Q – Hey Mike E: Welcome to the 50th anniversary season of Your Miami Dolphins !!!
I love the way the FO went about their business this off season, adding the NDominant One , DE-Tooling the WR position , and the Nuggetts of LB they found as UDFA..
My question is regarding WR.. Kenny Stills has been quiet, and I believe hamstrung in PS.. I have read reports of Matthews passing him in the pecking order.. do you see him being a strong contributor this season, or a small time player ??
Tanx.
I’d be surprised if Kenny Stills isn’t a big part of our offense, at least as far as being on the field a lot. I don’t think in our offense we need to rely on any one player, but Stills should be starting, and getting opportunities. I believe that he and Greg Jennings, and Jarvis Landry will be on the field a lot in 3 and 4 WR sets. It will be a while before Devante Parker hits his stride here and is ready to steal a lot of reps from anyone, and depending on how Jennings and Stills play, Parker may never seriously eat into either of their reps if they’re both playing well.
There is no rush to get Parker on the field, unless the offense, particularly Jennings and/or Stills just aren’t getting it done, and like you mentioned, I think the veteran Rishard Matthews would get more reps early if that happened. The one thing Matthews has in his back pocket, is the fact that QB Ryan Tannehill likes him. That means a lot, and will definitely keep him him on the roster as long as he remains in Tannehill’s favor.

Q – Toughest Q I can think of — Which WR on this team gets the most fantasy points this year?
That’s the combination of most yards and TDs (standard league — six points per TD and one point for every 10 yards).
stanger
I’d have to say that it will be Jarvis Landry. I think he’s going to see a lot of touches as he always seems to find a way to get open, and he’s a very sure handed receiver. I also think he’s the one constant in the lineup, whereas the other guys will be in and out, specifically if/when Parker is healthy and ready to go, he may sub in occasionally for both Stills and Jennings.
If Parker wasn’t injured and had a full training camp, my answer may have been different, but I expect another big year from Landry. He and Tanny have a good chemistry, and Landry is a sure handed 3rd down target who always fights for extra yards, and will convert those 3rd downs to first down. I think there’s an outside chance that Jennings does it, maybe he has more in the tank than most people think. He’s a savvy vet who’s always been a precise route runner and has always possessed great hands, so he’d be my second choice.

Q -Hey Axe Mike,
What rookies do you see making an immediate impact, playing the most, and why, including those on Special Teams & the UDFA’s.
Thanks,
GetterDone Phins!
I’ll go in order of which players I see making the most impact. If it’s true, that Jamil Douglas will be the starting RG, that certainly puts him in a good position to make an impact. It remains to be seen as to whether he stays there, and earns his playing time, but for now, he appears to have a leg up on 2nd year man Billy Turner.
It’s funny, if you had asked me this question right after the draft, my answer would have been Jay Ajayi, or Devante Parker. Both have missed substantial practice time, and for a rookie, that’s a bad thing. Both of those players have a chance, more Likely Parker than Ajayi at the moment, because Ajayi has to get healthy and make the roster.
After the surprise hammer fell on Brandon Fields, Matt Dar is also in place to make a big impact. If he can be as good as Fields used to be for the Miami Dolphins, not the Fields of last year, he can be big for our team, and help us win the “Fields” position battle.
On defense, Jordan Phillips will be in the D-line rotation, although he’s behind 2 pretty damn good players, Ndamukong Suh, and Earl Mitchell, so his reps will have to be well earned. Zach Vigil is another guy who I think may make an impact. If Chris McCain doesn’t start balling, I think it’s possible that Kelvin Sheppard starts at MLB, with Misi sliding back into the SLB position. Vigil will be backing up at both MLB and SLB, and if he continues to show well, I think Vigil is a guy we may see on the field a lot, both on ST’s and at LB.
Some of the rookies I hope make the team are CB Tony Lippett and S Cedric Thompson. I think good ol’ Bobby McCain will be on the roster, but Ced and Tony are more on the bubble. I think Lippett could be a real impact player if he really takes to learning his craft as a CB, and may really help us next year.
______________________________________________
from Tim
Q – Who’s your break out player on offense and defense and why?
Also what’s your favorite shoe?
Thanks you!
I think Dion Sims can have a real good season. I expect him to be on the field a lot this year, but I’m not sure if he’ll really have a lot more than the 24 catches he had last season. He may make his impact in-line blocking as a TE, and helping our RB’s get some clear running lanes. Another I think may have a bigger season than some expect is Greg Jennings. He’s a solid vet, and I know most think he’s past his prime, but if needed, I think he can make a nice contribution to our team, although I’m not sure if you would consider it a “breakout” season or not, maybe breaking out of a retirement home, or something like that.
On defense, I’d love to see Jamar Taylor finally break out. Hopefully he can shrug off the injuries, and get down to playing some good CB for us, and finally show us what he’s capable of. That INT against the Falcons was played perfectly, and I hope to see more of those in the regular season.
As far as shoes goes, in my “Saturday Night Fever” days, no Brooklyn guy who went clubbing (dancing) didn’t have a nice pair of Capezios. Those days are over though, and I prefer a good pair of Sperry Topsiders, or an equivalent shoe like that.

from Pigsgerald Oinkustus Bacon
Q – After 3 preseason games what do you think is the biggest weakness on the
Dolphins?
– Pigsgerald
I’d say, as it will be be for many NFL teams, the depth after our starters. Our 2nd and 3rd team players, and especially the guys who will not make the 53 man roster have struggled big time.
But . . .
When we go up against the better defenses, like our division rival Bills and Jets, I do fear how our O-line will fare. We’ve played 2 weak defenses so far, but when we play a team a serious front 7, and Albert isn’t either at 100%, or even in the lineup, and we have Fox or Thomas at LT, and then Thomas at LG (with Fox at LT), maybe Pouncey isn’t 100%, and then rookie Jamil Douglas at RG, and solid 2nd year man Ju’Wuan James at RT, it could get ugly . . . FAST! We haven’t seen the O-line struggle, or even falter really, but i that’s partly due to the level of defensive opponents we’ve faced. If we played STL, or ARZ, or HOU or BUF or NYJ, I think we would have seen more weaknesses on the O-line.
For now though, to answer your question more accurately, I’d say the depth in the secondary has been pretty awful.
______________________________________________

Q – I don’t think CJ Mosely makes the 53 and we go young ( Seems to be the theme ).
What are your thoughts on the DT Spots?
Suh
Mitchell
Phillips
?
??
I’m not sure Wyo. I think there’s a pretty good chance Mosley sticks. I think Mosley makes it over AJ Francis and Deandre Coleman. I think it comes down to how many DT’s we carry. Suh and Mitchell are the starters, with Anthony Johnson and Jordan Phillips as 2nd team. If we carry 4, Mosley is gone, but if we carry 5, I think Mosley is in. I think Anthony Johnson has too much talent to let him go.
______________________________________________
from O Rob
Q – Mike, what are the chances Josh Freeman unseats Matt Moore?
I don’t see that happening Rob. I thought when we first signed Freeman there was a decent chance that it could happen, but watching Freeman in the Preseason games, he’s been pretty awful. Not that Matt Moore has been stellar, but you know what Matt Moore gives you as a Dolphins QB, whereas Freeman doesn’t know the offense as well, and still looks shaky back there. Freeman has completed less that 40% of his passes, though both QB’s have only 1 TD against 2 INT’s.
My best guess Rob is that we go with the known quantity, which is Moore. If Freeman made a little noise in the Preseason, and actually outplayed Moore, I would say he had a shot, but that just hasn’t happened. Freeman may have one more shot, but I think it’s going to be Moore.

PUP is only for players injured in training camp. It’s too late for Ajayi.
Should say before training camp too.
Isn’t there a temporary IR thing now? They can bring one player back so many weeks into the season? Not saying they would want to do that with him or anything, but didn’t they add that last year?
A salty tears falls from Piggy’s eye for Anthony Johnson
1-3 in pre season and Pats have Brady. Doom. LOL.

If Johnson is cut it means we are likely to keep Mosley which I think is a good move. He is a veteran and proven commodity. He can come in and be a good run stuffer especially in a short yardage set.

Dolphins have cut DT Anthony Johnson, leaving AJ Francis and CJ Mosley battling for 1 job unless Dolphins keep both.Francis strong recently.
From Wikipedia…
Starting in 2012, the NFL and the NFLPA reached an agreement allowing one player placed on injured reserve to be brought back to the active roster.[3] Provided that the player was on the final 53-man preseason roster (A rule exempted for the 2012 season), and that the injury is deemed to keep this player unable to practice or play football for an estimated six weeks, the player may be allowed to practice after Week 6, and be activated to play after Week 8.[4]
Teams may also place a player on injured reserve with a minor injury designation, but the team must release the player once he is healthy.[5]
Herd
Each team is allowed only 1 player to designate on the IR to return list. They will be eligible to return after the 6th game.
You’re too quick!
James Davidson @J_davidson46 16m16 minutes ago
The Miami Dolphins have released me. Looks like they intend on signing me to practice squad this weekend.
So let’s get a quick summary on the cuts (source):
OT Donald Hawkins (Player’s twitter account)
OG Mike Liedtke (Armando Salguero via Liedtke’s agent twitter account).
LB James Davidson (Player’s twitter account)
DT Anthony Johnson (Drew Rosenhaus via Joe Rose radio show)
——
Other news coming over Twitter is that Jay Ajayi suffered a fractured rib last night
I always liked Francis. I would be okay with him making the team.
I like Johnson’s ceiling better but AJ Francis has worked hard to where he’s gotten and he’s improved. You got to root for players like that 🙂
Wyo,
Not sure Hawkins is coming back….
He tweeted 2 hours ago “Bye Bye Miami :)”
LOL
Interesting discussion on RG III this a.m. on NFL radio. If medically cleared he is likely to be cut. So who picks him up?
I don;t know how they can cut him
that is a big cap hit
Yea I saw Twitter blowing up with “If RG3 is cut this weekend” and I’m like, ‘wow’.
I believe Dallas is probably the best place for him or perhaps even somewhere like KC or NOLA. Brees is getting up there in age. At this point, if I’m RG3’s agent, I’m gravitating to the QB guru’s of this league that are pass game guys.
Btw, maybe Jahn can chime in but how impressive has Hundley looked so far as a rookie QB coming in without any pressure? I know it’s only preseason but i’ve been impressed.
GB is going to be blessed with yet another guy it seems.
Not sure any team would pick him up (trade) at the salary he was making. If he’s cut though, someone may take a chance.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The most-hyped battle for the third string quarterback job, perhaps in NFL history, reached its climax Thursday night when Matt Barkley and Tim Tebow alternated quarters in the preseason finale, bringing interest to an otherwise uninteresting game.
——-
LOL @ opening line.
Ah man, I love it. I hope Chip keeps Tebow only to rile up the haters for another season of agony.
Time to start picking game scores. Glorious!
Howie,
Dolphins – 30
Skins – 13
Btw, watching last night’s preseason finale made me feel sad a bit for Josh Freeman lol.
He seems to have the same decision making process from his best years but his mechanics have gotten so bad that he can’t sling it properly with any kind of touch (example was that throw to the TE he missed on late in the 4th that floated into the DB chest for an INT).
I guess that’s the kind of uncertainty the NFL was looking for
Don;t forget to vote on the poll if you particpated int he live chat last night
we want your thoughts

If they keep him and he plays some how or another and gets hurt they will be on the hook for 16 million next year. They can’t keep him.
I heard that too
but they are still getting hit with a big $ hot by cutting him
What I had heard was that b/c of his contract
they will keep him and not play him another down….WTF Redskins!!!
Its a damned if you do and damned if you don’t. You are basically keeping him on the roster and essentially losing a roster spot on one of your 53 if you keep him. That’s why many feel they have to let him go and eat the cap hit because you lose 1 player that you could otherwise use and or develop.

___________________________________________
He has too much talent for some one not to take a chance on him. If Ryan Lindley can be on an NFL roster there has to be some room for RG III. My best guess is Cardinal. Arians is a great QB coach, Palmer is the incumbent but will have a short shelf life and they need depth at the position.
I agree Ken – I should have said someone would pick him up, not may.
Al:
Hundley is one of those type of QBs that I like if they had time to develop and didn’t have to play right away. He has the physical tools but needs to refine his game. He seems to have landed in a great spot for that and can develop into at a minimum a carer backup or possible trade commodity with a chance to start down the road.
I was always intrigued by his play at UCLA. Inconsistent there but he showed he can make some if not all of the type of throws the pros requires. What I like about him is that in a Rodgers-esque kind of way, is that he can adjust his upper body without having his feet under him to make throws when a guy is getting open (I can’t stand it when a QB has to set his feet first to throw when its clear that any kind of throw will make it to a wide open WR).
Tracking the 22 cuts:

You damn right those are expected
Freeman and Bethel-Thompson combine to suck more than bukkakke
LOL.
al,
i think josh did enough last night to make a team some where
I didn;t see the game last night
but I read the box score
We ran for over 180 yards
and our 2 QBs (freeman and BT) each threw 2 Ints
WTF is that. How bad are those two???
I’m surprised they weren’t cut during the game
I think the team thinks they don’t even need to issue a formal press release that they’ve cut. That’s how bad they are LOL
They are both done and we are likely only going to keep Moore and pick up some cut down QB to go on to the practice squad. You can’t turn over the ball like that and expect to win in this league.
Ken,
AZ would be another good spot I guess.
I’d be intrigued to see what Sean Payton could do with him; what RG3 can learn from someone like Brees.
Also, Andy Reid has always worked well with QB in general which is why I mentioned KC.
Dallas inevitably is always in the mix because of how obsessed Jerry Jones is with QB position; his marketing potential there; RG3’s Texas roots.
I guess Houston is another potential stopping ground given Bill O’brien being an offensive minded guy.
All good possibilities.

Haven;t given it much thought yet
Our QBs threw 38 passes last night and were intercepted 4 times
that’s more than 10%
Tanny threw 41 with 0 interceptions
just to give some perspective
Yeah but Tanny Sucks .. 🙂
Am I missing something
Why do guys like Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford have higher QB ratings than Tanny
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/stats/playersort/nfl/year-2015-season-pre-category-passing
I know Bradford had a game where he was 10 for 10 with 3 TDS.
Jay Ajayi is a tough decision for sure.
Not sure you can justify keeping an injured rookie RB over another positional player
Ajayi won’t be part of the RB rotation during games; does not have a season ending type injury (cracked rib is a 4-6 week type injury) but he still may get designated there. Ideally, I’d like to see him be placed on the IR list but not sure what the rules are there.
He can be put on the 6 week IR, but we can only designate 1 player. I can’t think of any other player we’d need to do that with at the moment.
Philbin looking at the cut list. LOL
Piggy,
This guy looked good last night 🙂
Another fall from grace, wow.

49ers cut free agent pickup Dockett
San Francisco signed DT Darnell Dockett to a two-year, $7.25M contract (no guaranteed money) this offseason, but the team cut him today, according to ESPN sources and multiple reports. Dockett had 40.5 sacks and made three Pro Browls in 10 years with the Cardinals.
Al
Yes and no on the RB’s. I think Ajayi has talent, and I think he could help us. He’s a good receiver out of the backfield, and he can run inside and outside the tackles. I think he and Miller make a good tandem.
Tim / Mike E,
A strange thing happened last night in the Nats game but I’ll let Bryce Harper’s fantasy news explain:
Harper scored four runs and an RBI despite not registering a hit in Thursday’s lopsided victory over the Braves.
Harper was pulled in the sixth inning after walking four times, officially ending his night without an actual at-bat. Even crazier is that he didn’t swing the bat once, all strikes against him were called. This is just the fourth time in MLB history that a player scored at least four runs without an official at-bat. Harper’s explosion in walk rate has been one of the stories of his breakout season, thanks both to highly improved plate discipline and fear from opposing pitchers.
Thu, Sep 3

That is pretty odd

Add WR Damarr Aultman to list of Dolphins cuts today.
Not shocking, though he did flash occasionally. DEEP WR group. I am not sure that Jones might not be more of target for the PS, as i said when they signed him as an UDFA, the guy can flat our return footballs.
So Johnson, Aultman, Hawkins, Liedtke, Davidson, Soon to be Freeman and MBT, leaves us with 16 more to go.

On top of that they have confession of someone in the organization tampering with the balls, so they as a team are liable for their employee’s actions.
That is the big difference. The Pats as an organization are responsible for what the organization does. Brady is only responsible for what they can prove he did.

Seventeen-year-old Brendan Gatward tweaked his parents’ phones so they couldn’t type the word “no.“
He tweaked the settings on his mother’s and his father’s cellphones so that when they type in “No,” the words that actually appear onscreen read quite the opposite: Instead it came out “HELL YES”
The clever high school senior then asked his parents if he could throw a party. “HELL YES,” the 17-year-old’s mom replied via text. Mom replied “Wait” and “I typed HELL YES,” before imploring her husband for help. “Jim what is going on,” she typed. “I am saying HELL YES.”
lmfao
Any tech issues in terms of computer problems and stuff like that I let my 12 year old handle because I am clueless.
No biggie, soon we’ll be controlled by robots & humanoids.
Now if he could only figure out how to get girls his age to say “yes”

The Miami Dolphins offense led all AFC teams in total yards and passing yards during the preseason. Sign of things to come?
Thanks for the info, that’s awesome.
Really?
We didn’t score much

I think it still boils down to proof of misdeed.
not sure what your point is. all i meant is rose didnt cheat he broke the rule of betting on the game. brady did cheat.
—————————————
I agreed it was a loose conection between the two, Brady vs Rose. I was just saying that reason Brady was let off on his was lack of evidence to support the level of penalty he was given and in Roses case, i think the same thing would have happened if there had not been enough proof that he did. Not really challenging that Rose cheated, in fact i think all evidence supports that he didnt. He never bet on his own team (or has this now changed too?) so there was no clonflict of interest to cheat/lose on purpose.

Ahh, the magical response that all us men live for….like music to the ears.
In the old days you used to get that if you started a rock band.
Maybe in these Geek is Sheik days you just have to do an in internet start-up company.
Hotter babes if you can claim Google is looking to buy you out (even if it ain’t true).

#Buccaneers Placing 5th-Rd WR Kenny Bell On Season-Ending I.R. http://bit.ly/1fZawmJ
Bucs placed WR Kenny Bell on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ending his season.
It’s a bitter disappointment for a day-three pick who entered the league on a wave of momentum. Nebraska’s all-time leading receiver, Bell tore up the Combine, and had an inside track on No. 3 duties. He missed the Bucs’ final two preseason games, however, and wasn’t shining in practice. Now set to “redshirt” his rookie year, Bell won’t be guaranteed a roster spot in 2016.
lol @ won’t be gauranteed a roster spot in 2016. Hey injuries happen and he still is a big talent that performed early in camp prior to injury. Hamstring injuries are tricky but fully recoverable. He should be fine as long as he’s healthy. It might be a good thing to sit out this Bucs season LOL
Did the Bills cut Enempkali, or punch him out the door?
Punched his ticket.
LOL
Thanks Ken – I was hoping someone got that
Was a Jaws reference right?
Sometimes dont get it when you old dudes talk ancient code.
Yeah, Jaws. You and I both saw it, except I saw it when it first came out, and you saw it on Netflix on your iPad 45 years later. lol

Add LB Jeff Luc to the list of players released by the Dolphins today, though nothing has been announced.
He’ll hopefully make it back to the PS, same with Hewitt.
I wouldnt mind seeing Hull Hewitt and Luc on the PS, seems a bit of overkill to have 3 LBers on PS but those guys are worth keeping around.
LOL “though nothing has been announced”.
Really barry? might as well just announce that Josh Freeman and McLeod have been cut too cause it’s universally known they are cut by everyone in the media and fan base.
Yeah i thought that was pretty funny…. You are flat out stating that you as a reporter are reporting on something you have no facts to back up lol.

Good flick for an early “talkie” ….special effects sucked 🙂 LOL JK, i im terrified of sharks to this day because of that damn movie.
I’m going to eat bacon tonight anyway! Both Ajayi and Gills were running hard last night. Ajayi was playing very well, with speed & power. He caught some passes of nice gains too.
Gills was doing his best to make the team and when James fumbled that return inside our 10 yard line and then Jones came in to replace him on the next kick off and ran one back for 108 yards I thought Gills just might make the squad.

UPDATE: “Multiple Teams” In Talks With #Broncos For RB Montee Ball Including #Texans, Per @VicLombardi http://bit.ly/1KPWSPK
Rock,
I don’t think James is a lock to make the team and Ayaji may make the temporary IR list.
