Not gonna bet, but if they give Duarte a chance, he can do it. I’m not in control of whether he’ll get that opportunity or not, so no thanks.

Do you remember what town NJ was from in NJ?
Was it Guttenberg?
I think it was where your nephew lives in North Bergen or one of the other river towns, Edgewater etc. Why?
I thought he was pretty close to NYC
Definitely on the river.
Tim
Long story, but a woman I work with is going to Tennessee, so I told her to check out his restaurant. She’s going to Gatlinberg, and the name rang a bell. His restaurant is actually in Seiversville, but I was thinking of where he used to live, in Guttenberg.
Was it Guttenberg?
Yeah
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttenberg,_New_Jersey
I know where it is. LOL
From that wiki entry:
Most of the town’s population resides in the Galaxy Towers, a trio of residential skyscrapers overlooking the Hudson River.[22]
LOL
For sure it was by the river cause he told me he would hit up that place in Jersey City called Zepplin Hall that I used to visit at times.
Tim
Where is it? lol
It’s right below North Bergen. You sure it wasn’t Union City? If you drive along the river north from Hoboken there are a bunch of river towns on the cliffs.
I knew it sounded like Gatlinberg. I remember him putting up a pic on FB about the Guttenberg fair, or some celebration.
I just don’t remember that being the town he lived in. I thought it was one of the other ones.
Speaking of NJ…you guys communicate with him still? also, what’s up with NJ Jeff? He still around somewhere?
I still talk to NJ, Jeff is in S. Carolina maybe? Not sure.
How is NJ?
Really busy running his restaurant. He’s doing well though.
Cool! Tell him I said hello when you talk to him.
Jeff got pissed off one day and never came back. I believe he did move to one of the Carolina’s.
Remember when he gave out his address wanting to fight with someone on the SS? LOL
Yeah, he was funny. He still gets so mad at the team. If you think I’m negative . . . . lol
Tim
I just looked at NJ’s FB page, he was from Guttenberg.
Maybe the gym he worked at was in one of the other towns so I always thought that’s where he was from.
There was no room for a gym in Guttenberg
LOL, see my last post.
LOL @ Al, Guttenberg is a very small town.
Only four blocks wide, Guttenberg is the ninth-smallest municipality in the state[12][19] and the most densely populated incorporated municipality in the United States, as well as one of the most densely populated municipalities worldwide, with 57,116 people per square mile of land area.
Well now there’s more room since NJ moved away. lol
Guttenberg is a really big shoe box.
LOL @ Tim
All those towns on the river are areas with no parking. Once you find a spot you never leave it and drive you vehicle again. LOL
lmfao.
No wonder those cars are always parked bumper to bumper.
Exactly, it’s friggin crazy.
Yea Jeff from I last remember was saying he was in a Charlotte (NC) suburb town.
Tim
When I lived in Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, it was the same deal. I used to drive around for a half hour – 45 minutes looking for a spot, because of alternate side parking. It was brutal.
Insane. People who haven’t been to NYC and NJ have no idea how populated these areas are.
Exactly
Tim
Just caught your post about NJ, I will tell him
Cool!
I don’t know most of the names of most of the towns along the river but I just remember the ones between the tunnels -> Hoboken & Weehawken
Yeah right off rte 3, Weehawken first than south to Hoboken and then Jersey City.. I’m close to rte 3 but up in the hills west of there. Without traffic lol, I can get there in 15 minutes.
lmfao Mike.
When i used to drive into the city to stay at my friends house on a Friday, I would have to make sure to get in around 5 cause the M-F tow away zones expire at 6pm until the following Monday. Free parking 🙂
One good thing about growing up in the city is you learned how to park, and park well. If your car was able to squeeze in, you were getting in!

We have waived quarterback Logan Thomas and defensive tackle Charles Tuaau.
Not shocked about Logan Thomas. Doughty just made him expendable. Never heard of the udder guy
Tuaau has been hanging around the last couple of years. He was a long shot for sure.
I think we’re keeping 3 QBs this year – Tannehill and Moore, then it’s between Dysert and Doughty.

they way things are going this year

I think a steel cage death match would be interesting . . .
A healthy Albert, Pouncey and James is huge for us. Remember only 7 games played together between them since 2014 and a 6-1 record. Add Tunsil and find someone to play RG. We could look a lot different on offense in 2016 and in a good way. It all starts here. If you don’t think so ask Andrew Luck how his kidney, abdomen and ribs are doing?

That’s not exactly true, Omar did a little spinning.
That’s not exactly true, Omar did a little spinning.
He used stats. How do you spin 6-1, it is or it isn’t?
A statistician will at the very minimum require to know the strength of schedule during that 7 game stretch.
It was 6-1 when all 3 started and finished. The 3 games I remember from 2015 were Houston, Tenn., and I believe Wash. Both Tenn and Houston were hot messes, Wash we stunk, but Landry bailed us out.
I’d like to know what happened in the games all 3 started, but didn’t finish, and what the circumstance was in the game when one of them went out.
Steve’s goin’ to get the Sun Sentinel, get the Sun Sentinel
I’m sure we’re a better team with our best guys out there on the O-line, so no reason to dispute that. I don’t think we’re an .857 team, but we’re definitely better with our best guys.
I tend to remember the one game we lost with the big 3 OL, was against GB, in a game the D blew at the end. We started off 2014 5-3 and were looking good against Det, when Albert got hurt. In the Det game there were 2 horrible calls that went against us, one was in the endzone right before half we got screwed out of a TD, the other was on a third down play on Detroit’s game winning drive. The receiver was tackled short, but the homer officials gave them the first down spot and of course the replay didn’t change the horrible call, Det would’ve kicked a FG to tie it.
In 2015 Albert was out from week 2 – week 4, we lost all 3, then he came back in week 5 we played great against Tenn., then we all know the blowout against Hou. James was hurt after that game.
With these 3+ Tunsil, fuck what Omar said about him stuggling, our OL is going to be very good. I’m not worried about the 5th starter, because of what the big 3 have done the last 2 yrs.
This yr with a healthy OL, plus Gase calling the plays, a new group of receivers + Parker healthy to start, and something other than a high school O system.
On D we have guys that fit the scheme that have a chance against the taller WRs in our division, Vance to put an O on it’s heals, Suh, Wake and Williams to kick brady’s ass, and Kiko if back anything close to what he was will be 100 times better than what we had last yr.
12-4 tops 9-7 if it doesn’t go so well, 8-8 if injuries decimate.

Did you already buy game tix for the Steelers game?
He’s waiting for the prices to hit rock bottom.
Is that a possibility? I’m wondering, because I may have to skip that game if the prices are what they are.
Not yet.
Cavs favored by 2.5 tonight, if I was a gambler it would all be on GS. I want Clev to win. last yr I wanted GS, but Clev has to play lights out to win, GS just has to play pretty good.
Bri
If the prices are going to stay that high, I’m probably going to forget about the Steelers game. I don’t feel like spending $1000 on decent seats
I’ll just sit in shitty seats. I’m not spending that much on seats.
Mike,
I just checked prices for the Steelers game- it’s a total bunch of fucking bullshit. My brother told me about this when he got his season tix to the Niners. I was thinking “That’s robbery!”. I hate that upcharge for premium games. Thanks Ross for “paying” for the stadim upgrades by hiking the ticket prices. It really takes away from the game of football for me.
I have to talk to my bud Scott. I would sit in bad seats, but I got the impression if he’s going, he’s spending, so we’ll see. I’ll let you know when I find out, maybe we can get seats together.

Loved your Kool Aid avatar, but this one just feels right.
JASON TAYLOR:
“I’ll tell you, the biggest addition they might have in Miami right now is Jim Washburn, the pass rush/defensive line extraordinaire coach. I spent a couple of days in the last few weeks at minicamp and the OTAs and seeing him work with guys like Cam Wake and Suh and being able to get those guys going a little bit, (like) Mario Williams, he’s going to be the biggest addition on that defense, I believe.”
Washburn was hired by the Dolphins as senior defensive assistant/pass rush specialist March 18 after he spent the past 17 seasons as a defensive line coach with the Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions, where he worked with Suh.
Taylor said that while he believes new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph will adjust his scheme to fit the talents of his players, the same isn’t quite true when it comes to Washburn.
“He will make them do what he wants them to do,” Taylor said. “And they’ll actually enjoy doing it. He’s one of those guys he’s got a certain way of doing things, certain way to get after quarterbacks and the technique and the angles and the speed is all the same. You could see him inspire guys already in OTAs. Having been through OTAs and sometimes feeling uninspired in those practices, it’s amazing to watch him work. I worked with him once at the Pro Bowl; it was an interesting three or four days of practice. And that was a Pro Bowl. This is real football now and I think they love having him there.”
Good stuff Naples.
Hope it all translates well on the field.
The Dolphins DL front is loaded with vets who have been around the NFL for some time now and all have produced at a high level before except for one of the DT spots.
If Phillips has a step up this year then the sky is the limit for the DL.
The stories on Mario in Buffalo last year may or may not be true but we all know how good he is when he’s self motivated and right now it seems the fresh environment, a new coach (big time problem for him last year), and the surrounding players are motivating him.
The best part of players such as Mario, Wake, & Suh is that whatever inconsistencies they may have play to play in a game, they all know when to gear up and let it rip on a QB in terms of situational football late in games.
I don’t think Vernon had that in him…he was a volume guy but he wasn’t clutch in that sense.
good point … I think Vernon’s penalties came in more critical moments than his sacks a lot of times, whereas Wake had a sack safety in OT for a walk-off victory and Mario beat us one year with two big plays in the 4th qtr to snuff any comeback drives.
Speaking of Pittsburgh, maybe I’ll have a huge banner made to hoist in the stadium parking lot which will read “WELCOME STOOLERS FANS”
What’s the name of NJ’S restaurant in sevierville. I go there twice a year.
Two Brothers
Landry, Jones and Suh all in the top 100. Going forward if our QB finds his way in there then we’re a playoff team.
I Doughty makes it in his first year, lol jk
😁
I agree though
If Tanny is this type of QBs
And there are a lot of QBs on the list
Then we are probably a playoff game
About the top 100 thing, if there are 32 teams and each one puts in their best 3 players, then that is 96 guys, so only 4 teams get a 4th guy unless some team only gets 2.
So us having 3 as a 6-10 team is not bad at all, especially considering Wake did not make it due to injury. And Pouncey and Albert also got shut out even though they went to the Pro Bowl.
I’m assuming Suh is our last guy to get in.
It’s a beauty contest, but having a few top 100 really just means you have some good players, and it doesn’t translate to W/Ls.
I’ll bet teams that had QB’s in the top 100 were playoff teams with the exception of Bortles in Jax.
Interesting that the players voted Suh at 40 but everyone here thinks he sucks. I’ll side with the players here over the Moe-Rons, lol
He should be #1, or at least #5 with that salary, but, hey, that’s interesting too
I would rather have a top 50 player paid like a top 5 player
Than a bunch of average players that are paid like average players
Having players that are elite is usually the difference between winning games
And that’s what we have in Suh
Now we need a few more like him
He’s not at a skill position or even a “sexy” defensive position. Interesting.
He does suck
The players thought they were voting for neck size
Suh is a 40
😉
Landry should be a top 50 player!
I hope all 3 of those guys are ranked higher when they do that list next year
And we have a couple more players on the list
My thinking (hope!!!) is that we have the players we need to make a wild-card game.
We just need to coach ’em up and stop using lame game-plans and making stupid decisions from the side-lines during games.
KOOL-AID alert!!!
Suh, Mario, and Wake all 3 make the 100 next yr.
Phillips just said, “What about me?”
TRUE!!!
He has the talent but might be a year away on the recognition index by voters.
Maybe this year Suh will actually be worthy of being in top 100, we’ll see. His reputation precedes him, let’s see him actually make this defense a top 5 defense.
I don’t know how to spell a fart sound but that’s what I’m doing to this post.
Just like you want Tannehill to be in the top 100, I want Suh to make this a great defense. Maybe if they give Tannehill an actual offensive line, we can see what he’s all about.
What would make you happy with Suh’s play Mike?
DT is never a double digit sack guy or a 100 tackle guy or ever easy to judge by the stats.
Can you remember one single game that he took over since he’s been here?
The Fest game, they couldn’t do shit on O because of him.
Can you name one game that any DT took over last year?
I didn’t think so
Piggy was too busy watching the ball and the cheerleaders but I remember leaning towards him and saying you see Suh, he was blowing up every play the Texans tried to run for the entire first qtr. They had no answers.
#ballwatcher #roastedpig
Naples
From my perspective, in 2014 we had a decent to good defense. We went out and gave Suh a monster contract, and our defense gets worse with essentially the same players. I was against paying him that contract from the start, because really, what team ever won the SB because they paid a DT a huge contract? I’ll answer it, no team. So we get Suh, pay him an enormous contract, and the D gets worse. Any explanation for that?
Look no further than Sheppard and other injured or rookie linebackers. It wasn’t Suh, just go back and watch.
Sheppard was horrible, Kiko will make a HUGE difference.
The O couldn’t do anything because the miami offense got a 30 point lead in the first 4 minutes
Right but we kicked off and then Suh stuffed their ass and it was on. He was impressive to watch in that first qtr.
Son
Thanks for making my point. Appreciate the assist on that one. Glad you finally realized there is no point in paying a DT that kind of money. Bravo!
I don’t give a shit about the money, I really don’t. We have Suh and that’s all that matters.
You will when it prohibits us from getting anyone else that we need.
Mike … I understand your frustration, but I was just wondering how you would know if Suh was doing a great job or not.
So it’s rushing yardage against us …? ok that’s valid.
question though, who was our starting CB opposite Grimes?
Who was our starting safety opposite Reshad?
You know I follow this team closely and even I have to stop and think about those.
And when I finally come up with names, I feel QUEASY.
Son
Just need to point out that it’s OK for you to point fingers at Sheppard and injured or rookie LB’s to defend the great Suh, but no one is allowed to defend Tannehill by saying our rookie OL or replacement OL for the injured players sucked. #doublestandard
Must point out the hypocrisy there
You are correct. QB’s are different and I absolutely have a double standard. Without many exceptions except for a truly great runningback like a Dickerson the QB is the only one who can put the game on his shoulders and win or lose it. Ryan has to get better at winning and scoring late in games. I hope Gase breaks through.
#gottascorelate
Then throw in the MLB who was always known as a “drag-down” LB rather than a “fill the hole” LB, and you can see that all the opposing OC had to do was scheme a doubleteam against Suh, and now his RB is running against an injured Misi, an injured Jelani, and/or 2 UDFA rookies.
Because our “drag queen” MLB was not man enough to “fill the hole,” in football terms.
Anyway, I’m done with ripping Tannehill. I got it out earlier in the year. He’s here and all signs are positive thus far so I hope Gase and Co. get him and the entire O going.
Suh should be a lot of fun to watch this year as the whole D-line should be stout.
Son
If you asked Tannehill, I’m sure he would agree with that. We have to help him do that by giving him some modicum of protection though. Now he seems to have sufficient weapons to work with, and hopefully Tunsil is an important piece we added to help give Ryan time, and keep him upright. When that happens, maybe we start scoring those late TD’s.
That’s really my only gripe.
I know he needs better protection as a whole but he needs to also learn to help himself better at times.
Gase should offer a better balanced less predictable attack that will help.
I was either saying or agreeing with someone last year who said that they should have garbage cans set up and have T-hill throw balls into from the 20, 30, 40 until he consistently hit 4,5,6 in a row. Become automatic at it. I saw that they were doing that the other day.
#qbgurusonsaidit
I also like that Gase said he was purposely “heaping too much” onto Tannehill’s plate all at once “to find the breaking point” and that one time Tannehill improvised and found Landry (of course) for a 1st on 4th and 10.
That seems obvious, but how many times last year did they force Tannehill to use the play that was called and throw to Landry 4 yrds out (or a f’n yd behind the LOS on those putrid bubble screens) and then beg Landry to get the other 6-12 yards on his own talent?
Too many times
So a rookie HC can see the obvious, but the great Philbin was clueless?
As handcuffed as RT has been he’s really hard to evaluate. He looks great when someone is open, but not so good when things break down. How many times in the last 4 yrs have we seen receivers just going through the motions, because the play was flawed, and he couldn’t change it? Many times it looked like the receivers were just going through the motions, like this FN play will never work against this scheme. For example calling a go route against a cover 2.
Good example, … I am screaming to my sons “Look!! That’s the wrong call vs that D!!”
And they’re like, “Dad! Why’d the coach call it then?”
And I’m like, “Beats the hell out of me!”
If some old never was like me can see it on TV, how come Philbin’s boys upstairs with binoculars and decades in the NFL could not see it?
One word. STUBBORNNESS.

———————————
This is exactly the type of post I’d expect from you Mike, stat driven. Many of the experts say he had his best yr in 2015. Without an LB behind him that actually can make plays a lot of Suh’s worth went unnoticed.
Suh should’ve been top 10 on the list.
The Texans couldn’t block him that’s for sure
One on one he’s unblockable for most guards. You have to double him or run far away from him. Only thing is now, Mario Williams, a #1 overall draft pick, is lurking to clean up on the far end and Alonso, a rookie DPOY, is vacuuming up the middle.
OV seemed to make most of his plays when the receivers were covered and several seconds after the ball was snapped. He was more a compiler of QB hits than anything else.

I think Philbin for whatever reason, maybe the “former WR” BS, always babied Tannehill. And maybe he needed that his rookie year. Maybe all rookie QBs need that. I recently read in different articles where they are opening up the playbook for Jameis and Mariotta this year. Look at Bortles and Carr in yr 2 as well.
But at some point, you have to give the reins over to your QB, and let him play QB which means he is in charge of the offense. I think Philbin was the ultimate control freak (gum wrapper) and could not relinquish enough responsibility to let his guys make heads-up plays (on defense also).
That’s what I saw.
Philbin was our 7th choice, he was just given the job, because no one else wanted it, Gase 1st.
So Gase is doing the opposite. He is putting it all on Tannehill.
That way if Tannehill can do his job, he will be great and we will all be happy, and if he can’t, we will all know it, and Gase has only wasted one year of his opportunity and he can legitimately ask for Ryan’s replacement.
Yup and Ryan is talented enough and been around enough that I think he’ll do fine.
Tannehill is tough as nails, fast afoot, throws well on the run, smart and diligent about learning, and a serious player with a stable home-life instead of a Johnny-Man-thug-wannabe type. I think he has the measurables and the intangibles. He just needs creativity and to know when and how to improvise, from little floating side-steps to skipping forward in his progression when a man pops open for a TD that was a third read.
He doesn’t have the intangibles, at least he hasn’t been able to display them. Everything you mentioned starting with He just needs creativity… Those are the intangibles he needs. He has the things you can’t teach.
Suh’s work forced a few teams to go for quick hitter type passes the only problem is that the scheme had the corners off the ball and it was easy for teams like the Giants to avoid pressure.
LOL! Lets pay a guy $100+M to be a high pressure lineman, then play a soft zone behind him, because your coach is queasy.
and the Lbs were shit as well

Yep and unlike Sparano & Phiblin, Gase actually called plays in games as a head coordinator and his work could be judged in that department.
I would never as a GM hire a HC who at a minimum has never called plays on one side of the ball.
I think when teams look for coaches they should be looking at guys who have excelled or at least been above average coordinators with some experience in big time games (and be judged by what is in their control in those big games). If the Fins had applied the playoff performance of Cam Cameron in the year prior to his season as HC in Miami, they would have seen a choke job (a red flag) and avoided him.
Steve
Do you think JJ Watt doesn’t get double and triple teamed?
It’s not the same on the outside, you can’t just slide a guard over when he’s going around the end. When the middle is clogged there’s no place to go. Suh got frustrated a lot last yr, because he was getting the extra attention and the guys behind him were Phibining it.
There’s a place, you drive through the double and triple team, just like Watt does. Your argument against everything is you can’t use stats. Of course you can, because they count. They just do. It’s a gauge of how productive a player is. You make tackles, it’s good. You get a sack, it’s good. You fight hard against 2 or 3 guys, but don’t get the ball carrier or the QB, it’s not so good. Admirable, but not so good. If Suh was so frustrated, let him tear the QB’s freaking head off instead of disappearing in a game. Also, in a 3-4 DE, a 3-4 end is just about as inside as a 4-3 DT
He does, but he is a DE which means usually a TE or RB is just chipping him rather than a OG and C or OG and OT which are two big boys ganging Suh. I know they play a 3-4 a lot more in Houston, but still …
And I have seen him washed out of plays were he gets up-field TOO soon. Plus they have some really good ILBs and MLBs and last year they made it back to the playoffs partly because Vince Wilfork was eating double-teams off Watt.
speaking of first time play-callers who weren’t ready:
Anybody hear of Lazor getting a job anywhere these days? Or our old DC? Too soon?
I know Philbin is with Indy because he has been to London twice and Pagano has never been, so Joe can advise Chuck on logistics, which is the type of OCD thing that Philbin is good at.
With Gase the questions have been, because he’s a new HC will he be ready. He seems so far at least the job isn’t too big for him. He actually answers questions like he’s a 10 yr vet. When you’re afraid of something, so you overcompensate some place else you get Philbin.

Look at some film of Watt, he faces 2-3 OL sometimes on a play. To say he mostly goes up against a TE is folly. He’s facing the LT, RT, and then often the LG or RG too depending on where he is, and then a RB or TE too. He’s just a beast. There’s no one like him in the NFL. Suh has at least 5-10 that are his equal or better.
Suh gets the same treatment when he plays end, and the results are similar. I’d play him at end a lot more on early downs.
No I meant the second guy of the double team is a TE or RB along with the RT. (Watt rarely rushes the LT.) He does not naturally get that RG/RT or RG/C double that Suh gets.
Unless there is a twist or something, Watt is rarely rushing against interior linemen. So even when he does go inside, it is more of a delayed stunt designed to get him some free space in which to work.
He almost never just lines up in a 4-point stance in a gap in the phone booth where Suh lives every play.
I do agree that Watt is “better” than Suh, but you are talking an insignificantly tiny percent. Like Montana is better than Marino because he was more successful. I hope our new coaches give Suh more space in which to work this year.
Can’t really compare Watt to Suh since they play different positions.
Watt could not do what Suh does on the inside and probably Suh cannot pass rush like Watt.
Suh took over the Philadelphia game
that was his best game last season
http://www.thephinsider.com/2015/11/19/9761578/miami-dolphins-nadmukong-suh-dominates-philadelphia-eagles
He has definitely taken over the game at times in 2015
In theory there should be a few games like this for Suh a season
and I don’t think he was up to that level in 2015
especially at the start of the season
but the reality is he won’t take over games week in and week out
other people around him will b/c he commands so much attention
and that did not happen last year
now cue the Ryan Tannehill comparisons from people who say he same should apply to Tannehill on offense
the reality is once Suh signed that contract people were eager to criticize him and will continue to be
That is all that matters to some people
the criticism of Suh is not valid given his peers just voted him to the top 100 football players
but okay keep making the argument that he’s not a special player
Being voted #40 didn’t do him any justice. Players read the stats too. Not sure how the others on a team voting are supposed to know what it’s like to go against Suh. That’s the only true way for these polls to be valid.

It’s not the same on the outside, you can’t just slide a guard over when he’s going around the end. When the middle is clogged there’s no place to go. Suh got frustrated a lot last yr, because he was getting the extra attention and the guys behind him were Phibining it.
*************
specifically the LBs
The LBs were so bad last year
“Philbining it” LOL I like that.
Ima add that to my dictionary, Steve.
I like it too
and its accurate
if you have those players you need to be more aggressive
Then you should like this one too. The development of Ryan Tannehill has been stunted his first 4 yrs. In 2016 I expect to see a QB that will be unrecognizable. In 2015 RT was Philbinned.
Suh was also great vs the Giants but the refs let the OL chop him repeatedly which this year some of those are illegal now.
Yeah he was, I did many Suuuuuhhhh chants that night.
Chopping or cutting is pussy football, they should’ve removed them both. It’s really the equivalent to hitting someone in the nuts.
I’m just here so I won’t get fined
In a response above I wrote that Suh should lineup on the outside on early downs. I know teams will exploit this by throwing more early, but against teams that like to run it a lot, like the jets I’d use it. To keep teams like the cheats honest I’d lineup Suh outside and move Branch inside, but not on consecutive plays, it would be done as a shift. There’s lots of versatility on our DL, I hope we use it this yr. Gase talks about having RBs that can play all 3 downs, I think we can do the same on the DL, and move guys around.
When GSW win game 7 by 20+ pts it will be obvious to everyone how fixed the individual games were. There hasn’t been a close game yet.
Games 1 and 2 in Oakland, the Warriors were allowed to grab, foul, mug… Lebron
Game 3 Clev was allowed to return the favor on GSW stars.
Game 4 GSW overcame the officiating and still won.
Game 5 Green was suspended to give Clev. the advantage, and they got calls on the road.
Game 6 Clev. again got every call, but that wasn’t enough they even fouled out Curry on several questionable calls.
Like I’ve mentioned I want the Cavs to win.
I think GSW seems to have been taking lessons at the OKC flop school, as I haven’t noticed them doing it before this series.
I actually think Philbin was good for Tannehill early in Tannehill’s career
but I think Philbin ended up being much too cautious and eventually hurt Tannehill
We’ll find out soon enough if Tannehill can take his game to another level and that having more audible options is key to that.
I agree, as I said above.
If wins and losses are attributed to the QB, then Philbin was awful for Tannehill.
I think its possible for a bad (or mediocre most of the time) coach ends up being good for a QB
I thought Philbin did a good just bringing Tannehill along slowly
but then it just got too slow
I just fined SB $10,000 for his comment
He is sneaky funny
Or you could just take away his mittens.
Big ole meanie
Piggy
Ask Colin Kaepernick if he thought Jim Tomasula was better for his career than Jim Harbaugh
Ask him if half the defense retiring helped too
Wasn’t Kaepernick already regressing under Harbaugh though?
yes and he should be out of the league soon based on his rate of regression
It’s gotta be a mental thing. He does struggle with certain passes but he played at a high level before. Did the league just figure him out?
Gase says that Doughty “finds completions”, says he asked him why he threw one ball that wasn’t part of the play and Doughty responded, “he was open”.
This is pretty cool

Yeah I saw that. Very cool!

They have a great pool
Hope you have oink screen on
“Orange is the new Lesbian” season 3 drops today on Netflix
Kaepernick definitely began his decline under Harbaugh
I don’t think the coaching has anything to do with his 2016 year
he was exposed as a limited QB with some serious accuracy problems before the 2015 offseason
The point I was making was that a bad coach can be a good qb coach
and good for a qb, even though they aren’t good for winning
and I d think Philbin’s slow and steady style was good for Tannehill early in Tannehill’s career
but we started to building a better offense with better weapons
and then the whole thing was never exploited
Well it’s year 5, the training wheels have to come off and the little bird either flies or goes splat on the sidewalk.
Well we hear from everyone on the team that the training wheels have come off. It wasn’t just Tannehill either, that was how the offense was constructed – you run this play with a run/pass option but we’re not changing the entire play. Being that we were usually 3 WR/1 RB out of shotgun, it was simplistic, either call the counter draw or throw the friggin bubble screen regardless of what the defense was doing. Dumb!
some one sold me this oink screen
but I don’t know, they usually smell like coconut or something exotic
this one smells a little different
(Piggy Shrugs)
No no that’s a REAL good one, be sure to brush er a I mean rub some on every 20 minutes. Θ
LOL!
My wife and I used Stubbs quite a bit years ago. Now we use all sorts of stuff. LOL
Well, I just wrote a D-ish post about Tannehill and the supposed mistakes of how he was coached….and the proliferation of excuse-making on his behalf.
***
But, the new, kinder, more homer-blind Randy will just say: GO TANNEHILL!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
I don’t need to make excuses for him because I don’t think he’s bad. Is he elite, no, but neither are a lot of other QBs who win with their teams. Do I hope he can take his game to another level, absolutely, but I think we can win with him the way he is if we play all three phases well and have balance on offense. That’s always been my stance and I have yet to see it. Go Gase and Christensen!!! Please getter done. LOL
Tim
You rubbed it all over each other?
Aren’t you supposed to just rub it on your STUBB ?
LOL
Tim,
I’d just like to actually give a shit about the playoffs again. I don’t have any hopes for Tannehill getting demonstrably better. I won’t be surprised if his INTs go up more than his TDs this season. I just hope we can build a good enough team to start winning consistently. I’m past expecting Tannehill to win games for us. I hope I’m wrong!
Why would you think his INTs would go up more than his TDs based on his last 3 seasons – +7, +15, +12? What’s the reasoning for it? He’s not a high INT guy, never has been. He gets treated like that though and I never got it.
What did I miss? Looks like Pig uses BBQ sauce for suntan lotion, Tim and his wife rub it on their stubbs, anything else?
Okay let’s settle down. It’s a fucking marinade for cooking. LOL
