The season finally begins for the Miami Dolphins! No need to explain why, we all know about Hurricane Irma, and what she did to FLA, and pertaining to football, what she did to the Dolphins and the schedule. So here comes GAME 1, and we’re already in LA, as the Dolphins traveled out a few days ago to get out away from Irma, and now start practicing for their 1st game of the season.
The Chargers gave the Broncos a good fight on MNF, coming all the way down to the last few seconds of the game, when Chargers kicker Younghoe Koo lined up for a game tying 44 yard FG, which the Broncos blocked in order to preserve the victory. The Broncos stuck to the ground game against the Chargers, with a combination of C.J. Anderson and former Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles. Denver rushed a total of 36 times, Anderson 20, Charles 10 and QB Trevor Semian 6, for a grand total of 140 yards, and QB Trevor Semian had the only rushing TD for DEN.
Although the Chargers didn’t run that much against the Broncos, if they have success against our front 7, I think they will continue to pound the ball on us with a combination of RB Melvin Gordon and Brandon Oliver. The Chargers only ran 22 times against DEN, but Rivers had success through the air, throwing 3 TD’s and completing 22 of 33 attempts for 192 yards. Of course being down 24-7 in the 3rd quarter changes your gameplan, so even if they wanted to run, they needed to throw to catch up.
The Dolphins O-line will be tested against these Chargers. The Chargers front 7 is stocked with talent. 2nd year DE Joey Bosa brings the heat from the Left side (Like Cam Wake), and DT’s Corey Liuget and Brandon Mebane are stout interior defenders along with another good pass rusher, DE Melvin Ingram. Ingram also moves to OLB, and that versatility makes him worth that much more. Dolphins need to know where Ingram is all the time.
The Dolphins will be starting 2nd year OL Laremy Tunsil at LT, with veteran Anthony Steen next to him at LG. All Pro Mike Pouncey will start at C, with veteran RG Jermon Bushrod next to him. RT Ja’Wuan James is the other bookend. This line will have it’s hands full with the Chargers D-line, especially Bosa, who will be a serious challenge to start the season for Ja’Wuan James.
The Dolphins have to get the J-Train rolling, and keep it rolling. We all have visions of Jay Cutler throwing rainbows all over the field to Parker, Stills and Grant, because he can, but if the Dolphins are going to be successful in 2017, the J-train will once again be the key. Cutler will challenge defenses deep, and that’s great, but let’s keep that in check, and let the J-train tire out the defense, give us the edge in T.O.P, and keep the defense rested. We know Ajayi gets tons of yards after contact, but it would be great if that contact wasn’t 2 yards in the backfield, and maybe 5 yards upfield. I expect this offense will never be built for Jay Cutler to do too much, but rather just enough. Some games we’ll have to lean on him, but that won’t be the plan going in.
With Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, Jarvis Landry, Jakeem Grant, Leonte Carroo, Julius Thomas and Kenyan Drake, there is a plethora of targets for Cutler. He’s got to feel good about that. That being said, let’s hope Cutler doesn’t need to throw the ball 30 times or more. I’d like to see us run the ball 25-30 times, and Cutler have 25 or less pass attempts. Of course the game may dictate otherwise, but that would be ideal in my mind.
On defense, I expect to see a smattering of Rey Maualuga. I think he’ll be out there to start, but there will be plenty of substitutions, with Hull seeing plenty (read majority) of the playing time. Timmons and Alonso will be in the nickel, and probably Alonso in the dime. Can’t wait to see #20 (Reshad Jones) back patrolling the secondary, and I’m also curious to see who starts opposite Xavien Howard at CB. I think we’ll see both Maxwell and Verner, but I think we’d be better served with Maxwell on the perimeter and Verner inside. As for the “battle” on the D-line, it looks like the Dolphins took the safe route, and will have Jordan Phillips line up next to Suh, but Godchaux will see time as well, especially if Phillips isn’t perceived to be giving max effort. That’s something to keep an eye on.
So, Game 1 of 16 in a row starts Sunday at 4:05PM in Los Angeles for our Miami Dolphins. I know I’m amped up, I would imagine you are too.
GO DOLPHINS! Zero in!

I wonder what you would like to make your ‘side-blog’ about?
——————————————–
Im a curious guy by nature, sometimes when im researching things, or learning something/teaching myself something new i find something that make a light bulb go off for me and i feel wiser from it. Kinda that sort of thing, and maybe even some philosophies i got from someone else and then added my own thoughts to it and i can pass it along and let others add to the fabric.
Stanger – Try this site. https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/irma/index.html. Just zoom in to the locale.
Thanks — they probably already know about it but have forwarded on.
Looks like i forgot the point i made about the Chargers LB, umm i dont think that unit is strong, even though Ingram may be one of the best LEO’s in the game and Bosa (who proved me wrong) is a really solid 4-3 DE.
They dont have a strong SAM or MIKE right now, so i could see them having to make adjustments to have Ingram go against his strength to help out against Ajayi. Their safeties also are not strong against the run so they dont even have guys who can come up and help them at the second level, and i dont see a safety taking down Ajayi with a head of steam anyways.,
This is one of those games where our run game starting ot strong will really open things up for us. Could take their pass rush, which is pretty stout and nullify it, or if they dont make adjustments, Ajayi will just get another 200 yard game.
this is definitely a run sets up pass game, and if Verett is out, its possible a deep passing game game.
i am expecting a HUGE game form Parker, a good game from Ajayi, and some Special Plays from both Grant and Drake..
and needless to say a Fins Win…
keep up the posts D .. I enjoy reading them, although on occasion I admit I zone out , but its usually good stuff.. and if it is not of interest I can scroll past it…

What did you think of the Serpentwar Saga? I’m on book 3, and it’s kinda getting on my nerves
Reply
I liked the serpent war saga. Except for Roo fucking around on his wife with that bitch which made me like him a lot less.
It did drag on some when they were in novindus, but some of the story lines introduced during the Serpent war are critical to the plot development in the later novels. I liked Nakor. I also liked how Erik rises through the ranks and becomes the Duke of Krondor (like Jimmy the Hand) from being a bastard son / no-body.
Damn. You guys are going to make me start another Feist series.

I liked Nakor a lot from the other series too. Yeah, the whole Sylvia Esterbrook thing was a downer, but she sounded pretty hot. I liked the other series in general better than this one, but I do like Erik, and a few other characters.

I love the things Madden said. He was a lot of fun to listen to. Man knew the game as well as anyone too. I played Madden ’08 on my PS3 for the longest time, until it just died (PS3), not Madden ’08. Sad day. 😦
BTW – That was a good impersonation of Madden.
I know some found him asinine with those comments but i love them, i mean he is trying to give x’s and o’s but he knows he is about to talk over people heads since his level of that knowledge is WAY deeper than most, and the end result is a dude trying to explain things by not knowing how without using terminology and explanations he cant create context for lol. Priceless stuff.
I never found him asinine. His turds knew more about football than most people. lol
HOWIE — HOWIE–
At 8:17 this morning I posted 27-24 Mia. –Thank you.
Mike E; I’ve re-read my comments at 8:17 AM and the words “I hate Ross” are no where to be found. However, it IS TRUE I disagree with many of the things he has done. Has “disagreeing” now become the same as “hating?” I hope not.
If you want to talk to someone who truly hates Ross, talk to my wife. She was involved in a small riot in Ross’s parking lot caused by a TOTAL LACK OF SECURITY PERSONNEL in the southeast lot late in the Chief’s game in September of 2013. She literally ducked down in the front seat of our car and told me she “feared for her life.” Cars and trucks were running into each other. A biker’s girlfriend got knocked off their motorcycle. Fists were flying. A shot gun was drawn. My attempt to locate ONE SECURITY OFFICER WITHIN A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS failed, because THERE WERE NO SECURITY PEOPLE THERE in that area. “Why doesn’t Ross have security here?” she asked. I responded, “We’ll ask them that very question tomorrow (Monday Morning) after we return to the Tampa area.
As a result, it took me THREE YEARS to persuade her to attend another game. Ross’s security staff refused to respond to any of our very polite emails of this incident. Two different ticket reps told us they had forwarded our comments on this affair. When I asked “Who sets this policy concerning the lack of security?” they responded “ownership.” Neither of these two ticket reps are currently working for the organization. As of now, my wife is unsure which, if ANY, games she will be attending this season. But it IS FAIR to say she hates Ross, for sure. “We never had these security issues when Robbie and Huizenga owned the Dolphins,” she correctly stated.
Mike, it is a fact that my former “posse” of about a dozen people is now down to JUST ME. It’s also fair to say that all 11 of them hold Ross in much lower esteem than I do. Those of you who do NOT have to deal with season ticketing snafus (tix arriving way too late, tix sent to the wrong person, etc.) parking pass snafus (each of the last two seasons), VALID tix being declared INVALID at the entrance because of “scanner issues,” riots in the parking lot, club membership cards never sent and club membership cards (which entitle the season ticket holders to a 10% discount on food, jerseys, etc) NOT WORKING FOR HALF THE SEASON because of “computer issues”, etc., should count your blessings!! I’ve had more “NON-FOOTBALL” snafus during the Ross years than I had in the 40+ combined years Robbie or Huizenga owned the franchise, BY FAR!! But I still don’t “HATE ROSS.” I just question his methods AND the people he’s chosen to run his franchise both on the field and in the stadium. There IS a difference.
TWO things. I was WRONG when I said Ross’s W-L record as principal owner in Miami is 59-70. It’s actually 59-71, counting the Fins playoff loss to Pittsburgh last season. Lastly, I salute Mr. Ross for his $1 million donation to the hurricane relief fund, just like I salute JJ Watt for raising over $20 million for hurricane damage relief and Heat owner Micky Arison for donating about $60 million for the same purpose. iT’S GREAT TO SEE THESE PRO SPORTS PLAYERS AND OWNERS DOING THE RIGHT THING!!
FIRST BEER at the fest is IN YOU, not ON ME. But, since I’m buying, I guess it IS ON ME!
Ross hates you. He is running a campaign to convince you stop coming to Hard Rock.
I’ll be going to Dolphins’ games long after Ross sells the team. Wanna bet me?
Ken – I agree. The only real decision is do you keep or trade RT. As you said, good problem to have.

Good to see everyone made it through the storm! Everyone doing ok, just a bit storm weary. Wind took our roof and lost power for several days, but insurance should get me a roof someday, I have to get in a long line!
Regarding the shutdown of my FME site. I appreciate all the support and great times there, and wish it was still going. It’s no ones fault, I just don’t have time for it anymore. My life is much busier now with additional projects taken on, and I should have had an exit page or something explaining it.

Speaking only for myself. Regarding article submissions, We appreciate anyone who would like to submit something and I also think that the admins should have the discretion collectively to decide whether it’s something we don’t mind having.
When we started this I liked an idea about having a penalty box, Piggs may have liked it too. Essentially, if you were being a dick, or really fouled you got sent to the penalty box and you could only post in there, lol. Too hard to manage, but just in fun too. But having a separate space is the point if it’s non football and maybe controversial.
Anyway, another tab is a neat idea, but I’m not for a political page I’ll just look at Facebook.

Good to see you David!
D, we are open to any ideas you have, so whatever suggestion you had in mind is appreciated. That said, I think the blog flows better as one place where posts come often – so creating like a side bar might take away
We discussed politics before on here and managed to do it without killing each other. Since the election., its died down and I personally use a different outlet for that. I tend to think most people want escapism here. I don’t think we have a hard rule against politics but I’m inclined to discourage it and avoid engaging if I can
I agree with Piggy about no second tab. It would be confusing and make my brain hurt. I am not opposed to non football related articles especially as n the off season. The bottom line for me is the more articles we can get from our contributors the better

Is this a football article? Not sure Wednesday is the best day though. I usually write my article Wednesday, and either run it Wed or Thurs. If it’s not a football article, we’re going to wait until the off season to start with those.
PSA-
Despite losing our bye week this years bye week Bi babe will make her appearance in that same week even though there will be a game. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Thank you
Mike E; Thanks for posting the Herald article on the decision NOT to play the first game a few days BEFORE it was scheduled. Historically, the NFL has given major priority to the recommendation of the owner of the home team concerning decisions like this. Yet, I have neither seen nor heard exactly WHAT Steve Ross recommended to the NFL regarding this decision. I find it hard to believe that, if Ross said “Play the game on Wednesday Night (or Thursday Night)” and yet the NFL made a totally different decision. My ONE SOURCE left at Hard Head Stadium told me “Ross has the power to get his way on this one, but not the game in London, which the league has made a major commitment to. He continued, “If Ross really wants to go “BYE-LESS,” he’ll say the NFL (not HIM) made the decision. Then he’ll unsuccessfully try to get the London game moved to Miami, to make it LOOK like he’s trying to make-up for the unpopular decision to delay the game to the bye week.” IN FACT, that is exactly what happened.
———-
NOW WHY WOULD ROSS want to delay the game to the bye week? Well, as I stated several days ago, there was speculation a few thousand people who bought tickets to the Tampa Bay game might NOT have shown up Wed. or Thurs night due to Irma being only 4-5 days away. That would cost Ross lost revenue for food sales, hats/jerseys, etc. IF the game is played in November, more people might show up for this sold-out game, thus increasing his revenue. AS OF NOW, NO ONE can prove that theory is correct, except Ross and the League. But I suspect if Ross was TRULY DISPLEASED BY THE DECISION TO MOVE THIS GAME TO NOVEMBER, he’d have made his feelings known for, among other reasons, to APPEASE HIS OWN PLAYERS, COACHES and FANS. Making Goodell the “bad guy” has worked before in this league.
———
ANOTHER FACTOR: IF Miami gets off to a slow start and/or has even more major injuries, the number of people actually showing up in November might actually be LESS than if the game had been played on Wed. night or Thurs. night. I’ve GOT TO BELIEVE most owners would have opted, under these circumstances, to play the game Wed. or Thurs. night, instead of putting it off. NO DOUBT ROSS WILL GET RIPPED TO SHREDS (fairly or unfairly) if this decision turns out to be the wrong one.
Completely get your points OD, but like you said no one knows what Ross wanted….and was the league’s call. Pretty sure the game would have either been played early or somewhere else on Sunday if both teams did not have the same bye week.
That “somewhere else” might have been TAMPA because the storm initially was forecasted to go up the EAST coast of Florida, not the WEST coast.

Hi all,
Just checking in……we plan on attending the festivities for the weekend, Saturday and Sunday.
However, I was late signing up and thought the tickets were already purchased. I went online and purchased our 2. You guys will be looking down on us in the end zone, but we’re not that far away. Upper deck, first row, same end zone. Hope we get the shade of the new cover and can’t wait to see it live.
I’m very excited about the start of the season for the Dolphins. Irma’s a bitch and hope everyone fared well. The postponement seemed right to me. Taking care your own always takes first place, in my opinion.
Hoping for a tough, but successful season.

New on eve of Dolphins season opener: Former GMs, executives assess Dolphins’ roster and chances this season:
http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article173763681.html
Fair evaluations. The difference in Cutler and Tannehill is Cutler is more gunslinger and takes more shots down the field. But his history says he’ll turn it over more. We need a Trent Dilfer version of Cutler but Jay is more talented than Trent ever was.
To me the season lies with Ajayi and the running game, and the overall defense. They have to get into the teens in the rankings, not 25-30. A lot of young players have to step up. The potential is there.
Disagree completely with Casserly saying Maxwell is a backup corner. He played well for us, and in general, has had a successful career as a starting CB
Thanks Son, Figured that out when I saw we where in LA a few days ago.
Problem was, is anyone in the Orlando area on right now to ask. So I did my search on-line and found it hours later.
Well you know where I will be? sitting in the Garage drinking my beer and smoking my cigarettes with an occasional trip in here to say
HELL YEAH!
I’m looking forward to getting a good look at Lamar Jackson this evening. That, and y’all know Brian and I are rooting against Clemson to help our PSU Lions move up in the rankings! I’ll be flipping back and forth through the two games.
Clemson is definitely playing the type of up-tempo Offense that we Phins are talking about playing this season. They’re very fun to watch.
Lamar Jackson is out of sync with his receivers, and Saquon is a beast like Sasquatch.
Awesome MikeE. We are pretty excited.
Gators were so lucky, but a win no less. Threw the ball 65 yards I think for that TD.
So many mistakes
It’s good to see ya, my friend. And I’m very happy to hear that you were spared from the very worst of H. Harvey.
Thanks.
Omg. I did all the laundry today. I totally forgot that I should wait til tomorrow for the game.
New season new routine.
But if we lose its your fault 😀🐬
We ain’t losin’
Pretty much new everything for me. Lol
I want to see Lamar Jackson scan the field and make some reads. He’s got all the athleticism/arm/quick release/accuracy/scrambling ability in the world, but doesn’t make an NFL QB. He’s reminding me of Terrelle Pryor at this rate… and Pryor is now an NFL WR. JMO
Many an NFL evaluator will go back to tonight’s tape of Lamar Jackson vs #3 Clemson. So far, no good.
Season opener so close we can taste it. I am ready for some Dolphins football!

You should then see a button with symbols on it which will bring up the symbols keyboard. On mine it’s located on the numeric keyboard, left side where you would normally see a shift key.
Krishna – I have a Samsung Galaxy 6, but I know there are a few options with keyboards. Still, the symbols key should reside bottom, furthest to the left. My key has a !#:) all on the same key, but that might vary. Once you hit that key, you’ll have all your symbols you’re looking for.
I just posted a Game Day blog…should be coming up in a minute.
Thanks Herd!
