Mikey Says . . .

 

OK, so this week will be the first, and hopefully the last article called “Mikey Says” Unfortunately, I only got one question this week (Thanks Wyo!). What I then decided to do, was just give my impression of our first effort against the Redskins, and a little preview and some advice of what we need to improve on in that game.

First off though, let’s answer the question that was asked, he certainly deserves that much!

from Wyo

Q – Now that Lynch got STUFFED for a loss to seal the LOSS for the water chickens!
Can we finally quit hearing about “If they would have run Lynch they would have won the SB”?

For the Fins There seems to be a lot of Folks that must have drank the Kool-Aid?
But it’s not the usual Kool-Aid Swillers! It’s the negative Nellie’s!

Did everyone not realize our LB’s were the weak spot of the team?
That our line hadn’t had time to work together and there would be growing pains?

Nah, I still think the Seahawks should have run the ball, you go with what brung ya, and that’s what got the Seahawks to the big game game. It’s not like we were asking them to run from the 5 yard line, they were at the 1, so let Marshawn finish the tired, underinflated Patriots defense off and give Pete the Weasel the trophy.

As for the Dolphins, yes the LB’s aren’t great, but I did expect a lot more from them. Sheppard was non-existent, and although Misi and Jenkins were better, still nary an impact play from that group.

As for the O-line, I don’t want any damn excuses that they haven’t worked together. How did Washington’s O-line with RT Morgan Moses who is a new starter, RG rookie Brandon Scherff, newly acquired C from SF Kory Lichtensteiger, newly acquired LG from CLE Shawn Lauvao and pro bowl LT Trent Williams keep our vaunted D-line off of Kirk Cousins? Look at the Redskins D-line of LE Stephen Paea, NT Terrance Knighton, RE Jason Hatcher, and tell me which D-line would you rather block? We managed one paltry sack against the Redskins newly put together O-line, and it was rookie Jordan Phillips, not “Everything is different, Suh is here”, or Earl Mitchell, Vernon or the great EarthWake. Honestly, there are no excuses. This is what we chose to go with, and we will either be good or bad with it.

Thanks for participating as per usghe Wyo!
_____________________________________________

OK, now for some scathing commentary on our 2015 Miami Dolphins . . .

So a bunch of cut blocking no name Washington Redskins O-linemen neutralized the best D-line in football? WTF! Seriously? We’re OK with this? I’m not OK with it at all. That unit better show a helluva lot more than what they showed Week 1 against the Redskins. No run stopping, blowing up running plays in the backfield. No sacks, nothing! If it weren’t for rookie Jordan Phillips busting through, we wouldn’t have had a sack against WAS, and don’t tell me one was brought back due to penalty! WahWah!

I’m shocked how bad Sheppard was. This is last chance at ever being s starting MLB in the NFL, and he goes out there and makes 3 tackles and 2 assists, while the Redskins have 37 rush attempts, for 151 yards. That’s embarrassing. Was he spectating? Is he a big fan of Zach Vigil, and he’s trying to give him a leg up? Misi and Jenkins were better with 9 tackles, 2 assists and 7 tackles 4 assists respectively.

Ndamukong Suh? How many snaps did he play? I saw him in there an awful lot, but I don’t have an official snap count, but 1 tackle, 1 assist. He’s not Tim Bowens trying to eat up 2 blockers, he’s a penetrating beast that eats RB’s in the backfield, and drags down QB’s by their locks, but not Sunday. I think Suh was spectating along Sheppard, or maybe he’s a big fan of Jordan Phillips, and wants to see more of him.

OK, enough of the bad, let’s take a look at some of the good!

Jarvis Landry is the man, and I couldn’t have been more wrong with my criticism of selecting him in the 2nd RD. He’s my favorite player on the Dolphins, and if I were to buy a jersey (I’m NOT!!!), it would be his. He is a pleasure to watch every week, and I’m more impressed each time I see him play.

Reshad Jones was everywhere, and although he didn’t get an INT or a sack, he was making tackles all over the field, and yes they were tackles the LB’s SHOULD have made.

Brice McCain got his first INT in Miami, and although I had hoped Jamar Taylor would start, and maybe he will down the line, McCain played well enough. Grimes also got us an INT, and that’s what we expect from him, and he came through. We didn’t killed through the air, especially considering the lack of pass rush.

Jordan Cameron can make catches down the field. The last time we had a guy like him (NO, it wasn’t Charles Clay), was probably David Martin. If he can stay healthy, and he did take a couple of hard shots last week, he can be a good guy for Tanny to have.What a great diving catch he made!
Millertime looked good when we finally decided to actually give him the ball. 13 carries, 53 yards, but why we continue to not give him carries, i’ll never understand it. We could have 20 different OC’s, and MillerTime will STILL get 15 max carries a game. Baffling!

Did I mention that Landry is the man? Great job receiving, and his PR won us the game last week. When all else fails, look to Juice to get it done!

Really surprised to so much of Rishard Matthews. Not that it’s a bad thing, I was just surprised how much we saw Rishard, and how little we featured Greg Jennings and even more so, Kenny Stills.

Go Hot Dog! Franks didn’t miss, nailing his only FG attempt!

Darr averaged 43.5 yards per kick, and left one inside the 20, with a long of 63. Good job!

LaMike is NOT LaBron. Good Luck LaMike!

Fede looked good in the D-line rotation, playing more than expected with Vernon injured.

The O-line, I’m not going to kill them, but they weren’t great. They’re going to need to be a whole lot better when we face better defensive fronts than the Washington Redskins, that’s for sure. Face them we will too, because we have 2 games against the Bills, 2 against the Jets, 2 against the Patriots (Not that the Pats front 7 is so great, but they usually give us fits), 1 against the Texans, and 1 against the Ravens (losing Suggs hurts them, we’ll see how Za’Darius Smith fares). 3 sacks from the Deadskins = a lot more from most of the other teams I just named.

I really want to see our defense look scary to their opponents. They looked scary to me, and in not in a good way, but I want the Jaguars to be talking on the sidelines like “How can we stop those guys, they’re relentless?” I want them shaking their heads in disbelief as the sacks pile up, as well as the turnovers. I want our defense to be imposing!

I want our QB to look like an ALL-Pro, not an also ran. He can be better, he has to climb to that level. Not that he was bad last week, he wasn’t, he just wasn’t great either. Do it!

I want the real Ndamukong Suh led defense to take the field, and I want to see Cam Wake and Vernon reap the benefits of having Suh on the line.

I want us to be DEVASTATING! Do it!

GO DOLPHINS!!!

    i am the same way grocery shopping or walking in a mall… i just assume they are going to either come to a complete dead stop right in front of me , or they are going to do a sudden turn in a totally unexpected direction… and again, i am not usually wrong..

      Right, and it doesn’t mean they’re bad people or you hate them. It it was it is. There’s plenty of white people who do a lot of the same stuff.

        LMAO I was thinking of you two as i was typing, and almost put an apology your way.. i was not aware that this term had become so high charged.. i apologize to any i may have offended… I’m Canadian.. “It’s What I Do !!!”

    “He always asked for the footballs way, way before he was supposed to get them. If he could get them 10 or 15 minutes before he was supposed to get them, instead of the usual two minutes before the game – and there were some crews that let him do that – he would do it. I wouldn’t let him take them early, and I think he eventually figured that out because he stopped asking after a while. I probably did 10 to 15 games up there in Foxboro and those first few times, he’d always ask. I always thought it was very suspicious. He certainly acted in a suspicious manner.’’

    I believe building a science experiment in probably the most commonly used computer experiment case (a briefcase) falls under the “life liberty and pursuit of happiness” clause.

    Kid didn’t do a damned thing wrong and had his freedom taken away anyway. He’s going to facebook because he’s tech-saavy and it’s good PR, and he’s going to the White House because he lives in a country that is supposed to protect his right to life LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, but still got fucked over by it.

    He broke no rule.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      I agree he broke no rule but the public outcry has PC written all over it. A school official or two and the police acted like jackasses when they knew it wasn’t a bomb. They pushed the envelope. It should have never been a public story.

        I’m tired of wrongs getting swept under the rug because someone doesn’t like the idea of PC, which is code for: “I value my own selfish right to say ‘Oriental’ over the feelings of several billion people who find that term offensive. “

      • Jahndoh30's avatar Jahndoh30 says:

        It should have never been a fucking story. Not “a public story”. That implies it should have been swept under the rug because we 1st worlders don’t like to have to face the reality that there’s actual racism in our ranks.

    Jahn, what I meant is it should have never have been an issue. Not sweeping it under the rug. The jackasses should have known better and it should have only been a school matter for about 5 minutes. No police.

      I Swear to cow, i had no clue the O word was viewed as anything offensive… i will now put that in my do not use box..

      i am a very unfiltered type of person in person, i am semi guarded in conversation until i see what lines are not to be crossed, as in swearing.. i cuss like crazy, but i f i know some is offended by it , i will make a conscious effort to curtail it in their presence… i am also a smoker, and do so in my house, and car.. if we have company that does not smoke/ has children or any issue with i will refrain or take it outside… i am not unreasonable, but i do push the envelope to the edges..

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      I think the whole word change thing is silly, but at the same time I keep up. Not because it is “some how moral” but simply because I see no need to offend anyone unintentionally.

    Last word from me on this..(prolly)

    i have used the O word , in order to NOT offend peoples that i am not sure of their nationality.. IE: I would not want to call a Korean Chinese or vice versa,.. Thus by trying to be non offensive , i would use a “Generic” term.. again i was totally unaware before today that my Non Offensive Generic term was considered a slur..

    • getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

      That was quietly awesome…..btw, if Matthews can keep his mouth quiet too, then he’ll be earning more playing time this season. I like his physicality as a WR, always have….the hands have always been there too, but his mind wasn’t right before….good to see him now have an understanding of the system & sync with the QB.

      • manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

        he had a new baby in the off season did he not ?? part of why he is supposedly more mature this year..

        i also miss the TD Celebrations … TO, Steve Smith, Ocho had some really good ones, although Ocho did go overboard sometimes.. Yet i still appreciated LT just dropping the ball to the ref..

    Yeah, it kinda all fell apart. It started out as 3 of us, but then my son said he didn’t want to go, and just the 2 of us were going to go. Then my wife felt bad, and said she didn’t want to go without my boy. Then it was just me, and then I felt bad because we’re trying to save money for college, and me going to FLA for 3 or 4 days isn’t going to help that any, so I decided to just not go as well. So there you have it. Next year it will happen, and that’s cool with me.

    ————————————————–

    This comment sounds like someone that didn’t watch the game, just looked at the stats and said, WTF is with Miller and 13 carries. The game didn’t dictate more carries, because we didn’t have the ball the entire first half, then in the second we lost a possession when Landry got the punt return TD, and the running game wasn’t working. We really didn’t have enough offensive plays to warrant more running plays. Also when trailing teams tend to throw more to catch up.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Really Steve? What was the score at half? 10-7. It wasn’t 21-0, or 28-0, it was 10-7. I watched the whole game, and as I was watching, I was wondering when we would start running the damn ball.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        The run wasn’t working, even when the holes were there they couldn’t find them. Miller early in the game 3rd and about one was given a decent hole by Albert, so what does he do, he runs to the left of the hole right into the defender, Williams on the 3rd down was more of the same. As soon as Williams got the ball on that 4th and 1, I said WTF, he can’t run it, don’ give it to him on 4th down.

  40. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Steve Millertime’s limited carries were also mostly due to our limited amount of offense snaps over all within our putrid TOP.

  41. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    It’s tough playing on the road in the NFL, especially the first week, so our poor performance was more the norm last week for road teams. Ten. and Cin. were the only road teams that played great the entire game and they were playing a rookie QB, that couldn’t get out of his own way, and the Raiders that lost their QB to injury. Det, KC, Giants, all had good leads, but either gave the game away or hung on.

    Suh pushes inside of pocket into Bortles Lap, causing him to roll right into Cam Wake who pounds Bortles to the turf causing a fumble that is scooped up by OV and taken for a 2nd 1st qtr TD..

      2nd thought — ffr can still make this year’s.

  44. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    “ya’ll are serious. the word oriental is offensive. why? since when?”

    ffr — been a while, but look at it this way……..you now have another word in your quiver.

    Not sure exactly why the change was, but without googling my guess would be because “oriental” is what westerners call people from Asia. You know the whole opium wars and stuff.

    but people from the orient are oriental i just dont see how that is offensive. it is like calling some one from mexico the yard man, it just is what it is.

    yep and up to me if i care about them. at some point in time this whole pc thing got out of control. at some point in time you just say fuck it, if i say something it is bound to offend someone so i am just not going to care any more.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      I keep up with the words cause I like to be polite. In this case “Oriental” has been on the bad list and Asian the one to use for like a decade. Not like it is a mind field out there.

    bingo. that is it. trying to not offend someone usually leads to offending someone. that is why at some point in time you just got to say fuck it. i am going to just be who i am and if that offends you then dont be around me.

    Isn’t oriental just a word for people from the orient just like Asians from Asia? But as we know there are lots of different people from the continent of Asia so that doesn’t really represent who you’re talking about by calling them Asian. That’s how I always viewed it.

    Isn’t oriental just a word for people from the orient just like Asians from Asia?

    that is what i was saying. it would be like someone from Germany being offended you said European. or me being offended that some one says Italians make the best pasta. at some point in time it just gets ridiculous

    and if it offended stangers wife i would try my best to never use the word around her. or if i knew something offended some one i would try to avoid it, but at some point in time you just have to say this is who i am, you dont like it go sit over there.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Right, I think he’s Irish or Scottish or something, some sort of Celt. It’s the same thing to me and not offensive.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      ffr — but at this point I can assure you it would offend most Asians (I’m on their e-mail list) so why use it? It’s not like the N word for African Americans, but it is the word Europeans branded them with (based on the French word for East). But even if you aren’t around an Asian, others will know it is not the word to use. Look at what happened when it was used here.

    I think the best thing to do is ask an asian person what they find offensive about “oriental”. There must be a good reason for it, even if we don’t know what it is.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Actually don’t think she knows the history, but within her family anyone who uses the word is a racist or at least old fashioned like when your great-uncle used the word “negro” even if not meaning anything bad by it.

        You use it about her and you lose points even if she won’t hate you forever (you know how nice she is). And she’s not racially sensitive at all……so why use it?

  68. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Stanger

    I knew it was not an appropriate term, that’s why I mentioned it to Toba. I didn’t really know exactly why other than it was an outdated term.

    ffr — but at this point I can assure you it would offend most Asians (I’m on their e-mail list) so why use it?

    first, i would never use a word around some one who finds it offensive no matter how silly i think it is. second, i have never ever heard anyone ever say the word oriental was offensive (maybe i can get on that email list). i think a few on here today just found out that word was offensive. and finally, once they are chained to my sofa they really dont care what i call them.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      ffr — all cool. I may just be a bit more informed on how the word is perceived by the audience in question based on who I frigging live with.
