While significant changes were made to the defense, the same could be said for the offense as well. Gone is the sometime misfiring spark plug #14 WR Jarvis Landry. Also gone via retirement is TE Anthony Fasano. Oh, also gone, thankfully, is #6 Jay Cutler, who was kind enough to play for Adam Gase one more time to the tune of $10M. In addition to Cutler evacuating the QB spot, long time Dolphins backup Matt Moore finally made his exit after 7 seasons. Former pro bowl center Mike Pouncey was released after 7 seasons and 3 pro bowls. So those are the departees, let’s now take a look at all the players who have joined the Miami Dolphins offense.
Maybe the largest acquisition, both in size and importance was signing LG Josh Sitton in FA. The 4 time pro bowler should really solidify the left side of the line, and his presence alone should make our young LT Laremy Tunsil a better player. Tunsil will learn from Sitton, as well as benefit from better play aside him. Sitton is an excellent pass blocker, and will open holes for the run game as well. After the release of C Mike Pouncey, the Dolphins wasted no time in trading for SF 49ers starting C Daniel Kilgore. Whether Kilgore is an upgrade over Pouncey remains to be seen, but we do know he will be practicing with his linemates from OTA’s all the way to the preseason, which is a good thing. Kilgore may actually be a better run blocker than Pouncey, so that should help our run game. We picked up the 5th YR option on RT Ja’Wuan James, so that just leaves the RG spot up for grabs between veteran Ted Larsen, up and comer Jesse Davis and last year’s 5th RD pick Isaac Asiata.
The Dolphins decided to fill the WR corps with a couple of veterans, one a long time veteran in WR Danny Amendola, the other a younger and ascending player in WR Albert Wilson. Amendola, a 9 year veteran who played his last 5 seasons with the Patriots is well known to Dolphins fans. One of those irritating smaller, quicker WR’s who we can never seem to cover well, Amendola is also a very clutch big game performer. Amendola really shined in the playoff spotlight, so we can only hope he can help us if we should reach that high. Albert Wilson is on the rise, albeit a low grade rise, but Wilson had his best season last year for the Chiefs. Another smaller, speedy WR who like Amendola, will play more in the slot, his YPR are at 12.5, which is 2.5YPR higher than Jarvis Landry. Wilson has 4.4 speed, so he will add some speed to the middle of the field, and give safeties and LBs fits.
At the RB position, we signed long time veteran RB Frank Gore, who spent his last 3 season with the Indianapolis Colts, after spending 10 years, no typo, with the 49ers. Gore has a lot of wear on his treads, but those reconstructed knees just keep going, and his wish was to finish his career in Miami, where it all started for him at the U of M. Gore joins last year’s standout RB Kenyan Drake, and in the draft in RD 4, we added even more firepower, drafting big back Kalen Ballage out of Arizona St. This big back moves very well, running a 4.46 and has very reliable hands and catches the ball extremely well. That basically gives us a stable of backs that can catch the ball out of the backfield, which is precisely what HC Adam Gase wants.
Saving the best for last, the Miami Dolphins finally addressed the TE position! I’ll say it again, it felt so good, the Dolphins finally addressed the TE position, doubling down in the draft. In RD 2, the Dolphins selected the most athletic TE in the draft, Penn State TE Mike Gesicki (JERSEY STRONG!). In RD 4, the Dolphins selected Notre Dame standout Durham Smythe. This gives the Dolphins just what they have missed for far too long. Gesicki, a super fast athletic receiving TE who can sky for the ball, a vertical leap over 41″ to be that seam busting TE and a nightmare to cover in the red zone. Durham Smythe is a fine receiving TE as well, but he’s also a dependable in line blocking TE, who will replace Anthony Fasano. I can’t wait to see this duo out on the field, terrorizing opposing defenses like our defense always has been.
OK, maybe I didn’t really save the best for last, but I’m very pleased that #17, Ryan Tannehill will be back this season. He’s worked very hard to get back in the game, rehabbing for nearly 2 years. As HC Adam Gase stated, Tannehill has remained right on top of things, learning every nuance of the offense, understanding better the offense, and he will get his hands back on the reins of this offense this season. I know he has detractors, but I’m a fan, and I really hope he can begin this season playing at the level he left off at in 2016. I think he was playing his best football, and the TD numbers were down due to the extremely slow start the team had in the first 5 games. Tannehill was balling, and if he could pick up where he left off, I like our chances for the playoffs with this newly constructed roster.
There’s an awful lot to be optimistic about this season, despite what the Vegas oddsmakers say. Robert Quinn, Cam Wake, Charles Harris and Andre Branch getting after the QB. Finally, a trio of competent LB’s with Raekwon McMillan manning the middle, surrounded by Kiko Alonso and Stephone Anthony, and mix in Jerome Baker on passing downs. A legit deep safety, Minkah Fitzpatrick, who can cover anywhere and everywhere on the field, which allows thumper and robber Reshad Jones to make plays closer to the LOS. A big safety who can come up and cover on passing downs, T.J. McDonald, and tackle like a LB, even if they don’t call him one. A defensive line rotation with 8 competent guys who will be rotating much more frequently to keep everyone fresher. Some good young corners, Cornell Armstrong and Jalen Davis to enter the mix, with our own CB/WR returning from injury, Tony Lippett, along with starters Xavien Howard and Cordrea Tankersley.
Just imagine if Devante Parker ever decides to be the WR we all hoped like hell he would be for the Dolphins. Add in Amendola, Wilson, Gesicki, Smythe and the trio of RB’s, and this offense could take off. I really believe there is something to look forward to this season, something way beyond 4 wins. It’s time for Tannehill to step up to that elusive next level, but I think we have the pieces in place to help him get there. A better O-line, a much less predictable offense that won’t be reliant on one player, and so many different personnel formations to run with confidence, 2 TE’s, 3 WR’s, a RB in the slot, 4 WR’s, whatever, we can do it all. Be optimistic, but cautiously optimistic. I don’t want anyone to go off the deep end. GO DOLPHINS!!!

D, I’m of course pulling for Jamiyus Pittman, the slaughtering of the name James notwithstanding, because he’s coming off of a very hungry team here at UCF and that DT competition will be fun. He’s a worker and he’s infected with what Shaquem has. And what a lot of the young guys on our team have.
You think Pittman has a chance?
There might be one spot available to a guy who’s prepared and works harder than the rest. This is that kind of guy.
Cool, I like players like that. Godchaux was one of those guys last year.
I’m just going to hang out in the barnyard!
This is really hard for me and hope you guys understand, and am feeling you will be open minded enough not to harsh on me and accept after. After a lot of struggle told my family and afterwards some close friends (which I consider you all too). All can hear Is Yanny, but deep down inside really know am a Laurel.
That’s tough to accept I would have figured you for laurel. This is a little disappointing.
LOL — I really want to be but guess am the starting shortstop for the Yanny team no matter how much want to play for Team Laurel…..where’s Bookman?
If I slide it all the way to the right, I hear Yanny pretty clearly and can’t even pretend I hear Laurel. The rest of the time I hear Laurel and no Yanny.
So it’s supposedly the same sound at different frequencies? Kinda interesting. I’ve been telling my wife recently that I feel I’ve started to lose hearing at certain frequencies. I’ve noticed when watching movies. I wonder if hearing loss has something to do with the way people are hearing it.
Don’t go off to the hearing aid store quite yet. The company that put it out for kids wanted it to be Laurel, but flip side of that is the high school kid that started the whole thing only heard Yanny.
Lol, I’m not quite there yet. It’s just something I’ve noticed recently. I thought maybe might be the definitive, reliable, alternative confirmation I’ve been looking for, but I would be happy for it not to be. 🙂
…maybe**this** might be the…
13kv,
Every site I look at which outlines the proposed changes says the receiving team has to line 8 players up in the 15 yd set up zone (which starts at the kicking team 45). That is also what it says on the chart I posted. It doesn’t say anything about having to line up 15 yds back. I think they just show the defenders there because generally, except for onside kicks, that is around where players will likely line up.
This shows the set up zone clearly:
?tfw_site=NFL&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nfl.com%2Fnews%2Fstory%2F0ap3000000933125%2Farticle%2Fnfl-to-consider-several-proposed-kickoff-rule-changes
And the bottom left of this graphic outlines the proposed change as: “At least 8 players must be in the 15 yard ‘set up zone’ prior to the kick off…”
?tfw_site=wordpressdotcom&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffinsmobunleashed.com%2F2018%2F05%2F16%2Fmiami-dolphins-offense-2018%2Fcomment-page-1%2F%23comments
There is nothing even remotely indicating teams will only get to use the last 10 yards of the 15 yard set up zone.
On the example where you can hear both, I hear Laurel on the left and middle and don’t start hearing yanni till it gets to 3/4s to the right, but I can certainly hear both , one at either end of the slider.
It was me Tim, Ballage and his stoner look. From one of the Charles Bronson movies, he looks like one of the bad hombres taking a hit and saying super fine😁
But when you see him speak he’s nothing at all like Jordan. Maybe just a few photo stares is what made you think that. He seems like a good kid ready to compete.
When I Google image him, there’s some other pictures that look the same way, but you’re correct, the video doesn’t show him like that. Not sure what to think, cautiously optimistic.
So what was the word that was actually said in whatever it was this was taken from? Or is that the thing? Nobody knows?
It was laurel, recorded as laurel
13kv,
What you are talking about (receiving team having to run up 5 yards on onside kicks) might happen quite a bit on surprise onside kicks. The receiving team will likely line up at the 50 on standard KOs because that is where they can start blocking.
So yeah, they may actually cause more nasty OSK collisions when the receiving team isn’t expecting it.
Thanks for your input KONG,
Guess we’ll know fersure soon enough!!!
GOFINS!!!
Cheers 🙂
The way things are going, we may not have KOs 5 years from now, SMH.
Geez, another school shooting with 10 dead. SMH
Let’s ban all the pieces used in bombs now. Its a combination of mental illness and bullying, that needs to be addressed.
Horrible!

——————————————————
Tim, Pittman was one of the highest rated UDFA’s that we signed, i think McCray and Davis were slightly higher rated overall, but Pittman was like the second best DT UDFA.
I guess what im saying in reply is that he probably has as much chance as any other UDFA we picked up and probably as much as any of the bubble players. He has a lot of work to do to get on the team, but we seem to find guys like that every year, and i think he could be one of this years guys.
Why don’t they just do a random drawing of a yard line to place the ball. Or have a fan in the crowd throw a dart at a board of yard line placements. Bullseye can be onside recovery.
Or break out the xbox and just play the game on that.
In short….they are never going to actually make anything safer. It all is just a show.
200+ lb men that for the most part run sub 5 40s running into each other over and over again. What’s so dangerous about that? lol
D,
Good to see you back on the board. I offer my condolences for your loss. I also offer an apology.
Awhile back, right before you took leave, I cracked wise about your posts looking like you had been drinking and throwing up tots or something to that effect (knowing nothing about what you may have been going through at the time). So if my timing was bad and it came across, or was received as mean, I do apologize. It was just me being me with the jokes, no harm intended. If you didn’t even see it, or if it didn’t matter in the slightest, then I’m glad. 🙂 It has weighed on my mind a bit since I read about your loss.
Im not usually offended at wisecracks about my posts, i get that plenty here lol, like war and peace comments, or my eyes bleed, or had to take a day off posting to read your last one, etc lol. Im not offended by those, and no one really did anything but life my spirits about my dad, so either it was just noise in the background when i was dealing with something much bigger, or i was saw it as intended and reacted maturely this time. Either way, we are good, definitely no offense taken, and no reason to carry that burden.
Glad to hear it, bro. 🙂

Thank You Herd 😁!!!
You read it ??
Patrick’s very good!!!
We have several UDFA’s i think could make the team. McCray definitely has a shot he was a solid middle round prospect, though im not sure exactly why he feel that might change my mind o his chances. Id say Davis has a good shot of making the team, he has better size and IMO talent for the position than some of our depth guys, but we will have to see how much heart he plays with. If he is equal in effort to McTyer, and Lucas who both were on the roster last year, he has better talent then they do.
I think Laurel was the chick who was wearing the blue and black dress.
LOL, my wife heard me playing with the laurel/yanni slider and made a comment about bored internet people coming up with these things, and that it was probably the blue/black dress people.
That was Yanny
Steve,
At this point, I haven’t heard a single viable solution that makes sense (to me).
Other than entirely locking our schools down like federal buildings, metal detectors and armed guards at the gates, which would cost a mint and take forever to implement, I think this is just the world we live in now.
Gotta find out what makes these kids/adults snap. I know it’s complicated, but that’s the root of the cause. Not the weapons, the why?
Exactly Kong
There is nothing they can tweak to make the game safer other than fundamentally changing it. These little adjustments wont do squat.
I actually think by removing some of the rules put in place to help the passing game over the last decade or so, they might make the game safer
maybe in time some advancements in terms of equipment and that sort of thing might help too
Steve, Ballage did an interview with John Congemi and although he was wearing a visor and you couldn’t really see his eyes he sounded quite lucid. Sounds bright and focused.
That’s what I was saying. He doesn’t come off as a dolt at all. LOL
His lack of stats in college are also a red flag. Doesnt mean he wont succeed, just means he cant be a slacker like he was in college. He needs to decide what kind of a pro hes going to be.
Sometimes the offense isnt the best to bring out statistics though, it might have not been the best scheme for him or maybe he wasnt a feature in the system, despite his talent level. A lot can go into what stats arent great or change from one year to the next.
Son, I was in Savannah recently, wearing my VGK hat and a vendor started talking to me like it was UCF hat. I was like WTF, at first, when he started mentioning Orlando.
We’re not the swiftest down here
Something to lighten everyone’s day 🙂
lmao!
That was great!
Tim,
I think the simple answer is internet, social media, and exposure. Not that these are making kids/people snap, but it is helping to create a bunch of self-absorbed assholes. Add instability issues and add to it the ability to give this part of our population a ‘shining’ moment or ‘fuck you world’ moment. It’s surprising more people don’t do this.
There are always going to be mentally ill, unstable, angry, disenchanted, or (insert issue here) people. In America these people are always going to have access to guns. Now they get infamy and get to feel like they did something and people will know who they are.
I think the real solution, which will never happen because we as a society suck ass, is when these events happen, we make sure the attacker is never made public or known, doesn’t get his name put out there, doesn’t get to have his say by way of manifesto or post or whatever, is kept literally and figuratively incognito.
This presents all sorts of logistical and practical issues, not to mention not everybody would get on board so this is another non-viable solution. It’ll never happen. I’ve said it many times, I honestly think this is the world we live in now, and there is no going back.
Get people to work together towards a solution? Shit, we can’t even get the majority of the population to put their stupid fucking phones down while they drive. Too many people too into themselves.
Unfortunately you’re right. You know what I think we will see at some point and this won’t be perfect either, but drones and even armed ones patrolling more areas of life. Maybe not necessarily to kill the perp, but tase them to incapacitate them until authorities on foot can get to them.
Drone response is an interesting idea. That tech is only going to continue to improve. It’s crazy that amazon is starting to test drone delivery on a limited scale already.
Yep, like Howard Hughes said, it’s the wave of the future. Except he said it like 17 times repeatedly. LOL
Huhh watching A Football Life Troy Aikman
He said that Wanny asked him if he wanted to come out of retirement to play for Miami
He said yes, and started training for come back but Dolphins didn’t follow up/sign him !!!
HMMM, something Miami that I wasn’t of!!!
Wonder if it was before or after Ricky F’D US !!!
Steve, Ballage was drafted in the 4th rd for a reason. But you could argue he has 1st round ability. So taking a flyer on his skill set in the 4th rd is an easy thing to do. If the kid is committed to his craft as a pro, we might have a real sleeper with him.
Mike E; I just had a chance to read your full article. Nice work. I can certainly understand WHY so many on this board believe we’re going to be a playoff contender. That said, I can never remember any May or June during the Ross Era when a clear majority on this site were convinced we would NOT contend for a playoff spot. Nature of the beast, perhaps.
——————
It certainly would be worth losing my 2 bets to see Miami in the AFC Championship game.
There’s been many projections of 8-8 at best over the years or maybe with a few breaks we make the playoffs including myself. It’s always been a minority claiming playoffs and I feel most of it is just wishful and why not thinking.
I think this season is about the overall roster looking better and deeper than in years past. It has nothing to do with Ross though. LOL
Thanks OD – I try to be optimistic, not that it has any impact on how well the team plays. I do like the moves we made, but the team has to go out there an perform. We’ll see, and I know you want them to win as badly as all of the rest of us do.
LOL @ y’all trying to figure out the whole Yanni/Laurel thing! 😆
It’s a frequency trick and it will sound different contingent upon the quality of the mid-range spectrum of your speaker(s).
When I play it on my PC setup, I can only hear “Laurel”. When I play it on my cellphone, I can only hear “Yanni”. If I play it in my studio (which I haven’t tried yet), I’ll hear BOTH at the same time.
Now you’ve spoiled all their fun.
LOL
😀
I’ve wondered if this was a TEST to see how many people are on the net using their cellphones vs home computers. The results are quite telling, actually.
That makes a ton of sense.
Lol, so I don’t have to get hearing aids? 😉
Your ears are just fine, CavKong! 😉

Tim, now I’m thinking that it was either Steve or MF13. I kind of saw “that look” in the one picture that was posted but I never agreed with it overall, because I watched his videos and he looks like a high effort kind of guy rather than a “high” effort kind of guy. if you get my meaning.
————-
It was Steve, as I remember telling him that I wouldn’t judge people based on ‘how they look’… as I had initially done with my now deceased best-friend Jimmy.
But forever it might be worth, Steve might be onto something that most others aren’t seeing.
I hope not, but if lack of effort or unpreparedness comes into play…
Tim – Lagares is most likely out the entire season with a ligament tear in his big toe. It’s just unbelievable how many different injuries have kept this kid from having a full season, I feel bad for the kid, i really do.
Yeah, those big toe ligament tears are hell on soccer players.
This team never progressed from the World Series.
M13, the Laurel/Yanny thing is why I said that when I pinned Yanny all the way, the sound got tinny and I heard an echo of Yanny, like a reverb. But the depth of the equalization is dominantly Laurel.
BINGO!
I think your experience in the studio over the years probably helped you to make those observations. 🙂
ssjjij dsl dfd leiri sh wew jwji kjs sdjs owur
I’m still trying to figure out how this happened.
M13, there are lots of things that happen on a track as you know, if the source has some noise, that’s the raw similar to photography, only so much you can do to clean it up. Much of it gets hidden with other tracks. But mistakes are okay too sometimes, it’s part of the process. Nothing is perfect.
Go to 4:00 on this video/song and hear what long-time prominent engineer Eddie Kramer explained that he couldn’t fix. That reverse echo could not be eliminated from the preferred track. So they got creative and figured out how to use it in a cool way. 🙂
Yeah, man! I like that! There’s NO LIMIT to creativity. I’ve done similar things in the past in ‘covering up’ a recording error.
So what was once considered an ‘error’ become part of the creativity! 🙂
Yep! Jimmy Page who produced all Zep albums liked the mistakes as long as it didn’t hurt the song, because he loved the raw live sound.
What his rumored devil worshipping and black magic practices, were nothing more than thousands of years old alchemy. He believes in element and mathematical magic. To him the 4 members of Led Zeppelin made a magic 5 which is the total Led Zeppelin. Zep doesn’t exist without the other parts.
Who’s to question him, he’s Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin one of the biggest bands in world history. LOL

Cav, my brother and I talked about not showing the face and not saying the name in the media, but yeah that will never happen, because there’s always some reporter or someone trying to make a name for themselves.
Tim,
The thing that sucked the WORST was when ya did a collab with a visitor from far away back in the day (before internet/digital/distance collab). For instance… back in the mid-90s when I was relatively new to studio engineering and mastering, I put a cat from Chi-Town on my record…
I was still on an analogue multi-tracker and messed up the EQ on his verse (well, it sounded GRAND at the time after drinking all day! LOL). The day after… OH $#!T(!!!)… and he had already returned home. I had to make due with what I got, being he wasn’t coming back for another year and my album was dropping in about 6 months.
Man… the CREATIVITY I used to ‘fix’ his verse became a staple of a new ‘sound’! And while this ‘sound’ didn’t last long, it was POPPIN'(!) for a time.
Lessons learned…
1) DON’T get hammered before a studio session!
2) Failure is NOT fatal.
3) Creativity is BORN from mistakes! 🙂
Don’t say cut either. Just keep going, lay it down, worry about it in post. What you’re talking about is a magic that happens when you allow it to be. The mistakes were not always mistakes. It was organic movement and sound. The best stuff is born of this. 🙂
What ?
Tim, all the pressure should be off Ballage, because of his draft status and the fact that we have 2 vets ahead of him on the depth chart. With that said he’ll need to better done to get PT, other than ST.
I agree he’s a 1st round talent.
Just watched the Congemi interview, Ballage sounds very well spoken.
His highlights show he has very good feet, with his best trait being his pass catching. His transition from catching the ball to turning upfield is perfect.
He’s natural catching the ball like Terry Kirby, Ronnie Brown and Kenyan Drake. He’s also a load at the 2nd level. He can outrun people too.
Loved Terry Kirby
Loved Kirby also, one of my favorites

So Gesicki and Ballage showed up. Always see going to something like that as a sign of maturity.
Agreed, Stanger!
Not sure who everyone is, but lots of QB numbers in there.
2 guys on the right are Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield. Mayfield looks pretty sturdy.
Been saying that is both what Johnny Football and Kaep should do for a while…..get out there and make some plays on a wider field. Least one of them listened. 🙂

Why make excuses for Home? He’s a mentally unstable loser. He poisons every board he’s allowed on. Let him sit in his Mom’s single wide and stew.
Wow.. JJ is the man !! What a service to the community during this tough time.
JJ Watt….as a Wisconsinite, I have to love him
So you’re suggesting that in tribute to him and his homecoming,
a much deserving Gore will get the first running play of o18 ??
I’d agree, even if only in tribute, while I think we’ll get from him what is the norm of him with a balance of Drake, and a decent Togo’s offering from Ballage!!!
I believe that Sitton/Kilgore and reasonable health from T to shining T
fixes the OL, (FINALLY)!!!
GOFINS!!!
FINALLY THE HOME TEAM wins a game in the Eastern Conference NHL Finals!!–Lightning prevails at home in Amalie Arena 3-2 over Washington!! Tampa Bay now leads this series 3 games to 2 after losing the first 2 at home! Beertender, bring me a Colorado Kool-Aid!!! The Lightning are one win away from their 3rd Stanley Cup Finals!!!!!
Just re-read, Miami Dolphins Defense 2018 and **Offense*, and I think it’s a great spin/perspective for this upcoming season.
I’m hoping a little more patience will begin to SHOW ME that a winning team culture is being developed/created. Lots of levels to translate this to.
And for once, can we start the season whole?
Thanks Krishna – Appreciate that! I hope so too, I like our roster, and if Gase is the guy we think he is, we should have a promising season
From the 1st round WRs of the 2015 class who will have the best year?
Amari Cooper(#4 overall pick), Kevin White(#7), DeVante Parker(#14), Nelson Agholor(#20), Breshad Perriman(#26) or Phillip Dorsett(#29)? Last year rankings were Agholor>Parker>Cooper>Dorsett>Perriman>White
We think we’ve had problems with Parker’s production and injuries, look at the careers of White, Perriman, and even Dorsett.
Chicago thinks Kevin White is going to have his breakout season this year, he’s finally healthy, and they think this is it. I wish we could say the same for Parker, who always has everyone thinking this is the year he breaks out until it doesn’t because his foot hurts, hamstring, or whatever shuts that down and has everyone shaking their head that “it” happened again.
Hey OD l know I have a bet with you. I just can’t remember the exact specifics of what it is do me a favor and remind would you?
Shit. Home likes Godert more than Gisicki? Mike is there still room in your wagon?
LOL
. We all love Home a lot,
Speak for yourself Stanger. There is no love for the worthless troll here.
Bad wording on that Rock (should have just spoken for myself)….. even as note you pulled that out of a warning to the other board. Figure Home has his own stuff in life to deal with, as do we all.
Guess ’tis the off season, but when I look at this team and what Vegas and the power rankers say…..same Q always comes up for me. What is the weakness? We are solid and pretty deep across the board except maybe on OL.
Might be we are average cause of the lack of special talent as in the we need playmakers era. But still a team not to be taken for granted.
Thanks for visiting Rock!!!
Funny that you remembered “””white Russians””” for what must be at least a decade by now 😝
GOFINS!!!
Thanks to you too KONG!!!
“””Sippy Cup””” too funny a memory !!!
Hope you guys will visit now and then if not always,
We can use some fun PROFESSIONAL FAN input!!!
Much of our older, casual fan base has fell by the wayside due to being heartbroken time and again, ALL GREAT FOLKS who will hopefully return once o18 kickoff!!!
Thanks again to all that have visited,
and accepted the Shout as well as myself!!!
GO SHOUT!!!
GO MOB!!!
GOFINS!!!
You encouraging there folks to come here?…….seems fair is fair. 🙂
Absolutely Stanger, told all how fun & knowledgeable the MOB is recently as well as over all these years!!!
However, they’re a pretty mild, older bunch for a taste of the MOB!!!
The MOB’S pace is likely a lil to feverish for those that aren’t quite Hard Core as you Miami Dolphin Freaks,
(an intended complement)!!!
But Yea, they’ve all heard my mentions of the Greatest, Most Collaboratively Productive Dolphin Fan Site/FinsMobUnleashed!!!
Is this site no longer private???
Thanks for visiting & input StangerX !!! 😁
GOFINS!!!
13kvFINS — Fest is Lions game (Oct 21). Not even sure where you live but it is one fantastic time. Ans how up you will learn we ain’t exactly high school students, and nothing but group love……plus a dinner the night before and the Dog hitting his guitar hard and well Friday night on Hollywood Beach.
And forgot to add in that the site has never been private. Your first post has be approved (which just means make sure not obvious spam) by one of the six admins though.
Cool Bro, thanks for the invite!!!
When schedule came out
The Lions game was one of my top choices,
Hopefully $$$ will make it be,
I’d greatly enjoy that!!!
Born in Miami, grewup minutes away from Miami Gardens Drive though the OB was where I bussed myself to from 10 to 16 (pretty much ran away from home for every Sunday game at the OB)!!!
Spent 25 years in NorCal, came back to Fla 20 years ago PSL 90 miles north (just outside of the blackout zone) of what I refer to as Joe Robbie Stadium!!!
Hope to get there 10/21 and mingle!!!
Will there be a MOB BANNER, how to find you all??
Thanks again for the invite,
I feel special & GRATEFUL!!!
GOFINS!!!
For sure we can get you to the tailgate (and Chef Warren does a great job). A nice one with like 20+ folks even if we don’t do banners, but a whole long weekend thing. Sat nite before is real cool as well. And you could sit with us. Group seat buy in Sec 317 (that’s the 40) for $65 a pop.
NICE, sounds like a good time & unrefusable deal!!!
When’s the deadline to pay and to whom/by what manner??
Probably can’t do the entire weekend thing, (take care of Mom/Alzheimer’s), but the game is definitely a possibility!!!
Thanx Again!!!
Do you have the e-mail of anyone on the board? But i any event we’ll be talking about it a bunch till tickets have to be paid for in August. And night before is awesome…and so is night before night before.
😎 !!!
Do or Die today 🏒🏒Go Jets 🏒🏒
I’m sure most of us already know this, but just an FYI…
Two extra 3rd round picks for the Pets, smh. They do this every year, let good players go and turn them into decent picks.
Add in the fact that teams seem to be always help them with trade compensation. Amazing to me that they got a 1st RD pick for Brandin Cooks. It’s like no one gives up 1st RD picks anymore unless it’s a QB, but there go the Patriots, who picked him up for a 1st RD pick last season getting it right back. I know the Rams are going it for hard this year, but that seems desperate to me.
The Cheats got rid of Cooks, because we shut his candy add down 😉
Yeah, teams always seem to give up top value for Pets players and never seem to learn. It’s annoying.
Steve – Got rid of? Bastard’s got handsomely paid to “get rid of” him. I hate them!!!
Manitoba
Congrats to ya Good luck in the Final. Got very fast team there
Man that is Canuck polite right there……especially when talking to a guy whose puck team is from the Nevada desert. Sorry dude.
No worries was a good season , just got beat by a team that played much better than we did.. be interesting if its Vs Tampa. Gallant ended his playing career in Tampa, and he and Bolts GM Yzerman were line mates in Detroit..
Kong – To me, it’s very much like the Yankees in MLB. Everyone seems to be thrilled to help them by overpaying them in trades, like every damn time.
Good comparison, it does feel like that sometimes, ugh. I just can’t wait for this stupid Pets era to end. We’re close enough to taste it. A couple more years tops till Brady leaves. Then, if that doesn’t slow them down entirely, Belicheat will either get too old or beat Shula’s record in the next 5-8 years or so, then hopefully retire.
TWO THINGS; ROCKPHIN–YOU BET me that the Fins would get to the AFC Championship game THIS SEASON. And you got 2-1 odds from me SOO-O-O if you are RIGHT and the Fins DO GET to the AFC Championship game, I owe you $100. If the Fins do NOT get to the AFC Championship game, YOU OWE ME $50. Got that???
——-
FINDOG $ I have a $50 bet even money; he’s betting the Fins WIN a playoff game this season; I’m betting they DON’T. Hope everyone’s got this.

MANITOBA–YOUR ANALYSIS of the Vegas/Jets series was spot on. Vegas simply had the better team. IN FACT, Vegas should be favored over either Tampa Bay or Washington in the Stanley Cup Finals. They have been the BEST TEAM SO FAR in the playoffs. But things can change. In 2015 the Lightning had a 2-1 lead in The Finals and seemed destined to win the Cup. Then starting goalie Ben Bishop went down with a serious injury—-and Chicago went on to win the series against teenaged Andrei Vasilevskiy who, we all thought, would see NO ACTION in that series.—“VASY,” now an EXPERIENCED STAR IN THE NHL (and one of the 3 finalists for the Vezina Trophy) wants revenge in the Finals. But, first, the Bolts need to put-away a tough and gallant Washington Capitals team led by the best player in the NHL, Alex Ovechkin. It won’t be easy.
GAME 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals is tomorrow night in Washington. The VISITING TEAM has won 4 of the 5 games played so far in this series. And Tampa Bay is the visiting team.
GOOO-O-O BOLTS!!
STEVE in CCNV; Congrats to your team. Winning the Stanley Cup in their FIRST SEASON would be the second most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in Pro Sports history!!–Only the Dolphins’ PERFECT SEASON exceeds it, in my prejudiced viewpoint!
VGK, the fairytale continues.
Drove to D.C. Saturday to celebrate our niece getting her masters degree at GW. Good stuff! Then drove home today. That’s not a fun back to back drive. LOL
But it was well worth it, she worked really hard for 5 years to accomplish this and now she’s hooked up with a good job and living her life in D.C. with her girlfriend who also graduated from GW two years ago. They’re both really good kids.
“The first-round pick is No. 32 overall, the last selection of the round. The Patriots also will trade a third-round pick (No. 103) to New Orleans and receive the Saints’ fourth-round pick (No. 118), sources tell Russini.”
Cooks is a 1st rd talent. He was drafted in the 1st by NO in 2014, has been productive but teams keep moving him for 1st rd picks etc. Why?
No OD that was not me. I thought you might be getting confused again. someone else offered the two to one I was pretty sure that our bet was a straight up wager about winning while Ross is still the owner
which one of you guys was it that offered OD the 2 to 1?
phelon
Thanks Rob.
OD, I believe our wager was a straight up 100 bet that the Miami Dolphins would WIN a playoff game with Ross still the owner
Phindog, do you have the bet with OD for 50/100 for the AFC championship game? I know that wasn’t my bet. I am pretty sure I had the 100 bet that we WOULD win a playoff game while Ross still owns the team.
Wasn’t me… I didn’t make any bets with OD or anyone else.
I agree with Chris Perkins here
here are three positions the Miami Dolphins must get quality production from to have a sucssful season this year, and interestingly they’re the positions the franchise has its longest Pro Bowl droughts — quarterback, linebacker and tight end.
Miami hasn’t had a Pro Bowl quarterback since 1995 when Hall of Famer Dan Marino earned his final berth.
Miami hasn’t had a Pro Bowl tight end since 1993 when Keith Jackson earned a berth.
And Miami hasn’t had a Pro Bowl linebacker since 2010 when defensive end Cameron Wake earned a berth as an outside linebacker/rush end. Prior to that it was 2008 when Joey Porter earned a Pro Bowl berth.
The Dolphins have produced a Pro Bowl player at every position — including long snapper, punter, kicker and guard — since they’ve last had a Pro Bowl quarterback, tight end or linebacker.
My twitter just blew up!!!!!
The Lady in blue will not be at the OTA today!
DILLIGAF
HUH?
I didn’t realize that we drafted two linebacker team mates from Ohio in back to back years with McMillan and Baker.
Add to the list of forgotten posters:
Lemmus
Rock i bet you $1000.00 that the miami dolphins would play football this year.
Don’t you remember?
And i bet you 1000 that Rob would make a 1000 dollar bet with you.
back from the Golf tournament, won the battle but lost the war!
went 3-1 but our team lost big!
No, I only had a bet with OD and I am pretty sure it was a straight up $100.00 bet that the dolphins WILL will a playoff game while Ross is still Owner. no other modifiers.
OD seems to be getting his bet’s and who he bet with confused!
Rob, I have to go back through the archives, but I think the bet you and I made was a $10,000.00 that you would write “work horse” at some point this year on the blog.
Phelon and OD are on for a $50 bet at 2:1 that Miami will win a playoff game this year. Phelon has the Dolphins winning a playoff game OD owes $100 if they do.
Rock I don’t know what your bet is.
I’d take OD’s side of that bet, except for going against the team. Think 2-1 make the playoffs would be fair.
Frick’n record your bets….here’s one I still have in my files:
—————————-
“If Manning is not healthy enough to play NO TEAM will want him, if he is healthy enough to play Indy will keep him….”
Markey — I’ll make a bet with you.
If Peyton signs a players contract with Indy for 2012, I will put out five messages at least an hour apart that say “Markeyh is Great and Wise” without anything else in them.
If he signs a players contract with any other team you do the same (with my name in there of course).
If he retires, it is a push.
Agreed?

You realize I am the seer? You also realize I won a bet this year when someone questioned my abilities? Keeping all this in mind I accept your proposal….

Stanger – Did Markey post what you said after he lost? I don’t remember
The Seer followed through……
Mmmm, “””Markie Post”””, Yummy 😜
I wanna know how OTA’s are going . . . Any news?
oh DUH, they start tomorrow 😛
but don’t get all excited tomorrow either. The TEAM will release some fluff stories and some pictures, but the media doesn’t get access until WEDNESDAY
Because he got derailed for a season. This is just as pertinent as it was last year.
LOL @ Tim making nice to Misi on that blog article. 🙂
Meany! LOL

I feel for him, but man, I think it’s way past overdue that we stop counting on him though.
MIKE E, You are just a big meany!
Does anyone know if Misi retired?
Wow nice comeback from the Lightning to go up 3-2 after being down 2-0 to the Caps.
Roger will probably never let it happen, but I’d like if at the stadium could say, “Want a Bud Light, a Chili Cheese Dog and a ten spot on the over for the 2nd half.”
Now THAT would be progress!
Cav — Supreme Court just ruled that can happen. Now up to the state gov and Ross.
I’d be impressed if you still had a ten spot left after getting a Bud Light and chili cheese dog at the stadium. lol
Obviously the bill involved would not have Andrew Jackson’s face on it. 🙂
Love chili cheese dogs. Yum!
there’s a vet OG??????????????????
Rock – You met me, you know I’m a big meany
I am typically drunk when I have met you, but as I recall, you weren’t very mean and you weren’t very big either…..

I don’t know if Misi ever officially retired, but this article from last off-season said he was going to.
Now Bookman, he carries a freaking keg sized mug. He’s pretty big. Son is kinda a big boy too. Stanger is TALL if not so thick.
You don’t look so big LOL
We all got our own stuff, but when it comes to the Fest…Mike E is our fitness model. Albeit without much competition. 🙂
Sporting my Tannehill jersey with pride
so you are the 17 in aqua, right ? who is the other 17 (in white)?
Dark Ritchie is a FA vet OG.
Do you want him?
No
LOL
me neither
Hey Rock which one are you in that picture?
not sure why my avatar won’t go back.
oh there it is … n/m … still sending best wishes for a full recovery to Ken the Real Hulk.
