Are you ready for some Pokey?
I know what you are thinking. No Colonpokey, stay away. I’m a rational fan. I will not be bending over for you. Go somewhere else to someone with unrealistic expectations.
You might be right. You are coming off a 6-10 season. You fired your very disappointing coach, you may be just one year removed from defending that coach. So his failure was particularly devastating to you.
You are a great fan of the Dolphins. But you will not fall for it this year. Not this year! I will wait and see what happens.
Let’s see it on the field right Dolphans?
That is very logical thinking. The sort of thinking that helps you avoid a little pokey this season. It makes perfect sense that you are thinking that way now. Its practically biological. Let me show you. This is a photo of a normal human heart. Looks normal to me.
But a Dolphan…
well their heart looks a little different. Look at this! Look at what you have done with your heart! Heart break after heart break every season. You have followed this team so intensely and with such passion your heart looks like Rosie O’Donnell.
Once your heart goes O’Donnell its so ugly its broken and can’t be broken again.
So you are safe from pokey right. WRONG! Do not underestimate the s
eduction of pokey.
I have something to tell you about. Dion Jordan is eligible for reinstatement.
I will say it again. We might get Dion Jordan back!
Want to hear more don’t you?
Oh…heehee…come in…the water is warm. Can you pick up the soap I dropped. Heehee…don’t worry, I will be gentle, at first…
What? Why so standoffish? Don’t be so shy?
Oh I know…I know. You aren’t falling for that. You expect nothing from Dion Jordan. This idea that Dion Jordan is a part of this team now…finally after three disappointing years…
After a ear long suspension
following a year when he was suspended for 6 games, following a year when he could not get not he field.
Well that is unbelievable. You may have even taken steps to rid yourself of all Dion Jordan hope. Maybe something of a ceremony involving fire.
But it’s not so simple to forget that potential is it.
He was the #3 pick in the draft! How can the #3 pick be such a dud. Remember when he was drafted? Remember What you thought?
This guy is going to line up on the other side of Wake. He is going to be a beast.
He’s 6’6 with no body fat. Look at the plays he makes in those highlight clips at Oregon.
Dion Jordan will be a cornerstone of our defense.
Okay, so maybe he was not a cornerstone. But Philbin really was a bit queazy when asked to play him as a rookie. He just would not let him on the field. Freakin Philbin…he did it with Miller…So that must apply to Jordan too. That is one reason why Jordan was held back since being drafted.
And then he made a mistake or two in his second year, so he missed 6 games. But he still did’t get any playing time. And then he became a fuckface and missed the entire 2015 year. What a bust!
But ther
e are murmurs of a comeback season now.
He’s been practicing with his good friend and former teammate Kiki Alonso. The two have been dedicated to helping this tam this offseason.
Kiko says Jordan wants to play linebacker. So maybe that was the problem with Jordan…he should have been a linebacker all this time.
No wonder he wasn’t contributing! That’s all some one needs to turn things around. A little support from a friend and a new start. Dion Jordan may just be something in 2016…
Oh…hello there…heehee…looks like you may be warming up to some pokey.
Maybe he sticks at DE and the Dolphins work him in with Wake and Williams to form a formidable edge rush.
Maybe his agent is right, Jordan will be comeback player of the year.
Yeah…I think you are ready for some pokey. Keep holding out a little hope for Dion Jordan Dolphans. Pokey is here to comfort you.
You aren’t so jaded that you have no hope. And where there is broken hope, there is pokey.
Come take a ride we me…we will have a talk…heehee…about it…
Finsmob Unleashed 
No.
UK, is the guinea pig for those fans we have lived with Pokey so long that they are looking for a tighter fit?
LOL Rock. Colonpokey’s MO was the same as the Enterprise …….. to bravely go where no man has gone before. This pig is a Vulcan. He’d rather live long and prosper!
Meet Colonpokey’s other distant cousin and dolfan below. I often feel like this at the end of another season but it soon wears off!
Today’s rodent theme reminds me of a song for the day:
UK out for lunch
Perfect song UK….lol
LOL nice job piggy. I won’t hold my breath for playoffs this year.
This year is just about seeing if RT can take his game to the next level, and if Gase was the right choice. To get to the playoffs other things have to come together too.
LOL @ Piggy and the crazy world of Colonpokey
Dion Jordan coming back would be a bonus if he can help wherever they play him. But the team addressed the offseason as if he wasn’t going to be a part of the team so we’ll see.
Because they can’t talk about him, but you know they know exactly what’s going on.
I was just saying we added quite a few DEs in the offseason and whether or not Jordan plays DE or OLB or serves as a hybrid in different schemes, the team isn’t dependent on him. He would be a bonus.
Well , Well, well the POS hasn’t explained 12 plus hours later what he meant by his comments of the Boston Marathon terrorist act. I guess no one on this blog deserves a explanation. I guess the authorities need to examine the 4 comments with a physiologist who specializes in demented POS’s.
Here’s a number for you guys if you can think of any unusual remarks that he has made beside the 4 comments I have concerning his disturbing terrorist remarks. Oh look, they have a office in Tampa and they just opened… https://www.fbi.gov/tampa

I really do not appreciate you targeting people on this blog like that
You can be offended
You can express yourself
I don’t interfere if people don’t get along
That’s everyone’s business
And you have a right to your opinion
but suggesting some one posted something that warrants a report to any agency is absurd
You need to stop doing that immediately
it hurts the blog
This blog thrives on people being able to express themselves without concern about the consequences. So when you do stuff like this you undermine the whole purpose of this blog.
I don’t want to discuss the merits
I don’t want to discuss the consequences
I just ask you to stop immediately.
Thanks
I was waiting for this post.
Funny stuff Piggy! I didn’t burn my Jordan jersey quite yet, but I use it as a shower mat. If he doesn’t produce this season, I’ll use it as a rag when I wash my car.
So Jetssuck has started a new crusade……Yeah none of us care. move on.
Ear long suspension? hmmmm some ears are longer than others, colonpokey for example, really small ears, his suspension surely seemed longer than colonpokey’s ears. You think he might have another ear long suspension? and if so who’s ears are you judging with this time?
that is a lobe blow
HOLD THE DOOR!
Go Ajayi!
As much as we all liked Miller Dan Campbell liked Ajayi more, or at least that was rumored to be the case.
Guess i missed all the hot debates, being curious i went back to read it and kind wish i hadn’t.
Jets, i like ya man but you do latch on to things sometimes and ride the fuck out of them. In case of FFR he was saying he hated the city of Boston and everything in it, he doesn’t really want for them to have tragedy, because despite the off color nature of his comments sometimes, he is a good guy and has good intentions. He certainly wouldnt be the cause of any sort of thing like that so the need to “report” him is ridiculous. Threats are a horrible way to do business man. Just express your discontent for his comments, hell call him out for being a shit-bag if you feel so passionate about it, but just leave it at that please.
FFR i do think the Boston comments were a bit off color even for you. There are people here that may have had family close to or involved with that event and its one of those things that i think is such a tragedy, you really shouldn’t go at it so bluntly or at least with some sort of recognition of the gravity of what happened. Million ways to run down that city, if you must, without going there.
Both you guys are good contributors here, both of you give a viewpoint that is different from a lot of the rest here so its good reading your opinions and comments, i hope for you guys to put this aside and both stay and remain posting here. Would feel bad to lose either of ya.
Oh and you were wrong about one thing Jets, Omar is a dick, no one should feel ill towards his family, they didnt pick to be related to him, but that guys is pure trash as both a human being and a reporter/blogger.
He was a very productive back in college, really carried the ball a lot, so he can be the main guy, no question. He also has really good feet, he was a talented soccer player, and he moves his feet well.
I think the idea with a guy like him is you keep him productive by giving him ample opportunity to produce, but you also limit his snaps to keep him fesh and avoid fatigue that could translate into injury. Id rather see him as the 10-15 carry back and Drake as the 20-25 carry guy. Hopefully that will translate into about 35-40 carries a game for or RB’s and will balance out our offense a good bit.
I don’t think it’s going to be like that. I see Ajayi being a 14-16 rush and maybe 2-3 receps PG guy and Drake maybe 6-8 rush and 2-3 receps PG guy who may also be our kick returner. Of course there will be games where each guy has more or less depending on the game, but I’m just averaging it out at the tailback position. Then the #3 back may get 2-3, RT 1-3 and maybe our WRs lead by Landry (18-113 6.3 1 TD last year) 1-2. That gets you in that 27+ rush per game range that Gase’s offenses have produced the last 3 years.
This is just my view on how it may pan out, I could be totally wrong.
He has excellent balance and runs with conviction.
D
Wow man, that’s a lot of carries. I don’t think Drake will be that for us, but hey, anything is possible. I kinda of saw him as a change of pace, and a 3rd down back, and use him as a receiver out of the backfield. That would be some change for us, 40-45 carries a game
I think we will see it. I have looked at Gase’s offenses in the past and he has some patterns there. He generally has 2 backs in rotation and they serve roles. His primary back generally is verstaile, is a good receiver out of the backfield. He also has a more powerful grinding back, better straight ahead runner.
I dont think the roles you see for Drake are accurate because you are judging him off how he was used at Alabama where they have a more traditional system with the sped back/receiving back being used in a more traditional 3rd down situation. I dont think thats how Gase’s system rolls from what im seeing and the number of carries is pretty consistent for him, 35-40 carries a game split between the two backs. Go back and look at his year in Chicago and i think you will see what im saying. Drake is more Forte to me and Ajayi is more Langford in that system, and i expect they wind up use similarly, because Drake offers more versatility.
We will see, and it may start out flipped around depending on how ready Drake is to move to that role.
This also isnt a condemnation for Ajayi as a runner. I think with his field of vision and power, and one cut kind of running style he will be very productive with his carries. We might wind up with one of the better 1-2 punches in the NFL when/if Drake reaches his potential in our system. Ajayi also benefits from an extended career.
D, if we reach the rushing numbers you’re suggesting that means Ajayi/Drake are a dynamic duo and the best way to win games. I wouldn’t be against that at all. But I need to see it to believe it. 🙂

D,
You are 100% correct regarding my comment. Even more so with me having extended family from the Boston area. I very humbly apologize to anyone I offended with my comment. It was in the poorest of taste and I am ashamed I made it. I also apologize to this blog for the distraction my mistake caused. I thoroughly hope, so no one needs to keep dealing with this, this apology is read and moved on. There is no need to respond to me regarding it, just wanted to let you good people know I am sorry for both the comment and causing a distraction from football.

Browns release veteran WR Brian Hartline, per source.
I could see him retiring. I believe he has a business in Ohio, can’t remember what it was though.
some sort of a car wash or car oil change place?
A franchise, right?
Go Ifo, the more talent the better.
http://www.oregonlive.com/nfl/index.ssf/2016/05/miami_dolphins_excited_to_see.html
Kinda felt Hartline was probably not going to make it to camp. Better for him if he can maybe get a chance to make another team, may need to consider retiring though, just too much young talent coming out of colleges today at that position. I have been saying this the past few years now. WR is becoming the new RB, cheaper to take a shot on a young guy than keep paying these aging verts lots of money. Pretty much now, you are either the alpha on your team or as soon as you arent, you are going to get dropped.
Lets see I haven’t pissed Tim off in awhile! 😉

Seriously? What will the production be with these guys? Will any of them get hurt? There will be new talents who rise to the top etc. The season hasn’t been played yet. There is so much filtering that will happen with the grading of prospects between now and then.

Former NFL QB Johnny Manziel was kicked out of a Vegas nightclub on Friday night after he allegedly “hauled off and punched a guy.”
Standing in a VIP booth at Jewel Nightclub, Manziel allegedly “got pushed” when club goers began pushing and shoving after rapper Drake showed up for a surprise performance. Manziel proceeded to “slug” a fellow club goer and was kicked out by security. TMZ also recently released photos of Manziel without his shirt in which he appears emaciated with tattoos all over his body.

Defense, defense, defense is the first couple of days
What if our 2016 defense is top 5? 🙂
You don’t know what the defense is going to look like yet. There’s more youth on it then you think. Sure we’ll need to add some defense, but to already state a defense heavy draft in 2017 is way premature. LOL
We’ll start to get a feel for who’s lining up where and what the early depth charts are looking like from the OTAs that start tomorrow. Nothing set in stone, just an idea and we go from there. Looking forward to some new team intel.

Screw Dion Jordan. Colonpokey is back!
If we had picks left for next rear we could go heavy on the defense especially with so many injury prone and elderly players. Besides we spent this draft and next acquiring offensive players.
Sometimes I’m not sure when you’re being sarcastic or not. LOL
We’ll see what our draft picks look like next year but we may have the entire pool +1 when it’s all said and done. Also having our 1st and 2nd is always paramount and we have that.
I view this team as needing more premium talent added moving forward than more bottom end depth roles. We have a lot of those. Let the premium talent push the bottom out the door.
I’m an agent of chaos. Lol.
If Fournette is there and “we” pass on him I’m going to go all David on the board!
In the mock i did above he was still on the board, but Myles Garrett at this point would be a guy i would be ok with us taking over Fournette, there arent many players, though, that i would say that about.
So Brady is going to ask for a full court reconsideration by the 2nd Court of Appeals. Unlike they do that, but the decision will still take like six weeks. Even if that is turned down, then Team Brady can go to the Supreme Court….and that takes lots of time too.
Don’t count Brady out of game 2 v the Phins yet. And if one of those Courts bites on just hearing the case again, chances are Tommy Boy plays the whole season even if he eventually loses.
I want to beat them with him like we have before. 🙂
I dont care how we beat them but i get what you are saying, i want us to be able to beat him with or without him, but i do think its time he faced the music for this. I dont care when he serves the 4 games, he just needs to serve them.
He’ll get a year long suspension from Mario in week two.
Yeah thats the way of the legal system these days, even in the case of inevitable outcome, delay the punishment until it almost doesn’t matter.

———————————-
That means he is doing it right.
Reconsideration by an en banc panel of the 2nd circuit is extremely rare. Also SCOTUS has enough turmoil right now and thus I don’t see them touching this case.
Severely doubt he gets either. Doubt he wins if he does get one too (although that would show he has a chance).
Pretty sure he will get his suspension stayed until his legal avenue of appeals are over though.

What a POS. You only apologize for 1 comment, so the 3 others you are not sorry for and you meant it. What a POS. Let’s get one thing clear asshole there isn’t anything more important than my family in this world or universe. Your comment “but you will never admit to who you are” there is no need to stalk me or my family and you come within 100 feet of my family I’ll kill you.
In the future ignore my comments as I have done towards yours in the past because personally I think your a POS.
We won’t beat the pats week 2 with or without brady. Last time we beat them up there was without brady and we had to pull the wildcat out of our ass.
We’ll probably beat them again the last game of season at home.
Why they play the games Boulder. But surely the “Any Given Sunday” chance of beating them increases without Brady behind center.
of course there is always a chance but I would never bet on it. Up in NE the refs will not allow brady to lose. Remember 2 years ago the refs gave them the game, instead of 4th and 30 they said its a kicked ball 1st and goal from 9?
Its hard to beat the refs and the pats.
This team has beaten Boulder’s confidence down. LOL
I wouldn’t bet on us straight up either. But what is the line with and without Brady in NE? Off the top of my head guessing we are 10 point dogs with him there and 5 point dogs without.
Our Dolphins will be wearing 1966 throw back jerseys for the fest game.
Howie your Twilley jersey will fit right in
https://spark.adobe.com/page/Xg9Pl/
Nice!! I’m digging that
Yah think OD has one of those in his closet?
Twilley brings brings back memories from my first Fins Game when I was 4, he broke his leg in a preseason game against the Raiders falling into the dugout like bench.
“Last year, eight other NFL teams participated in the NFL’s Color Rush initiative. This season we will show up in color on color against the Bengals in week 4. What will we wear? Stay tuned.”
Will they dare go Orange on Orange?
We’re gonna pound the patsies in week 2, Dion Jordan will be everywhere.
Right Pokey?
Stanger
OD has a lot of things in his closet. lol
Why the 1966 jerseys? WTF?
Phins went 3-11 under 1st HC George Wilson.
I get that it’s the inaugural year, but how bout when Shula became the Phins HC in 1970 instead! He took the Phins to 10-4 & the playoffs.
I believe it’s the same uni anyways, so call it 1970 throwback day.
Because you dont honor history by changng it. You have where you come from, no matter if a different time was better success, you still started there.
I know why a lot feel like we likely lose with Brady. They have what a lot argue is the best coach of the past decade in football, they have a guy who is arguably the best QB of the decade. We have a guy who is needing to bounce back from a bad year just to return to competitive form and a brand new coach. Still i wouldnt count either of these guys out. They both approach the game with competitive fire, specifically Gase, so i think we at least split with them this year, but i do feel its coming, pretty soon i think we could be flipping the script on them, might not be this year but i think soon.
Those of us that say we have no chance is due more to the officiating than anything else.

Your comment “but you will never admit to who you are” there is no need to stalk me or my family and you come within 100 feet of my family I’ll kill you.
this is against my better judgement but a death threat shouldnt go unnoticed. i said i would let this go but i do think death threats shouldnt just be ‘let go’.
my comment to this guy ‘but you will never admit to who you are’ was made when he called me a asshole after i referred to his comments as troll comments. note i never called him anything just called his comments troll comments. if anyone looked back i even reached out to him a few days ago asking about the gator girls threepeating. i never held any animosity towards him.
anyways, my post i said i admit to being an asshole but he would never admit to who he is meaning he is an attention getting poster and will make comments just to get attention . how he turned that into some how me stalking him i have no idea other then more of him seeking attention and going over the top like he is now.
but him threatening to kill me i think is way way over the top for just posting what i thought about his comment on a blog. if you guys support this then so be it. i dont need death threats to be a part of any blog.
No one here condones the death threats. You guys are both good people in my book, I just don’t think he gets your humor.
Maybe the key part of that was. “In the future ignore my comments as I have done towards yours in the past”
Why keep it going? One thing nice recently is not too many personal flame wars. And not like you would know how to find him or his family anyhow. All pissed off hyperbole.
I hate all the color rush jerseys. It’s a distraction from the game if you ask me. Sadly, they didn’t. 😢
What you didn’t like the ketchup vs mustard game?
It was hideous!
How good is the Pats team outside of Belichick and Brady? They can be beaten and we’ve seen it. But you can’t make a boatload of mistakes and expect to beat them because they usually don’t. We’ve been a team for years that can compete but does make critical mistakes that change games. That has to change.
They always get a call or 16 when they need it most, you have to be really good to ever come that, and we haven’t been for a long time.
We’ve beaten them three straight seasons, always at home though. 3-3 the last 3 seasons vs. 0-6 prior.
The convoy was about beating them in Foxboro, Omar even says there’s something funny going on up there in second halves of games.
OK, let’s just end this right here. There can’t/won’t be any threats, death threats, or any other types of threats to anyone who posts on here. We all have disagreements from time to time, and comments can get twisted or taken out of context, or sometimes people say things they wish they hadn’t said. Regardless, no need to get to the point where there are threats to anyone here.
Please try to adhere to this, or all comments made in that vein will be deleted. No one here wants to play blog police, so lets keep it friendly. If you can’t, then don’t post until you can.
Thanks
Agreed Mike.
Ditto! Talk about taking too much seriously.
stanger,
I never bet on the phins anyway. I like the phins too much and it skews my judgement 🙂
No harikari in a Fins jersey!
I thought that was a Cubs jersey?
different spelling
Neither do I. Game means more than anything. Spreads just take away from it. Same reason I don’t like too may Dolphins on my FF team other than the D. One is about the max for me. Least out of the draft. I’ll pick up tasty guys off the waiver wire if things change.
stanger,
i think no one on here takes this blog less serious then i do. but when someone twist your post so much that they make a threat to ‘kill you’ then you are more then free to not keep it going. i just thought it was warranted to re-post it.
like i said, if others are ok with it, then no skin off my butt, i can just move on.
If your missing skin on your butt – You need to quit picking up the male cheerleaders! 😉
Huh – Uggg – Ouch – Ewww
You re-posted. And I am fine with that.
Not that I am the cell block boss on this place. I’ve met both of you…..not like it concerned me in the least other than a flame thing. Was just pointing out that is exactly what it is. Hoping you didn’t think anything else about it.
I can’t wait for the Fest, because I think our team is going to be playing some ball, and it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch, in addition to, of course, the Fest-ivities

Let it go. No one is OK with any of it. It’s been addressed, and hopefully, both parties can cease and desist on that subject, and talk football, or something more fun.
Rob, that is too far and when the old man re-reads he’ll see he made a leap there. Plus you’d have to actually get off your ass to stalk someone so we know that ain’t happening.

I gotta run – BBL
Rob – Nothing more we can do at this point bud, I’ve made it clear it won’t be tolerated, and I’d just prefer to move on from it, rather than make it part of our discussion. I think you can appreciate that.
I have literally tried to type something that i though might help mend these fences like 30 times, each time just to refresh the screen and not post it. I wish i could say something that get you guys both talked down. Whatever it was that JSS is referencing about stalking is for sure misinterpreted, because you arent that kind of person. That comment JSS made about killing you was retalitory for what he considered a threat to stalk. My bet is that if we got the two of you together to duke it out, this would likely be the outcome.
LOL — and great as it was to seem him, you have to add in that JS nice as he is has some mobility problems. It is why he can’t come to the Fest and just joining us for the D&B even the night before was a problem for him. Nice guy, but think that adds to the picture why this just like the Howard and Raj wrestling match.
And people are waiting for the perfect utopian vision for a country dealing with humans. Maybe I just drink too much. LOL

Severely doubt he gets either. Doubt he wins if he does get one too (although that would show he has a chance).
Pretty sure he will get his suspension stayed until his legal avenue of appeals are over though.
—————————
It will only be stayed if they grant reconsideration en banc or if SCOTUS grants cert. The mere filing is not basis for a stay so very unlikely the suspension is stayed.
This ain’t a monetary judgment though that you can file an appeal bound on. There is no giving back the suspended games. For sure it will be stayed if either appeal granted, but have to believe that a request for stay will be granted until all denied.
Not an expert on the subject, but never heard of a guy on death row getting executed while his appeal is pending.
Procedurally doesn’t work that way. Only if reconsideration is granted or if cert is granted would a stay come into play. The odds of either one happening is rare. There is no automatic stay in this matter. This is not a death penalty case. If you are convicted of a crime you go to jail pending appeal.
Agree the odds on him getting either hearing are slim. Thought the Supreme Court can stay the ruling/suspension while it considers whether to take up or not, but I could be wrong. And no not a death penalty case, but they do the same when it is about eminent domain too….which is also a civil can’t undo thing.
Death row cases have automatic appeals and stays. A regular prisoner does not get his year back if his conviction is overturned.
You got me to check least a bit….NFL.com at least is saying that just the justice in charge of the circuit (GInsberg) can issue a stay of ruling while the petition for cert process plays out. Not like I go to them for legal advice, but they must have gotten that somewhere.
Thomas Duarte is Arron Hernandez on the field. I’d like to see him run the ball from 2 TE sets, and get snaps in 2 TE sets. I’d also like to see Sims in 2 TE sets with Duarte. I’d also like to see him play a little FB. Gase is going to use the skillsets of his players, so if someone does something well, I expect to see it.
I think if requests cert the denial will come so fast it would Brady’s head spin
But then he might just be trying to leverage two games instead of four two with the NFL. His best weapon is not letting it die, even if the legal chances are very slim.
I agree that may be in play
Just got done watching all of our new offensive rookies highlights, what a mistake that was. Gase is probably working 18 hour days, and it must feel like he’s working 2. His mind must be going crazy thinking of ways to use these guys. Tannenbaum must’ve been thinking we ran 8 goal to go plays against the jets in one series and couldn’t score, we need more mismatches.
Stanger a stay can be issued but it is not automatic. Traditionally it is only if cert is granted or reconsideration is granted. He can petition for a stay but unlikely to be given absent a compelling reason such as a death penalty case or eminent domain which involves the taking of property
Assuming what NFL.com said was right….we are talking Ginsberg though. Would be different if it was Thomas. I’m betting it never makes it that far though. As is the thing is in the 2nd Circuit for like six weeks and suspension doesn’t start till Sept. Plenty of talk and media time window for Team Brady.
Funny story about williams house in buffalo. That much money and no playoffs. I hope Suh experiment turns out better than williams in buffalo.
“Williams certainly had some cash to spare. According to ESPN Stats & Information, he pocketed $66,604,805 from the Bills, making him the ninth-highest earner in the NFL over the past four seasons and the highest-earning defensive player.”

No playoffs wasn’t his doing, he did his thing, when allowed to.
Yea I know, but when you spend that much on a player, as an owner you expect playoffs.But that’s what you get when you spend that much on a player that’s not a QB.
Steve,
Yes…Mismatch, game planning, system, play calling is so central to coaching….is why I was shouting about it from the rooftops since October of the 2015 season…well even a lil back in the 2014 season too.
Point is, people dismiss coaching way too easily, and say it’s predominately personnel.
Coaches at this level can all coach technique for the most part, as they’ve all had to work their way up as a position coach first….being a true mastermind of the game and seeing the who;e filed is hard to find in just any HC.
Hope we have this in Gase….and yes, personnel is important too….infact we talk a lot about it’s a team game, can’t just blame the QB….well, the working correctly as a “team” also incompasses the coaching staff, the HC, game planners, & play callers.
I like the draft, free agents, & coaches so far. Hopefully it will meld together as a solid functioning team!
Go Phins!
I want to actually see them play before I decide I like anything or anyone. OTAs haven’t even started yet. I hope they’re gonna win but who knows right now.
I get that, but I like the staff because they’re not Philbin, Lazor, & Coyle. That should give anyone hope and a reason to like….lol
I see that loud and clear after what Philbin did to us. Look at what the idiots in SD did taking Bosa, who’s going to be playing out of position, at #3 instead of an LT to protect the aging Rivers. This is the kind of shit we’ve been doing for yrs.
We seen so much stupid shit from Wanny to Cameron to Ireland to Philbin and everyone else in between that after going through that it’s pretty clear we’ve got someone with a plan that actually knows what he’s doing. I mean even Tannenbaum seems smarter with Gase on board. Tannenbaum can bring in the talent via FA, so he’s got that going for him, but not much else.
So all day of this colonpokey post and no one commented on the rubber fist on the bed of roses with colonpokey
or that he has a stick of butter and a backscrubber on the first pic
WELL Florida Atlantic’s baseball team won Conference USA’s regular season title, with Marshall, Southern Miss and Rice finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Next comes the conference post season tourney, then the NCAA playoffs. C-USA may get 4 teams into the NCAA tourney, based on the fact that C-USA is the #3 ranked conference, per RPI.

ME and MRS. OD will be gone on an old fashioned vacation, beginning tomorrow. We’ll be taking our TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING shirts with us to our destination. Talk to Y’all when we get back.–And DON’T misbehave as a few of you may have the last time we took a vacation!! – – It ended up with a NEW BLOG SITE!! – – Play nice now, kiddies!
You may want to try to not post personal info here, like when you’re going out of town. You never know when someone is watching you.
One tough hombre right there bud.
Go #17!
Piggy
It’s Colonpokey why would we question a stick of butter on anything?
OD, game 5 on the road last night was a very exciting one foe ages playoff game….what a resilient team the Lightning are.
Go Bolts!
I was going to question why Kiko Alonso is wearing #50, since he’s actually going to wear #47, but I let it go like Adele Dazeem
The roster on ESPN shows Alonso as #50 now, so…
HODOR!
that was sad last night
I just watched the last half again Fl op ng through the channels
Which Blanky is that? Headline who had his best seasons catching passes from a crappy QB?
Mike Wallace even had 10 TD’s his last season here.
Because he demanded getting throw at 200 times, he should’ve had 20 TDs. Philbin couldn’t handle it, so off he went, just like Marshall before Philbin even coached a down. All the macho personalities he got rid of and didn’t want to draft. Landry you could say was different in that he’s not an asshole, he just plays hard, and doesn’t run his mouth diva style.
God damn autocorrect!! Heartline
Steve
http://www.miamidolphins.com/team/player-roster.html
47 Alonso, Kiko LB 6-3 238 25 4 Oregon
I would think that since Alonso has been 47 since he was acquired and now listed at 50, there’s more of a chance that’s his number compared to the team site not changing it yet. The team site is the worst updating. Guys like Wyoming are always posting stuff from there that’s 2 months old, that appears to be news 😉
after looking for a number change I can’t find anything else that says he changed back to his original 50 he had in Buff. and Phil. I’m going to say 47 is more likely his number.
Adele dazeme lol
I know a lot of you guys are trying to be wait and see guys after what happened last yr with all the hype, and that’s understandable, but I don’t feel the same way, the changes just scream we’re going in the right direction. There’s just to many positive signs for me to think we’re not at least a 10-6 WC team.
Take a look at some of what we’ve done differently this yr, compared to yrs past. We needed a passrusher in 2013, so we move up to draft Jordan at #3, an out of position LB, this yr in the same situation we do the opposite we get Mario an out of position OLB and move him back to his natural 4-3 DE.
We’ve had a bad line ever since RT was drafted, so what do we do we get guys like Smelly Smith, this yr we get the best OL in the draft. Sure RT has run right into defenders, but the line has been really bad and guys aren’t getting open, not sure what he’s supposed to do. He misses open guys at times, and doesn’t always throw it on target, but what would anyone else do after being sacked that many times. David Carr anyone?
Philbin was a what’s left out there after 6 turndowns, Gase was the first choice. The FO is working closely with Gase to draft and acquire the right types of players that fit the system, in positions we need. Wanny drafted an LB with our first pick to play STs. Ireland just picked up guys that didn’t fit for a bargain.
We couldn’t score last yr, so what did they do drafted 4 playmakers. Philbin did the same last yr, but he didn’t know what to do with them, except for Landry, but I’m pretty sure Landry did it on his own.
We were the worst team in the NFL against #1 WRs last yr, what did they do, got rid of the high priced Grimes and McCain and Taylor for a system fit Maxwell, and Howard. Part of the issue was bad safety play not named Jones, I’m not sure Quddus is a better cover guy, but he’s not worse and he’s 100 times better in run support.
Some will say we didn’t do much to fix the LBs, maybe our biggest D weakness, but I don’t agree, with Alonso back in a position he played well, and Quddus and Jones coming up in run support, we’ve really improved the run D. Mario is also a lot better run defender than OV, the other 2 DEs are too shabby at it either.
If we suck this yr I’ll admit I don’t know shit about football.
“I’m pretty sure Landry did it on his own”. That’s rich.
Lol, but come on man that was sarcastic.
okeedokee
Meaning Puilben didn’t coach him up
Good reasonable post Steve.
Rock, any coach Landry would’ve had that gave him an opportunity would’ve seen the same results, Philbin had nothing to do with his success.

Pretty funny

This is about a sick child…i can sympathise with that.
Yeah, Omar can go blow a conch when it come to football though! 😉
Go back and read some comments from late yesterday.
See Mike’says comment at 4:52 pm.
What time does the OTA start today? I see it can’t get here fast enough…lol
Thursday is the first open to media day so we may not get many reports through the day of how things are looking, we might have to wait for the presser.
Ok thanks…
I’m just here so I won’t get fined.

In the mock i did above he was still on the board, but Myles Garrett at this point would be a guy i would be ok with us taking over Fournette, there arent many players, though, that i would say that about.

I won’t do my first 2017 NFL Draft board for awhile, but if I did one right now, A&M DE Myles Garrett would be No. 1 then a drop off..

Think today is a bigger day for Ross than any game day he has had since he bought the team.

Late Tuesday afternoon, an announcement is expected as to who will host the Super Bowls in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In the running are Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa. Miami is one of the favorites.
If every media member had to vote for location, Miami would surely win over other cities. The only one playing games here is the NFL and their demands for owners to spend more to host the event.
Agree…cept I would add in Naw’leans. That is one fantastic town. You been?
We have to get one, or the NFL is sending the message, upgrade your stadium or no SB, but even if you do we still may not give it to you. In other words their word is shit.
Yep — Miami, Atlanta and LA are probably going to be the three. Not sure where us doing an upgrade rather can getting a whole new stadium puts in that in terms of which year though.
Live look in at the Ballantyne Hotel (in Charlotte suburbs where the NFL meetings are taking place):

Yes, but media members like the eye candy better in Miami.
Yeah, but they like the jambalaya better in Nawlins. Depends which part of their anatomy is doing the thinking that day.
I think we’ll get a Superbowl in the next few years. I’d much rather our team playing in a Superbowl though, and I don’t care where it is.
Hey — we get one and I might change my handle to “HOME SUPERBOWL 201#”
