more like the appropriate sentence.
I think we get ourselves so boxed in on here sometimes. It’s about talent in the first round if that meets need then fine but you have to get the best players in round one. Perriman, DGB, Gurley (assuming full recovery) are amazing athletes, the pros won’t miss that. And if you don’t think we take a DE watch Fowler slide a little, we’d pounce or watch Beasley make it to 14 – snag… yeah a lot will happen and it will be much different than what the FU scripted. It always is.
True, we can only watch the internet & tv….scouts & GM’s have live views, interviews, etc etc.
Plus they get lots of inside type info from friends in the biz, i.e. other coaches etc.
If Fowler or Beasley slide to 14 I can see us taking one of them. By all mocks I have seen they are both gone in the top 10. 5 DEs are consistently mocked in the top 10. I don’t see them there at 14.
I’m saying if Fowler slides past 5 someone, maybe us, will pounce up to get him. Not that the stej would trade with us but my point is Fowler will go super early or he becomes a steal.
Son:
I don’t see us trading up for a DE. I can see it at WR and I can see us taking a DE if one fell to 14 which I don’t think will happen.

I’m thinking push quality down to the 2nd round
If we there are 6th first round caliber WRs
There is a good chance 2 are selected in the 2nd round
And you don’t kill your chance of landing a 1at round graded WR by trading back
And for what it’s worth
I have always though DGB could be the 1st WR off the board
I just think he might be completely off our board
Too much off the field risk for DGB to be the no. 1 WR drafted imo. Talent yes but with his domestic violence issues and the fact that it is a hot button issue for the league right now, I would be surprised if he is taken that early. My prediction, no. 32 to the Pats. It’s the kind of move that everyone fawns all over Bellicheck for.
Purportedly
Gregory is dripping and is the pass rusher most likely to drop
Well maybe if he wasn’t dripping some team might be more likely to draft him higher. LOL.
I still think Cooper is our target and we’re willing to move up to get him. JMO
Yessssss. I am big fan of Amare Cooper. Most complete and polished WR of the draft. May not have the upside of White but I think he can play at a high level from day 1.
Some Perriman highlights
I admit, at least in the highlights, he catches The ball better than my first impression
How is he so wide open though
I have to think the level of completion is a bit questionable
Speed baby, I told you he runs really good.
Good discussion gents…I gots to go.
Peace GDP.
Cooper will make an impact as a rookie
He is probably the most nfl ready WR
Exactly.
Man oh Man’
Walker didn’t like that tweet from McCain!

F U Chris McCain. F’ME Dolphins Fans no longer support you
I am sure that has McCain reconsidering his belief system in life.
Lol

Happy to be in Treasure Island Fl for 10 days.
Good for your Bookman.
Sounds awesome!
Welcome to Fla Bookman. That’s by St. Pete right?
Son
Wedge may have to check out Perriman
Is it raw speed or is he setting up the DB to guess wrong (piggy shrugs)
I know speed kills
But the later is usually more effective in the NFL IMO
Some of those DBs were like 5 yards back
They may have guessed wrong
And some times that is bc the WR made them guess wrong
No because the film on him would tell any D to not let him get behind you. You can’t jump routes when he’ll beat you deep. He’s fluid with that short area quickness to get a move on a guy.
Alright guys I have to be in court early tomorrow. I am out. Peace to you all.
Thanks, Jahn. The services are Saturday and a friend of ours’ band is playing that night at one of our old stomping grounds. He was actually a drummer in a band I was in many moons ago. We’re trying to get a bunch of us there after the services.
My group of friends were all about getting a nice buzz and laughing, and that’s what we’ll do. We have hundreds of stories over the years that we’ll reminisce about. We will celebrate our time with Jim and try to grieve in a positive way. Part of the problem for us is he’s the first to go from our big group so it’s new to us and very difficult.
I just lost my uncle who I was very close to so the feeling of mortality is still very real to me and I personally am trying to come to grips with life and what it’s all about.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words.
Peace Tim. I hope you weather these storms alright you are a good man. Peace to Jim and to his family.
Son,
Yes, St Pete Beach
Nice area, enjoy yourself
I would not be surprised if we traded up for Aamri Cooper. I think he’s Landry ready but more gifted in size and speed. He would make us better right away. You want a jolt of now, he’s even better than Keenan Allen out of the gate.
4.15 40 for Perriman? That was the unofficial time, they said it was 4.22. He doesn’t look that fast.
I heard he ran to Saturn and back and still had time to get a sandwich. Crazy right? LOL
Tim,
I’m just catching up and was saddened to see that you lost a friend. A few years ago, I went through losing a friend I’d grown up with from birth through high school. I had a huge crush on her, and she was actually the first girl to kiss me…on a school bus in, like, 5th grade. She was also the first to pass from our class…at 44.
The morning I found out about it, I was sitting in a staff meeting at work. In a daze, I found myself getting up and going out into the hallway…and crying for 5 minutes. Her death hit me harder than I could’ve imagined. It was a changing point in the lives of many of her friends, as we came to find out as we reminisced. The unfairness, the mortality, the realness of death…as if we had all been slapped in the face by life and didn’t much like it.
Later, we were all able to smile…and remember her laugh…how she always seemed to be happy….a woman everyone liked. A friend.
Really well said, bro. Love is a strong thing. Sometimes we forget how to use it.
I think we’re going for it this year. Signed Suh and next is Tannehill. Don’t pay a 2016 1st round pick.
The #14 and next years #1 to go up up and get Cooper. He reminds me of Boldin and Wayne combined. He’s a bigger and faster version of Landry. He would make us very difficult to defend.
Landry, Cameron/Sims, Stills, Cooper, and Miller/Williams could be a really good offense.
When you get right down to it, what is the pick, the FA or the player acquired through the draft? What does he do for us? Cooper is the perfect fit for what we’re running in Miami.
I know some are saying WTF, Tim, but do you want to win or keep developing?
I have a gut feeling Cooper will be good wherever he goes.
