Welcome to Ask Mike – 2015 Season Week 1

ASKMIKELogo

from Tim

Q – Okay week one, which receivers do you see being targeted the most? This includes TEs and RBs. I ask this because I want to know the fucking answer. LOL

Thank you!

I think Jarvis Landry will be the main target this week, and almost always unless proven otherwise. Tannehill and Landry are on the same page, and Landry gets open, and makes the catch, and fights for extra yardage every time.

I do think Greg Jennings will get some targets, and be on the field a lot. He runs great routes, and is a guy who knows how to play the game, and although last year in Minnesota, he had a down year, I expect bigger things this year from Jennings.

I also expect Jordan Cameron to get some big targets. he’s tough to cover down the seam, if Tannehill can find him open, he has potential to make some big plays. I think that’s what Cameron does best. I don’t think he’s a Mark Bavaro type, where you hit him with a 5 yard pass, and then he drags 3 guys for a 15 yard gain. He’s dangerous when he breaks open and gets good separation, because he has the speed to take one all the way.

I think MillerTime will get 2-5 passes on Sunday as well, and I think Damien Williams, Miller’s backup will also get a couple of targets. Still, I think it’s Jarvis Landry that will get the most opportunities.

from OD

Q – When the season is over do you think we will regret not taking the best available O-Lineman in the 2nd round.

I really hope not. I went back to take a look at who was available in the 2nd RD, but we also have to remember we traded back from RD 2 Pick 15 with the Eagles, to get 2 5th RD picks, and move down to RD 2 Pick 20.

We took DT Jordan Phillips at pick #52, and and there were no OL taken in between pick #47 (our original pick) and pick #52 (Jordan Phillips). Mitch Morse (OG), who I personally had no interest in at that point was taken at #49 by the Chiefs. Jake Fisher (OT) was taken by the Bengals at pick #53, right after we took Jordan Phillips. Fisher is a guy I wanted the Dolphins to draft.

As it turns out, Jake Fisher appears to be the heir apparent to the LT spot when Andrew Whitworth is done in Cincinnati, which is likely 2016, when Whitworth becomes an UFA.

I think the biggest piece to this puzzle or question, is how Branden Albert does this season. This was/has been one of my worries since before the draft. It seems doubtful #76 will be in the lineup Week 1 against the Skins, but all reports have been good, and Albert has been doing a little more each week, without any setbacks. Now it’s not just a matter of Branden Albert getting into the lineup, but to me, it’s that when he is in the lineup, he’s something close to the player he’s been previously, and not like Jake Long was at the end of his career in MIA. If he’s not effective, or healthy, or both, and we need to move either Jason Fox or Dallas Thomas to LT, and then move Jamil Turner to LG, and Billy Turner to RG, I think we might be in some trouble.

Most fans seem to have taken Albert coming back for granted, but I’m not one of them. If the O-line keeps us from what I think we can be, then YES, I think we should have taken an OL instead of a DT, Jordan Phillips. My guess is the OL will have been more valuable to us this year then the DT. Clearly, Earl Mitchell and Suh are the starters, and Jordan Phillips is the next guy in the rotation, but if big #76 isn’t right for us this season, I’ll be seriously regretting that pick. Hopefully, that’s not that the case Randy.

from Stanger

Q – What’s your over/under for sacks against the Redskins?
And while we are at it, how about their rushing yards?
Yeah……I’m thinking might be a whole different world in both categories.

stanger

I think Kirk Cousins is a pretty smart guy, and I’m sure he’s done his homework on our Dolphins defense. That being said, I’m sure the OC realizes that they don’t want to ask too much of Cousins, and have designed a lot of plays where the ball comes out quickly. The last thing they want is our defense all over Cousins because he’s holding the ball too long. However, neither the OC or Cousins really knows what they’re up against.

I would say the over/under for sacks against the Redskins should be 4.

As far as rushing yards, I would expect OD’s favorite, Alfred Morris to be a big part of their offense. He’s going to get a lot of carries, but not with great success. My guess is, unless they fall behind really fast, that Morris gets between 20-25 carries, but the over/under for yards should be about 70. It’s gonna be tough out there for big Alfred, as the Dolphins defense will not be offering much in the way of rushing lanes. I expect a volume of carries with little success.

from Pigsgerald Oinkustus Bacon

Q – Mike

If they weren’t the first game on our schedule, I might be stating on a
daily basis that the Redskins are the worst team in the NFL, that they had a
horrible offseason and that they would be lucky to win 4 games this
season.

But they are our week 1 opponent. So I go into “don’t get over
confident” mindset even though I have no control of what happens on the field.
This is of course to protect myself from being let down, which is of course
inevitable if we lose, even if I expected to lose.

This is the damage I do
to my psychology every football year. I know I’m not the only one. What is
wrong with Dolfans? Are you willing to go in the record and call a win over the
Redskins a sure thing. Or are you as dysfunctional as the rest of us? Really
how bad are the Redskins?

Pigsgerald

I don’t think we’re going to lose, even if Branden Albert doesn’t start, (He says he’s starting). I could even say even if Branden Albert does play, because I don’t expect him to be in there all that much. Either way, I think, like you, the Redskins are a hot mess. If we want to be contenders, you take a team like the Redskins, and you bet them, beat them good. I’ll take a sloppy win, but I don’t think that happens Sunday against the Redskins. I expect an all around thrashing. I

I picked 30-6, and I meant it. We’re going to be all over them this week, without necessarily “running it up” on them. Joe won’t keep his foot on the accelerator all game, and we’ll be running the clock midway through the 3rd QTR until the game is over. We’ll be up by 17-20 points at halftime.

Just relax, and understand we’ve built a pretty good team. Think of this. Devante Parker is now healthy, and ready to go, and he’s like the 5th string WR. Of course he missed a lot of time, but we’re not desperate for his services! We have a nice corps of WR’s now, with Jennings and Stills and Landry, even if I think it’s Landry, Jennings and Stills. Our defense will be ravenous, and and will ravage the Redskins. Lamar Miller is going to have a nice day against the Skins. Jordan Cameron is going to make a couple of big plays. I expect at least 2 INT’s, and a fumble recovery. We will win the TO battle.

I’m confident we will win, and win strong on Sunday. Maybe it’s me who needs to be committed. lol

from GDP

Q – Deer Axe Mike,

With Brandon Albert confirming to start Sunday @ Washington, do you think the coaching staff & trainers are pushing Albert in too fast? 
We’d sure hate to see a setback or poor play due to not being a 100%, just a lil over 10 months since tearing both ACL & MCL.

Serendipity,
GetterDone Phins!

I think if Jason Fox wasn’t concussed, Fox would be starting, so in that regard, YES, I do think they are letting circumstances dictate the terms a bit. On the other hand, like I mentioned above to Pigsgerald, I don’t think for a second Albert will play the entire game, and despite his “starting” status, I don’t think he’s in there for more than a series or two or three. They don’t want/need to push Albert too far Sunday, and I don’t think they will. We’ll see a lot of movement on the line, with Dallas Thomas probably playing some LT, along with Jamil Douglas moving to LG, and Billy Turner at RG. I think Jeff Linkenbach might even play some LT Sunday. I think it’s really unrealistic to expect Branden Albert to go the entire game this quick, and he won’t. We’ll need big #76 to be in shape, so consider this his first preseason game. He’ll play for a few series, and then out he goes, as he leaves it in the hands of the aforementioned Thomas and/or Linkenbach.

  3. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    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?

    Steve, I think you miss his pout that RT has been consistently good and has needed a better supporting cast. I think that is a compliment rather than a slight against him.

  4. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    JUST GREAT WORK, Mike E!!!! – – I believe our O-Line shortcomings will be the number one reason we WILL NOT win a playoff game in 2015. — By the time we get to early January (and our home game against New England) our O-Line will NOT be the same as it is now. And the changes WON’T be for the better!

  17. jetsssuck's avatar jetsssuck says:

    Here’s something I read yesterday—-How is it that a LB from colts can tell the pressure in football is .75 psi low when a referee couldn’t tell the difference that handles the football all of the game. The LB probably never touches a football in practice or during a game. Why did the colt team equipment manager take a measurement when that is against league rules.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      The Colts were informed by the Ravens of the practice of deflating balls
      so they were all looking for it and caught it when it happened

      The better question is why didn’t Brady who was handling the balls all game, notice it

      why does it matter if the colts measured the ball, I bet some of them jaywalked on the way to the stadium too..

      • jetsssuck's avatar jetsssuck says:

        harbureah (sic) said they didn’t provide any info about deflation but maybe(speculation) from what I read maybe the equipment manager did since he has a relationship with colt hc.
        NFL rules prohibit measuring of balls after they are certified to be within 12.5 to 13.5 psi. The Colts broke the rules of the NFL by tampering with football.

  24. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Jetssyck
    I realize the pats aren;t your favortie team
    and I know you are a diehard Dolfan

    I think you are just playing devils’ advocate with the rest of us

    But I personally think you are being taken in by all the propaganda out of new england
    There is so much coming out of new england from there fanbase and to placate the fans that’s its become so hard to know the truth or not

    In fact I think the rest of the NFL outside of New englad, outside of poking fun at the patriots, are bored with the story
    so the only information coming out now is coming out from new england to defend Brady and the patriots and is extremely skewed to that end

    if you keep reading about it you are going to get the Patriots point of view – its the only thing new out there

    The NFL’s strategy is to say not discuss the facts and open the door for some one to pick them apart – they basically want the Court’s to say – upheld and arbitration holding, don’t analyze it

    the patriots strategy is to pick apart everything the nfl done

    its not advantageous in the public eye for the NFL, bc they are basically saying “it is bc I said so” which is legally the right argument to make when you are trying to have a arbitrators decision upheld, but not a good idea in terms of PR

    + irrespective of your feelings on the patriots or deflate gate most of the fans do not like Goodell who was booed at the draft for years, so no one is in a hurry to defend him vs the barrage of criticism he is taking (except the owners)

    “NFL rules prohibit measuring of balls after they are certified to be within 12.5 to 13.5 psi. The Colts broke the rules of the NFL by tampering with football.”

    Jetssuck,
    In your zeal for righteousness you overlooked the simple fact that the Colts measured the “Patriots” Ball which was used by the Pats offense…the Colts use their own balls on offense (each team has their own balls). The tampering rule speaks to the balls each team will use on offense and not those ‘intercepted’ and tested by a defense off the field of play.

      jetsssuck, I think what is causing you to receive so much backlash from the masses is you seem to give credence only to those things that appear to support the patriots while dismissing anything contrary as just the sour grapes of jealous fans.

  35. Al in MIA's avatar Al in MIA says:

    Flying Pig,
    The Steelers aint what they used to be because they’ve had to overhaul their LB and secondary over the last 2-3 seasons. I think the LB play is key in that style of D they play but gone is Dick Lebeau the architect of the D we all were used to watching the last 10+ years.

    However, I think the Steelers are building up the D again nicely and Shazier is poised to have a good year coming off his rookie season last year. I’m hoping to see rookie Bud Dupree get some snaps tonight :). He’s been very good in the preseason.

    where the hell you been. havent you been reading the blog. by the end of the fins fisrt drive it will be up 94-0. they will take him out and coast the rest of the game.

  38. Al in MIA's avatar Al in MIA says:

    It will be interesting to see how the Patriots D will be attacked by Pittsburgh.
    Belicheck usually does a great job squeezing production out of average players but many players in the NFL on offense feel much better facing a secondary that does not have Revis in there. Vince Wilfork’s presence at DT/NT will be missed as well. When it comes down to it; not sure the alternative will have the same fight Vince had in critical downs to dominate his opponents. From a Patriots website written on July 31st -> “The other downfall to the offseason: Vince Wilfork is no longer a Patriot. He played roughly 74 percent of snaps a year ago”

    “NFL rules prohibit measuring of balls after they are certified to be within 12.5 to 13.5 psi. The Colts broke the rules of the NFL by tampering with football.”

    Jetssuck,
    In your zeal for righteousness you overlooked the simple fact that the Colts measured the “Patriots” Ball which was used by the Pats offense…the Colts use their own balls on offense (each team has their own balls). The tampering rule speaks to the balls each team will use on offense and not those ‘intercepted’ and tested by a defense off the field of play.
    ———————————————-
    The rules state no one is allowed to tamper with ANY balls after they are certified before the game. maybe you can explain how a LB would know a ball is under inflated .75psi I find this very suspicious and why the 3 of 4 Colt balls were found under inflated but they were put back into the game at the beginning of 3rd quarter without putting the balls back to legalized psi 12.5 to 13.5 psi. That is really suspicious .

      JS — and that was why in the Wells report they didn’t count that ball. They did the ones in that the Pats still had though.

      You seem to have some real strong conspiracy theory going. Even if it is true, why you sticking up for the Pats so much?

      • jetsssuck's avatar jetsssuck says:

        what’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong. Why wasn’t the Colts balls inflated besides the lame excuse of they were running out of time. The AFC championship had 2 TWO officials that were reserves for the game. It doesn’t add up.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        JS — lots of wrong happen in the world. You are a smart guy. Like to think I am too, but I am not as 100% as you are…..and even if I was I’d just say so and let it go.

        If it helps any, I don’t know for sure Brady knew what was happening. I am pretty sure that if nothing at all did though that Kraft wouldn’t have accepted one of the harshest penalties in the history of the NFL. Thinking he got to the bottom of it….wouldn’t you if you owned the team

      i just got back dropping of my daughters friend at car rental place and I noticed on the car window that they charge 250 dollars to clean car for cigarette smoking. How do they tell if you spray the insides with smoke eliminator spray?

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Been there on that one. It was a hotel room rather than a rental car, but hey I did it…..so I just paid. Full circle about my comment above on Kraft.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      The Steelers had the 2nd pass yards per game last season
      and the 2nd total yard per game as well

      Lost in all the deflategate hype is the fact that the Patriots lost wilfork and Reavis this offseason

      The Patriots were 13th in TPG last season (Dolphins were 12)

      I think is possible that the Steelers move the ball well against the patriots int he air tonight
