We need to keep Terrance West in check, and don’t let Flacco hit deep passes on us. He hasn’t been doing it all year, Smith is still his best receiver. Wallace is having a decent season, and Pitta is one of his favorite targets.
Page turn mofo’s!
I think our offense can score on anyone if we can block a little bit.
The key to the offense is the oline. This game will come down to how well our oline can block for Ajayi and protecting tanny. I’m not worried as much about flacco and the ravens offense.
If you were chewing gum and wearing sunglasses, I’d think this post was written by Tony Sparano
Just a little bit. LOL
Are any of you guys in touch with NJ from the SS blog? Seems like I remember him being in Gatlinburg now and from what I hear the whole place burned down.
He’s in Tennessee now, owns an Italian restaurant with his brother.
I think his mom still lives there though, now that I think about it.
Herd
Sorry, NJ used to live in Guttenberg NJ, that’s what I thought of when I saw Gatlinburg. He’s in Sieverville I believe
That’s where I’m talking about. Sievervillle, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are all pretty much together.
I said that last night
GET FLACCO!
We are not scoring lots of points this time.

KIKO ALANSO KICKS ASS!
So I go to put my ‘alternate’ coffee cup in the dishwasher before I left work and my missing mug is in there. I’m going to stake out the kitchen in the morning and catch whoever the thief is. Lol
i just leave mine on my desk at all times.. after about three months or so I will wash it out.. MAN it makes the next cup taste weird..
🙂
But no one uses it..

Is your alternate mug a color rush mug
Maybe a throwback?

I saw it, I just got busy here in my office. I reached out to him, he said it’s very bad there, air quality. As far as I know, no damage to his restaurants or home. He answered me hurriedly, as I’m sure he has his hands full.
MikeE
why is he not on the Blog anymore? Tell him Howie misses talking to him about Steve Austin and Andre the Giant 🙂
Well maybe not now, Hope the fires go out before they hit his house
Dolly has been big news this Christmas season and now these awful fires but ET did cut her short tonight to let us know that Kanye went to the bathroom today…
Howie
After the blogs split, I guess he found other things to do. He has the 2 restaurants now, so that’s definitely keeping him busy. I’ll tell him though Howie, I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of that.
Wishing the best for all dealing with those fires. It’s been raining all day here and everything is wet. Then you think somewhere else that’s not the deal.

I was sure Tom Brady would be getting all the accolades last week After all I saw of his heroics monday morning in that steJ comeback.

OD says: A YOUNG CO-WORKER, his fiancee, and a couple of other friends who went to their FIRST Dolphins game yesterday stopped at a HOOTERS in Naples on the way back to Tampa from the game. Almost two hours after the game, the patrons were STILL celebrating Miami’s last play win over San Francisco! NAPLES IS A HUGE DOLPHINS TOWN and the residents are truly pumped over the 6-game winning streak! I really haven’t seen south Florida Dolfans this excited about the team since 2000!!
YEAH BABY NAPLES ROCKS THE DOLPHINS!
Isn’t Napeles a 2 hour time zone from Miami ? 😎
Naples is like 8 hours ahead of us.
Tannehill had his best game of the season and it marked the second time this season he was the top overall quarterback for the week.

Sshhh my brother .. Don’t stir the pot . He might have over/under threw a receiver on one play and that’s all it takes even though the pass was caught… 😎

Not sure what either of you guys mean, but Hard Rock Stadium is about 95 miles from my house.
Due East straight across the uninhabited Everglades on I-75.
PS:
Sorry about the late reply to OD, but I sometimes have to work really late and I can never blog from work.
I think it was a joke reference to Naples, Italy…
You are correct Sir.. BTW.. That was some kick ass brew !!! We are in the OC and both me and my son want to to know where we can get it.. Hell we are willing to to drive up north to Santa Barbara and take a tour..
I was not at Hooters (I have actually NEVER been to a Hooters, as I do not like wings.)
But my two sons and one of their close friends and my wife and I were in a huge horde rockin’ the hell out of Miller’s Ale House, and the same type of overflow raucous crowd was at Kim Bokamper’s just down the street from there.

You better buckle your chin strap for this one! 🙂
that’s what I’m thinking. this could be a very low scoring affair; maybe even 13-10 or even 12-10 but I don’t think either offense is going to put up a lot of points. Our D and our st’s will need to continue to create scoring opportunities for our offense and we’re really going to need to play our most complete game of the year to come away with a win in this one.
In case anyone hasn’t noticed yet? 😉
I think so Lou
I don’t see Baltimore having anyone that gives up fits on offence!
No running QB
No stud TE
Steve Smith is the one that will give them the best chance
If the front 4 do their thing Wallace won’t have time to go deep
The big question is going to be the offensive line. If we go into the game with Moe & Larry on the left side we won’t be able to get anything going on offense. So, the D and st’s are going to need to help us out either with some points or turnovers.
Even I’ve been to Hooter’s. lol
Well I’ve never been to Hooters
But I kinda like the Boobies
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it……….la di da
Donald Hawkins is now a free agent and Sam Young still has a job. Crazy world we live in. In any case, I say it’s imperative the Phins bring him back to shore up the T position for the road ahead.
Young got whipped so many times on Sunday his jock strap was two sizes too big by the time the game was over.

are we 7-5 and tied w/BUF after this game; do they find a way to upset OAK? Do we stay ahead of BUF in the East or do they catch us and finish 2nd?
I think more people go to Hooters for the breasts, not the wings.

Lol. I get here this morning and the dishwasher hasn’t been unloaded but my cup is missing. Has to be one of those asses in IT. They get here pretty early. I’d go stroll around and look for it but they are behind locked doors.

Hey, did you know that Tony Lippett played WR in college? Yeah, that’s right.

Vinnie — join us at a Fest sometime and I have a great story about a Hooters girl, a cop and a real funny stalker caught……sounds like the start of a joke, but it wasn’t.
Ever been this late for work and stuck In traffic
Holy yit — thought was going to end badly.
Fill up your cars now as gas prices are going to start to up again with OPEC deal that was just announced, as they are all reducing output.
Blah blah!!!

I noticed that this morning, went up 20 cents in on day.
Around here it got down to 1.99 and stayed there for the past week or so
When will Law enforcement come to grips? They are just now figuring out This OSU kid was inspired by ISIS.
Goodness, I could have told them that the second I heard his name was Abdul
They have to be careful with racial/religious profiling.
Liked the guy, but was glad we passed on Charles Clay at the price. Not like Cameron has worked out that well either…..but he was cheaper.
—————————
“Clay signed a risky five-year, $38 million offer sheet the Bills thought would both bolster their offense while dealing a blow to the division-rival Dolphins.
The matchup problems and big-play ability Clay was expected to offer have not materialized. Despite having the NFL’s seventh-highest average annual contract value among tight ends, Clay ranks 28th among his position in receiving yards per game and 28th in yards per catch. With 36 catches for 323 yards, Clay is on pace for 469 receiving yards, which would be his least-productive season since 2012. His average of 9.0 yards per catch is the lowest of his career, and Clay has yet to score a touchdown this season. “
I think his knee/knees might be affecting him. He had knee issues with us and they continued in BUF.
He was still never going to be a dominating TE. Could win SB MVP as that extra option in a great O (thinking Warder and the turf show), but you get the idea…..
Seems like a quiet rainy day on here, but, the show must go on!

Leon Orr made his way off the PS to active……sounds like he won’t be going back on it.
————————————-
Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Leon Orr was arrested Tuesday and faces charges for possession of marijuana and a controlled substance, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
When deputies approached Orr’s car, they “could immediately smell the odor of the marijuana coming from inside the vehicle,”
Deputies began searching his car. They found “what appeared to be three glass vials containing what appeared to be marijuana wax.” They also found “a green plastic bottle containing a red liquid inside.” The front label of the bottle read “kush syrup.”
Tim
Are you pigjudice!
What is pig juice….oh never mind, I read that wrong.
Do you now how many ladies ask themselves the same question after spending time with me….
Marijuana wax? Guess I’ve been out of the loop and missed out on some new products. Lol
Orr has been released. How stupid to ruin a one in a million chance to play in the NFL because you’re too stupid to pass up weed.
Least Orr has something going for him — didn’t look stoned at all in his mug shot.

Adam Beasley ✔ @AdamHBeasley
Gase said “there’s absolutely a chance” Xavien Howard plays this week. Earl Mitchell missed practice today with a back injury.
Wow this article by mando is interesting. I guess philbin wasn’t such a hardass afterall.
“And the culture he’s tried to instill has taken root and is starting to bloom.
“I think it’s been mostly a gradual (shift) through the progression of the season,” Gase said. “We would have one or two things a week. It wouldn’t be always these huge (things), like this guy isn’t playing because of this. It wasn’t things like that all the time, just little tiny irritant things for a coach where, ‘Why can’t we just be on time?’ Some of those things happen every once in a while and it happens in every organization and it’s frustrating when it does because this is your job. It would be like any of us not being where we’re supposed to be and just kind of shrugging your shoulders, not really caring. That was something we felt like we needed to get changed fast and we needed to make sure we were doing the right things because it does matter on Sunday. It all adds up at the end of the day.”
Ready for the bombshell?
Gase believes this stuff needed to be “changed fast” because it had gone on too long before he arrived. That’s right, Joe Philbin — obsessive in picking up wads of paper from the practice field and not having certain personalities on the team — apparently let this other stuff happen more than we know.
“I think that’s how it has been here for the last how many whatever years,” Gase said. “That’s just what it was.”
Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article117982903.html#storylink=cpy“
I guess that’s why the team got worse not better under Philbin. Ugh!
So I guess Davis going to the bathroom was a bigger deal than being late to meetings etc..
Crowder a couple days ago told the story about how he showed up like 15 minutes late for a team meeting. One of his coaches asked why and Crowder said, “cause of last night.”
He still got fined seven grand……but also guessing that is part of why he retired so young.
I’m not putting down Gase or defending Philbin
but factor in that Gase is in his first year
and guys in t heir first year usually come in like wrecking balls
Sometimes, over time, they get into bad habits too
Philbin may have not starting off shrugging his shoulders at late players until after his first year
He may have come in very ambitious to change the culture too….and failed
it happens
I’m just saying
we are in the honeymoon phase right now
To The Moon Alice !!!
My issue was how the team got worse in Philbin’s 4th season. That’s not suppose to happen unless you get hit with a ton of injuries. We didn’t other than the OL being a mess. That doesn’t excuse poor defense. The team looked out of it before he was fired.
Well This is better than our last 7 marriages! 😉
Now everyone is mad at me
I’m not. I think what you said is probably true.
Oink right it is
What’s new hater? 😉
I think Gase has a better overall approach to changing things. Stand by for more on that in tomorrows Ask Mike
Gase didn’t know about Orr’s arrest until practice had started. Orr was fired before practice had finished. Suspected coming in the Gase was the high-thinking kind, but even if seems nice he has that other side too him as well.

lmao piggy.
well the good thing or at least some hope, in my honeymoon stage i was told no to getting f**ked so there is always that. although it did end up in a divorce years later but i will take years of not gettng f**ked and the fins a winner
and here is a good place to vent. spent the last two days with funeral services for my ex bro in law. i really dont get this god thing, he was truly one of the great people. this world needs more people like him. truly was a great person, i have no idea if there is a god or not but if there is why would he take him over pricks like me or some of the evil people in this world.
and sorry just a hard last night and today. besides i had to hug my ex wife. give me a break for today.

okay i for one do get that. kind of like i have always said about t hill. not putting him down or defending him. just always said he wasnt the issue the whole team is.
and with all of that, i am going to start drinking. my liver may hate me in the morning
Rob
Sorry man. Tough to comprehend when those things happen. It really is. You can Ask Mike, but I got nothing when it comes to that. Thankfully, time heals all bud, that much I’m sure of. Hang in there my friend!
Piggy loving him some Joe Philbin. JK. I will say there is a cultural difference between Philbin and Gase. Gase seems to take personal accountability much more seriously. I think Gase took control of this team the day he cut Thomas, Turner and Douglas. He made it clear that if you don’t do your job then you have no place on this team.Philbin did not seem to hold the players accountable for their play and practice habits.
mike,
thanks. i know this sounds kind of dumb, but there is lots of things that happens in a divorce. one was knowing i would not be with my kids every day. and i admit another i knew was not going to be able to spend time with him and his family. he was truly one of the great people, lol even if he was an attorney. (just a joke to you guys who are). it truly was one of the hardest funerals i have even had to endure.
and sorry to bring it here just this is good place to be and help deal with things.
Hey now. JK. Sorry for your loss
Stanger:
Charles Clay has a shitty QB throwing the ball to him. Say what you will about Tyrod Taylor but he is not a very good passer. He is athletic and has a very strong arm but his accuracy waxes and wanes and they don’t have him throw very much at all.
Wax on wax off?
Then maybe Clay is thinking he should have signed with the Pats for less. He’d be gold in that O…..even still not a TE who demands double coverage.
He would have been a stud in that offense
Rob
Don’t be sorry at all. I think this place is very therapeutic. There are plenty of ears to hear your grief, and try and help you through it. Like I said earlier, time will definitely heal, but man, it’s tough until that time arrives, you just cope as best you can. The human spirit is truly amazing though, the pain we can overcome. Really sorry for your loss, and even sorrier you had to hug your ex-wife. 😉
will say this. last night my brother laid into me. he has always claimed to be a dolphin too. but he is by far a bucs man, i think he was always more a marino fan. but he told me at dinner he says ‘hey the fins have one 6 in a row’. i kept saying who cares the didnt beat anyone and he said ‘stop being a dick, they won 6 in a row just enjoy it’ lol what are big brother for then pointing out a lil brother being a dick.
I don’t expect miracles from a coach, but at least add to the equation in some way. The more the better obviously, but I never was able to identify anything Philbin brought to the table.
Really sorry for your loss, and even sorrier you had to hug your ex-wife. 😉
lol you dont know the horror. LOL
(and all really just joking about it, she is okay, just got married too young. and her family is great. her dad and i always got along well. it was horrible watching him have to lay his son to rest like they say no parent should even have to do that.)

The guys on WQAM are talking about Sunday like it is a playoff game, and they do have a point.
Obviously some games down the road may mean more, but if you were to randomly shuffle the five left this one would be the most important as far as playoff position.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to price is right you there Mike E
Albert said his wrist felt good in practice, but a bigger test will come Thursday when he expected to get more reps.
In addition to Albert, Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Cornerback Xavien Howard again was limited as he continues his comeback from a knee injury, and guard Jermon Bushrod (calf) also was limited.
Five players did not practice: RB Kenyan Drake (knee), LB Jelani Jenkins (knee/hand), DT Earl Mitchell (back), WR DeVante Parker (back) and C Mike Pouncey (hip).
http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/Dolphins-Ravens-Wednesday-Injury-Reports/3d4bc7c6-83fe-4391-93b8-580f42e4d8df
My prediction
Balt 8 FG’s
Miami – 1 OF TD, 1 DF TD, 1 FG
(10 punts)
The other thing I like about Gase is he is much more aggressive in play calling. He has changed us from a dink and dunk passing attack to a much more vertical passing game. As a result Tannehill has increased his YPA significantly
Dolphins yanked the season tickets of the guys in the fight last Sunday. The story on that included the below…….guess who the three top arrest teams are.
” Three teams average more than 20 arrests per game, according to the Post’s study. Through the league last season there were 6.34 arrests per game.”
Hint — two play in Metlife and the other has Phillip RIvers as QB (and that one surprised me).
ffr I totally get the thing you said about if there is a god why do they let good people die and scum walk around without a care in the world. Pretty much how it was with my dad. A really good man who didn’t deserve what happened to him. We all are going to go one day but no one who is good should have to leave this world in the awful ways they do.
Rashawn Scott (WR) signed to 53
Who?
Why?
Depth for the WR in case Parker can’t play. They’ll likely leave him off the active roster if Parker plays.
Was he here in camp?
I’m not sure Son
Herd,
Marijuana wax is quite expensive, and not easy to come by. It’s smoked out a vape pen.
Yup
And that’s apparently something else I don’t know what it is. Lol
They do dabs with the wax too
Well ok. I’m totally out of it.
Peace Rob peace to your family
I had one of those vape pens with me the whole fest weekend
And clueless me was thinking the hidden secret was in the little cigars. 🙂
Did you?
Gee
Lol!
I just read the Parker is expected to be out this Sunday . That really sucks.
Maybe it can be offset by Howard coming back. It’s looking like he might be back Sunday.
Nah no blunts for me Stanger
Do you guys honestly believe our guys have the stones to go to Baltimore and take this game?
Do you believe?
Or is it hope?
We ready. 🐬🏈
I think Suh too 🐬👍🍻🇺🇸
Vegas says we are 3.5 point dogs. Think that fair. At the same time we are walking into a Div leader’s house with no need to say “any given Sunday.”
And heck yeah that means we got stones.
herd,
what so i mean. if there is a good god, why would he take one of the great guys. he is better off here helping others
ffr — there may be a god, but if he is good it is clear he is not all powerful. At the same time, life pays off for those who are good even if the health thing not always.
Maybe too deep — but celebrate that the guy who did live his life right. All you can do.
