HERE WE GO! Week 2 was officially the first week for the Dolphins and Prawny and I really enjoyed opening game.
In Prawny’s case, maybe a little too much…
Prawny are you okay? I’m sure everyone will understand if you want to call in sick.
You may have had too a little too much too drink…
No you want to go on? What a trooper!
This first half was not so exciting. Actually it was a little but frustrating.
The Dolphins didn’t stretch the field as some of us thought they would with Jay Cutler at the helm. Actually there was a ton of dink and dunk.
I think the most notable positive thing to say about the first half was the Dolphins run defense which did a good job shutting down the run.
Actually the Dolphins held the Chargers to 44 total rushing yards for the game. One of our better performances in recent years.
Prawny what did you think of the 1st half?
Oh my God Prawny!
It wasn’t that bad! It was just a slow conservative stuff.
Man….what did you eat before the game?
gross…
It picked up in the 2nd half.
Above is Kenny Stills celebrating a 29 yard touchdown early in the 3rd quarter.
Our wide receivers lived up to the expectations and they all contributed in their own way.
Landry caught 13 passes for 78 yards.
But no one was an impressive as Devante Parker who made a spectacular catch
He finished with 4 catches for 85 yards. But neither Parker nor Landry could get in the endzone. Likewise, Jay Ajayi didn’t score a touchdown.
But Ajayi was till impressive. He ran for 122 yards on 28 carries.
The Dolphins actually had 336 yards of total offense. Not horrible but not really as explosive as most of us want.
Thankfully a certain waiver wire acquisition was clutch.
Cody Parkey was the hero of the game.
He hit 4 field goals on Sunday including the game winning 54 yard field goal.
Honestly the last few minutes of the game had Dolphins fans more frustrated than the first half.
But the Dolphins won and are now 1-0
Meanwhile the Dolphins next opponent, the jests, got blown out. Bring on the Jests!

With all due respect, you guys are the worst human beings on the internet if you’re even human beings at all. Before you get offended with what I said, remember that I said “with all due respect.”
I’m not human
me neither … i’m a town.
well ok, I guess I’ll see you all when the pissing match is over. (or i start to get withdrawal)
OK, show’s over – Back to the stupid, asinine football opinions you all have. Carry on! 😉
How about that Jay Train !!!!
I don’t want a thing from him except to not bring up stuff on here we would prefer to be left in the past. He may be acting all nice now but he sure wasn’t the other evening. But I’m to forget that because he complimented me. Oooh. I don’t think that’s how it works.
So my apologies to the blog. I know this was a drag. I’m not happy about it either. But I’m not the type to sit here and let someone trash me one day and then expect me to forget all about it the next just because they say something complimentary.
Toba – He was a KICKASS machine yesterday that J-Train!
LOL SB – You leave me wanting every day, only allowing us one, maybe 2 witty remarks a day. So mean!
Mike E: I was expecting Drake and Grant to have a large “surprise” Impact on the game, but alas I was wrong as Usghe…
At least we came out with the win… and what a Clutch kick by “its Not Butter”…
:
Not gloating in the least, but for once, I was pretty dead on with how I said the game was going to. Cutler threw maybe 8-10 passes more than I said he would, i think I said about 25, not sure, but I said we weren’t throwing bombs all over the place, and also said we were going to lean heavy on Ajayi.
We Bow to your Omnipotence sir… 🙂
My Chargers friend is so bummed out. They can’t seem to win those close games.
Last year they found Many different ways to lose them late.. too bad I actually would consider them my next favorite team.. sux its always an us or them situation at the end of the year…
LOL Toba – I said “for once”. I’ve been wrong so many damn times it’s absurd, but I suppose if you keep guessing, you’re about to get one every now and again.
even a blind Squirrel will come across a Nut once a while..
Got tense in here while I was gone
Too tense, like a wigwam and a teepee
Holy Shit, that looks like our new Dog..
Pig, I like analytics, but the ESPN’s FPI is complete trash. I wish there was a way to bet against it. A 10-20% outlier is a healthy ratio for computer rankings. FPI is closer to 50% and they still try to defend it.
FPI projected the Utes to win 3.5 games this college season. They’re 3-0 so far….
its almost silly to even do this is professional football – where teams are closer than people think
its basically click bait
I think analytics are great measurements when you are trying to evaluate what some one brings to the team, but to rank teams and throw out common sense is silly.
You can’t rank the chiefs below the patriots or the charges below above the Dolphins
Mike E how did Chase Allen look? Diamond in the rough or just a guy doing his job? No, I didn’t watch the game.
I wish I recorded the game (I didn’t). When I watch the game, I’m all crazy and emotional, and I find it hard very difficult to actually see and diagnose what’s going on. I can tell you from what I remember, he wasn’t on the field all that much, we were in the nickel or dime pretty often, and he wasn’t in either. He didn’t make an impact, but again, I feel like I hardly saw him out there.
he only played 13 snaps and PFF gave him an 81.3
he was 3rd highest graded dolphin defender by PFF
now, with all due respect, go screw yourself
PFFffffffffffffffffft. Screw PFF!
Thanks Mike
PROSPECTS FOR PLAYING THIS SUNDAY IN THE MEADOWLANDS have gotten much better today. Looks like what’s left of Jose will be way out to seas by Sunday. And Maria, now a cat 4 & a direct threat to Puerto Rico, will not be in the New York area Sunday, altho’ she MAY arrive (WITH A DEADLY FORCE) after Sunday. We’ll see. Right now, Florida is expected to miss both of these storms. And we’re all hoping the Northeast escapes a direct hit by Maria.
———–
FORCED to take a sick day today due to outrageous cough and other “problems.” Guess that’s my punishment for being in really good shape late last week when I had my 6-month check-up with my family practice doctor.
WONDER if any of these four meds will make me want to kill a Jets’ fan?? –Probably NOT!!
well Old Timer, I hope for both Selfish reasons, and for the state of Florida this is true… Feel better..
Piggy – What did Chase Allen do so well? I see he made 3 tackles, and I don’t know how many of those were on ST’s
He Showed UP.. More than we can say for Timmons.. 🙂
LOL – Can’t argue with that
I didn’t notice him
but I guess that can be a good thing
He started in base but we were in nickel most of the game.
That’s what I saw yesterday too, but like I said, hard to actually concentrate on details when I’m all emotionally involved.
I’m so glad Gase is committed to the running game. It allows you to win close games like yesterday.
I was talking to my Chargers friend, and that was really the difference in the game, besides their shitty placekicker. They gave up on the run, we didn’t.
They had a hard time running against us. Outside of one 26 yard run, they were 13-18 which is really non existent. LOL
I think they have too many Melvin’s on that team. lol
OD – Hope you feel better my friend!

At DT, Godchaux played 32 snaps (out of 58) and Phillips 21. Godchaux had 1 tackle, 1 assist. Phillips had 3 assists.
The only thing I can think of to make a grown man and a consummate professional flip his lid is if perhaps the baby momma threatened to either hurt the child or haul ass with him or her. I dunno, who knows just hope it all works out so that he’s fine and on the field.
Yeah, or if he just flipped out on his own, that he’s OK, whether he plays for us again or not.
How hard is it to pickup the phone and call,text or email your boss and say I have a problem?
That’s the perplexing part
That is why I don’t give him too much slack on it. I need to hear the whole story but in today’s world of instant communication the awol part is hard to fathom
In looking back at yesterday I think the thing to be most pleased about is the play of the OL. SD has an excellent defensive front. We held them to 2 sack and Ajayai ran wild
1 sack not 2
Mostly, it was the playcalling. Everything was coming out quickly, negating their pass rush. Also, Cutler moved around pretty well yesterday
James had a good day. Beastly in the run game.
A woman is every man’s kryptonite, they can get us to do things we couldn’t even dream about. and unleash a fury we didn’t know we had in us, so when you see someone do something completely out of character follow the money or the woman behind him. I’m not saying this as a bad thing, it’s just the way it is. Your buddy will say to you do this for me and you’ll say do it yourself. Your woman says the same thing, but gives you that look and you jump off the couch and do it.
I get the impression you smashed something after you typed that, lol
I’m not complaining but I guess I thought they were really conservative in the first half. I expected Cutler to be throwing some more long passes. I guess maybe take what they give you. Gase even said his play calling in the first could have been better. That’s paraphrasing but I took it as he agreed with me! Lol
Damn it took me 3 tries to get my phone to let me say Gase instead of Gaze. Uppity piece of technology. 🤣
Totally agree they were too conservative in the first half

I did some more reading on weatherunderground.com relating to Hurricane Maria. They are pretty certain this cat 4 storm will be in the Turks and Caicos Islands area ON FRIDAY, which makes it impossible for Maria to get to the Meadowlands by Sunday. While I think there’s a chance this game might be played Saturday, Sunday seems the most likely day FOR NOW for the Fins @ Jets game. But having said that, those of you along the eastern coast of the U.S. from North Carolina to Martha’s Vineyard need to watch this storm VERY CAREFULLY. BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IN THE EVENT THIS VERY DANGEROUS STORM SHIFTS DIRECTION! IF you decide to leave the area, do so as soon as possible b/c all the major (and not so major) highways will be totally clogged with cars/trucks and other traffic. IT WILL BE your worst nightmare come true IF YOU DELAY!!!
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that Timmons is “doing much better today and wants to resume playing immediately,” but that he will be meeting with doctors before any decision is made on that front. There’s no word on what the medical issue might be, but Schefter reports, via a source, that they do not believe it is “the early onset of CTE.”
This is what I was talking about earlier. IMO with the baby mama talk and him going to an irrational level of bailing out on his job responsibilities to go see his child, when he was about to be able to travel back and see them says to me he was completely emotionally unstable, and it was so concerning to him/the team he got checked out for CTE. I bet the thing they are trying to figure out isn’t what happened, but rather is this going to be something that could happen again. Not good to have a mentally unstable guy around the rest of the team and count on that guy every week
I feel bad for the guy, personally.
This rookie TE Engram on the Giants is going to be a beast
I mocked him to us a good bit before we got Thomas. We brought him on a 30 visit
Another guy I liked, Everett is doing pretty well for the Rams too. He went to South Alabama here in Mobile
Hull played every defensive snap. That could have been McMillan.
I thought he and Allen both looked pretty decent this past game.
Giants OL is a disaster. Erik Flowers sucks ass
Verner got zero snaps, maybe he’s still learning the D or they just like the rotation they have.
Maybe it wasn’t the right track for an All-Terrain
Curious to see if check down Cutler gets to open it up against the minor league stej….. 🙂
The D was excellent against the run, It seems the D has more of a bend don’t break vanilla philosophy, even though Rivers passed for 3r0 yards we only gave up 17 points, however on the last drive when they started getting close we went to man coverage. The running game was outstanding, not sure how chargers D stacks up in terms of run stats but the fact that ajayi rushed for 122 yards to a D that hasn’t given up a 100 yard rusher in 17 games is very promising. I still think the offense is a little green and needs more time to gel together, the good news is they can only get better.

What was the deal with calling that last timeout? Shouldn’t we have waited until they spiked the ball? It worked out but was clearly a mistake by the coaching staff.
Forget all that peace and harmony nonsense…as a Marine and a security professional it is bad for business and doesn’t exist . The world is full of douchebags.
I start all my fires with olive branches
LMAO – An excellent choice.very aromatic.
Which team has the best winning % though? lol
OCRob, Gase said it was intentional. He said Rivers was waving his guys back to milk it down to 2 seconds and Gase said he wanted to keep something, even if it was just a couple of seconds. At first I didn’t agree with it, but he was right, I mean it’s not like Phillips was going to let the time run out, he had a down to play with, and in the case he made it, something was better than nothing as far as having time left to try to get one last shot.
That definitely makes sense. The way the announcers made it seem during the game was that the Chargers were in disarray, that Rivers wanted to spike the ball, but couldn’t get the line set, and that we bailed them out by calling a time out. Obviously, that wasn’t the case.
the time may have ran out as the kicking unit ran onto the field while Philip Rivers was getting the team lined up to spike the ball. Los Angeles had no timeouts and a 10-second run-off would have ended the game had the refs flagged it for too many men on the field.
I would’ve taken my chances letting the click run, but…
It’s going to be interesting to see how the Timmons situation plays out. I think Gase will give Timmons more slack in this situation, because we need him, because he’s a good player, and our depth isn’t good at the moment. I think we’re also on the hook for $11M of the $12M contract he signed if we cut him
Isn’t there some kind of ‘the player walks out on the team clause? There should be. I feel for the guy if he has issues but you can’t expect to do that stuff and get paid can you?
There could be clauses written into the contract for that, but I can almost guarantee you it wasn’t in this one. Guy started 101 games in a row for the Steelers, so there would have been no reason to suspect any problems.
ORob – I just checked to see if SD had any TO’s left, they had none. It’s possible Rivers was trying to dupe MIA into thinking they weren’t going to be able to get set in time, so that’s why Gase called a TO. I wish I had it recorded, so I can see.
you normally would call time out prior to the kick to ice the kicker, calling timeout then prevented us from icing the kicker as you cant call timeouts back to back, i doubt there would have been any time left to actually do something offensively.
Bottom line it worked.
According to what D was saying, Gase wanted to preserve enough time to run a play if the kick was good.
I get that however that is a Hail Mary at best from the 25 yard line. Or a jail break either way not goo odds
They had 10 seconds to get set and spike the ball plenty of time
So I only catch the 4th Q of the game in a sports bar (in Boston of all places)……..never under-estimate foots my friends.
You remind me of John Turturro the actor. Almost every comedy he’s in, there is a foot reference. He must have a foot fetish. I’m beginning to wonder about you. lol

Isn’t it Stangers venue??
You mean the same stanger who has been pushing people to come for week after week?
Yes, as a matter of fact it is.
What they should have done is play man on d that whole drive instead of playing vanilla, the eventually went to man however it was when the chargers were already in fog position
I agree. By playing prevent what are you trying to accomplish, a long TD, but if they get the quick TD you have time left, just play it straight up man.
Just joking Mike, i thought i might make it down for Saturday night, i have about 30 friends that play golf every Sunday in a money game so if i do make it i will come to the restaurant and probably skip the game to play golf, we play early so I will catch the game from the club house after the round

WAY up the page, did I read something from HERD that roughly said “A guy can’t walk out or do nothing and expect to get paid, can he?”

Can we apply that standard to all of our elected and appointed governmental officials? Seems like a bunch of them get paid and receive “Campaign Donations” every day, whether or NOT they do something productive for the people they “represent.” My answer to the health care issue is to give all of our citizens the same health care plan our congressmen and senators have. If that’s deemed “too expensive,” then let’s slash the program until it becomes affordable for all. I believe THAT will happen the same day these politicians submit to random drug tests and random lie detector tests!!

Still no word on Timmons. They are really keeping this under wraps. I think that’s actually a good thing, but I want to know whether we can count on him or not.
I don’t think we’re going to hear the whole story… and that’s fine by me. Gase is protecting Timmons’ privacy on the matter, and I both understand and respect Gase.
Agreed. It all comes down to how Gase feels about why he did what he did.
^
I saw a report that said he’s feeling better and wants to get back to practice. Still no report on exactly what made him go AWOL.
I don’t need to know ANY of the story. If he’s back on the team, and Gase trusts in him, that’s all I need to know
EXACTLY!
I just saw our GM talking to Drew Rosenhaus in the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel Fort Lauderdale ( I think it’s the team hotel) just north of the training facility in plantation. Rosenhaus was telling him how disappointed he was in another organization and how they are a terrible organization. I didn’t hear which team he was talking about.
I bet you Timmons was part of the subject of what they were discussing
I can’t see how that would have been about Timmons. The only other organization he has ever been part of is Pitt and they are by all accounts a model organization
No I don’t think that part of the conversation was about Timmons. I just think they were probably discussing him earlier or a little later
I saw them standing there talking and recognize them but I didn’t immediately realize where I knew them from so I almost walked up to them to say hey before I realize that they are who they are and I only recognize them from TV

I agree with the sentiment that we don’t need to know the whole story on Timmons. If everything that happened was of a personal nature, and not criminal, then it’s up to coach Gase how this moves forward. If coach and team are good with him, then welcome back, and kick some ass on the field Timmons.

I’m still enjoying our win. We have a lot of room for improvement, but it’s great to win while not playing our best. The Chargers have lost something like 11 games by a score or less over the course of last season and this season. The Dolphins have won like 8 by a score or less over the same span. It’s nice to be the team that manages to find ways to win instead of the team that manages to find ways to lose.

Yes Herd they did I was sitting on one of the couches in the lobby waiting for my appointment with the general manager because we may remodeled the hotel and I saw them thought I recognize them and was eyeballing them from about 10 feet away. Drew Rosenhaus noticed me slapped our GM who I cannot remember his name for the life of me on the arm at the back of his hand and pointed me out with his chin. They stoppped talking in meandered across to the other side of the lobby. LOL
LOL Rock — my guess is secret agent was never going to be the best job for you…..now if they need a new Rambo…… 🙂
Props to Gase and Tannebaum. Accountability is a major difference between this regime and the Phibin years. I want to see Timmons play for us. He is an upgrade but he let his teammates down and must be held accountable
They put him in time out for now. Obviously they could uphold a two-game suspension without worrying about a league appeal. Might get tricky with a longer one though.
Tannebaum THAT’S his name! Damn I could not think of it !
Like I was saying earlier, as fans, we deserve to know the whole story on Timmons, even if it’s personal and not criminal in nature.

Thing is Tim, you and I both know he won’t be playing much. They’ll be subbing him out constantly
I know but we only had 4 LBs for the game in LA. Sheppard would be the same thing. Hewitt is injured or he’d be on the team and Jenkins has now been cut by both the Raiders and Bills. I’d hope we’d go in another direction.

Nice to finally have a coach who gets it. 🙂
“Gase said of the 1000-plus players who were released on Labor Day weekend, Parkey was the one Miami particularly targeted. Cleveland cut him Sept. 2 and Miami signed him a day later.”
Trevor Reilly might be the guy who is called up from the PS.
Also March-Lillard may start getting more snaps at LB once he’s up to speed with the defense. He’s only been here a couple of weeks.

Rock — they at least knew you were paying attention. Next time something interesting hits your ears, just keep listening. You can figure out who they are later.
1. I don’t make a habit of eavesdropping.
2. How do you know if something is interesting out of context? If I hadn’t recognized who they were their conversation would have meant nothing to me.
Not blaming you at all Rock….just giving tips from my inside the Beltway years. The things I learned by keeping my ears open. Even if didn’t apply this time might down the road.
We lost McMillan for the season, Hewitt has a shoulder injury that likely will make him miss most if not all of the season so he was cut – would have been a UFA or RFA in 2018, and now Timmons goes AWOL all before we even played a RS game. It’s not easy to be loaded at LB 6, 7 or 8 deep.
I can’t believe the whole Timmons situation
its completely fucked
Yeah is sucks.
Collating several articles here, so forgive the lack of a source citation, but consensus is Juwuan James ate up Joey Bosa. By one measure he ranked 12th among all tackles.
from Barry Jackson:
The Chargers blitzed Jay Cutler only three times in 35 drop backs and Cutler made them pay.
Per PFF, Cutler had the fifth-highest grade of all quarterbacks in Week 2. When facing no pressure, Cutler completed 20 of 24 passes for 199 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions, for an NFL passer rating of 115.1.
In 11 drop-backs under pressure, Cutler was 4-9 for 31 yards and had a rating of 53.5.
Also, Cutler’s 101.8 rating ranks 11th in the league.
also from Jackson:
Jarvis Landry’s 15 targets were second-most in the league this week and his 13 catches led the league. He gained 62 of his 78 yard after the catch, which led NFL receivers this weekend. Keep in mind that Landry’s 630 yards in YAC led the league last season.
Per PFF: Jay Ajayi, who had 900 yards after contact last season (second in the league), generate 82 of his 122 total yards after contact Sunday, the most for any back in Week 2.
His eight forced missed tackles also led all backs, a year after he had a league-leading 58.
snap counts tell a story … from several sources
At running back Damien Williams played only three offensive snaps and Kenyan Drake one behind Jay Ajayi (64 of 68). At receiver, Leonte Carroo played two of the 68 offensive snaps and Jakeem Grant one. At tight end, Julius Thomas played 65 of the 68 snaps, Anthony Fasano 16 and MarQueis Gray just three.
• Defensively, we noted above that Godchaux played more than Phillips. Ndamukong Suh was a force and played 53 of 58 snaps. Rookie sixth-rounder Vincent Taylor played three.
At defense end, snaps were divied out this way: Andre Branch 43 of the 58, Cam Wake 33, Harris 27 and William Hayes 25.
• Biggest surprise? Cornerback Alterraun Verner, who had been battling Byron Maxwell to start, didn’t play a single snap on defense.
Xavien Howard and Byron Maxwell each played 55 of 58 defensive snaps. Bobby McCain logged 44.
Starting safeties Reshad Jones and Nate Allen played all 58.
Drake was on the field for 64 offensive snaps? That doesn’t seem right.
There’s no way. He plays on ST’s, so he was on every punt and kickoff, but I still don’t think he could have played that many snaps
No just one. We seemed to role with a core of guys and not to much mix and match.
It says Drake was on for one snap, but it is not written well.
Ah, I see, one snap.
Ahh, LOL – I see now. Thanks guys
It was nice that Grant didn’t bobble any punts, although his catch inside the 10 where he fell down made me want to smack him, lol.

Hurricane side note:
My wife looked up later in the week and said, “There’s the president.”
Trump was circling our neighborhood in a low-flying helicopter, Marine One.
(Florida’s governor lives down the street and around the corner.)
And glad you are all in on football now……assume that means all is well. How’s your Mom doing?

#Panthers worked out TEs Jace Amaro, Kellen Davis, Gavin Escobar.
Ouch they lost Olsen.
The official path of Irma passed directly over our house, just as predicted by that one model that I quoted to you guys before we lost power.
The eye wall created a “howling white out,” during which you could not hear people speaking unless they shouted in your face.
The windows on that side were all opaque as if covered some kind of by bright white goo. It was rain.
From one came a geyser of water arcing into the bedroom, while another displayed a beautiful waterfall cascading over the window sill. The whole thing lasted 10-15 minutes, but it took 8 bath towels to soak up the waterfall alone.
There was no damage to the windows.
That’s some scary sheet right there
M13 just can’t stop posting Adam Caplan tweets. He’s unstoppable!
