The Porcine Oddyssey #97:
A Dolphins Carol,
Dolphins at Redskins
(Piggy tucks himself into bed)
The Flying Pig: (to himself as he closes his eyes) Its almost game day. What a great offseason the Dolphins had…Well of course we had a great offseason.
We have Ryan Tannehill. He was the obvious pick for the Dolphins in 2012. Since the Dolphins drafted him in 
2012 it was basically a foregone conclusion the Dolphins would be competing to be a contender eventually. And here we are, on the eve of the 2015 season. I can’t wait to fall asleep and dream about the 2015 season. We are going to the Super Bowl! Football is so predictable…
A Voice: Piggy….
The Flying Pig: What was that?
A Voice: Piggy…open your eyes…
The Flying Pig: Who said that (opening his eyes and getting out of bed)
A Voice: I said it Piggy…look at me…I am the Ghost of Ryan Tannehill
The Flying Pig: The Ghost of Ryan Tannehill?!?! It can’t be! Ryan Tannehill is alive and well and the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins!
The Ghost of Ryan Tannehill: Don’t worry yourself with technicalities Piggy…you had 8 beers before you went to bed.
The Flying Pig: Well…I’m under a lot of stress with the start of the NFL season and all…
The Ghost of Ryan Tannehill: You think it was destiny Piggy? You think the Dolphins only had eyes for me and there were no other QBs the Dolphins might pick in 2012?
The Flying Pig: Well Yeah…
The Ghost of Ryan Tannehill: Foolish Pork! The 2012 draft could have been a disaster for the Dolphins!
The Flying Pig: No way! Ryan Tannehill born to be a Dolphin. We saved our disasters for the 2nd and 3rd round in those years. Besides there was no other realistic option for the Dolphins…
The Ghost of Ryan Tannehill: Before you wake tomorrow, you will be visited by 3 ghosts….(he floats away)
The Flying Pig: (Piggy pulls the covers over himself) I’m never drinking stout beer again…
SUDDENLY THERE IS A SCRATCHING SOUND AT THE DOOR. PIGGY GOES TO THE DOOR OUT OF CURIOSITY.
THERE IS MORE SCRATCHING AND A WHINING SOUND.
PIGGY OPENS THE DOOR AND A PUPPY IS AT THE DOOR.
The Puppy: Piggy…I am RG Flea
The Flying Pig: Oh…you are cute little guy (scratching him behind the ear)
RG Flea: I am here to tell you about the past…well April 2012 to be exact…
The Flying Pig: You mean when we drafted Tanny?
RG Flea: (licking Piggy’s face) Yep…but you could have drafted RGIII instead.
The Flying Pig: (pushing the puppy away) awww…stop it now….we weren’t stupid enough to draft that bust…
RG Flea: Piggy, once upon a time in April 2012, there was a legitimate debate as to who should be the #1 pick in the draft: Andrew Luck or RGIII.
The Flying Pig: No Tanny?
RG Flea: No…but there were rumors that three teams would consider trading to the #2 spot in the draft to take whomever was left…the Browns, The Redskins and your Dolphins…
The Flying Pig: What? Stupid Puppy! Do you have brain damage. What did Michael Vick do to you? (shaking the puppy) What did Vick do to you?!?!
RG Flea: No its true Piggy…all of it…RGIII had a rocket arm and ran a 4.41 at the combine. He was an All American at Baylor in football and track! And it seems the draft hype carried into his rookie year. He was named offensive rookie of the year in 2012 and helped make the read option a fashionable play.
But the Dolphins made the mistake of not trading up for RGIII and settled on Ryan Tannehill, a wide receiver!
The Flying Pig: Settled! Stupid Puppy…get out of my house. (dragging the puppy by the collar to the door) I have heard enough of your barks. (He opens the door and throws the puppy out of the house)
RG Flea: And one more thing…sorry…
The Flying Pig: Sorry…for what?
RG Flea: Sorry I pooped in your slippers…
The Flying Pig: Damnit!
THERE IS ANOTHER KNOCK AT THE DOOR
The Flying Pig: Go away Puppy!
THE KNOCK CONTINUES AND PIGGY OPENS THE DOOR TO YELL AT THE PUPPY. BUT THE PUPPY ISN’T THERE ANYMORE. THIS TIME A BROKEN TEA CUP IS THERE.
RG Tea: Piggy…do you know how much the Redskins gave up for RG III? Four picks! Their first round picks in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and a second round pick in 2012. Ouch!
The Flying Pig: What happened to you teacup? You are broken?
RG Tea: Do you know how many 1st round offensive line men the Redskins took on day 1 of the draft since Griffin…zero! This is what happens when you ignore the offensive line!
The Flying Pig: Oh…
RG Tea: And no weapons either…meanwhile the Colts selected Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen and TY Hilton in 2012 to play with Andrew Luck.
The Flying Pig: And the Dolphins selected Jonathan Martin and Michael Egnew (Piggy makes a farting sound)
RG Tea: Well…okay it didn’t work out so well in 2012 after Tannehill with the first pick. But the Dolphins eventually may have fixed that and they also acquired Olivier Vernon, Lamar Miller and Rishard Matthews in 2012 as well..Meanwhile the Redskins…well presently they look like shit…And that’s why I’m here to tell you about the present.
The Flying Pig: I will tell you about the present! Ryan Tannehill is gonna surpass his numbers from 2014.
RG Tea: He might…he is gonna have to pass for 4,000 yards for a second consecutive year to do it…but he might..while that happens RG III has become a diva quarterback who can’t stay healthy, runs before throwing and won’t play another down for the Redskins. The Redskins have named Kirk Cousins as their #1 QB and Colt McCoy as their #2 QB.
The Flying Pig: Kirk Cousins is going to be eaten alive on Sunday! Growl!!!
RG Tea: He might be, not only are the Redskins down a Quarterback, they are down three other starters with those extra draft picks they gave up. Those picks could have been offensive linemen. Instead the Redskins offensive line looked like garbage in the preseason…There is no future for RGIII behind that Oline…but don’t listen to me talk about the future, Let RG Me tell you about the future…
The Flying Pig: Who?
RG Me: He said RG Me Piggy…that’s me!
The Flying Pig: But you are a mirror?
RG Me: That’s right. Who better to describe the future of a narcissistic diva than a mirror. While the media and fans were ignoring Ryan Tannehill, RG III was racking up endorsements with Adidas, Castro Motor Oil, EA Sports, Subway and Gatorade…He was a marketing monster. So I’m sure he stashed away a ton of money so it doesn’t matter what happens to his NFL career
The Flying Pig: Meanwhile Ryan Tannehill was working on his game.
RG Me: That’s right Piggy…but it could have been the Dolphins instead of the Redskins…
The Flying Pig: No…you are lying…not even Jeff Ireland…
RG Me: No Piggy…I am telling the truth…Look deeper into me and see it…
The Flying Pig: No I won’t…but I guess I should look a little….(staring into the mirror) SQUEAL SQUEAL!!! What is it.. What the fuck happened to my teeth?!?!
RG Me: Look at it Piggy. This is what you could have been. An RGIII fan! Saying things like ” When we get RGIII back” or “this offense is a bad fit for him” or “at least he is fun to play in Madden”
The Flying Pig: No! SQUEAL SQUEAL SQUEAL!!! Take me back. Take me to reality! I want Tanny as my QB! I want Tanny as my QB!
PIGGY WAKES UP AND IT IS GAMEDAY. HE PUTS ON HIS TANNEHILL JERSEY AND SPITS ON HIS DION JORDAN JERSEY.
LETS GO DOLPHINS!!!

Collectively we have predicted a Dolphins average score of 31.5(.521) to Washington’s 11.1(.086), a margin of victory of 19.5. Yahoo has the Dolphins -4, and the o/u @ 43.5.
Okay
there are way too many blowouts on this list
I’m going to change my score
24-23 Dolphins
I would love to blow out the Redskins
but it is the first game of the season and teams are still defining themselves
Doesn’t change Washington, but Dolphins lose .5(30.983).
I saw Gruden today talking about Miami leading the AFC east this year
Looking at 10/12 wins, love the optimism
This is going to be a great year, can’t wait for Sunday !
A Dolphin Carol – Nicely done Piggs. That was really good. We ended up in pretty good shape, thankfully we aren’t sitting around picking up the pieces of another bust.
Suh is here, everything is different now!
REALLY NICE EFFORT, Mr. PIGGY!!–I SURE appreciate what you do for this site!
—————————————
AS MOST of you know, our Dolphins defeated the Redskins in the single most important game in the history of our franchise – – Super Bowl VII. –That victory brought our franchise its FIRST NFL CHAMPIONSHIP!! – – And, more importantly, it CLINCHED THE NFL’s ONE AND ONLY PERFECT SEASON!!!!! – – NOW THIS GAME is not as big, but, it’s pretty damned important in its own right.—-A win gets us on course to make a run at what has become a rare occurrence, a playoff spot! —Conversely, an upset defeat at the hands of a back-up QB will bring an avalanche of criticism to this organization!! SIMPLY PUT, WE MUST WIN THIS GAME, PERIOD, or the naysayers will have a field day.
———————————–
Most of us on this site EXPECT a double-digit win by Miami. I am one of them!!!
Piggy
I really enjoyed this one. Great job!
Don’t forget to vote on the RG3 poll
Good job Piggy. I love ‘A Christmas Carol’ so that’s high praise. 😀
So, today is Tuesday, and what does that mean?
It means it’s time to send in your questions for this weeks Ask Mike!

Repost and add you name if you plan on going to texans at dolphins.
———————
And we have seats reserved already……..
NIcely done Pig…….great what if. Imagine where we’d be right now if we’d traded up for RGIII.
Forget who but at a few were advocating for that. Wonder if they are brave enough to admit it. 🙂
I was high on RGIII but never wanted to use 3 1st rounders to land him.
Sounds like you might have been pondering a trade up for chart value though. 🙂

it means one more day till i get to skip right pasted the ask mike article. YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
‘Forget who but at a few were advocating for that. Wonder if they are brave enough to admit it. :)’
oooohhhhhh, i seriously doubt it. they or at least the one i remember going on and on about snyders commitment to winning isnt the type that would. as a matter of fact, probably the type that yells and screams now that he never said it.
ffr — any chance you make the Fest? You could still do it later, but the final call on the group section is coming up.
Good point!
Either way, tomorrow is ASK MIKE!
Send in your questions! NJ1Dolfan@yahoo.com
piggy good stuff. God what a mistake would have been if we picked RGIII. I don’t think Ireland would have left miami alive if we’d picked RGIII.

I was high on RGIII
lol,that sounds like some new designer drug.
friend: wow dude, you look wasted
tim: mmmmaaaaaannnnn i am so high, right now
friend: cool, what are you on? RGI
tim: duuddeee, you are so 1980’s i am on this new RGIII stuff.
You take RGIII and you get a huge rush of euphoria followed by a crash and then a bad headache.
LMAO!!!!
Stanger, we already knew the price to move up to #2 was too much. 3 1st rd picks + was the price and that was just too much for one guy who is unproven. Look at where the Skins are now.
We didn’t know it would be three first upfront though. Chart value as like our 2nd in that draft and a first the next year.
Eventually we did hear the price would be 3 1st rd picks + and that’s when most people said no way. But that price the Redskins paid was from #6 to #2 and we were #8 so we new it would be even more for us.
Just saying that whether you’d pay sticker for him or a huge premium were two different considerations. Wasn’t really for getting him, but wouldn’t have trashed what would have been the expected deal either.

————————————–
i wanted Tanny, knew the Skins gave up to much for him as well, but thats who they wanted and they felt like they would have to move up that high to get him, and that was the price St. Louis was charging. It is what it is. I dont really think the implosion of his career was at all predictable and to be sure he had talent before his pride and believing his one hype got in the way.
own not one
My main problems with him were that he just seemed to have a far greater injury risk and that what made him valuable was his speed, which wouldn’t have been as big a factor come his 2nd contract…..like with an RB.

———————————————
RG3 is the coke of the 80’s, really expensive, really short high period, the more you keep trying it the less effective it is, and in the end you are broke, and feeling like you wasted the past few years of your life.
Well done. LOL
LOL — that’s cause it was really 10% the real thing and 90% speed.
LOL
All the cons about RGIII have come to fruition. Unfortunately not many knew he was a diva and not a leader either.
Yeah thats the most shocking part is that the guy seemed to have his head on straight and actually interviewed better, in my opinion, than Luck did. Luck didnt interview badly, he just didn’t seem to have the charisma RG3 had, both seemed really mature and grounded.
Yep! That’s why I pondered giving up 2 1st rd picks as a GM fan but quickly realized that wasn’t possible so I stopped even thinking about him and turned to Tannehill as an option if we went QB.

ffr — any chance you make the Fest?
stanger, sorry i missed this post, was to busy laughing at tim high.
and yeah…..sure, there is a chance, there is also a chance i sleep with kate uptown. you never know
Just so happens that Kate Upton will be there and has said you might have a chance.
Hickey/Tannebaum must have been big fans of Hard Knocks if what i have read is ture. Ez Nwachukwu and Lynden Trail have been offered spots on our PS, Nwachukwu, Accepted and Trail may still be considering it. I dont have anything that reports/confirms Trail. I think Trail would be a really good sign, he’s a monster of a man and seemed to really flash some good skills at the position. He also was a pretty highly ranked prospect while at UF, before his transfer, and when i was scouting players i kept seeing good things about him. There was a little mixed in negatives but overall seemed like an intriguing prospect. He also is a Miami native, so might be a good match for him as well.
here is my humble opinion.
just like with if satan had signed brees, there is no way of knowing if brees would have been just as successful under satan as he has been under payton.
well same for rgIII, no one knows what he would have done under philbin. i am not defending him, i never liked him much. he was like so many qb’s in college now a days, great athletes not great qb’s. but in a different environment no one knows what the out come might have been.
Right the same when players get hurt on another team, they may have never gotten hurt somewhere else, different place and time.
Yep. Look at Steve Young in TB vs SF. Imagine if he had been Testaverde’d and stuck all his better years on a sorry ass TB team instead of being dealt to SF and groomed behind Joe Montana with coaches such as Mike Holmgren & Mike Shanahan.
Brees certainly had a match made in heaven with NOLA and Sean Payton. Not to mention that the FO there really did a great job of designing an offense where there were all kinds of weapons (big, fast, small, etc)
Brees would have hated Saban.
D,
EZ was a Mike Sherman recruit at Texas A&M; Philbin probably knew of him back in doing draft work with Mike Sherman and the rest of the Miami FO. Texans have had big WR the last few seasons and have continued to go with a vertical game that’s slightly different than WCO style Miami is trying to run. I think Nwachukwu’s speed/size combo restricted him to just the slot in Houston but in Miami’s offense he could move around a little bit to different spots as they focus on attacking a shallower range of the field. For sure Hard Knocks opened some eyes; no question it had some influence but it probably just got Hickey looking at his file again and then discussing with Philbin where EZ might be now versus what Joe/Mike saw of him 2 years ago studying the draft.
I know, and Tanny was his QB in college too, so there is probably input given from Tanny as well. I was mostly just making a point that two of the guys last cut by the Texans are now reportedly at least interested by us, if not already signed. Trail to me seems to have tons of upside so i really hope that happens too. I know its a coincidence but interesting one anyways lol. Im really glad that James guy got picked up, he left nothing on the field, though i told my wife early on he had a hard road to making it as most people are looking for a bigger CB these days to combat the monster receivers that have been taking over the NFL, a big reason i felt confident Lippett made the team as well.
Aaron Roger’s three things he never does to avoid INT’s……….makes sense to me.
———————————————–
“One: No premeditated decisions.”
“Two: Don’t make a blind throw.” [to Rodgers means never throwing unless first checking out “where next coverage element is.”]
“Three: Don’t throw it late down the middle.”
Easier said than done LOL
Might be cause he can do that and others can’t…..for a QB speed of mind is as important as arm strength.
I was going to say the same thing. LOL
He learned #3 from watching Farve. LOL
C’mon people! It’s Week 1 for real in the NFL!
You guys must have some questions regarding the team.
Send them in please . . . NJ1Dolfan@yahoo.com
I have questions about why you want us to have questions…..
I need questions because that’s the way the article is done. Any further questions?
Well, seeing as how it’s Tuesday in Mike E land, and since this particular post won’t come out until Thursday, I want to know why you stressin’? I would think you think you’ve got 2 days…
LOL! I don’t know how I lost a day, considering I worked all day yesterday

yeah, can i pick the BOTW?
Please? Can he? I think we all agree Erin Andrews was the final straw…
Rob
Send me your suggestion
His question would be why don’t I read the questions or the answers? LOL
Im still kinda of scratching my head over the Bowman over keeping Ced on the 53 thing, or really even Bowman over not keeping someone like Stoneburner or picking up a guy like Watkins (though the pull to be re-united with his brother in Buffalo probably was pretty strong). Watkins would have been a sizeable upgrade over Bowman.
His versatility – has played boundary, slot and safety in his career and he’s also a STs guy. Ced is raw.
Not sure he plays every snap, he’ll likely split time with Fox or whoever the game day reserve LT is. We may bring 8 to the game rather than normal 7 due to this. We shall see.
I send you a question Mike E
It a doozy!
Yea, I’m back safe n sound….was a long weekend along coastal GA & SC.
Had fun, got to take in Savannah, Charleston, Isle of Palms, Pawley’s Island, Huntington Beach, Myrtle Beach, Little River, etc etc.
So what Phins news did I miss???
Nothing much…
Can you provide the website with BOTW? LOL
I think we can make this a specialized role for you 🙂
We won the Super Bowl
Its February!
why did you sleep for so long
Your beard is so long
D,
I like Ced but I think he’s more a pure safety and the Fins don’t really need to carry more than 4. Thomas/Aikens/Kovacs is where Ced was competing. The Fins had more talent at CB and thus decided to keep the mix of youth/experience there for the time being. If anything, Kovacs over Ced might be more of a head scratcher than trading off a CB spot for a S spot on the active roster. But as Tim mentioned, when you are a development player, you really have to show strength on special teams or else teams aren’t going to try and develop you at a position on the active roster (rather via PS).
Chris Perkins ✔ @chrisperk
LT Jason Fox (concussion) only player not practicing.

ffr — Kate reads the board and is excited to be there (she started following after some of the Sanchez articles. She just e-mailed me, “guess Rob just isn’t interested. such is life. But Rock, Al and that sexy Pig will be there. So I have three solid Plan Bs.”
Perkins had an article this morning criticizing Fins fans who think the Fins will go 6-0 because they face teams with bad QB. Chris started bringing up crap like the wins Thad Lewis, Mike Glennon, EJ Manuel, & Geno Smith’s of this world got as QB of teams Miami lost to over the last 2-3 seasons. I guess Chris is blind to the problems the DL had in stopping those opposing team RB and also the time in pass protection those bums had on key downs due to the lack of interior rush on those downs.
Wow, I see Jonas Gray is back, albeit on our PS. He’s a big bodied RB who could do well in some short yardage sits for us both blocking or toting the rock. If we ever activate him that is.
Perhaps he’s just there to mimmick some of the RB the Fins DL/LB crew will face in Week 1 -> Alfred Morris / Matt Jones
I don’t see him listed on the PS.
I think now that the season is starting we should designate a day for all things Fins…
Tuesday can be Tanny Tuesday, Wednesday can be Wrapper Wednesdays for Bazooka Joe 😛
Thursday can be T-SUH-nami Thursday
to celebrate – kick a QB in the nuts every Thursday
LOL @ both Al & Piggy. Thanks for the funny replies.
GD, your boy Tripp got cut but Vigil made it.
GD, I did a trip similar to that in February.
Bet ya liked it….loved the historical seaside & river front towns.
Yeah I did, wish it was a little warmer. Liked Charleston, only flew into Savannah and went back one night for dinner and a hokey touristy ghost ride. Wasn’t much to do in Hilton Head as the weather wasn’t warm. Watched the Super Bowl there.
Andrew Abramson ✔ @AbramsonPBP
#Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert expects to play vs #Redskins: “I’m tired of everybody asking me!”
____________________________
This worries me a tad….dang sure don’t need a setback playing the ‘lowly’ Skins or Jags. But Fox doesn’t know where his car keys are, so…. 😯
It’s weird the Pets didn’t keep Gray.
Tim,
It was announced that Jonas Gray took Rajion Neal’s spot on the PS (Neal was let go).
WOW, I liked Neal coming out of Tenn….but Gray is ahead of him experience wise for now.
Yep, we talked about Neal alot in that year we discussed UDFA such as Crowell, Damien Williams, etc. You hit it on the money though that year as you said Crowell & Williams were the late round to UDFA guys the Fins should take a chance on.
Thanks, the official site hasn’t updated.
LOL Piggy at Tsu-nami thursdays & kick in the nuts shots.
Tim, yeah, I sadly saw where Tripp got booted for now. He’ll play in this league, so I’m not worried about him.
He needs to recover from injury. Hope he gets a shot somewhere.
I think he’ll play somewhere as well. Could be in Miami again.
Cav — been wondering where you’ve been 🙂
LOL, I was happy to take 1 of 3 but my boys are starting to flag. Hopefully we pull it back together down the stretch.
You guys are just resting, but it has got a bit more interesting. Hate to say it, but mainly cause the Cubs are storming.
GDP,
Nice trip btw, except I’m one of the only persons that doesn’t like Savannah lol. I can appreciate the architecture and some good food but too ghetto for me in the interior historical parts.
I like St Augustine much better and not because I’m a Florida guy lol. I haven’t been to Charleston but I hear it’s the jewel of the South. All the southern military people I knew back in Jersey that were stationed at Fort Dix / McGuire Air Force base were all telling me it’s impossible to get transferred near there cause everyone wants to go there lol.
Savannah is very nice, though it is a bit gentile. Charleston is another thing, altogether.
stanger,
that woman is a skank. she will sleep with any pig.
What a win for the Mets last night. Down 7-1 in the 6th I said okay time to shave and shower. I check back in and it’s 7-6. LOL
Nieuwenhuis of all people hits the go ahead HR to make it 8-7. He’s never had a pinch hit HR before.
It’s their year fo sho!
Al,
Thanks, but actually I was surprised at how nice all the ‘ghetto’ peeps were in Savannah. Lots of, in fact most all the lil bars had rock n roll or blues going on with live bands.
Was great to see such well behaved whites & blacks all enjoying themselves.
We covered most of the cities on bike, which is a very kool way to do it & to get around….covered a lot of ground, and the freedom was awesome.
Latest depth chart. Who’s having giggle fits over Logan Thomas being on the roster?
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b26169e201b8d154b640970c-pi
MF13 is happy for sure but i’m a bit confused on carrying Thomas on the active roster vs another position. I guess the Fins really want to look beyond Matt Moore and will get a 6-7 week trial run while Ajayi rides the temporary IR list.
I don’t know if you saw but Buffalo re-signed Matt Cassell albeit at much cheaper terms.
I think the Fins would like to go that route but there is probably a greater demand for Moore as a backup and thus a higher salary demand than Miami wants to negotiate.
That is interesting.
Stanger:
Unless someone can figure out a way to teleport me to Miami my maybe is turning into a no. Every year since we have been involved, the Alz Walk has been the last Saturday in October. But this year, nooooooooooo. It’s the next to last weekend, same as the fest. I considered not going, but I just can’t, especially this year. Maybe next year. 😦
Gonna miss seeing your pretty face in person! ;(
herd — completely understandable. Sometime would be great if you could make the trip……what a great time. And no matter how much they misbehave on the board……the boys are respectful face to face.
Saw this comment on the sportsexchange news wire regarding the Fins carrying Jacques McClendon.
“09/06/15 – C-G Jacques McClendon was a bit of a surprise to make the final roster. McClendon got a shot at starting guard duties and backup center duties, but while he didn’t make any errors he didn’t seem as though he’d beat out fellow C-G Sam Brenner. But McClendon, the fourth-year player from Tennessee, apparently won the job based on not making mistakes.”
…and then there were 3….OL players from the Vols.
Why when I first glanced at this did sportsexchange register in my brain as sport sex change. 😳
Hmm, we see where your mind goes quickly…lol
the mind hears/sees what it wants to see lol.
Time for all you maybes to decide…….have to give our final number to the Dolphins tix office in about a week.

Al — do you know yet if your bro is coming to the Texans game?
probably
Need to give them the final number for the group section soon.
Hmm, seems rare to get a scenario to play out like that. As you mentioned, I don’t think trying that with Moore would work, plus he’s already been reworked for now.
Matt Moore won’t be here in 2016….IMO.

Tim,
It was announced that Jonas Gray took Rajion Neal’s spot on the PS (Neal was let go).
—————————————–
I had never heard anything about us picking up Neal, i think it was kinda like Trail, they probably offered and have not heard back if he accepted or not. They had 8 of 10 spots filled immedately, EZ makes 9, and Gray is 10. those are the only official poachings i have seen. I really would have preferred Neal over Gray to be honest, and Neal looked pretty decent with GB this camp. I also really hop the Lynden Trail is true and he accepts because he definately has great potential at a position we might lose a starter at next year.
Alos i was one of those pimpin Neal as a potential 4-5th round pick for us couple years ago. He runs like a beast, and is full out on every play. He may have a short shelf life in the NFL due to this though lol.

Stanger,
Sorry I haven’t checked in. My wife and I are taking a vacation Nov 4-10. I’m going to see if I can adjust my work schedule to fly in and catch the Sunday game before we head off to the Keys or wherever we end up. Also trying to fit the SD game in, but that Dec 20 date is a real bummer with kids and Christmas…
If you don’t hear from me in time and I end up making it work I will just buy some tix on my own and we will try to meet up. I should know by Monday what my plans are. Thanks for organizing and including me!
drg — Monday would work, but not too long after that. You can be in for everything else even if you don’t make the group deadline…….just can’t guarantee the seat price (we got a nice deal) and the sit with the crew.
And just looking at that Nov 4-10 vacation date. Game is Oct 25……you planning on tacking some more time on?
The kids are a bummer or christmas?

PFF Puts Tannehill in the Tier two of QB’s in the league and I cannot find any issue with what they say or how they slot the QB’s in front of him and behind him. (They have him as the 11th best)
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Brandon Marshall isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and that was on full display on Tuesday night.
Discussing the nullification of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” the Jets’ wide receiver theorized about how race might have played a role in Judge Richard M. Berman’s decision.
“White players, specifically at the quarterback position, are treated differently,” the five-time Pro Bowler said.
Marshall told host Adam Schein that many black players feel that they are held to different standards than their white counterparts.
“Absolutely,” Marshall said. “At times, at times, at times, yes.”
The 31-year-old stressed that he’s not alone in this thinking. Rather, it’s a widespread belief around the league.
“I think that the important role that I play on this show is to give the viewers (an) inside look of the locker room,” Marshall said. “I am a player right now. This is not just from our locker room; this is from the locker rooms across the States. This is how guys are feeling. This is not just my opinion. These are conversations I’m having with guys.
It’s a widespread belief around the world.
I don’t think this guy will go bankrupt within a couple of years after football. He has several investments of medical plaza’s and sports medical doctors associations in Weston.

PRACTICE SQUAD MOVES
Before the Dolphins added Gray to the practice squad, they also signed defensive back Jonathan Dowling.
Dowling appeared in seven games with the Oakland Raiders last season after being a seventh-round pick in the 2014 draft.
A native of Bradenton, Dowling first attended the University of Florida before transferring to Western Kentucky.
To make room for Dowling, the Dolphins released quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompsonfrom the practice squad. Running back Rajion Neal was released to make room for Gray.
http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/NOTEBOOK-Gray-Back-In-Familiar-Territory-Other-Notes/e513d1a5-3c74-4cfc-a756-783cf49320c4
Yay to the MBT drop, boo to the Rajon Neal drop.
I really liked Jonathan Dowling as a prospect couple years ago when he was drafted, like a later round consideration project dude. I think M13 was pretty hot on him as well.

Lol, Man i just went back and looks and its something with the settings of my PC but the teal lines between the white ones where some of the names were listed, has the text the same teal color as the lines, so they didnt show up until i highlighted all of them, then i could see the rest of the names on that page. LOL i thought one of the two of us was crazy, and to be frank i was betting on it being you.
Yeah that is designed poorly. The type should be knocked out white, not dark text on a dark band. I emailed them about it awhile ago and got no reply. LOL
Stanger,
I was thinking game was on Nov 1. Glad someone has their dates right…. Was going to plan and book our trip this Sunday and haven’t really looked at any dates yet. If I can swing the 26th I will let you know Monday. Going to be tough, but I’ll try. Sucks that none of the Dolphins games I’d like to hit line up with my schedule much this year.
That EZ guy in our offense could really be a good one. TBH he fits our system better than Matthews, maybe we will hold on to him for next year when Matthews leaves or to bring up if Matthews is traded.
This is like the third fucking year in a row i have predicted Francis would be gone but the fucker keeps proving me wrong. Maybe next year ill pretend he is going to be on the team so they will finally get rid of him.
He looked immovable and quick in the preseason. Last year before he got hurt he was running with the 2nd team and was going to make it.
I see Frank Kearse showed up on Washington’s injury report this week. Wasn’t he a “fan favorite” around here a few years ago? If I remember correctly he was like a 7th round pick for us and the SS did a piece on guys 1-6 but left Kearse out? Anywho, I thought I remembered him having a “fan club” on here. The guy is still in the league and playing.
Yes, a blogger even used his name. Kearse showed upside the way Fede has done and then regressed and was cut.
I was confusing him with Kheeston Randall though. But there was a blogger named I am Frank Kearse.
Son, did you see where PFF put Cam? (one spot behind Tanny) I know, what the fuck to they know..
I was talking with my old schools and my grand kids School football coach about how he would go about attacking the Dolphins defense. He said he would attck with short quick passes. Then he said he would attack the LB’s to the outside opening the zone between safeties and LB’s. He said look for the RB’s to line up closer to QB to make running plays quicker to counter Defensive Line.
D,
Interesting to see Dowling added. He was cut by Oakland due to what coaches said were maturity issues. Dowling said he was surprised by the move but hopefully it makes him take his next job seriously. I wanted him as a late rounder a couple years back. He was a ballhawk in college but lacked overall safety skills.
Frank Kearse is on the Redskins. I remember Geoff using him as his screenname, I Am Frank Kearse. lol
Yes but I never new his name was Geoff.

Turning got waived by Seattle w/ an injury settlement.
Robert Turbin that is
Jetssuck,
Quick pass routes is how NE played Detroit last year. Skins don’t really have a similar personnel though to be as effective over 4 Q. Their OL.has big protection priceless. Pounding the ball gives them the best chance. Skins have big backs
Big protection problems that is (fucking word prediction on my phone)
Matt Jones was a guy i really wanted for us in last years draft but Skins took him, and actually a lot higher round than i had expected. I was hoping we would use one of our 5th rounders on him but thy took him in the 3rd.
thanks I will have something to talk with him tomorrow
Piggy I have us in a close one too
But a late blocked punt by Reshad Jones near the goal line leads to 7 points for Miami
Or is it a forced fumble
The vision isnt very clear yet…
GO PHINS!!!
But it is definitely a defensive touchdown Huh? You can definitely tell that from your vision
Hasn’t your vision been fuzzy for a long time? 😉
At any rate, least ya have the Phins in the Win column.
Jonas Gray was back in the locker room at the Doctors Hospital Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University on Wednesday, and he’s looking forward to showing he’s a different running back than the one who was in Dolphins training camp two summers ago.
“It’s a little bit different, a different feel,” Gray said. “I got some game time under my belt. But it’s nice to be back. I’m familiar with the organization and I’m glad to be here, hopefully do everything I can to help the team be successful on and off the field.
“I’m definitely a more mature player. I’ve learned a lot, growth as a player and as an individual. Just smarter all around and a better pro.”
Gray was signed to the practice squad Wednesday, three days after he was waived by the New England Patriots.
After being waived by the Dolphins in 2013, Gray joined the Baltimore Ravens practice squad that season before signing with New England the following January. Gray began last season on the Patriots practice squad before being activated in October.
In his fourth NFL game, Gray had a night to remember against the Indianapolis Colts, rushing for 201 yards and four touchdowns.
His role diminished after that game, although he did gain 62 rushing yards against the Dolphins in December.
When training camp started this summer, Gray actually was expected to compete for a starting job.
“I was shocked, but at the same time I can’t blame them,” Gray said. “They’ve got to do what they think is best for the team. I was surprised. I thought I did everything I can to earn a roster spot — not only earn a roster spot, but earn a starting spot. But it didn’t work out my way. I’m excited to be here and excited to be employed.
“The most exciting part is to come back here and see some of these familiar faces and to kind of show them how I’ve grown as a player and as a person. I’m excited. Excited to work.”
In his one preseason with the Dolphins in 2013, Gray rushed for 107 yards and had two touchdowns in a game against Jacksonville but slowed down after a strong start and was released.
He did, however, leave a good impression on his coaches.
“He’s a good football player,” Head Coach Joe Philbin said. “He’s obviously had production since he left us. We like his body type. We think he’s a good scheme fit. He likes football. He was a hard worker the last time he was here. I think he’s a good football player. Glad to have him back.”
With Ajayi out 8 weeks why isn’t he on the 53? After the first RB injury in the league he’ll get poached.

I think the problem may be with your thumbs since I have an iphone as well but no issues. Do you have thumbs like Meghan Fox, my mom and ffr’s daughter? 2 suggestions…1, if you click on the first comment in the ‘Recent Comments’ section in the sidebar, it will take you to that comment, which should be the last comment that’s been made. We can call this the avoidance maneuver. OR 2nd. Enlarge the image a bit, so you can clearly click to open the comments at the bottom of the post rather than clicking the image over and over. We can call this the go big or go home maneuver. Hope that helps. 🙂
LOL, well stated.
I’m getting a little peaved at the national media listening to omar and Walker saying, we’re paper thin. Maybe on the Oline, but would could handle 2 or 3 injuries to the Oline and still function enough to win, with RTs newfound pocket presence. Take out 2 LBs and insert Vigil and McCain and we’re still a top D, as well as a couple of DBs.
Where are we thin, the bottom third of the roster, from 60-90?
Good, let the lamestreet media mislead the masses while we Phins clean up with our own superior knowledge. 😀
With that said, does anyone feel we have scrubs on the bottom of the 53, and if so who? Kovacs? He is solid at best, but you gotta have a backup that can contribute, if an injury happens, and that’s why I guess they took him over Ced.
I think we are as deep as we’ve been in a very long time and I think we have as deep a roster as anyone else.

I thought the same, but guess they want to give the other 3 RB’s a chance in week 1, plus it’ll take a couple weeks for Gray to be up to speed on the playbook and signals.
Point was someone may poach him.
I’m sure the NE Cheats versed him well on our signals, lol
So he should be ready to go week one.
Also, turnabout is fair play.
Shut the Fuck up Brandon Marshall you big fucking baby, instigator and idiot.
He can talk all he wants, now that he’s on the jets. I despise anyone playing the racial card, but since it’s brady I’ll let it slide 😉
In the sense that he’s a stej and he’s talking about Marsha I see but there is no need for the crap he’s trying to propogate
This time this is for Brandon (as well as Kanye)
Oh shit!
Back in the early ’90s with JJ in Dallas they used to start every game off 21-0, 17-0, before the opponent knew what hit them. I expect us to start this yr the same way.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said the Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill may be one of the most improved quarterbacks in the NFL.
When Omar’s only bad words for RT this offseason has been he’s a dink and dunk QB…
i wonder if that means they are going to put a back on that side to block maybe just keep in the TE to block. Maybe bring in extra OL?
Rock I dont think its a D touchdown or Special teams. Near the goal line but the Ofense gets it in on the 1st play
GDP yes been fuzzy since my mid teens but I also cant hardly read the little stuff since my mid 40’s

Al,
Thanks, but actually I was surprised at how nice all the ‘ghetto’ peeps were in Savannah. Lots of, in fact most all the lil bars had rock n roll or blues going on with live bands.
Was great to see such well behaved whites & blacks all enjoying themselves.
We covered most of the cities on bike, which is a very kool way to do it & to get around….covered a lot of ground, and the freedom was awesome.
————————–
PBS just had a program on about riding a bike around Savannah, it looked pretty cool.
Savannah is an odd city, without a doubt, but it has tremendous history and the people are very nice. I like the place.
It was the shnizzle…lol
Lots to see of the historical monuments, architecture of buildings, houses, and store fronts. The brick roads were challenging enough, but the real 17th-18th century large cobblestone streets were leg burners. Most people stayed off them, but me and girlfriend went all X Games on them…lol
After tiring of that we rode around drinkin pints at just about any street pub we could find…biking beats bar crawl walking anytime….adds levels of danger. 😉
Did you go to the pirate House and explore the underground?
a quick stop there, but also saw other neat underground dwellings, places, around the area….lots of ingenious thought way back when it was built.
Really? https://www.yahoo.com/movies/ronda-rousey-to-star-in-mgms-road-house-reboot-128715494817.html
I think what we’re going to see during the season is the DBs fall into place based on performance and that’s how we’re going to find our main secondary. Lots of young players and new guys so it will work itself out in time. Not sure it’s set in stone just yet.
‘Understatement of the yr.’
lol, sure would be nice to play a couple of games first to find out if it is
No need, we’ve seen it already. It ranks right up there with, we’re going to need a bigger boat.
BREAKING NEWS:
Judge Richard Berman has re-instated the brady suspension adding an additional 12 games. “When I made my original ruling I forgot the fins signed Suh, They already won the SB, so need to actually play the games”

Yeah not worth the discussion. Nothing wrong with finally thinking your team might be good. I don’t see what you’re seeing outside of a few comments here and there. I’m still guarded until I see it like with the Mets. Two straight sweeps of the Nats and 7 games up with 23 to play. 🙂

PFF Puts Tannehill in the Tier two of QB’s in the league and I cannot find any issue with what they say or how they slot the QB’s in front of him and behind him. (They have him as the 11th best)

I can, this article was written by someone that hasn’t even noticed what RT has done in the offseason. His pocket presence is now top notch, as is his accuracy on short and medium passes. Dude said he’ll have better stats this yr, but it won’t be because he’s any better.
Rock, you can’t find anything wrong with that?
He’s moving his feet better which is something he wanted to do, I noticed it this offseason. Let all the fantasy goofs bark. LOL
RT was the 11th highest scorer in our league last year. I have Aaron Rodgers in my league who is #1. RT’s made major strides. Keep denying it division dolts. LOL
I think he has really improve his pocket presence but its no where near top notch. I saw tons of times in preseason that he had enormous open space in front of him and he stayed in the very back of the pocket while the DE kept coming around and eventually got pressure in him from the back. He should be feeling that and stepping up. This isn’t to say he isn’t going to have a good year or that he isn’t improved, he just has to have more work.
Who’s open, maybe nobody? There are two parts to a passing game. We seem to always look at the QB only. Kind of weird when you think about it.
The Mets have to go like 10-13 which isn’t who they are and the Nats have to go 18-5 which isn’t who they are to take them over. The 7.0 game lead is huge! Don’t blow it! 🙂
I really want to see the Dolphins have that same kind of takeover year. 🙂
