Q – I like what I hear from Campbell. I want a more physical team.
But do you think that was the biggest problem with the Dolphins this season?
I noticed in the PC that Campbell generally referred to Xs and Os and avoided talking about them in any detail.
Don’t you think part of the problem with he Dolphins this year is gameday preparation, play calling and just the general design of this team?
I’m just not sure the biggest problem with the Dolphins is winning the physical battles they face. I tend to think running with Campbell, an emotional coach, is a a means to placate fans who criticized Philbin for lacking any emotion.
Pigsgerald
Really good question Piggy. I think that intensity, fire, and desire can mask a lot of issues with schemes, so yes, I do think it should make a substantial difference. The mindset of these players needed to be changed, they seemed to be just going through the motions with Joe Philbin, fair or not.
Of course, I’d love to see us change things up on both offense and defense, and maybe those things are possible by utilizing portions of the offense that best match what Campbell want to accomplish. I’m sure the offensive playbook is massive, so that can easily be accomplished, without necessarily changing OC’s. On the defensive side, this is where intensity itself can make a huge difference. I think regardless of scheme, these players did not like fired up at any time. maybe if they come in fired up, and have some success, it will stay with them for the entire game, and then maybe beyond. Maybe if they have some success, they can finally feel good about what they’re doing.
I’m still hoping they find a replacement for Coyle, but even if they don’t, we’ve seen this defense succeed last year, so he can back to doing more of what he did last year, instead of this read and react defense.
On offense, if Lazor is here, I assume we’ll still be running from the damn shotgun, so I don’t expect a FB, or running from the I-formation any time soon. Devante Parker should be healthy, and we need him to start making a difference! 3 shots at the endzone, and NO Devante Parker? Why the hell do you draft a kid with your first pick in the draft who’s 6’3” 210 with a 36” vertical, if you don’t use him in the red zone? We have Jordan Cameron who is 6’5”, and we throw these ugly fade passes? Either Tannehill has to master that throw, or STOP doing it in the endzone!
I think what Campbell is starting with is getting these players back to caring, and back to playing a physical style of football. When guys start making plays because they’re fired up, it will become contagious. There has been none of that so far this season. Our defense has been bullied, pushed around, and made to look weak by each team we’ve played. the Redskins, if not for the gratuitous nature of their QB Kirk Cousins, the Skins may have killed us, because they ran at will against us. Cousins did them in by turning the ball over. The Redskins ran for 151 yards, the Jaguars ran for 123 yards, but torched us for 273 yards through the air. The Bills again gashed us on the ground for 153 yards, but even worse, Tyrod Taylor shredded us for 277 yards and 3 TD’s, no INT’s. The Jets ripped of 206 yards on the ground, and another 218 in the air, and made Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Fran Tarkenton.
What I’m illustrating here is opposing offense imposed their will against our defense, and we just let them do it. 4 games, an average of 158 yards per game rushing against us. That’s not playoff caliber defense, that’s 1-3 caliber defense. We thought we were going to be dominant, not dominated. Hopefully, Campbell can bring out the beast in our defense.

Q – So should I jump off the ledge now or should I keep watching the Dolphins this year and why?
I would definitely watch Ken! Joe Philbin is a really nice man. He cared, and he gave it his all. He should be respected for that. Unfortunately, his style didn’t seem to inspire the players. I kind of knew that a long time ago. Finally, we have made a change. Frankly, this is the BEST time to watch. Once again, hope springs eternal! We are in a deep hole at 1-3, but all it takes is one win, and then another, and all of a sudden, the season no longer seems lost.At the very least, you have to be curious to see if the tough, young Bill Cowher looking former TE’s coach can fire this team up, and get them playing at a higher level. I know I am. Maybe he said what everyone wanted to hear, that he sees a lack of intensity. I’ve watched this team all year, and I can’t say he’s lying about that.
At this moment, both Bill Lazor and Kevin Coyle are still the coordinators. Campbell did however, hire Al Saunders, a long time NFL coach. Saunders was the HC of the Chargers from 1886-88. He was OC for the Chiefs in 2001-2005. He was assistant HC for the Redskins 2006-2007, OC for the Rams2008, and an offensive consultant for the Ravens in 2009-2010. He then went to the Raiders, where he was OC in 2011, and then spent the next 3 years as a senior offensive assistant for the Raiders. Apparently, Lazor will have some help.
Besides the curiosity, the fact remains we DO have talent on our team. I know it’s in vogue to rip on Tannehill, but this is a guy who has played well for us his first 3 seasons. He raised his rookie season QBR from 76.1 to 81.7 in hi 2nd year. Last year, he raised it to 92.8. I know these are just stats, but he has played better each year, improved without a doubt. Frustration leads to all kinds of things, namely finger pointing. Does Tannehill throw a good deep ball? Does he throw an effective fade pass? NO! But! It won’t improve either until we get some freaking balance in this offense. 65, yes SIXTY-FIVE rush attempts, in 4 games, for 277 yards. Want to feel WORSE??? Subtract 75, SEVENTY-FIVE of those yards, 27 from Ryan Tannehill, and 48 from Jarvis Landry, and the RB’s have given you 202 yards in 4 games. How do you expect the QB to play well with that? Add in the fact that O-line has been quite porous, allowing Tannehill to be sacked 10 times, and I think some of the criticism just isn’t fair. True, he hasn’t played as well last season, but i think it’s unfair to expect much better considering the circumstances. With no run game to complement the pass game, or more importantly, to keep the opposing defenses honest, it’s not realistic to expect much more from the QB. Maybe we should look at the guys who are making personnel decisions. On paper, we have a great WR corps. We traded for Kenny Stills (2014 3rd RD pick), and until last week, he was invisible. We drafted Devante Parker with our 14th pick in the 1st RD, and he has 4 catches for 49 yards, and has been invisible as well. Greg Jennings, once a Philbin great while he was in GB has ben a shell of what he was there. A once forgotten player, one who almost certainly seemed a candidate for being cut has come out and had a very strong season so far, Rishard Matthews. Jarvis “Juice” Landry is the leading receiver, but right behind Landry (28 receptions 270 YDS) is Matthews with 17 receptions, 278 YDS and 3 TD’s). Not Parker, not Stills, not Jennings, Rishard Matthews! With our sieve-like O-line who can’t pass block OR run block, and BTW, just like I TOLD YOU, Branden Albert wasn’t up to snuff so far, this offense is offensive. We have all these nice shiny weapons on offense, but no time or opportunity to use any of them. Maybe Campbell changes that.

from Tim
Q – Now that we fired Philbin and Dan Campbell is the interim HC. Do you feel the season can be salvaged or does the team need more overhaul to get back on track?
Thank you!
I most definitely feel like the season can be salvaged. It’s up to the players to make it happen. If they respond favorably to Campbell, and get their heads out of their asses, I do think they can do it. I know you and I feel similarly about the players, and how/why/if it’s acceptable that they choose when to turn it on and for whom (Which HC), but we’ll see the evidence of such next week, when we square off at home against the Titans. Anyone who attended the Fest in 2012 remembers all too well the drubbing we received at the hands of the visiting Tennessee Titans, 37-3. It was ugly. I really do expect positive results. I think the team will be fired up and ready for their new HC, and usually that can maintain itself as long as the team gets some kind of success early. I think that’s the key. We need to get off to a strong, successful start, something we were unable to under Joe Philbin. If we do this, I think it will lead this team to a victory. It seems obvious that Campbell wants more physical play, and that means both on offense and defense, and running the ball (yeah O Rob!) is the best way to be a more physical team. If you run the ball successfully, you’re controlling the LOS, and that’s something that has been completely absent from this offense.
If we do manage to win next Sunday, then you take one game at a time. You can’t win 5 games in one Sunday, so take the win, and then do your best to win the following Sunday, which is the Fest game against the Texans. This is a team that historically we have struggled against, 0-7 to be exact. There were a few close contests early on with the Texans, in ’03 we lost 21-20, in ’06 we lost 17-15, in ’07 we lost 22-19, and in ’08 we lost 29-28. Those 4 losses we lost by total of 7 points, so we were right there, just couldn’t finish. The last 3 losses were more one sided, in ’09 27-20, in ’11 23-13, and in ’12 we lost 30-10. So this team has it’s work cut out for them, and history to defy as well. Again, you take one game a time, and if we can make history, and beat the Titans and Texans, we’ll be at 3-3, and not out of the hunt as we were at 1-3. Winning becomes contagious, just as losing does, and if we can win two in a row, it may slingshot us to a nice streak, and then we’ll see where we end up. I have not thrown in the white towel, on the contrary, I think we made a necessary change, and now it’s time for the players to take responsibility, and win some football games with a better attitude.

Q –
Whole world is upside down now. Something is going to change big time in terms of game planning. I could see conservative ground and pound, pass happy, blitzes from every angle………sky is the limit.
What do you think one change will be?
Hard to be ground and pound team operating out of the shotgun. Maybe if we make wholesale changes, and bring a FB onto the roster, or bring a TE into the backfield, and Tannehill plays under center, I suppose that’s possible, but Lazor is still the OC, so that would mean a major overhaul on the offensive scheme. My guess is, we stick with the shotgun, but we do have more of an emphasis on the run game, and the extra week (BYE) should allow our best run blocking TE, Dion Sims to get healthy, and his return will help, and pay dividends. I also expect our team to work hard on Devante Parker, and Kenny Stills, and get them more involved in the offense. Last week, Stills had sort of a breakout, with 5 catches for 82 yards, but it’s clearly been the Jarvis Landry and Rishard Matthews show. Juice I expected, but Matthews, no way. I also expect to see more passes to Cameron and Sims, if he’s able to play
I think the biggest change won’t be a scheme change, it will be an attitude change. As I’ve said on the blog, we’ve been a passive team, just letting teams dictate what we do on offense and defense. It’s time for our team to come out physical, and dictate how the game goes. I know we’re going to run more, but unless the scheme changes, it won’t be ground and pound. It doesn’t have to be. I would like to see Tanny under center, so we can run some play action, and maybe that happens, but I’d be surprised. We don’t have to run 40 times a game, but it would be nice if we run successfully for 25-30. That takes the pressure off the O-line, and the passing game, and I think that’s precisely what we need.
On defense, just will, desire and aggressiveness. The D-line MUST create pressure and and must penetrate the backfield. No more read and react. I think we will blitz more as well, and in general, you will see a much more aggressive defense. Tackling is a mentality. You have to be physical and disciplined at the same time, and I’m sure Campbell will have the team working hard on that this week and next week. Time to impose OUR will!

Finsmob Unleashed 
BTW:
I heard on NFL radio that Tannehill denied that whole scout team bs.
He said he actually made fun of us fan’s paychecks…friggin bastard!
I watched the video of him last night. He said he never mentioned anything about a paycheck and he was pissed off someone made that up. He did admit to making a comment about a practice trophy and regretted saying it, but he said he was frustrated at the time. It was a whole lot about nothing.
Stuff can really take off in the media. They talked about it on the radio earlier today in NY and they knew nothing about the facts.
That was kind of my feeling on it from the start. 4 years and the kid never had a negative story about his character. Don’t forget it was Omar that initially reported the story. So we all know how credible the source is.
So, Coyle gone too, great news, but Lazor staying is because its harder to replace an OC mid season, unless of course the HC sorta runs that side too. In our case that guy is already gone. I still wish they would get rid of him, to clear the stink from the team. I still believe there is a chance he doesnt last the season though, especially if he doesnt call the game the way Saunders wants him to. If there is friction between those two, as soon as players acclimate to Saunders, Lazor will go as well.
Saunders has worked with Lazor in the past….but we’ll see if they are on the same page or not.

Albert Breer ✔ @AlbertBreer
All week, as Miami weighed Kevin Coyle’s future, was abundantly clear Lou Anarumo was the right choice to replace him. Very well-respected.
ffr,
it’s more of the “espning” of sports. Did you see how long they clung to the mets pitcher being late to practice. Practice! They couldn’t let it go, it’s like they need a pound of flesh for anything they consider to be the slightest mishap or indiscretion. It makes me sick.
It’s so sensational. They’re doing the same thing about the Knicks coach. As if these people aren’t human.
Go Lou, no more pussified Defense. It’s a
man’sprimate’s gameespning: verb – to exploit and fuck up sports so bad that normal people couldn’t give two shits about what you have to say.
WTG GDP!!! You hit the nail on the head with Anarumo!
Story is from last year vs. the Chiefs and players were not happy with the coaching…..glad it’s finally changing!
http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article2195072.html
I guarantee right before that happened I was screaming “Get rid of it, get rid of it”, followed by shit, dammit, fuck…
Too many defenders in that picture.
LOL, but the way our OL has been, Tanny would be throwing the ball away every down. Can’t blame him for trying to make something happen most of the time in that lame offense.
Brian Hartline (ribs, thigh) remained sidelined at Thursday’s practice.
Both injuries were suffered in Week 4. Aside from a 96-yard effort against Oakland in Week 3, Hartline has been a non-factor this year.
Cleveland has been a non factor this year. But then again so have we.
I like what Pettine did in Buffalo, but he’s been hamstrung with a bad QB situation and a not so good change @ the coordinators spot.
Adios, Coyle. I wonder if he already had his things packed or if he waited and reacted once he got the news…

Dolphins conference call with interim coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to begin at 3:30pm
It’s not all bad. Crowder’s story about the conversation in the bathroom where Crowder asked how Terry is doing and Saban answered “She’d be doing a lot better if you could cover the back on third down”…now that’s just comedy gold right there. He probably wasn’t joking, but I don’t care, a story like that is endearing to me.
Funny story
That Chiefs game pretty much was exactly like every game this year we have played
Obviously teams figured us out
Good point.
Back in the day teams didn’t even get a shot at the playoffs if you didn’t win your divisions. The 1985 Mets didn’t make the playoffs with 98 wins. The bottom line is win your division or win the game.

marlins never won their division yet they have 2 ws titles
They won their series’.
Some one tell Herd that Anarumo was an asst coach at Marshall
Also at Harvard…but I suspect there are no Harvard fans with this group
(Piggy squeals under his breath at his subtle jab)

Guess we’ll need to stuff an apple in his mouth if he keeps it up.
how about Dave Winnestat he started Buffalo going defensively and his specialty was defense.
RANT!
I wonder who these players will stab in the back now…bunch of damn prima donnas. Get ready for some ugly coaching. I’d like to see a few players get their asses fired because they’re the ones playing like they don’t give a shit. Who the hell are we actually gonna be able to hire for next season? This organization is diseased. These players deserve to lose every damn game. Chumps.
Thank god hockey is starting. A sport where the players can actually hit one another.
Coaches have a big input on how players conduct themselves….maybe that ‘culture’ will change under Campbell’s no-nonsense leadership.
You’re not wrong . . .
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Anarumo says this has been and will continue to be a one-gap defense. Some had reported it was two-gap.
I knew they never cared for Philbin, but their job is to perform when called upon. Any less is inexcusable. Unfortunately, we should have gotten rid of Philbin earlier if they were aware of this, and they SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF IT!
It hasn’t always been the same team though.
OK, but either it’s contagious, or there were enough leftovers to poison the new guys. We did have a big changeover roster wise, yet the stink was still there.
Cue the, it’s all Ross’s fault. 😉
gdp
Bull. Every player decides what sort of effort they give on he field. The coaches don’t. Whether you’re playing in high school or the pros. These players deserve as much blame as ANY coach on the team. They could release every single one of them, and I wouldn’t care. They don’t care enough about the fans to take it upon themselves to play hard for us(let alone themselves and their team)…this fan don’t care about them. I never call for people to get fired, but I’m seriously hoping they cut several of these punks. Ya don’t wanna play hard….go sell insurance.
I’ve put a lot of the blame on the players all along. Until they show up on game day I still will.
I thought you was in psychology?
Ok. I just had to get that out. I f’ing hate players who don’t play hard. But I’m better now. Lol
Mike E, yeah whatever is was it didn’t work and here we are. This team just can’t seem to get things rolling.
Attitude reflect leadership captain
The team needs an attitude check….Campbell seems like the type that can bring that about.

Anarumo on 2 gap vs. 1 gap: We don’t play 2 gap here, we haven’t played 2 gap here since I got here. We’re an aggressive attacking front
Now this is confusing, as it’s been reported differently.
It was reported by people who don’t know what they’re talking about. LOL
Do the players know that? Lol

I used to like Go Go’s.

I mean yes – you can argue that the players did a bad job
but can you argue Philbin and Coyle did a good job?
Lets not pretend these guys did not desvere to be fired b/c you witnessed lack of effort last week
We were unprepared in every game
We were worst int he 1st qtr
as a matter of fact we were worst int he 1st half for most of Philbin’s career
The team was woefully unprepared each week
that is on the coaches, not the players
I mean guys – do you really think we have put together an entire team of primadonnas
we shipped Wallace away b/c he was the prima donna
not its the rest of the team
I don;t think so
Lookie here, we finally agree 😉
Let’s hope it gets corrected so we can have some fun with the season.
Man I hope so, I’d hate to see this once promising season fall apart so soon.
This is why I’m glad Ross & Co. made a drastic move after 4 games, and I think it will be for the better, as we know it couldn’t get much worse.
Change is good and Campbell seems fresh and eager to make his mark on the NFL.
Go Phins! Time to respond NOW!
I feel like our defense was full of gaps…lol
Wouldn’t it be nice during games to say stuff like yeah!, nice!, good job dude!, way to go guys!, instead of WTF?, come on!, really guys!, this sucks!? LOL
If I did that in Slatterys everyone would think I was rooting for the opposition…lol
PIGGY: Agree with your analysis. We WERE unprepared EVERY GAME!!! – – But, unlike Ross, it didn’t take me almost 4 years to figure that out!!! Almost ALL OF US AGREE that changes needed to be made. NOW, comes the tough question. DID WE hire the RIGHT GUYS to replace “Clueless Joe” and “Clueless Coyle?” –As usual, I’m gonna say two words;
—————
SHOW ME!!!
—————
As unbelievable as this may sound, we MAY actually be WORSE than we were before!! –OR–We’ll be BETTER THAN WE WERE BEFORE (My current hope). But nobody’s SHOWN ME a damn thing yet against decent NFL teams. –HOPEFULLY, they will a week from Sunday!
————–
ROSS still needs to clean house IF he seriously wants to win a Super Bowl. He needs to bring in Bill Polian, or someone as good as Polian, to pick the NEXT Dolphins’ GM and player personnel director. He also needs this special advisor to take a look at our SCOUTING DEPARTMENT and UPGRADE IT!! THEN, AND ONLY THEN, will we be ready to take on any and all franchises in the NFL and do some serious ASS-KICKING. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I’m pulling for Campbell.
I think we hired the ONLY guys you can hire midseason by hiring from within
At the end of the day I like what they are saying
lets see it in action
I agree and as for Polian, im not convinced he is the answer either. I really dont think you will ever be able to put a finger on a person and say, this, this is the guy. You can only use you best judgement hiring the best candidate available and then giving them every opportunity to succeed. They may not, and that could be said about anyone including Polian.
Too cynical?
THANKFULLY, ROSS’s name is pretty difficult to spell wrong.
Yeah but even at 4 letters – a waste of money asking him to fire himself
Who do you think will fire Ross? There is no firing Ross, there is only getting him to sell, and that pretty much would mean destroying this franchise well beyond the destruction you feel you already see. You would have to run it into the ground and make it something he was losing money on. Is that what you really want?
But nobody’s SHOWN ME a damn thing yet against decent NFL teams. –HOPEFULLY, they will a week from Sunday!

OD, so you’re saying that the Titans are a decent NFL team, and a Win will show you something? 😉

Joe Robbie was considered a bad owner, one of the cheapest at paying for players. Yet with the right coach & drafts, the team went on to be very very successful under his tenure.
Like D said above…it’s all about right guy at the right time & place….kinda like a perfect storm where everything just falls into place.
Every year there 31 other franchises trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it and get better.
Robbie had great drafts before shula arrived also and the players were entering their prime at the time.

Regardless of what you think of them, we had Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells here who had both won two super bowls. It does not automatically mean success somewhere else.
Exactly….everything has to fall into place just right to over come the efforts of 31 other teams trying to get to the same place.

the way i see it about the players effort. if it was an issue and they didnt like the coaches. then i equate it to having a boss you dont care for, you still have to go to work and do your job, but at 5:00 you are out the door, you arent going to stay a min extra. just going to do your job and not put in any extra effort.
i dont think the players quit, just didnt put in the extra effort.

FFR
To add to your point you just made, which is totally valid, when you don’t put forward 100% effort because you’re pissed at your boss, the ones you fuck over the most are your coworkers, because they have to take up the slack. I wonder how Jarvis Landry feels about it.

They’re both still getting paid, things aren’t all that bad.
I don’t feel sorry for them at all. Life in the coaching biz.

yep, the ones who like the boss have to put in more effort. but in the case of the fins it for all practical purposes looked like most didnt believe in philbin

I agree Coyle needed to go, but you have to be able to replace him before you can show him the door midseason. So now we have a HC with no experience, but HC is just a rah rah position anyways, and a DC with no exp., add it all up and you have a hot mess.

Suh is part of the problem.
Several players headed out of town after practice Wednesday to enjoy their bye weekend, either going home to see family or planning to catch their alma mater in action Saturday.
Tackle Branden Albert, though, isn’t going anywhere.
For him, this weekend is all about doing whatever he can to not only get back in the lineup but get back to being the player the Dolphins first saw after they signed him last offseason.
“I’m staying here to keep getting better, keep getting my health better, keep getting everything better and coming back and being the Pro Bowl left tackle I know I could be,” Albert said.
Albert missed the Dolphins’ last two games because of a hamstring injury sustained in the Week 2 game at Jacksonville.
A good sign for the Dolphins was Albert not only practicing Wednesday in the portion of practice open to the media, but also being the first offensive player called when Interim Head Coach Dan Campbell ran the variation of the Oklahoma drill.
When asked whether that drill participation was a good sign regarding his health, Albert replied: “Yeah. I’m energized, me personally. I’m ready to help this team. I’m highly motivated, highly determined. I’m just ready to roll.”
“You just gotta keep going, keep fighting and everybody who is supposed to step up, all the big-time players, including myself, Cam (Wake), (Ndamukong) Suh, Mike (Pouncey), we help lead this team, and that’s what we need to do,” Albert said. “We’re here early in the season and we’ve got a real talented team. I really believe, I really, really believe we will turn this thing around.”
Albert isn’t the only Dolphins player staying in town this weekend. You can add fellow tackle Ja’Wuan James and safety Michael Thomas to the list, although Thomas said he might take his wife for a quick visit to the Keys.
Suh isn’t part of the problem, you’ll see.
Ditto for Tanny! 😉
everything I seen about his play is as advertised during his career. I saw photo where he was holding gatoraide cradle full of gatoraides for his teammates. He’s a professional.
Yessssssssssss!
Like I said, Lazor can stay. Campbell just needs to make start with the run and stick to it…
I also say we will now beat the Titans
FINS 27
TENN 24
GO PHINS!!!
28-20 Phins are back under Dan the Man!
Suh just lead the rebellion against Coyle
Now that he is gone they will start trying
Still gonna give up a few points next week but its better already
Steve,
What we saw on defense the last 10 games was not a hot mess? It can’t get any worse that what we’ve seen recently?
so luck is out again for tonights game. doesnt he have any pocket presence to avoid getting hit and hurt?
LOL, guess his luck ran out.
So some of you are okay with players who decide not to give 100% effort? Really? I’m sorry, I don’t give a flying furry squirrel whether you like the coach….disagree with his philosophy…..don’t like the play calls…whatever. You can ALWAYS be competitive and try hard. If you’re a competitor, how the hell do you go out and go belly up? F’ing joke. Sack up and go win a damn game and stop being little whiny bitches.
The answer is, you can’t fire all the players, but you can fire the coach. I think they should all be ashamed of themselves, but this is the age of sports we live in, where players would rather have 10 decent years and make the $$$ as opposed to having 3 HOF worthy years, and be the best in the sport. Get used to it!
lmao at these idiot ‘experts’ before the season they are picking the fins to contend for the division, now they are ripping them apart for how bad they are. you are the idiot who picked them now dont dare admit you were wrong, just fucking say how bad they are.

lol, do you read the blog the same way you watch games? i have not seen one person on here say they are ok with the players not giving 100%.
ffr

if by tanny you mean every player on the team but landry then you are correct
MikeE,
It sickens me. I guess I gotta start watching the Food Network.

Here’s something for OD —–Now you can SHOW ME you know better than Ross and his advisors
LOL Randy, I watch the Food Network all the friggin’ time!
i used to watch it on cable but now I have direct tv with thousands of channels some with decimals like 6216.7 and I can’t find the dot on remote. I just got my first bill today and it was 487 bucks. I just don’t know about this sattelight thing
ffr,
I’d be in the faces of the OL too. They’re just as much at fault as anybody. You’re hate of them is over the top, but nobody on this team is without blame. Maybe Campbell will actually make Lazor call plays that will allow them to be aggressive….not be under constant pressure going backwards.
He did mention we have to get off our heels and start going through people.
Time to eat…..Hawaiian pizza with pepperoni. Tasty.
‘You’re hate of them is over the top, but nobody on this team is without blame.’
come on randy, you are better then using my lines about you. at least come up with i am just jealous i dont get to stand behind them bent over in their position.
and to be accurate it is my hate of the entire team that is over the top.
What makes a pizza Hawaiian? Pineapple?

NO NO NO. that makes it a piece of bread with pineapple on it. a pizza has meats on it not fruit. randy is just adding the pineapple to it to make is vagina smell better
Randy, though I agree with you that we didn’t see great effort from the players, there is too much coming out about how the team was coached. The defensive players were disgruntled with the scheme/game plan and Philbin didn’t seem to push the team very hard physically or we wouldn’t be hearing Campbell focusing so much on being more intense, physical and using those pads when they’re on.
So let’s hope this team can get back on track and start winning some games.
Rob
They put vaginas on Hawaiian pizza?
LOL, I think it’s ham and pineapple that makes it Hawaiian pizza?
I like ham, but not sure I want pineapple on my pizza.
Holy shit Tim, tomorrow night baby, LET’S GO METS!!!
It’s so cool isn’t it? 🙂
Mike E, I’ve had Hawaiian pizza and it’s pretty good.
Never had it, and not sure I’m interested in trying it either.
Against my own better reasoning I’m looking forward to our next game. And apparently I should have tried a Hawaiian pizza a long time ago, but who knew?
Pineapples Kong, not bananas! lol
Oh, I was thinking vaginas.
Tim
I’m really excited. I know my wife is into it too, which makes it even better. I would ask my sister and her family to hang out, but I have work on Saturday morning.
Very cool!
Did you know Bill Maher is a minority owner of the Mets?
LOL Kong
stop it, just stop it. you cant put pineapple on it and call it a pizza. i thought you fucktards from NJ knew what pizza is.
mike, you can put a vagina on a pizza but it is best on a cheeseless pizza. they hot melted cheese hurts
LOL Rob, I know what GOOD pizza is, that’s why Hawaiian pizza isn’t in my vocabulary.
I do too, but I don’t mind mixing it up at times. Actually my favorite pizza are bar pies, thin crust and crispy. I also like French bread pizza or even on English Muffins. I’m silly like that. LOL
BTW Rob, I know pizza like Randy knows football. 😉
We all float down here
Pennywise for your thoughts?
I like thin crust pizza as well
Mike Francesa was saying today that the defense lead by Suh really were frustrated with Coyle and felt the game plans didn’t make sense. Also that tidbit about not going all out to not hurt RT’s confidence was another thing the team thought was strange and soft.
He said Campbell could be a dynamic coach and don’t be surprised if you see a different Dolphins team coming out of the bye. I hope he’s right.
The bottom line is in our last 8 games we were 2-6, finished 1-3 to end last season and started off 1-3 this season. That’s not a path to mediocrity, that’s the path of a bad team.
Hope Francesa is right. I know he knows Campbell well from his Giant days.

First Update
DOLPHINS-TITANS
Howie 27-24 MIA
GDP 28-20 MIA
GO PHINS!!!
I also like French bread pizza or even on English Muffins. I’m silly like that. LOL
thats it eunuch boy, hand over your pizza card.
I just turned down pizza tonight when my daughter said she was ordering it. LOL
Randy after he eats his Hawaiian pizza.
Tim
No, I didn’t know about Bill Maher. I think there are quite a few minority owners.
Yeah he was on 710 AM yesterday as he is a Mets fan and said he along with others got in on the Mets back in 2012 when Wilpon sold 40% of the team.
Did he mention how much of a stake he has?
No but he wants us to sign Cespedes.
Hawaiian pizza is good, white cheese and spinach pizza is good, loaded pizza is good, vegetarian pizza is good, thick crust is good, thin crust is good.. and I weigh 342 🐷 (Not really- more like 190).
I cannot bring myself to do barbecue pizza or pizza with chicken on it, however.
I’ve had a BBQ pizza with caramelized red onions and chicken on it and it’s fucking awesome.
will one of you jerseytards explain to tim what a pizza is.
if you put bbq on a pizza that is called a bbq sandwich, not a pizza.
I told you I’m silly. I just like food that tastes good. I don’t care if it’s called vagina slop. If it tastes good I’m good. LOL
It would be really nice if the Mets offered Cespedes a contract in the neighborhood of 7 YRS $150M, and he said this is where I want to be, I love it here, and signed it.
He waived that negotiation clause which was a sign he likes it here and NY is not too big for him.
Maybe, it also opens it up to have another high bidder too. Unfortunately, where some teams don’t have any limits, the Mets will. We need him to want to stay here.
Howie, much as it pains me, I’m going to plead the OD defense and say “show me”; though I hope to see evidence of more inspired play, I will not be surprised to see the offense struggle- but as usual, Tanne will be blameless.
24-13 T ypical E ffort? N ah! 🐬
He’s not blameless but he needs some help. Our offense lines up like it’s 3rd and long every down in shotgun and it’s crazy. It just doesn’t work. We’re not taking advantage of his mobility to get things moving and create misdirection with bootlegs, waggles and roll-outs. I know we can’t do that every down, the problem is we don’t do it at all.
Mike E, if we offer Cespedes the money he’s seeking he’ll sign here. He’ll make a ton more in endorsements and will be big with the Hispanic community.
I hope so, but what he wants might get expanded by say Texas, Anaheim or even the Yankees by $25M.
