Wait Prawny Wait!!! Don’t do it….we need a wrap up…
Thankfully I convinced this shellfish to hold off his NFL depression to give us a wrap up…
Oh…what’s that about the game? Um…yeah probably not going to make anyone feel better to review it…but…
In this pic, Prawny points out to us that the defense immediately assumed the position once again
The Dolphins gave up 207 yards on the ground in the game. 166 of those years were a career high by Chris Ivory, who plowed through defenders like Suh all game for extra yardage. I don’t know how many yards after contact Ivory had….probably a ton.
For the 4th time this season (every game) the opposing team went up early in the 1st quarter. The Dolphins have been down at least 2 scores from the start of the game in every game this season.
And it’s not just the run defense. There is no pressure on the QB consistently. Some people question whether Wake even suited up…but he did…he just got lost in the sun
The Dolphins did not have a sack on Sunday. They have 1 sack this year.
The Dolphins could not stop Brandon Marshall either. Marshall had 128 yards on 7 catches. He caught a 58 yard pass early which caused most of us to pound our head into the wall.
The Little Prawn has a proposed solution which he demonstrates in this pic.
I HATE YOU BRANDON MARSHALL!!!
Moving on to the offense, it wasn’t good either. Just 226 yards total offense. The Dolphins avoided any major turnovers in the first half of the game but they didn’t move the ball at all.
The Dolphins game plan is basically to make sure they get short yards on one of the two first downs, zero yardage on another of the first two downs, then throw beneath the first down marker and hope a receiver breaks a tackle. Sometimes it works…but its hard to string together a touchdown drive when this is the plan. As Dan Fouts pointed out all game – you are asking your receivers to do a lot!
The good news is that we finally used Kenny Stills. Who caught five passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Stills really can’t be blamed for any of the offensive woes this season. The team is just not using him. When they finally targeted him on Sunday it paid off.
And this guy caught another Touchdown! That’s 2 for Stoneburner. Prawny loves his name!
One guy that always plays hard is Jarvis Landry. Look at him leap says Prawny! Landry lead the team in special teams yardage, was 2nd in receiving yards and lead the team in rushing yards.
The fact that Landry lead the team in rushing yards is not a good thing. The fact that he did it on 2 carries is even worse. The fact that Miller had only 7 carries is enough to drive any Dolfan crazy. The running game has been horrible this year. The Dolphins take themselves out of games early but even in the redzone late in the 4th quarter, they refuse to run the ball.
Speaking of letdowns in the 4th quarter…for a little while it seemed like the Jests and the officials were opening the door for the Dolphins to steal a game where they were thoroughly dominated. But Tannehill’s touch in the redzone was as awkward as a priest in a playground. It wasn’t happening.
Tanny was sacked three times and under a lot of pressure all game. He finished completing 19 passes on 44 attempts for 198 yards. He had two touchdowns and two interceptions. Those two interceptions were in the redzone.
It was enough to make Philbin’s blood boil…well maybe not.
I feel the same way Coach! The good news is we can all sleep in next week.
I guess we will see what happens this week…

stanger,
no idea who simon is. i was just posting a tweet i read.
He’s the guy who used to be the leader of the draft winds series that Hyde let posted on his blog. Dude knows ten times more about draft prospects than more of us while writing from the UK. Nice and smart guy…….just saying he doesn’t have the number for the bat phone line into Davie.

Philbin fought for his friend Kevin Coyle’s job til the very end. Do we respect that? Or do we chide it.

i agree with this. philbin seems like a good guy but horrible coach. i can respect him fighting for his coach.
the job is really not about being a good person or not
I never assume that some one is not a good person bc they didn’t perform well
Well Jim Schwartz is a bit of a jerk and wasn’t a good HC yet there are people here calling for him to be out HC.
My guess is the new DC will be LBs coach Mark Duffner, he has a lot of coaching experience and was a HC in college.
At least we have a bye week to get some of the new coaching in place and maybe somehow they can salvage the season.
Still 12 games to go. Win another 8 or 9, anything is possible.
Last team to make the playoffs after changing head coach in mid season is the 1961 Houston Oilers.
I can respect Philbin the person and still hate Philbin the coach. Ecstatic to see him gone but I wish him well.
Right where I come from. Seems like a guy who you would want as the godfather of your kid. Wouldn’t want Vince Lombardi to be that……but I would like him as my HC.
piggy,
i will take it one step further. i dont care if he is a jack ass dick head just as long as he gets the team to win. i think ryan fits the JADH mode but if he got the fins job and got them to be a winner then i would like he was coaching the fins.
regarding philbin, i was just making a comment on someone else’s tweet.
I think Lazor stays because it’s difficult to change philosophies in-season especially for the QB. Now changing some stuff up is not out of the question.
So when Coyle follows Bazooka Joe out the door, who will be DC?
I’m thinking Mark Duffner, but Lou Anarumo may be a good candidate too.
Beer please. 🙂
I’m sorry, did you mentioned Anarumo?
Try, changing a HC and other coaches is never a good thing in-season and means a lot of things aren’t going well so I’m not surprised an interim coach rarely or almost never has had a playoff season.
Neither am I- just giving information.
There’s a first time for everything….why not us. Time for the luck to change in Miami….lol
It is a sign of some serious disfunction inside the team that we only have gotten glimpses of. This is about things going real bad and setting up for the future much more than making the playoffs this year.
INTERESTING to hear the NFL NETWORK CREW discussing how Ross has botched firings and hirings in the past. ONE of them said this franchise really needs to bring in an outside consultant b/c Ross has shown he’s in over his head on issues like this.
————
PER Brian Billick of NFL Network. The last time an interim coach got his team to the playoffs was 1951.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/oti/1961.htm
That’s cause most interim’s are coming in late in the season when there is virtually no chance to make it to the playoff.
We still got 12 games, 3/4 of a season to go. That’s rare for a coaching change so early.
So anything can happen. Especially on ateam with a lot of talent.
the chances of making the playoffs with a interim coach are pretty much slim to none. hasnt been done in over 50 years.
the chances of making the playoffs with philbin were none, it had never been done.
i take the slim to none odds
I still want to know the story on Campbell being the choice. Was Ross walking by him on the way to the bathroom and was like, “Hey Rizzi, I just let Philbin go. Do you think you can step up to the plate and be HC?” And then he was all, “Sure thing Mr. Ross, but I’m Dan Campbell. I coach the TEs. All two of them” and then Ross was like, “Oh Rizzi, now’s not the time for jokes do you want the job or not?”
I think it’s because Campbell is an intense guy and they’ve seen him on the practice field working with the players. Ross probably feels he needs someone to light a fire under this team. There are no big time options.
The arm wrestled for the job and Campbell came up on top
GD, I said Duffner as DC.
I said Duffner, he’s an obvious one, but I think Anarumo is being considered too.
I know I said it first. The whole beer thing we do here. 🙂
Try
We have similar colors to the Houston Oilers, and even share the same tune as them for their fight song, so there’s that . . .
I’m not trying to kill hope- but knowing the likelihood of an event happening can help keep some in check.
..including me.
Like Stanger said, it’s more about setting up for the future. This team is not on a playoff run at this time anyway. Getting the team to play better and go from there is the goal.
Tim, you know how this place is- people are all “Philbin is the man” and “We’re gonna ‘Lazor’ in an offense no one can stop” and then.. “They suck!” and “I never wanted them anyway!”.. I’m not a cop, but occasionally I don’t mind conducting traffic on a blog…
Maybe Campbell will just make Suh the DC since he watches so much film and everything is different now. 😉
I just want Campbell to look at Suh when he wears sneakers to practice and say “put your fucking cleats on”.
GD, Lou Anarumo could be an option as well.
Give me my beer back then! 😈
No it doesn’t work that way. I didn’t say Lou Anarumo after you, I just agreed with you. 🙂
Man am I getting old.
First there was — “hey I’m as old as some of the players”
Then there was — “I’m older than anyone playing.”
Now there is — “I’m older than my head coach.”
Campbell is 39.
I’m older than the NFL, what are you worried about? lol
LOL
Try, well I supported Philbin and wanted him to get his 4th year but it didn’t work. I haven’t liked Lazor’s system since I first saw it and hoped for the best. I don’t like a lot of shotgun but that’s what we run so no point in pining for something that’s not going to be. I hope Campbell instructs him to find more bread & butter plays and stick with it instead of trying to do too much. A good start would be to commit more to the running game.
I’d just like to see some accountability at this point- from the top down.
That too. I still see poor effort from too many players.
I did too- and I think part of the problem there is they were not being held accountable. Sit a guy when he does not produce, even if the replacment is not as good. People got too comfortable- no one ever seemed to feel their job was on the line, that they can be replaced.
Well I guess we will find out if it was Joe or the players now!
I bet you see the players rise up….the coaching & schemes are very flawed….the players knew it, and rebelled in major to mostly subtle ways.
I checked to see the reaction over at the old/other blog….but seems the site was ousted along with Bazooka Joe. 😯

well then here. let me go ahead and be the first to say it. dan campbell is horrible, i want him fired now.
(just trying to get a head start on everyone, i want to be able to look back and say ‘i was the first to tell you all’)
LMAO, I want Dan Campbell’s successor fired as well as the new Dolphins owner when he takes over in 2021….they both suck.
Now I’m ahead of you, OD, & Gigi. 😉
“We’ve been going out there, and practicing our (tails) off every day, but as players, we’re tired of being embarrassed,” one member of the Dolphins told Getlin last week. “If we get beat in Europe, (players) are going to throw in the towel. It isn’t the players. We have all the talent in the world.”

Well Jay is Happy?
Jay Glazer @JayGlazer 4m4 minutes ago
Dan Campbell is a rockstar of a coach! Being a HC is a different animal but as a coach who connects and gets it Campbell is a STUD!
Glazer like a donut.
Hope so! He’s known to be intense and gets a lot out of his group.
FFR
We should see it in the intensity of the play!
If the players hated Joe and his systems and were dogging it out of frustration, then it should be easy to see the difference!
If they still can’t tackle or rush the passer? Well then Clean the whole fucking Stadium out and start again with Landry and 50 others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“If the players hated Joe and his systems and were dogging it out of frustration, then it should be easy to see the difference!”
That’s fucking lame on the players part at this point in the 2015 season. I also don’t feel all of the players played poorly, but a lot of them did, in all phases.
You could say Campbell is responsible for Clay’s development and he’s the Bills most dominant receiver right now. He’s balling. Campbell started under Sparano in 2010 and intern coach and then has been the TEs coach for the last 5 years so it’s not like he just started coaching yesterday.
He’ll be a young players coach that the players will hopefully really go to war with/for, especially knowing they have 3/4 of a season left….12 games….that’s plenty of football to turn things around and maybe get into a wildcard hunt.
so philbin and coyle are out, i guess the only big question left about the remainder of the season is:
Does brian attend the fest or not?
wyoming,
ok but if they still suck and cant tackle, rush the passer, block for tanny and the running game, does that mean firing philbin was wrong and he is a good coach?
After the Jets game I’m on board that Joe didn’t instill confidence in the team so he had to be fired. But the players still have to take responsibility for their performance too. They’re friggin pros not HS kids.
Let’s rally around Dan Campbell. Go Dan!!!
You owe me a beer.
I already said Go Dan !!! above.
Fine, I’ll buy you 4 pints as credit. LOL

So, Campbell has been given the authority to fire Coyle is he chooses according to Barry Jackson. Nasty.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 1m1 minute ago
… Darren Rizzi also was considered but Ross had conviction on Campbell after internal discussions.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 2m2 minutes ago
… Campbell has been given authority to fire Coyle if he chooses… Campbell will be considered for permanent job if team wins a lot.
I would have chosen Rizzi, and promoted Campbell and Duffner to OC/DC. I said that before they fired Philbin.
Tis is my think with the idea of keeping Lazor, i get that you dont want to make those kind of changes, but he wasnt solid enough to promote to HC, so they see he is part of the problem. If he is part of the problem, then why keep him and hinder your new guy.
Worst thing that can happen with replacing Lazor is the team loses offensive cohesion and they look bad, uh hello i think we are already there with Lazor, so you change nothing. Replacing him though lets Campbell do what he thinks is best, and use the talent the way he thinks they should without some other dude fucking things up for him.
Also, if he does make Lazor do it his way, and his way is going to be a change of philosophies, then whats the difference than firing Lazor and promoting another guy to his position. Doesn’t Campbell have an assistant under him, would that be the best pairing for a new HC to have someone that can work with him as they have in the past, come up with good strats and then execute them together? Or worst case scenario, just let Campbell be OC/HC and run that side of the ball.
I find it hard to think they’ll bag both the OC and DC…..too much turmoil. Must be interesting for Lazor though. The guy who used to report to you is all of a sudden your boss. I’ve seen promoted to the same level situations, but never that.
I agree its a lot of turmoil, but what do you call what we have with them….
Just would be different if it was the offseason and not a game two weeks away. Blowing up the whole structure would be crazy.
Ross probably has shaken Dan Campbell’s hand a couple times.
Ross might have decided that Philbin had to go, but the choice of our new HC is all Tannebaum.
I’m the 4th guy on the right
Thought you might have been the random hand you see jutting up from the bottom row, it was a somewhat attractive hand….
Your not the guy with the red robe and tablets?
Nah, just a bystander. This week I’m a BYEstander.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 2m2 minutes ago
… Campbell has been given authority to fire Coyle if he chooses… Campbell will be considered for permanent job if team wins a lot.

Not so fast. Word is that Joe often turned to Rizzi for advice.
Rizzi’s unit is playing inspired football and is the only unit doing so lol. To me it makes the most sense but you know ST isnt the star of the football team unless you suck as bad as we do.
STs have been solid. Not an issue there. The two big units have played sub par for sure.
now this is called having nothing to do and just making shit up
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/dolphins-fans-want-nick-saban-to-replace-joe-philbin
D, it’s really difficult to change the entire staff especially both coordinators. You’re getting a little to ahead of things at this time. They have a week to figure this all out and then prepare for a game.
I still say it’s a case of mistaken identity.
D, now that Campbell is HC, if he fires Coyle which is the more likely of the two coordinators, then if he did also fire Lazor or demote him, I’d go with O’Keefe as OC. He’s done well with the WR’s, is a longtime offensive mind and coach.
Sounds way better to me than keeping Lazor.

That’s something I want to point out too. I read stuff earlier about bringing in a guy to run the ship for Ross. He did that this year with Mr. T. I do not think he’s going anywhere. He hired nobody on the coaching or personnel staff. This won’t fall on him. The next phase will though.
??????????????????????????
PhinsPhocus.com @Phins_Phocus 1m1 minute ago
Entire O-line takes a beating week in and week out and then gets blamed. Campbell knows O-line. Trust me, it will get fixed.
Who is this?
Campbell does remind me of Bill Cowher though, they look like they could be brothers. LOL
If you wanna establish a running game on offense, then promote Jeff Nixon to OC….he’s done well with Bush & Miller and did real well in Philly with Brian Westbrook, Shaddy McCoy, & FB Leonard Weaver.

Loyalty is a great thing but when you are the head coach your obligation is to the team and not to your friend. You lobby for him if you think he is the best guy to do the job, you don’t lobby for him because he is your guy. You have to make the decision as to what is best for your team not for your friend. Nuff said.
FFR
That is just to lure Satan back to FL!
That prawn looks like satan himself….lol
Campbell will likely insist we simplify everything and get back to the basics and go from there.
I thought our defense was simplified.
This is why you don’t give up on the run early! Read the first several sentences!
_____________________________________________
Todd Gurley rushed for 146 yards on 19 carries in the Rams’ 24-22, Week 4 win over the Cardinals.
He added two catches for 15 yards. It looked like it was going to be another long day for Gurley and the Rams’ running game behind a brutal offensive line; Gurley started out with five carries for negative yards, but absolutely went off in the second half, picking up chunk gains of 23 yards, 13 and 52 to seal a victory for St. Louis. He helped bleed the clock for the Rams late in the fourth quarter by picking up first downs and consciously making sure he stayed in bounds at all costs. His open-field speed and vision were on full display in this one. Gurley is going to have up-and-down days behind this group of blockers, but possesses the talent to overcome it at times.
Campbell wants more intensity.
I actually like what he’s saying.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Dan Campbell said he’s going to evaluate the OC and DC to decide whether to retain them. What evaluate? Players hate DC.
Dan Campbell said team hasn’t going at each other enough during the week. “I feel like there’s a lot more we can get out of these guys.”
Thank Heavens!
Now who the Hell is Campbell, dont sound like the name I got on the D-line coach so he must be the Crappy O-Line coach
Or let me guess. since Ross blew it with our old DB coach (Bowels) he will try again with this one…
former TE & was Dolphins TE coach….now he’s our HC….support him for next 12 games.
He was a back up TE for a few teams in his playing days. I believe the Giants were one of them.
I was calling for Rizzi since his unit is the only who can stop anyone and actually pick up positive yardage.
But maybe its a good thing cause once the off-season comes around he would be good as gone.
Now there might be a slim chance we can retain him.
GO PHINS!!!
“When you get the most out of your players is when they have to compete during the week.Want the most out of them, challenge them” Campbell
“It was a little surreal, but I’m excited to accept the challenge,” Dolphins coach Dan Campbell said. “I know what it needs to look like.”
Campbell: I”m ready for this. I can do this.
“There are different ways to challenge these players, and I’m going to do that,” Dan Campbell said.
“They need to see that this is the way that I want it. I’m going to talk the talk, and walk the walk,” Dolphins coach Dan Campbell.
“I’ve built relationships with these players throughout the year.I feel like I have a good understanding,a feel of these guys,”Campbell said
“I’m not here just to finish the season out. That’s not my plan. We’re coming here to win games,” Dan Campbell said.
“It’s still early. We have time to turn it around. We have plenty left, but we can’t wait,” Dolphins interim coach Dan Campbell said.
Well, Campbell is young, which I like (relate to younger players), and he said the accountability was lacking (i.e., competition was not there, guys just showing up). The dude is also in decent shape, so he’s not likely to be intimidated by anyone, at least physically
Thanks GDP
I certainly will and who knows he might just turn this thing around and be our guy for a long time.
Only if he gets rid of Coyle though cause you know our guys arent trying at all with him up in the booth
GO PHINS!!!
Welcome bro….and I think Coyle is gone.
Dan said he wanted a lil time to make decision’s on the rest of his staff. But he knows that players aren’t relating to Coyle much at all.
“A team that isn’t playing conservative and isn’t holding back. We’re going to play by the rules, but be much more aggressive,” Dan Campbell
“Bill Parcells had a huge impact.I learned a lot from Bill.Nobody was better suited to deal with players. Everyone respected Bill,” Campbell
Just my guess — but I’m thinking that Ross/Tannenbaum are hoping they hired the younger version of this. Inspirational, back to basics and fiery.
UGGG hey just said he learned a lot from fatcells. great that means he will build the team to be a half way decent team then walk away and abandon them.
Parcells was a good coach & mentor….but was just along playing Czar when he got to Miami….didn’t mean he forgot about football.
Great coach.
Wow – just heard that while doing walktrhoughs in London, scout team was picking off Tanne passes, and he told them to enjoy their practice squad paychecks, which pissed off the defense, who started to come after him- coaches had to come in and break them up. I heard this has been reported in papers over the weekend. Who’s got the scoop?

Some fire from Tanny, ya gotta like that.
Everybody on both sides of the ball were frustrated at somber Joe’s way.
I don’t like it- as the leader of the team, you should be a better example, not demeaning guys who are on the periphery of the team.
I hope that’s not accurate. If it is, I’d tell Tanny to get his shit together this week, or Matt Moore will play the rest of the the season
I really like that he wants to get involved with the players. Get them motivated properly. I know a bunch of you don’t think that should be necessary, but I do, and I’m glad he does as well. Huge Philbin shortcoming IMO
He seem the polar opposite of Philbin demeanor wise. More suited for in your face football instead of ‘excuse me, but do you have any Grey Poupon’.
Loved when Campbell said “we’re not going to play conservative. we’re going forward and we’re going thru you”
Whoa! I think a lot of people liked what they heard from Campbell. Without disrespecting Philbin he touched on that this team didn’t prepare the way he would do it. Maybe that’s why Stoneburner is being productive on his unit out of nowhere. I loved his message, let’s hope he can do it.
He also looks like he could still play. LOL

fatcells was an overrated useless blow hard. he had good players when he coached the giants and was able for a few years to get some of those players to follow him to other teams. once they retired he was useless. tell me one place he did anything other then with the giants. he was nothing but a fat fucking ego that was over hyped and over paid.
So now it’s back to personnel over coaching….lol smh
You’re so off here. The Pats went to the SB and the Jets to the AFC Championship game. He got Dallas out of the doldrums. He’s a HOF coach. You don’t have to like him but you’re way off on his coaching prowess.
GDP
You call that fire from Tanny? I call that stuck up rich fat QB bullshit who thinks he’s better than the rookies. It all depends on context, but I’d rather Tannehill come back and burn him with a TD than tell him to enjoy his PS paycheck. Pussy shit I say!
I’m with you Try, I also don’t like that one bit.
I agree that is pretty bullshit if that is true but you have to know the full context. Was he being taunted by the scout team players? Is there a history between he and the players involved? I have not read the stories yet. It seems out of character for Tannehill to have done that but if he did it is a bullshit thing to do.
Campbell said all the right things but truth is he is in a very difficult situation. Likely things get worse before they get better. Campbell is essentially auditioning for future HC jobs. He is an interim guy until Tannebaum can get his guy into the job. This is going to be an ugly year.
I’ll take the wait and see approach over predicting the worse before it even happens. If this team is that talented we should see a change.
No team really does all that well when changing a coach in the middle of the season. It’s almost like you have to strip things down to rebuild and undo the damage that has been done. I think it was the right thing to do but I am not expecting any miracles out of this change. This is going to be a long painful season.
I don’t know man. I think Mike T found his Rex Ryan in Miami.

Mike & Try….LOL….you guys act like Tanny is the first player to ever talk trash to another player, sheesh.
That defense needs some kinda motivations.
You act like he doesn’t have a responsibility to be above the childish shit and lead the team from the front, not follow the lowest common denominator.
..besides the fact that the story claims Tanne was only acting pissy because they were picking off his passes.
We don’t know the true details and when a team is overly frustrated then things get said…big deal.
Ryan Tannehill has reportedly been frustrated with his play in practice, so Joe Philbin told practice squad players to take it easy on him.
Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports
I know when it comes to Tanne, you are quick to come to his defense, so I should not expect that you’d be open to some criticism.
Like I said, it depends on context, but if there was no ongoing taunting from both sides, and he gets picked off, and then tells the rookie PS players to enjoy their paychecks, that doesn’t sound like a team leader to me. It sounds wrong.

bs, the guy left every place after the giants just a shade better then when he got there. he is no genius. it is just my opinion but i find him vastly overrated.
You’re overrated, I’m overrated, this whole damn blog is overrated!
He got the Giants 2 SB rings when he was with them. I think that is a little better than a shade better from their last championship being in the 1950s.
GDP would you like an application to join the TDS?
LOL
Sounds like a bad form of a communicable disease…I’ll pass, but thanks….enjoy your TDS.
too bad, the membership is growing and the wagon is leaving soon
Ok, maybe Campbell’s first move is to cut/bench Tannehill over hurting some guy’s fragile feelings.
There you go- hyperbole over discussion when it comes to your boy. Have at it. And I could agree with you if he was saying it to Suh or Wake or Grimes… but to the practice squad guys? That’s leadership?
so i have this right. most on her bitch tanny shows no emotion, he acts like he doesnt care, but when he steps up and shows emotion he is wrong and should keep his mouth shut. just want to make sure i have it right?
There is showing emotion and then there is being a bitch. If he did what is alleged that’s being a little bitch and not showing emotion or showing the wrong emotion. I am as big of a Tannehill supporter on this blog and that rubs me the wrong way.
All I am saying. The leader of the team has a higher standard to uphold.
Nope, not right. I want him to show emotion and leadership, and if a few PS guys are getting the best of him, maybe he should pat them on the back, tell ’em they did a good job, but to be ready next practice, because he’s gonna torch them. That’s showing leadership and emotion.
He probably did that but that didn’t make good reading to end the article with….or editor cut that out, saying I can’t sell hits with this lame story….lol
good thing Dan Marino was a southern gentleman to his fellow players. 🙄
Can you see through those glasses?
Marino had earned everyone’s respect. Tannehill isn’t there yet. JBH
Hey, I know Tanny isn’t perfect or the second coming of Joe Montana….but come on, let’s make this a witch hunt on our QB too…lol smh
And comparing Marino to Tanne is like comparing Shula to Philbin.
FFR, agree to disagree about Parcells. His history speaks for itself as a HC. He’s in the friggin HOF. LOL
Parcells was a great coach. He may have been a dick but he was a great coach. By the time he got to our FO I think he had checked out somewhat. I think he was more interested in the south FL lifestyle than running the organization. He checked out of his duties as soon as contractually was feasible after a nice pay day.
I’m just talking about him as a HC. FFR has forgotten his other successes as a HC outside of the Giants.

He got the Giants 2 SB rings when he was with them.
yes, i agree. i stated as a coach of the giants he did good. i said nothing after, after that he did nothing special and is just an overrated fat blowhard.
I see we have new drama going on. I’m not getting into that one. Dan Campbell and his new phase is my focus, Go Dan!!!
OK, no point discussing the Tannehill practice situation, it’s done already. He needs to play better along with the rest of the team.
Correct, Thanks for returning to earth….welcome back. 😉
Only a discussion when people are willing to, you know- discuss. But whatever. No one on this damn team is above reproach- the higher up the chain you are, the more blame you get and the more responsibility to the product on the field you have.
You’re not much of a condescending ass, are you?

You’re overrated, I’m overrated, this whole damn blog is overrated!
wow, guess you never been to a fest and got to shake The Hand. there is absolutely nothing over rated about The Hand, ask any married man on the blog.
tim and ken,
i just said he was a good coach, he was average at best at the front office stuff
He sucked at the FO. No argument from me on that.
He was a turd in the FO, but was a force as a HC back in the day.
mike,
i only pointed it out cause it is a constant with the qb. seems everything on any team is always the qb’s fault, whether it be good or bad.
we have no idea what happened, if the practice team player was in tannys face or if it was tanny being a dick but since he is the qb lets just blame him.
Aaron Wilson of NFP reports that on Saturday, Tannehill said “Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy” to practice squad players after they forced several turnovers. Frustrations have reportedly been boiling over for Tannehill over the past few weeks as he’s thrown interceptions in practice.
You know what, forget I posted that. It’s just not fucking worth it.
All true FFR – I don’t think I’m a Tanne-Hater, I’m pretty objective with him, at least I think I am. I just didn’t like the vibe of that story.
Maybe Lauren wasn’t giving him any nookie until they won again. Hell, I’d let my frustrations boil over too. 😀
Why does anyone care about Parcells right now anyway? Because Campbell learned a lot from him and respects him? You’ll find hundreds of NFL players, execs, coaches etc. who respect Parcells.
Dan Campbell is his own man and he touched on everything I’ve been seeing with this team – losing physical battles and not contesting enough plays. The last thing I wanted to hear is we’ll stay the course and keep pushing with what we’ve been doing. He’s more intense than Philbin and I think this team needs that now because they look anything but intense.
Everyone is in pick everything apart mode right now…it’s to be expected after a 1-3 totally embarrassing start.
Of course. But there is only so much you can do in-season. Like I said before, Campbell has a different view on practice habits than Philbin did and the lack of physicality part of it showed up in every game thus far. That’s what has to change fast. We get pushed around on both sides of the ball too often.
Ken I disagree with you on Parcells, Ross should have paid him what he owed him on the spot and resigned him to another contract, instead he left him working for free for a year with promises never having any intention of resigning him, I don’t blame Parcells for moving on and wondered why it took so long. he should have quit and got his contract paid in full the day Ross took ownership.
Parcells was a run first coach that wanted to control the clock, exactly what we need right now.
it will be interesting to see if this new coach pays more interest in a running offense than this dink and dunk crap.
In NE he threw the ball more than anyone as well. People forget that and think he’s 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Not true. His philosophy was pass to score and run to win.
i disagree tim bill had a run control offense, first with otis anderson then with curtis martin in NE and NY

If that was meant for me, then all I can say is glass house with that kinda statement brother….SMH
Have no idea what you’re talking about, and could care even less.
Ok, cool.
Awesome! I should post from Europe more often. First on the blog for the first time ever and philbin gets fired. 7 months too late.
I like philbin and wish him best of luck.
try,
i read that on twitter earlier today and thought it was such an non bs story i didnt even post it over here. guess i was wrong, guess it is a big deal here.
i will just wait and see if any more facts come out before i am going to make judgement with infor from some guy and organization i have never heard about.
I never said it was a “big deal”. I asked if anyone heard about it. the qb of a team has a responsibility to lead by example. Don’t piss on the little guys. You wanna mock someone, mock an equal, not the guy way down the chain. But some people get carte blanche, apparently. Not worth it. I never said to kill him for it, said I don’t think he should be saying such things.

that is my fault. i was just making a sarcastic smart ass comment about him saying he likes parcell. i was just king of playing around and it got out of hand. sorry about that. actually him learning and taking a lot from parcells the head coach is a great thing.
once again sorry i brought it up
Tanne can go eat a dick with an attitude like that. He has been playing like shit The PS guy probably made that really apparent and instead of bucking up he mouths off a very demeaning insult at them. They should have said to him, “Well looks like you have already started enjoying your totally undeserved one.” Learn to read a defense.
Also i say, promote the PS guy he’s probably better than McCain. Im guessing it was Dowling. By end of the year id like to see Dowling and Lippett on the field. We should cut Grimes and Wake at the end of the year, open some cap room for the new coach, Vernon can be let to walk as well and we can draft Nkemdiche in the first round, without the trade up i assumed we would have to previous to our epic let down.
i dont know about you guys, but if boulder makes a post from europe and philbin gets fired i am thinking that if he moved to moscow the dolphins may never lose again. if he was any kind of fan he would make that commitment
Boulder, can we get you to take another trip and post about Coyle and Lazor too.
Siberia preferably 😉
Philbin couldnt manage this team well. I liked him, i stuck up for him for a long ass time. He is the kind of guy you want to succeed, but he didnt and thats all there is to that.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
A regular criticism I’ve heard is that players don’t like the preferential treatment Suh has gotten. It’s gonna be a fun 12 weeks.
when bill first came to miami he solidified the OL and worked ricky and ronnie, and that was the last time this team had seen the post season.
try,
and i never said not to kill him or to kill him for it. i said i will wait to see if more infor come out about it. not just react to some guy i have never heard about before.
If Campbell can light fire under these guys and get us to 8 wins he should get a contract.
I’m very disappointed in both Suh and tanny’s leadership. It seems like they took the money and ran. They need to show they’re worth the money we gave them the rest of this year.
Lol @ fffr. I’d move to Siberia if it’ll help us win the Super Bowl.
