Q – So our leading rusher through 3 games is our QB. That’s not good. But do you think the RB rotation is also affecting those numbers? Seems to me that no one is going to get 15+ carries this year.
Oinks
Pigsgerald
There’s no question that the RB rotation has a huge effect on those stats, but so did Gase’s decision to leave a healthy Jay Ajayi home the first week of the season. I think he’s giving all these guys a shot, and why not do it early on? It’s so hard to really gauge what they can do in practice and in the pre season, especially with fewer practices, and the fact that so many of our RB’s weren’t healthy before the season, and we didn’t have Foster, who of course went down himself after game 1.
I don’t have any problem at all how he’s handling the RB’s so far, and I think once he finds the 2 or 3 guys he’s comfortable with, we’ll be seeing lots more of those guys and not much of the others. I do think once he arrives at that decision, which may still be 2-3 games out, whoever those 2 main guys are will see at least 15 carries, or at least one of them will.
My guess is if Foster can’t stay or get healthy, Drake and Ajayi will be the 2 main guys and Pead will be the next guy up. Of course, those 3 guys have to stay healthy in their own right.

Q -Now that you’ve seen 3 games, what’s your updated prediction for Miami’s won-lost record this season? Thank you, again, for all you do for this site.–OD
Call me crazy, and I know you will OD, I’m sticking with my 10-6. We will get things straight, we will improve, and we will play better as a result. Gase, as opposed to the udder guys will not settle for less, and will find the players that will get it done. Most likely, it will be most of the players that are starting right now, but putting them on notice is an intelligent way to let them know they’re accountable for their play, and poor play will not be tolerated.
While watching them struggle against the Browns was as enjoyable as peeling off my eyelids, pouring kosher salt in my eyes, and then staring at the sun for 3 hours straight, I still believe we can be winners. I think Tannehill is going to have a big year, and not just be a stat padder. I think he’s going to help us win games this season, and I think 9 more wins are coming.

Q -Mike,
Sorry it’s not email, but here’s my question:
Give us a good 3 year plan to build a perennial playoff team from what Miami has right now.
One thing for sure is we have to stick with a Head Coach, and give him a chance. I can’t be 100% positive, but I think Adam Gase is the right guy. We need to give him an opportunity to continue with his vision, and allow things to come together. That’s easier said than done, but we can’t continue to purge both the coaching staff and the roster every 2-3 years, it’s like treading water, you spend lots of energy, but you don’t get anywhere.
The next thing we need to do is improve the roster on the defensive side of the ball. We need more talent at CB, find a partner for Xavien Howard to make a solid young CB tandem. We need talent at LB, sure tacklers, smart players that put themselves in the right position to make plays, and ones that can actually make the tackle when they’re there. I think we can upgrade all 3 spots at LB, but that’s hard to do in one draft, but we might be able to find 1 or 2 in the draft.
The next thing I think we should do is think long term, maybe 3 years down the line. Stop trying to find the one player that will put us over the top, because that doesn’t happen in football. We’re far away from just needing one way, I’d rather have 4 talented players than 1 great player. Let’s draft that player, but stop overspending for that player in FA. That’s where I think we’ve gone wrong year after year, always making that one big splash, but as you can see, that hasn’t paid dividends here. Oh, and can we finally draft a really good TE!!!! That’s more than 3, but I had to throw it in there.
Gase is in his place
Draft better, especially on defense
No excessive spending in FA, more specifically, on one player

from Stanger
Q – What are the three best units on this team?
And when I ask that thinking LBs, DEs, DTs, Safeties, Corners, OL (but you can break up), WRs, RBs, TEs, QBs and kickers are units.
stanger
I think right now our safeties, WR’s and DT’s, although the depth is definitely best at WR, with Parker, Landry, Stills, Carroo and Grant. Can’t remember where we’ve had this much talent, and YOUNG talent. Carroo is the youngest at 22, and Stills the oldest at 24. This unit will hopefully grow into something like what the Packers had years ago, when Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver and James Jones. It would be nice if Ryan Tannehill also became Aaron Rodgers too, but we can dream, right? I think our ST’s unit is also great, with the exception of K Andrew Franks. He’s not bad necessarily, but I think Darr looks much better than average, and I think Landry and Grant can be the best in the business.
Love the duo of Jones and Abdul-Quddus, Isa has impressed me, and Jones has been for years now. We have to keep these guys together for a while too, so we can get some consistency back there. Draft another stud CB, and we can have a shot at becoming one of the better secondaries in the NFL.

from David
Q – my Question to You is,
How can We stop the run? and When?
We get gashed by RB, over and over and over, even when we KNOW the other team is going to run. I feel like We cant turn the corner until we can stop the run.
Thanks, David
Unfortunately, the answer isn’t good. I would say 2017, when we start drafting some LB’s, and maybe pick another one up in FA. I think we have the pieces on the D-line to be stout against the run, but DT’s and DE’s don’t usually make the tackles, it’s the other 3 guys of the front 7 that have clean it up, and between Alonso, Misi and Jenkins, they just aren’t getting it done, and are definitely not making the tackles in their gap assignments, rather 5-10 yards down field. That’s just not doing your job correctly, and sometimes when they’re in the right gap, they just aren’t wrapping up. I don’t expect a lot of improvement this year, but it’s possible. Jenkins can’t seem to stay healthy, and Misi either, but maybe 2 other guys step up and start getting it done. Not likely though.

And now for the babe of the week . . .
Finsmob Unleashed 
Oh Shelia
oops, I forgot about today being Ask Mike….did a Game Day post….luckily I think it was scheduled for earlier than this one. My bad!
Herd
I wasn’t even thinking about the game day post. My bad too. I knew we were playing tonight, just wasn’t thinking of it in regards to the article. Silly me!
Check this out . . .
Yesterday morning I’m about to leave for work, and I’m in the kitchen, and the garage is right off the kitchen. I hear what sounds kind of like a mixture between a bird and a cat scream. In the house, I can’t tell if it’s coming from the front or the back. Then I go in the garage, and it’s louder, so I figure it must be in the front. I get in my car in the garage and drive to work, forgetting about it.
I get home at about 5:40, and I hear it really loud, but and it almost sounds like it’s in the garage. We both pull our cars out so we can look in the garage, can’t find anything, but now it sounds like it’s outside. My wife had to make a quick trip to her mom’s, so he leaves, and comes back 15 minutes later, and we hear it again. We eat dinner, and then start looking again, and it’s starting to get dark. A neighbor and her boyfriend walk by when the cat or bird starts screaming again, kind of like a hawk, or a cat in distress. They hear it and say where is it coming from, sounds like the car. We open all the doors, the hatch, can’t find it, but we still hear it loud and clear. I’m using a flashlight, looking under the car, can’t find it, but it’s loud like it’s right there.
My neighbor finally sees it, it’s a kitten under the car in the undercarriage. He’s right on top of where the spare tire is located under the car. He won’t come out, and we can’t reach it. As soon as he got close, the kitten would move away, further to the middle of the car. Then it sounds like it’s in the front, so we pop the hood, and there he is in the engine bay, but we can’t reach it. It’s totally able to get out, but we think it’s scared and warm inside the undercarriage, and that’s why it won’t come out. We called animal control, and a really nice girl comes out, but she can’t get it, because it kept moving from the back of the car to the front, always outside reach. We put food out in a bowl inn a box for the cat, with milk, hoping it would come out and eat, it didn’t.
This morning, as I was going to my car, I didn’t hear the kitten, so I figured it’s either gone or worse, dead. I walk outside, and sure enough, I hear it loud and clear, but it’s now across the street. Not sure if it was under someone else’s car, but I’m glad it’s out of ours! Crazy shit!
You may want to try or have your neighbor try to call local cat rescue shelter. I used to volunteer at one and they had that would handle situations like that
We did that last night, she couldn’t get the kitten out. I’m not sure where it is now, but it’s meowing was across the street for sure.
They will likely set a trap so they can capture it and bring it into the shelter
Ken
She was going to do that last night, but she didn’t have a trap with her
Mike E — did the cat look like this?……that would be a good sign.
LOL – They will look like that tonight!
Pretty darn long list with some real keys names……and this is for game four.

Proof That The News Media Is Inciting A Race War
http://bluelivesmatter.blue/race-war/
I blame the media for the total clusterfuck we’re in as far as presidential candidates. Anyone sane and capable would say no way in hell I’m going to put myself and my family thru this bullshit.
I’m also very proud my phone autocompleted clusterfuck!
nice job mike. I don’t see this team winning 10 games unless something miraculous happens.
BTW who is david? Is that the David that used to post here?
I wonder what happens tonight without Misi & Jenkins available at LB.
I think Hewitt should start over both of them anyway. He’s not as experienced but he’s more athletic than either of them and goes for interceptions way more than them.
Mike,
We know for sure that Jarvis will play LOL
That guy has the most heart on the team
I had us winning 10 games this year too…until we lost our 4th preseason game. Now I have us at 9 total wins.
the line is 9.5 now. It started at 7. Everyone is taking the bengals in a blowout.
This game will come down to whether or not we can stop their running backs. If we can’t, it’s gonna be a long night. If they can make us bring our safeties up, they have the players to hurt us deep. I’d like to see our coaching staff actually do something to impact the game. Do something different. Think outside the box. Take away what they do best. Something. This coaching staff hasn’t done much schematically to impact games. I see the same old shit….and no significant adjustments in game or week to week.
***
And, you bench an OL for two “bad” plays but leave your QB in who has several? Double standard for the pretty boys. But no…you can’t bench a QB…that’s sacrilege. If Tannehill actually had even rudimentary pocket awareness neither of those plays would have happened…but yeah…bench James. Genius. Tannehill sucks at reading a defense…going thru his progressions…and actually reading where the pressure is coming pre-snap and/or feeling pressure as the play develops. It’s not toughness to stand in the pocket like a statue and do nothing to avoid pressure. He’s already responsible for about half a dozen sacks. I’d be getting sick and tired of it if I was one of his OL. He does nothing to make his OL’s job easier. He makes their job harder. They have no room for error playing in front of this guy. Call me a hater if you like, but I keep seeing the same shit over and over.
Oh geez. We’ve only allowed 6 sacks this year so I guess they’re all on Tannehill. Yeah he never escapes the pocket and bails out the OL. Nope never. So when he does do that multiple times I’m not really seeing that. LOL
Our run defense and run offense are our biggest issues right now. But you keep blaming one guy. 😉
Hopefully the Phins who were not overly happy with their performance against the Browns even though they won will motivate them to really ball tonight. Hope so! LOL
Tim,
Huh….I may or may not have chosen that number at random.
I’ll say this, I bet you if we start to play better run defense and run the ball better we start looking like a much better team. I know that’s kind of elementary but it’s true. It helps with complementary football and opens up our passing game and our pass rush. If those two areas don’t get better not much is going to change with this team.
For the record I’ve seen progress in our pass pro and I’m not blaming them for everything but it wasn’t good in the SEA game. We were pressured on almost 50% of our pass attempts which lead the league week one. NE got some pressure on us but no sacks and we allowed just 1 last week but that one caused the fumble.
James wasn’t benched because of 2 plays, he was benched because of ongoing issues since week one and Gase had enough and sent a message. Which I like. There hasn’t been a point this season to bench Tannehill.
Cincy has a horrible record in prime time with Dalton. They’ve run the league low least amount of plays this year with a lead and are struggling in the red zone. We need to solid tonight and we can beat them. Stopping the run is key, getting a lead will help the defense.
son,
With the issues on our OL, another key will be whether or not we can handle inside pressure. I’d look for a lot of plays to the edge. I don’t see us having a lot of success running up inside with Burfict back. Run some misdirection stuff and take advantage of his aggressiveness in his first game back.
I expect to see more bootlegs and roll-outs tonight. I do hope we try to run more though. Even if only 2-3 yards. It’s when it becomes 0 and – yards that you can’t keep going to it. We’ve gotta start getting more push up front in the running game but we’re already banged up at C with Steen now dealing with a high ankle sprain and Pouncey out. So Urbik might have to start or play at some point. But he didn’t look bad when he came in so hopefully he can do the job if called on.
Drake has great speed to the outside. It’d be nice to see go crazy.
Williams looked really good catching passes in the flats last week.
Drake has excellent speed and Williams is an excellent receiver. Utilize it.
son,
I also don’t think it’s just stopping the run. I think it’s also stopping Bernard out of the backfield catching passes. Our edge defenders need to play much better disciplined football than they have so far.
Agreed, discipline is an issue and VJ spoke about it. He said we preach attack attack attack but we still need to play blocks better when it’s a run and we have not been doing that nearly enough.
And stop throwing for 4 when we need seven. Ugggggg
I saw Reeshad! grabbing his knee after one play someone even posted it when it happened but he immediately got a hand up and looked good. I think that was even before that huge safety blitz.
SURE HOPE HE PLAYS!
REEESHAD THE MAN!!
That haven’t said anything about him not playing.
He IS the man.
Pro Bowl!

Tim,
Sometimes this game seems complicated. But, defensively, it almost always comes down to one thing: gap responsibility. Everything starts there. If that’s not sound, everything else falls apart.
Absolutely and that’s why everyone is ragging on the LBs. Our DL has vacated gap responsibility rushing the passer and then the opponent counters it with a run and there are huge gaps instead of smaller ones where the LBs can make the play. VJ said this as well.
Juice is Luice in the jungle tonight
So I’ve posted this before but I’ll reiterate these stats. We’re now 2-15 when RT throws either 36 or 37 times per game, I forget which one. I did the research last year. The Pats game was the latest one even though we got back into it and had a chance late but still fell short.
I was listening to Mike Francesa with Brian Billick who he has on every week during the football season and he threw out a stat about Cam Newton. When he passes 35 times or more the Panthers are 7-16. The Panthers had that great season last year because they ran the ball well along with Cam as a part of that, and their defense lead the league in turnovers giving the offense the ball back over and over and in good field position. They then passed off of that. When that doesn’t happen they’re not the same team even with Cam.
It just goes to show you, if you don’t play well in all phases it doesn’t matter who you have at QB. Drew Brees still puts up big numbers but the Saints defense is bad and they’re 0-3.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/2580/drew-brees
Guarantee that everyone listed as questionable on our team plays tonight, and we’re gonna beat the Bengals tonight, 27-24. GO DOLPHINS!
Randy
Which gap are you responsible for?
Boulder
Thanks bud – Yes, that was David who used to post here.
Oh, and you’re probably right, I’m unusually optimistic this year, not sure why.
I think you have more faith in these coaches as most seem to be. We’ll see.
Call me a hater if you like, but I keep seeing the same shit over and over.
BLIND hater. you really are.
Well when you turn everything over there are going to be growing pains.
I would change my Avi back to show which Gap I would like to be responsible for, but my Avi got this site blocked for someone. (yeah right, how did the IT person who blocked it know I changed it back. I call BS Mike and I am pretty sure who put you up to it)
Well I’m not sure how that works but once you change it all of your posts change with the new avi so the previous one no longer exists.
Rock, let it go man, it’s not a big deal. We have one female blogger here and she doesn’t want to see sexism with females. Notice the BOTW has been toned down. It’s just being respectful, that’s all.
The way it’s setup is you log on, your login is associated with your avi, and every post of yours has the current avi, so when you change the avi and the page refreshes it puts the new avi on all posts. Think of each refresh as a new instance, or a new snapshot.
For instance, I posted pictures of hot babes for awhile until I realized Herd wasn’t digging it. So I stopped and haven’t since. I’m okay, it’s all good. 🙂
That’s what I said. LOL
What I meant by not sure how it works is I’m not how IT determines images as good or bad from a technical standpoint.
Mike Garafolo ✔ @MikeGarafolo
Bengals waive LB Trevor Roach to make room for LB Vontaze Burfict, who will play tonight. Plan is for limited snaps but it’s a loose plan.
Burfict hasn’t practiced at all this year has he? Or did he get reps in the preseason and was only suspended for regular season games? Even so, he hasn’t practiced in 4 weeks, how can he play?
Hopefully he’ll have 2 or 3 unsportsmanlike penalties being so amped up to play. As long as none of our guys get hurt due to it. 🙂
What I meant by not sure how it works is I’m not how IT determines images as good or bad from a technical standpoint.
They don’t / cant. It’s total bull shit, but I have complied.
The only thing I can think of is how Gravatar rated your pics. The have G, PG, R and X ratings. Some systems may block the R and X ratings.
But let’s move on, we’ve all complied. 🙂
but you set the rating when you upload your pick and I rated them all G
Tim, I’m hoping he is out of sync with the other players due to not getting the reps in. But with our luck he will ball like he’s been there all year and blow us the F up.
LOL, I wouldn’t be shocked.
COMPLIANCE!!!! Thanks Rock!
Rock
I think Gravatar knows you too well, so even when you set the rating at G it changes it to X. 🙂
I once couldn’t post because I guess I didn’t click G quick enough and my avi was given an R or X rating. That was a few years ago.
One time in band camp, I . . . . .
PG at the very worst! SMH
I’m not as concerned with our offense as I am with our defense for tonight’s game. I think Jeremy Hill is going to have a big night against us and we will react by bringing Jones down into the box more which will cost us TD’s when Green blows past Maxwell or Howard. I am expecting some big chunk yard plays to be given up by our D while their Oline allows our DT’s to run up the field toward the QB while their running back is running past them and our LB’s.
Mike, where are you in the Midkemia world right now? Are you still reading Fiest?
I finished the Riftwar saga, and I really enjoyed it.
I just blew through the “Conclave of Shadows” trilogy. It took me a week. I was flying a lot the last two weeks and got stuck on a layover. Between the 5 hour layover and the 4 hour flight I read a whole book. LOL (well 2 chapters short of finishing it in “one sitting”.
I was just looking at team stats and we are 7th in the league in offense in “yards per play” but we are 17th in yards per game and 20th tin total points. We need our D to step up so we can run more plays………;-)
Andy Dalton is in first place in 20+ yard completions with 16. Ryan Tannehill is in second place with 15.
I killed the blog. I guess no one can get on now. LOL
Man you know whats worse than seeing all of us implode about our team and the way we play is watching this guys solemn resignation to his team’s last loss.
That’s basically my temperament during games. I root and root but accept what it is. LOL
Andy Dalton & Cam Newton lead the league in sacks so far this year with 12. RT has been sacked 6 times, but they were all his fault…
Did you see how bad Cam Newton made it worse by running backwards and then turning his back to the rush even deeper in the pocket with the Vikings bearing down on him for some of those sacks? RT does that fans are calling for him to be gone.
I wonder if Carolina fans are freaking out about Cam’s 58% completion percentage and 78.0 passer rating so far this year? or his 5 Int’s
I hope that we can somehow pull of a win tonight. I have serious concerns about our ability to keep Tannehill upright, and our DT’s are deplorable against the run.
I have no idea how this game will go. I don’t consider the Bengals a juggernaut so I’m hopefully optimistic on the road. 🙂

I replied up above, but realized there were like 20 comments since then. I just finished the riftwar saga last week
not sure if this was posted
“The Miami Dolphins today announced they have signed guard Jamil Douglas from their practice squad to the active roster. “
Center depth. Steen is questionable and Pouncey is out. Urbik is the next man up.
Mike E, are you going to read the Empire series? It is different because the protagonist is a girl but after I settled in I thought it was actually superior to the riftwar Saga
I guess so, but I might take a break from it for a while, read some other genres to switch it up. I’m in the middle of reading Baldacci’s 2nd book in the Amos Decker series. First book was really good, 2nd one is good, but not quite as good as the 1st.
Now we know why they cut the WR
….for balance of course.
I think there is a mental health rule that would prevent that

why, did cincy send in place a lingerie team…well wait i meant a high schoo…..no i mean just people from the stan……damn doubt they can beat them too. i mean did cincy just forfeit.
I like Lippett. We need somebody to get a INT. Maybe Hewitt can get one. Or Phillips can swallow one and rumble for some quality yards. I feel an erratic night for Dalton coming on.
I want to see Howard with the ball in his hands
Brandon Albert will not start because of ankle injured on winning TD run last week. Tunsil will move over to LT and Billy Turner starts at LG.
Damien Williams gets the start at RB!!!
Go Williams you obviously impressed coach
You looked good last week
Donald Butler and Paysinger will start at LB along with Alonso.
We may be in for a long night
They have a young TE Uzomah who is a close friend of my son’s GF. They went to high school with Ja’Wuan James. Uzomah went to Auburn. He is having a good season, but they still miss Eifert of course.
Jarvis Landry’s one handed catches look awesome on the highlights show, but I wish he would stop it and get both hands on the catch!
I wonder if the Dolphins will be better off with Tunsil at LT.
I saw Howard with the ball in his hands last week, and then it wasn’t
Yup. It was on the ground shortly after.
Damien starting is just another step in the experimentation of who wants to be the man.
Gase is giving everyone a shot to prove their worth.
I get the impression Gase fully asserted himself and hopefully/possibly he sent this team on a winning track
Go Dolphins 🐬👍🍻
Hey Son: Sorry forgot to email ya last night.. i spoke with Phindog and we will book the van..
Cool
Who the Hell is playing on the Oline ??? especially Center ?
Kraig Urbik
Albert, Tunsil, Urbik, Bushrod, James
we called up Douglas for back-up center.
Oops, Tunsil, at LT. Maybe Douglas at LG?
no Sanu … no Marvin Jones… so lots of pressure on Green. Also they have 3 new position coaches and Hue’s gone too.
They’re ripe for a team that should be getting hungry
we are 3-1 when wearing the orange jerseys. Let’s make it 4-1 LET’S GO DOLPHINS!!
Mike,
Albert is inactive tonight
Mike,
Turner is at LG. Douglas backup centee
Yeah, just caught that. Tunsil at LT, Turner at LG, Urbik at C, Bushrod RG, James RT
Should be interesting
What color are the Bungles wearing?
Probably something ugly
They are actually pretty cool.

Thanks Rock
My five keys to the game tonight….
1. Gase needs to be more aggressive, especially in the first half.
2. QB play has to improve
3. WR play has to improve
4. RB play has to improve

MIKE E.–MIKE — Yes, you’re correct in predicting I will disagree with your 10-6 prediction for the Fins this season. Tonite’s band-aid O-Line, lacking quality depth, will eventually crumble. And Tannehill will pay the price. 2016 will NOT see the Fins break the .500 mark for yet another year. Now I sure hope YOU’RE RIGHT AND I’M WRONG. –I hope Tannenbaum has stacked this team with plenty of studs —- NOT PLENTY OF DUDS!!

Less than an hour before kickoff. And I’m already starting to feel like that poor, miserable, Browns fan up the page. Get me a dog biscuit!
randy gregory suspended 10 additional games.
josh gordon checks into rehab.
