The Dolphins currently have 11 wide receivers on the roster, so that means that basically half of them will be gone when we start the season and cut down to 53. It’s possible we keep 6 WR’s, although last year we only had 5 WR’s on our roster. Our new additions Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola are obviously 2 WR’s that are IN. Kenny Stills and Devante Parker are the other 2 that are definitely IN. That leaves 1 or 2 spots that will be up for grabs in what I hope is a pretty fierce competition. Let’s take a look at who’s in that competition for the last 1 or 2 WR spots.
Jakeem Grant WR – 5’6″ 169
I feel like Grant has an excellent chance of making the roster for two reasons. The most obvious reason is his potential and experience as a dynamic kick returner. The new kickoff rules at least in theory seem to favor speed, and Grant has that in spades. He has returned both kickoffs and punts, and in addition, he has shown flashes of big play capability. Last season Grant had 13 receptions for 213 yards and 2 TD’s. That’s a nice 15.6 YPR and a TD every 6.5 receptions. That’s maximizing your opportunities. Personally, I think Grant is a shoo in, but I don’t mind if some of the other guys make it a tough decision, that’s what competition is all about.
___________________________________________________________________
Leonte Carroo WR – 6’0″ 211
It’s strange, but I think if anyone could ever benefit by being injured, right now it’s Leonte Carroo. Frankly, this kid has shown so little, there’s a good reason why I consider him LC3, the WR counterpart to RB Daniel Thomas A.K.A DT3. Both players were traded up for which squandered multiple picks (3 to be exact!), and both players are disappointments. DT3 is now finally off the radar, but Carroo recently had a minor knee surgery which momentarily gives him a reprieve of further disappointment. 2 seasons, 10 catches and 98 yards and 1 TD for the 3rd RD pick we traded 2 additional picks for. This guy was dynamic at Rutgers, a burly wide receiver with good speed and some run after the catch ability. We just haven’t seen any of it and it seems as if this kid just isn’t motivated. Maybe the actual threat of being cut will inspire him to get his ass in gear, but Carroo who doesn’t play special teams is on the bubble in my opinion.
____________________________________________________________________
Francis Owusu WR – 6’3″ 210
Owusu has nice size and speed to go with it. The big WR ran an impressive 4.37 at his pro day, and looked good in camp and preseason, but didn’t make the cut last year. The UDFA Stanford player has a shot this season, especially if LCIII stays on his current trajectory. Owusu looked pretty good last year, and while he doesn’t quite have the athletic ability of Devante Parker, he has the size and speed, and looked to have pretty have good hands. I recall being impressed with him last year in the preseason. The kid has the ability to go up and get the football too with a nice 39″ vertical. If he makes the most of his opportunities, he has a shot, especially if we go with 6 WR’s.
_____________________________________________________________________
Rashawn Scott WR – 6’1″ 199
Rashawn Scott is now 26, and the former Hurricane product is running out of time in Miami. He was on the PS and actually made into 3 games total on ST’s, 2 in ’16 in 1 last season. If Scott can show the kind of play he had in his senior season at Miami, he may be able to crack the roster, but again, it would have to be a 6 WR corps. His last year at Miami, Scott caught 52 passes for 695 yards and 5 TD’s. Injuries and maturity issues have kept Scott from succeeding, and this is probably his last shot with the Dolphins, so if he stays healthy and on the straight and narrow track he has a shot, albeit a slim one.
______________________________________________________________________
Isaiah Ford WR – 6’1″ 194
Last year’s 7th RD pick, Ford comes into training camp facing an uphill battle. Like Jarvis Landry, Ford is more quick than fast. He has 4.6 speed, which is adequate, but he has to run crisp routes and show good acceleration out of his cuts, which Ford does. The former VaTech player had a very nice college career, with 24 TD receptions, and 210 receptions overall. Not to be repetitive, but I think the only way Ford makes the cut is if we carry 6 WR’s. Ford most likely is a slot WR.
________________________________________________________________________
Drew Morgan WR – 6’0″ 187
Morgan was an UDFA pickup last season who spent some time on the PS squad. The former Razorback WR had a decent career at Arkansas, and is a crafty route runner. He lacks speed and physicality and play strength so Morgan will have play at a very high level to open some eyes in minicamp and training camp. Morgan has better than average hands, and has showed he will make the tough catch in traffic. He’ll have to do those things and more to have a shot at making the 53.
Finsmob Unleashed 
There is no “evil genius” when it comes to Belicheat*… he’s a FRAUD, a CHEATER, and exploits every single loophole in the book.
Belicheat* could have JaMarcus Russell as his QB (and name a loser at every single other position to complete their roster), and he’d still be a playoff contender every year.
And that Robert Kraft* is BFFs with Roger Goodell is also VERY telling.
And just watch… the Patsies* are going to end up signing Dez Bryant…
So Landry did say it. Not cool. Good riddance!
I’m not trying to run all over the internet to find what you’re talking about (and I BELIEVE you). Could ya kindly link me to something, Bro?
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jarvis-landry-browns-quarterback-situation-is-a-lot-better-than-what-i-had-in-miami/
KNOWING what we all know about Tannehill and his work ethic since the very day he was drafted in 2012… YES… Jarvis just took a shot at Tannehill.
Screw Jarvis Landry.
Tannehill has been having those throwing sessions away from the facility for years. Jarvis is lying. He should be grateful, CLE was the only team willing to deal for him and pay him. His market wasn’t all that big. Tannehill is the QB who helped you get the pay day the most douche!
And thank you for sharing… I wanted to see if there was an angle by which Jarvis could have been taken out of context.
Miami radio was suggesting that maybe Landry just wanted the ball with better placement so that he can catch AND run…
So I’m thinking to myself..
Maybe if you were able to create more than a few inches of separation you wouldn’t be tackled immediately upon completion??
Shoot we could toss it 5 to 30 yards out in front of you,
and you’d still be tackled immediately so that you couldn’t tackle the interceptor!!!
Almost a ZERO threat to get over the top,
You’re any easy cover!!!
You’re only worth a damn if able to square-up on the defender (who initially missed his coverage responsibility), and for the dreaded when not required One Handed Catch!!!
Like P suggested upon JL goin to Cleveland
“””Enjoy South Beach, which is the South Side of the Ohio River””” LMAO!!!
GOFINS!!!
M – Why do I think NE fades this year? Brady is old. Gronk has become an individual. Bellichek is losing the locker room. Miami has more talent.
REALIZE that I hope you’re right, Bro!
It looks that way, but until it happens I’m not counting on it. We need to just take the division with our play, not worry about them. Can we do it? Don’t know yet. We’ll have a feel for what we are week 3-4. Then again started off 1-4 in 2016 and finished 10-6 and playoffs. Go figure! LOL
I’m actually COOL with T.O. skipping the HOF ceremony about himself. I think it takes BALLS to skip a ceremony, which was to be ALL ABOUT him. Perhaps he’s finally growing up a little bit. The ‘old’ T.O. would have gone to Canton and BASKED in his own SUN.
I realize this matter is controversial, but he might FINALLY have realized that it’s not ALL about himself.
He is going to throw his own very personal event all about himself and not be there an honor the other inductees. Same T.O., he’s a show.
I don’t think you’d know ANYTHING about the problems of personal pride and fame. That’s not a diss to ya, man, nor am I being sarcastic at ALL… I’m just sayin’…
Some people have problems that others will NEVER understand. Ricky is one such example.
Okay, you said maybe he finally grew up. Two different points here, man.
According to his statement he just wants to celebrate elsewhere
I do nt think he’s skipping it bc he doesn’t think he deserves a ceremony
Either he wants to enjoy it somewhere else in a more exclauivs setting with people who are close to him or he’s bitter about something IMO
I don’t think it’s a huge deal
It’s his choice – he earned induction
I think he will regret not going one day and enjoying that moment but it’s his choice
It’s not a big deal at all. Just weird. But it’s T.O. LOL
13kv, Gase often said even when we were 3 WR, TE and RB teams play us base defense. They covered Landry with LBs and safeties. Stills and Parker drew the corners. That says a lot, and still a low YPCA.
Yep, FerSure Knight !!!
WHILE YOU FOLKS were discussing Landry, T.O., etc., I was watching perhaps the best single period of hockey in this year’s Stanley Cup Finals!!! After a scoreless first period, the Knights came from behind to take a 3-2 lead in game 5 with a goal in the last minute of period #2. The noise level in T-Mobile Arena has been deafening as Doc Emrick and Eddie Olcyck try unsuccessfully to be heard over this incredibly raucous crowd in Las Vegas! —CAN’T wait for the third period to start!!
Good stuff!
Grants gonna blow some minds this year, he’s a man on a mission, got his shit down!!!
Talk about separation, watch and learn JL,
Ohhh wait, you can’t teach speed !!!
Grants got some Bull to him too, don’t want him squaring you up either in tight quarters, but epecially if he’s been running for 30 yards at 23 plus MPH, and your stationary, ZIPPP C’YA !!!
GOFINS!!!
That’s why I replied to Mike on this blog article that Grant is a lock as well. It’s a battle for a 6th spot. The team feels they’re deep at WR. Grant is part of that.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
According to his mindset,
I could see him potentially leaping Parker for the game one start, and I like Parker…
Gonna be extremely tough to cover our WR’*s no matter which 2, 3, 4, or 5 end-up on the field!!!
NOT A ONE (by himself) IS AN EASY COVER,
someone’s gonna be wide open, especially in multiple WR sets!!!
GOFINS!!!
New RB and TE group as well. Much more athletic talent.
I have no idea why the national media is so down on us, because of Suh, Landry and Pouncey? We were 6-10 twice with all of them. Pouncey played 5-6 games in 2016 when we made the playoffs. Jones was out for the year as well after 4 games. What?!!! LOL
😁
And Ajayi had JUST those 3 two hundred yard games!!!
Last I checked,
If I recall the ball park number?
I think he ((averaged)) fewer than 50 yards per game
For the total of all games played, (other than those 3 monster career games)…
Can’t remember if I came up with that number with
(Exclusion or Inclusion of those THREE CAREER GAMES)…
Either way nothing special other than those 3 Sunday’s,
Especially once a fricken RB turns full of himself DIVA!!!
LOVE DRAKE & BALLAGE LONGTERM,
I see something special in Ballage as well as Kenyan!!!
Been a long time,
But think I see some Eric Dickerson in Ballage…
GOFINS!!!
Vision, Balance, Power, Speed, Beastly Size, runs upright but almost always falls forward!!!
SMH = send more hotties
The Caps up 4-3, half a period to go.
MTP is the abbreviation I had trouble with. I knew it referred to Tannenbaum and I think it’s Mister Tradey Pants. Am I right?
Yes he and he only makes trades lol, but since he’s been here 2015 we have had 4 drafts of 7 or 8 drafts picks every year. Never without a 1st or 2nd. Even the 3rd rd with the exception of his first year in 2015, anyone know?
88 ??
Or did I misunderstand the question??
And a bunch of our draft picks are actually sticking/contributing!!!
Why didn’t we have a 3rd in the 2015 draft?
Top a my head, still think’n 88,
Remember we traded something for him,
But can’t remember if we landed him in the 2ND or 3rd,
Or even in o15
Off the top of my head…
Obviously I answered the question wrong,
So don’t make me go searching, LOL 😏
#10 ??
UDFA’s too!!!
G,T,& G
CONGRATS to Washington for winning the Stanley Cup!! –Their comeback win in Vegas proved they deserved to win this championship—the first for the Caps in their long history! And how about a tip of the hat to Vegas for the most amazing performance I’ve ever seen by a first year pro sports franchise!!!
—————–
IF there is any consolation to Lightning fans, it’s the fact that they had a 3-2 lead over the Caps after 5 games of the Eastern Conference Finals!!–IMHO the Caps and the Bolts were the two best teams in the NHL this season.

FINALLY, Alex Ovechkin should be the unanimous winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy for bring the best player in this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. He was the best player on the ice!
Alex Ovechkin earned this. He’s been battling for years. Great player!
Please D.C., don’t burn down your city. Enjoy it, not destroy it.
Steve: great season by yer Knights. Sucks they didnt win but as soon as Wonder Woman was shown in a Caps jersey, it was over for me 🏒🏒🍺🍺
Very good final, no bad feelings , and yes Ovie deserves and earned it …
K Now GO PHINS !!!
Thanks Kramer, just leave your $50 on the table.
SADDENED TO LEARN THAT CNN’s Anthony Bourdain died at 61 from suicide. Suicide, the Silent Killer, is a rapidly escalating cause of death in these times of economic recovery.

It’s Mikey Tradey Pants. Grier had him tied up tight this past draft, gagged too. 🙂
Tim – Did you not see the last line of what I wrote about Jakeem Grant. Lock, shoo in, are they all that different? 😉
“Personally, I think Grant is a shoo in, but I don’t mind if some of the other guys make it a tough decision, that’s what competition is all about.”
I just read the post
Nice job Mike
This year’s crop of samurai include some of the swiftest swordsmen we’ve had in a while.
I will miss Landry who was a reliable archer but maybe Parker can slay some sepreants his year with his katana and Stills has been quite skilled with the Tanto since we traded for him.
Wilson and Amendola already come to us renowned for their Hanbo mastery.
Look to Grant to occasionally cause some carnage with his Naginata
(Piggy bows)
Thanks Piggy – I like the way Landry played the game, but I’m hoping spreading the ball around more to Parker, Stills, Wilson, Gesicki, Gore, Drake and Ballage and Grant will make the offense so much less predictable and stagnant. When you’re throwing what seems like every other pass to one guy, the defense kinda knows who to cover.
I think Gescki and the RBs help this argument but I’m not huge fan of the idea that we will be better by getting ready of the guy who was open while the others weren’t
The lack of creativity on offense last year should not be on Landry’s shoulders.
I’m excited about 2018 for a lot of reasons. But I am scared that our coaches are a problem and managed to escape scrutiny by pointing the finger elsewhere
I do think having Tannehill from the outset rather than Cutler is huge for us. And with the exception of no more Suh, the defense looks built to do some damage
AHHH, so Piggy is a Forged In Fire fan Huhh
Unbelievable are the pieces of art those guys make in such a short time period, love that show, and some of those ancient weapons are crazy cool!!! 🌋 🔨 🔪
MTP = More Than Pork
LOL – That’s fitting. “Listen honey, I’m more than pork you know”
What could be more than pork, beef?
Piggy – It’s not necessarily that he was always open, but he was always close enough to get the ball to, whether it was a screen, or just a short route, which is really the problem. Too many short passes to the same player makes it difficult to get 1st downs.
My hope is that the short passes are to the running backs, and we give them some space to run, and the other throws are a little further downfield.
And move the ball, too many of his catches were at the LOS and he didn’t get many yards after catch, because he would turn and stop, instead of turn and go.
In baseball the guy that was never great for any one year, but had good career stats is known as a stat compiler, that’s Landry.
He was always up there in YAC, because when you catch 100 balls even a couple yards after every catch will get you a lot of YAC.
Better by subtraction, dont let the door…
Woman: “Where’s the beef”
Piggy: “No beef here, want a pork sausage?”
Woman: “I’ve never been to Vienna, but I think I will still pass”
Steve – Not a perfect analogy, but when I used to play roller hockey, we had certain guys that we called “Goalhangers”, because instead of skating up and down the field and they always scored the most goals because they were always close to the goal. Landry was like that, he caught the most passes because he was always closer to the LOS, so the most visible and easiest to get the ball to.
Lol,
cherry picker is what we used to call them, among other things.
Bottomline is, in a few months no one here will miss Landry.
That would be ideal
I don’t miss him now.
You guys will be talking about him, like you talk about Omar.
Yes Mike, we should be getting the bulk of our short receptions to our RBs, those are the guys geared to working around the LOS.
Nothing pissed me off like a pass to Landry behind the LOS, that gained zero or negative yards.
Been suggesting for years quit wasting that Bubble Screen on 14, in most cases he can’t make anyone miss, all you’re gonna get is what he can bulldoze for (from behind or at the LOS)!!!
Make that play Grants play, they did towards the end,
And he’d make the first two guys miss, and five, ten yards up the field he’d bull doze for the yardage that 14 was trying to get at the LOS!!!
GOFINS!!!
Wilson is great at it too. When you use a non shifty guy that is being keyed on to run the bubble screen you get bad results. This is on the coaches/QBs.
All but Gesicki signed

—————-
Can’t say it’s on the QBs if that’s what was called by Gase.
In order for the bubble-screen to work, you’d better have a good blocking WR on the edge. IMO, Jarvis was our best blocking WR… so he should not have been the target of any bubble-screens to begin with.
Ideally, we’d have 3 WRs lined up on one side… and it should’ve been DeVante, Jarvis, and Jakeem. Bubble-screen it to Jakeem, and have Jarvis and DeVante spring him loose.
The blame for QB doesnt come on the bubnle screen, but short passes to Landry, checkdowns.I
Any of you seen or been affected by people on this Flakka shit? I now its really getting out of control in some of ya’lls areas.
It’s been years since we talked about it here.

———————————
I think the WR screens have been a completed failure. With a back like Drake we should run more traditional RB screens and wheel routes. Could probably use Grant out of the backfield or from the slot, pulling the OL in a more traditional screen blocking formation.
It might be that the actualy speed of Grant makes the trips formation less noticeable as a formation we run WR screens out of, and that in itself ups the success rate, but in general, in our past that trips formation WR screen has been a huge failure.
While I wouldn’t give up on bubble-screens altogether, I don’t like them, either! VERY low success rate to begin with.
I agree with ya, D.
I could see how it could work better with our given our new WR’s but im still skeptical of its success, especially with mini midgets out there. If we had some Anquan Bolden’s, Steve Smith type guys out there, i could see that shit working better.
Steve Smith is a “”midget””

——————————————–
It depends on what you are missing. I think we can have a productive unit without him, so im not going to miss him in the sens that i think the entire offense is going to be broke without him. I will still miss the over all tenacity of his play. I will miss the fact he never gave up on plays and just accepted the yardage they gave us and would fight for as much as he could and many times get us a bunch of extra yards as a result. I wont miss the fact he was a tough as nails player who gave us his best on every snap. So yeah i think we will miss him, but i dont think we will miss him in the sens we will be pining for him to be on our team to make the offense whole again.

Exactly. We have a SEVERE lack of blocking WRs in the mold of your above mentioned… and Hines Ward was probably the best to ever do it (blocking WR).
As such, I think we should stop using bubble-screens as much as we had in the past.
This is a new offense, if they don’t work use them less often, but some plays are used to setup other plays. You line up in trips and see how the D reacts, if they show something like guys selling out early, next time maybe you go deep.
Totally Agree Steve!!!
Some plays are run simply for the sake future reference!!!

Are you referring to bath salts? Nah, not so much up here in PA.
Not to much here on the panhandle either. Mostly prescription drug abuse, meth and heroin around here.
Maybe they are just putting Gesecki though the earn your spot stuff, but Beasley is waiting to see it at least.
——————–
In the four practices open to reporters this spring, the rookie out of Penn State has been a non-factor. He has even looked lost at times. As a result, his reps have largely come with the backups this spring, behind returning veterans A.J. Derby and MarQueis Gray.
Now, if the calendar read early September instead of early June, this would be a flashing red light. Instead, it’s one of countless unresolved story lines as the Dolphins near their summer break.
Loggains said that Gase had to earn his way to where he is, and believes that everyone should have to do the same, nothing is given, gotta earn it!!
I understand that Fitz wasn’t with the ones initially, may still not be,
but sure both he & Gesicki will earn their spot!!*
Begin in run formation and Gesicki isn’t likely to start at all..
Probably not with the ones cuz they want him to feel that he needs to be a more complete product
Before making him feel like cool I’m the #1 TE, I’m complete enough,
Just run for reception though I’m supposed to be blocking on this play
GOFINS!!!
I’m never concerned about anything (other than injury) when it comes to OTA’s and mini camps. A week into TC is when I start to get concerned about things being reported by the media.
I do like to hear all about the OTA’s and minicamps but just saying I don’t get concerned about anything I read that is negative.
2 weeks to scallop trip. Can’t wait!
How many scallops are you traveling with?
talking about blocking WR’s, Last year, I forget which game, I saw Grant throw a block on a LB and stood the somebitch up! The LB was pissed after because he missed making a play and tried to “bully” grant after the play. Grant was having none of it and got right back in the guys face. The LB was like 5-6″ taller and AT LEAST 50lbs heavier. I was like GO GRANTMAN!
I like that, GRantMAN!!!
You got it patented??
Can I use in GRantMAN game winning TD’s pieces ??

SAME here in PA (meth and heroin). It’s VERY bad here! From what I understand, we’ve got it the very worst in the nation. If you follow me on Twitter, I’ve spoken about this matter.
Not no twitter but have heard it is really bad in your region.
Morgues are so overfilled here with drug-related deaths, that they’ve had to refuse to take anymore dead bodies… FACT. That is SO saddening to me, Brother.
And if things weren’t already bad enough, Philly has now been granted “sanctuary city” status. SMH
Mike E., Hopefully traveling back with a several pounds of scallops.
Heroin is really bad in NJ. Know of a few people including my daughter’s friends who Oded. Bad stuff!
No surprise that NJ is being affected as well, due to the proximity of the HEART of drug trafficking here (I-80 & I-81).
Yeah, I live in the so-called “Crossroads of America”.
A lot of heroin is rampant in the west hills of NJ like Wantage and West Milford which isn’t far from areas of PA. Then it trickles down into more of the suburban areas.
Landry was a great player for us. Why can’t fans just acknowledge that and move on? How this offense comes together moving forward has nothing to do with him, but I wonder how people will respond when he’s not there to bail out tannnehill when he needs to get rid of the ball because he doesn’t know where else to go. Be careful what you wish for. It may not play out the way you think.
^^^
Most fans here did appreciate what he did here and have moved on. But I will say he wasn’t great, he was very good on a 2nd rd deal for what he brought to the table. But he isn’t worth elite money but he got it from CLE – good for him.
Not worried about him not being here to bail out Tannehill because I don’t think that was ever the case. Amendola and Wilson should be able to be those short and medium range guys with no drop off. It would be nice if TE became an option too. I think we’ll see more passes to the backs as well.
LOL
I will be 49 in a couple of months and I cannot remember a period in my life when drug use wasn’t rampant. 70’s yup, 80’s lol forget about it, 90’s uh hum the isn’t a recent epidemic it has been part of the American culture since late 50s and part of the human culture as long as there has been human culture.
Heroin was never a big thing in suburban NJ when I was a teenager. It was a very small minority of people and I did know some who did use but my close friends and I were never drawn to it. It wasn’t rampant like it is now. But yes drug use was prominent – mostly weed, coke and hallucinogens.
Those were the biggest In my area too but Are used to get raw opium back in 96/97 hash and hash oil, qualudes earlier on in the early 80’s heroin in the 2000’s MDMA in the 10’s But South Florida has always been a major “port of entry”
Hash is the best high. It was around back in the day and still is but not overly popular from what I know.
Tim,
100 receptions….1000 yards….and a 10 yard average for basically a possession WR over 4 years….and was the heart of this offense. Find another player who did that in his position. No need to downplay what he did. He was awesome. Period. That doesn’t mean the decision not to sign him to a huge contract wasn’t the right decision. It probably was, but that has nothing to do with how he performed while he was here.
***
I’m not worried about the short passing game. That’s the easiest aspect of a pass attack to make work. I want to see us actually threaten the middle and deep middle of the field for a change. If we can’t start backing defenses off the LOS, we will not be successful. We need to start getting more chunk yards and not have to make 14 play drives to score a FG. We also need to focus on actually running the ball effectively. That should be our focus not throwing 4 yard passes to munchkins. Lol
He ran the high percentage routes and was durable so yeah he did a good job there. He was our version of Welker and Edelman. I’m with you on your 2nd paragraph. Part of the problem with backing defenses off the LOS was even when we were in 3 WR sets, Gase said teams played base defense against it. Landry was covered by LBs and safeties and we didn’t have the TE to make them pay.
Not downplaying Landrys play…just that he is a douche. Surprised he doesnt come around here.

I will be 49 in a couple of months and I cannot remember a period in my life when drug use wasn’t rampant. 70’s yup, 80’s lol forget about it, 90’s uh hum the isn’t a recent epidemic it has been part of the American culture since late 50s and part of the human culture as long as there has been human culture.
——————————————————
Drug use is one thing, this shit they are doing now though kills on the first time you take it in a lot of cases or makes you act so incredibly insane/violent and without regard for personal safety that it way worse than even Heroin. Heroin at least the person wastes away with some semblance of a chance to coming off of it, this new shit isnt drugs anymore its like demonic possession type shit. I cant see how any of it is eve close to pleasurable or fun.
After watching a bunch of videos on flakka id pray for my kids to become addicted to heroin before getting on that shit. Then there’s crocodile, and Salvia and This shit that is almost only found in south america called the devils breath.
Kids ar doing youtube challenges like the knock out challenge, andbluepurp challenge. If you think this is like any other generation’s drug use, you are not seeing things with open eyes bro. I dont mean that ugly either, its just you should be much more concerned than it seems like you are.
I have young kids still, this shit is really concerning to me, but maybe thats my position in life.
I have it from a good source that cavemen licked frogs. Some people will always look for ways to alter their reality. It isn’t going to change no matter what policies are made or laws are passed. People will find a way.
Its was Mike wasnt it, the source i mean.
Tim,
We didn’t have the QB to make them pay. Or the OL to give the QB time to make them pay. See, i’m trying to be magnanimous. Lol
Tannehill was hitting more down the field stuff before he went down. If we had that TE it could have been ever better. And yes the OL struggled to set a clean play-action pocket which was another reason Landry caught so many passes.
Magnetism aside, I agree.
D,
It’s interesting to watch society pick and choose the issue of the day. The numbers vary but around 80-90,000 people die each year from alcohol related issues…and billions of dollars is spent on treatment and “care”. But, I don’t see people saying we have an “epidemic” of alcohol abuse and talk about how we need to do something about it. In fact, it’s legal, accepted and even promoted.
Ding ding ding
The war on drugs is nothing but a scam.
X out that final “”ing””, stupid spell check…
We’re talking about drugs like D said that can take you out the first time you do it. Not that everything was once grand and now it’s not. LOL
“””Drugs Are Baddd, MmmKay”””
Cept fer weed’Mann
Comes right outta the ground ready for consumption,
then it’s meant to be utilized

LOL, Omar on the radio saying “””I’m an Alpha Dog, I know what an Alpha Dog is, and the Dolphins have no Alpha Dogs””””
“””Mess with an Alpha Dog and we’ll burn your house down, hopefully you’ll be in it”””

And on & on about how he an Alpha Dog goes about handling his business…

Omar wouldn’t know said “Alpha Dog” if he fell on one.
Steve, when Omar says RIDICULOUS $#!T like this, he’s free game, my man.
Omar is a mere reporter, not an OG like he wants the world to think he is. I’m actually surprised that he hasn’t been jacked the funk up for the $#!t he talks. SMH
I’m an alpha dog. Nobody sits on my bucket but me! I’d say nobody walks on my lawn, but I don’t have one. Can I be a dog without a yard to shit in?
A small one. Chihuahua. Tea cup Yorkie.
I hope when know the time has come that I have as much class Charles Krauthammer. And if you haven’t read his stuff….then you are missing out.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-note-to-readers/2018/06/08/3512010c-6b24-11e8-bea7-c8eb28bc52b1_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c3aa2efd792a
I saw that. Very sad.
But YOU have got to admit, Stanger… you HATED him before this moment.
I am a big fan of his….why did you think I might have hated him? Was just looking for his book to re-read some of his columns and was unhappy couldn’t find.
Why do you think that?
Tim,
I don’t think it was a coincidence that we were having more success down the field…some, not much….when we had a functional running game in 2016.
Agreed. Tannehill was throwing 28-32 passes per game as opposed to 38-45 and it was a more efficient passing game. I hope we get back to that this year. I also think throwing more passes to our backs as an extension of our running game could be really productive.

I really don’t care to make this convo longer than it must, but REALLY? You were a big fan of his? Are you to now tell me that you’re a big fan of Rush Limbaugh as well? Or perhaps Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity as well?
I’ve been SHUT DOWN for speaking some of the things that the great Charles Krauthammer has had to say, here.
And that’s one of the VERY REASONS why I don’t think we should speak on politics, here.
NOVEL that you can congratulate him on his death bed, but really?…
Sufficed to say, I think you’re kicking him the FACE, Jon. That’s all.
No one I respect more than Krauthammer….not sure how else to say it. Been a fan for many years. Not sure how else to tell you that. Big fan of Rich Lowry as well, and he I have met. Not sure what I (and that is me not anyone else) did to make you mad.
I don’t think you know what Stanger did for a living. But I’ll let him tell you. You’re way off here, bro.
By the way who shut you down here for speaking your mind?
When I said “here”, I was talking about everything from the SS, the FME, to the FMU. The “here” is what I consider US conversing with one another… whether it be in the past or in the present. Yes… I should have been more specific, so as NOT to invoke the FMU… being I do NOT talk politics here… but ya get the point.
And I don’t appreciate FALSE praise… and just because someone is dying.
HEARTBEAT PROPS!!!
Just shit on the linoleum Randy
Easy clean up
Stanger,
I don’t mean to upset you. Can you tell me how you supported Dr. Krauthammer, his ideals, and his soon to be legacy?
You should already know by now that I’m INTEGRATED…
All answers yes…..not sure what else to tell you.
He thinks you’re a progressive liberal is what I’m seeing. LOL
And some of the most progressive liberals used to call me a Nazi……guess you just can’t win. 🙂
M13, Stanger was involved more deeply in politics than you are or ever will be. By the way, he’s a Republican but I’ll let him explain in more detail. You’re jumping to very ignorant conclusions about him.
Welcome to Key West!

Tarpon
Used to try to catch tarpon when I went to north captive island with friends
Never caught one
Really not an easy catch
Caught a lot of catfish with the dead bait…lol
Stanger, I think M13 has you confused with someone else.
I’ve watched and listened to Krauthammer speak many times and agree with much of what he says. Even though I don’t consider myself a “conservative”, but more of the moderate “true” liberal libertarian type. Today’s platforms for both of the two major parties don’t really make sense to me. They both violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

More specifically I like samurai movies
More specifically I like a certain Japanese director (Kurosawa)
I don’t know if you were posting when I did the 7 samurai blog but once upon a time I did a 7 samurai spoof here with WR draft prospects, giving each prospect a different weapon and connection to a weather phenomenon. so I make samurai and/or references every time some one talks about receivers
(Piggy bows and lightning strikes him in the squiggly)
Sounds like those pieces were fun!!
Think I caught a glimpse or two..
Are those pieces still available here??

Tim,
Shit. I knew that wasn’t the right word, but I couldn’t think of the other. CTE! Lol
Just age, bro. LOL
Naa, just a brain fart…
I have a very different view point than Charles Krauthammer but his open letter is one I found very moving. He wrote about what he believed I. With passion and he urged open and honest discussion which I cannot agree with more. His struggle against this disease is one that I know all too well and I wish him peace in his final days.
I’ve never enjoyed his commentary on anything political
But going through what he’s going through – he deserves our respect
Ken — with you in mind wondered whether to post that, but thought you would catch anyhow. Krauthammer is a remarkable man…..and one who has been in a wheelchair since college. Read Things That Matter. He’s brilliant, and is about a lot more than just politics.

I wanted Tavon Austin Baddd @12, but Jeff Fisher jumped us,
So we jumped them for #3 where I wanted OT Lane Johnson
Who we got probably ended up being the worst of the first,
(Maybe the CB Hayden picked at 12 where we were initially)
But really nuttin special came to be of these 32!!
Maybe the DB X??
Maybe whoever we might have landed other than who we landed
would have become a Dolphin Superstar 😱

LeBroken James – What an ass, breaks his hand during the NBA Finals. I remember thinking Amare Stoudemire was an ass when he did that while on the Knicks
Did he do it punching something?
Yeah, said he broke it punching the blackboard after the 1st game, said he played the whole series after that with a broken hand
Yes what an ass, all around. I was pulling for Clev up until the finals, but not because of him.
Tim
I finally heard a caller this morning on Richard Neer’s show explaining why the Mets should trade deGrom, but Neer still rebuffed him stating the Mets still have control over deGrom for 2 years. The caller made it clear the Mets probably won’t pay the big bucks for deGrom (Boras is his agent). I was so happy to finally hear someone explain it that way. That’s exactly how I feel. deGrom’s value will never be higher, they should bring in 3 top prospects for him, and that’s just getting started. Trade Cespedes if he starts hitting, Familia if he comes back and does well, and anyone else that has some value like Bruce or Frazier if somehow they start hitting
I feel bad for deGrom. This team can’t stay healthy or hit and they’re not watchable.
Through 8 years of Obama everything had to politically correct, if anything pissed anyone off it was frowned upon. Well not standing for the NA pissed people off, why does the Obama crowd think it’s Ok? It must fit their agenda.
Because it’s not PC to oppress minority players that are protesting in a fashion that is also not PC. lol
You have to admit changing that charge call in game 1 was BS, if you can review one judgement call than you should be able to review them all. The call was a charge Cavs ball. No way should they be able to over turn that call.
It changed the series, if Clev would have been up 1-0 after game 1 it would have gave them confidence and would have demoralized GSW.
I’m not much on conspiracy theories however if you go back to game 7 Rockets vs GSW, it was the worst officiated game i had ever seen.
It’s almost as if the league and the refs were determining their champ.
If i was a player on GSW i would not be celebrating, it was a hollow victory and the had no business being there in the first place, the Rockets out played them.
Lol.
If really think Clev had any chance to win that series…
If we are gonna go NBA…..broken hand or not the main off-seasons story is gonna be where does Lebron go until he does. And I’ll take the field over the Cavs. Actually would give 3-1 odds on that.
Miami
trade Lebron for Whiteside, throw in a couple of deal sweeteners Winslow,Josh Richardson.
Dragic…Waiters….James….Olynik….Adebayo…With Wade coming off the bench
Doubt, but maybe. Thinking the Sixers. At his age don’t think any team will do the full rebuild around him. He’s gonna go to a talent base and be the over the top guy.
what do you do with Simmons? he and Lebron have similar games, Simmons won’t be that good without the ball as he can’t shoot, They also don’t have the playoff pedigree that Miami has.
do you want to live in Philadelphia…… They have a state tax, Lebron is familiar with Miami, South Beach…. no state tax..
the Rockets are cash strapped and does Lebron want to play in the western conference?
It will be interesting to see where he goes?
I would think Miami or stay put in Cleve
Didn’t say that bringing in Lebron wouldn’t mean a shake up of any given team. And do you think Simmons has some trade value? Heat are definitely possible though. But like said before….think he is out of Cleveland. His supporting cast not so good. They beat the Celts in 7 who didn’t have Kyrrie or Hayward.
I think there are other factors they may have Lebron staying put in Cleve, such as his family, Cleve is their home, do you want to uproot your family? and if you do familiarity of Miami may go a long way in the deciding factor.
IMO I can’t see Philly or the west, Maybe Boston though
you also have James Johnson….Ellington…Tyler Johnson and Rodney Mcgruder coming off the bench, James would make Miami a contender.
ORob, you are exactly right on game one. Not only was reversing that call serious BS, especially when their officiating analyst said it was a charge, but the two CLev’s possessions before that reversed call Lebron was hacked causing turnovers and no fouls were called. This allowed GSW to catch up and eventually be able to tie the game. Even the announcers called it bad “no-call’s”. The game never should have went to overtime and cav’s should have won. I didn’t watch anymore of the series after that. Didn’t want to see anymore BS.
Agreed
They said what triggered the review was the question whether Lebron was in the restricted area, it wasn’t even close, he was 3 feet outside that area and if they had any doubts by looking up at the big screen they should be able to tell that without going to the table and reviewing it. they used a loop hole to help GSW
Lebron may have been moving a little bit but was clearly there in time IMO, even if it was close you can’t change that call without IMO opening a can of worms.
It’s a judgement call, the game is filled with judgement calls that are not reviewable, if you are able to reverse the call on one then you should be able to do that on all judgement calls that come into question, at that point the game would be way too long.
Being able to reverse tgat call was BS, but it was 100% a foul on James. Clev should’ve won game 1, but they were never winning the series.
I disagree, even Steve Javy who’s been a ref in this league for years said it was a charge right there on live TV after looking at the replay. The ref under the basket also confirmed a charge.
he got to that spot, he was still sliding a little but he had already attained his position. furthermore there shouldn’t have been a review in the first place, the rule states that if the play is questionably close to the restricted line then they can review it and other circumstances kick in at that point. he was way outside the restricted area, not even close,
It’s a stupid rule, a loophole for the league to be a big part in the outcome of games. there are other stupid rules as well.
how about when a player pump fakes, gets the defender up in the air and jumps into him? the offensive player is the one initiating the contact and the defensive player gets called, or how about the rip move, when a def player is extending his arms the offensive player rips up and thru his arms initiating the contact then shoots, the offensive player gets the call.
stupidity beyond belief!
The NBA manipulated games? Whaaaat?
“IMO I can’t see Philly or the west, Maybe Boston though”
Orob — you want to put a bet down on this one? You take Miami and I’ll take Philly. Anything else is a push. And if you want a side bet will give you a 100-1 on Boston.
according to vegas odds philly is 10 times more likely to get lebron than miami, if i were to bet i think i could get a better bet in vegas than betting you straight up.
it would be a huge mistake for lebron to go to philly, the organization sucks.
lebron even said it’s not about the skill level it’s about knowing how to play winning basketball. philly is loaded with young talent with one thing in common, they are too young to know how to win.
I quit watching the NBA when Rony Seikaly left the Heat.
There are already reports concerning Gesicki because he hasn’t blow up OTAs. LOL
These early OTAs and minicamp are learning periods, not every rookie progresses at the same rate. TE isn’t an easy position to play especially at the NFL level. They’re asked to do a lot.
One of our Shout regulars (Beach Potato) brough this (in part) to our site that I hadn’t seen elsewhere…
Thought that the THill “”miked’up””” while “”coachin’up””” Gesicki was really cool back and forth interaction!!!
“”””On an excellent video feature recently produced by the Miami Dolphins social media team, a wired Tannehill literally runs the route for Gesicki, verbalizing exactly what he needs the rookie to do.
“Sell the takeoff,” Tannehill is telling Gesicki, as he demonstrates the route. “Once you get to eight, step in the ground. The ball should be in the air.”
After they run the play successfully, Tannehill tells Gesicki: “Good work. Keep doing it. You’re getting better each and every day. Have your notes on what you want to hit. Come out here and work on it. That’s what this time of year is for, to get better. A little bit better, each and every day. Keep it up.”
Replies Gesicki: “All right, boss. Appreciate you.”
Tannehill was, of course, a very successful wide receiver and quarterback at Texas A&M.
“I was nowhere near the route-runner that any of these guys are, so I can’t say that I can do it any better; but I have been in their shoes so to speak of feeling how a practice is, feeling how the heat affects you through a practice and can kind of relate a little bit,” Tannehill said. “As far as coaching guys up on what I’m expecting in routes, I think when you get in the first year of an offense, it’s a little tougher because you’re learning the offense yourself. You’re trying to understand what the coach wants, how you see it and how that blends together. As you move to Year 2 and Year 3, you can really take ownership of it and say ‘Okay, this is what I want. I need you to be right here at this time.’”
Rookies like Gesicki, Durham Smythe and Kalen Ballage will be leaning heavily on Tannehill. “”” Produc
GOFINS!!!
I saw the video and the presser with Tannehill saying this. He does show leadership ability and works with his teammates. That’s why Landry’s comments pissed me off. Shut up Jarvis, you never elevated this offense to another level with multiple QBs. You were part of why it took forever to score.
Yea, but moreso I (offered-up) in backing up your thoughts on Gesicki
ALL GOOD!!!

I think if Cleve won game 1, it could have made a huge difference in the mindset of both teams and in the series, it would have definitely gone 5 games at least, so in making that stupid call the NBA lost game 5 which amounts to big$$$$$$ LOSS

Stanger, you absolutely and totally blindsided me yesterday with your opinion of Krauthammer. I thought… ‘HUH, what does HE know about Krauthammer?!!’. I CLEARLY had you mixed up with someone else.
Sorry for the mix up, and I thought your opinion of Krauthammer was spot on. He’s truly a remarkable individual, and I truly love his thoughts and opinions; I’ve been a big fan of his for nearly two decades.
Cheers, Stanger! I’m happy to know someone here who admires that man as well! 🙂
I’m glad you posted this, bro!
HINT: what is a person who hangs out in the area once you go through a hotel’s front doors? 😉
Oh, I KNOW that about Stanger… I just thought he was someone who played left field. 😉
And even if Stanger played left field, I shouldn’t have gone on ‘red alert’ by his very nice comments about Krauthammer. Stanger has always been the most level-headed, coolest cat, and kindest dude on the blog… dating back to the SS days.
This political environment has like EVERYBODY on edge, but I should have known better when it comes to Stanger.

I can DOUBLE appreciate that one… as a Star Wars geek AND as a Sac-Town Kings fan back in the day!!! WELL DONE!!!
Javy isn’t the end all, others said the call was correct, but the way they got to the call wasn’t right. I don’t think that’s Debateable (The review), nor is anyone debating it, why keep on this path.
The NBA fixes calls, and maybe games we all know that.
What’s the point in debating game 1, when Clev waa never winning the series?
M13, I’ve met Stanger at the MetLife takeover a few years back. Really nice guy and super generous as you know from the fest discussions. He left his seat for a few came back and handed me a beer and a sandwich. He’s one of those nasty Republicans who are just greedy and hates everyone. LMAO!!!!
😆 @ “He’s one of those nasty Republicans who are just greedy and hates everyone”!!!
I’ve had private communication with Stanger, and I can tell ya that he TRULY IS A GENTLEMAN. I’ve got a LOT of respect for him!
And by the way, Tim… I absolutely trust your word, man. 🙂
I’ve met Mike E, NJ, Ken, Piggy, Al, Brian and Stanger. All good dudes. One of the reasons I always say the written word on a blog or whatever is not a fair character evaluation. Stanger points this out all the time about the fest’s.

They don’t know shit about an effective running game and how it helps the whole team!
The signing of Albert Wilson was a target player we’re sleeping on. You don’t sign a 25 year old WR with 4 years NFL experience to 3 years $24M to just be in the mix. There is a vision for him. Could be the Emmanuel Sanders roll. Gase was there for his breakout seasons.
I think the players that he competed with in KC held him back, the man is the fastest guy on the team, i’m sure he will light it up this year, he’s a great pick up!
I think Grant is the fastest. Drake is one of the fastest backs I’ve seen since Jamaal Charles in his prime.
It’s already been said that Wilson is the fastest, i’m not sure if Grant is faster than Drake
“””It’s already been said””””
They’ve all said that they themself is the fastest
Only Parker who believes he should be in the conversation,
Suggest that someone other than himself is the fastest
And that it’s unquestionably GRANT

on both sides of ball, it’s a GOOD thing!!!

OCALAROB and PHELON: –I read your comments on the Belmont with interest. Here’s ANOTHER FACT to consider. Many have said that athletes from the bygone era of the 1970’s could NOT compete with today’s “bigger, faster, stronger athletes.” Most just accept that as fact.
WELL PONDER THIS: Secretariat’s winning time in the 1973 Belmont was 2:24 flat. Justify’s winning time yesterday was 2:28.18, which is more than FOUR FULL SECONDS behind Secretariat’s winning time. Secretariat’s 2:24 time for the mile and a half HAS NOT BEEN BEATEN BY ANY HORSE ON ANY TRACK IN THE WORLD FOR THE LAST 45 YEARS!!!
Now I realize that horses and humans are different. But I believe that the very greatest athletes from the bygone era, with the benefit of modern training techniques, could, and WOULD, prosper in the modern era, too. THAT’s WHY it is proper to give them their due respect.

DAN MARINO has not played an NFL game this century. He retired in 1999. Does anyone on this board REALLY BELIEVE THAT, AT HIS PEAK, MARINO COULD NOT PLAY IN 2018?? If your answer is “YES” then you didn’t see Dan play in person for 17 seasons as I did.
Horse racing is a brutal sport, most horses don’t survive as they run them to death.
The Key phrase used was “with the benefits of modern training techniques.” That, nutrition, and philosophy are what has changed the players. A player of the 70s/80s, trained in the methods of his time, could not compete with today’s athletes. Quarterbacks are different, I think. They are not always athletes as much as having natural abilities that allow them to process information on the field faster and turn it into decisions and motion. Marino’s ability to see the open spot and then have the eye hand coordination to deliver the ball to that spot while instantly calculating multiple speed factors, trajectory, and environmental affects would play well in any era.
Rob is right about horse racing. I don’t usually watch it. Justify will probably live out his life in comfort as a stud now, but most of the rest of the field will be run until they break down on a track somewhere. Then in the best case they are given away to someone who will rehab them and use them for breeding programs. Probably more often they are just put down.
M13, have a good time golfing tomorrow! I am actually really good at putting. A couple years ago (on my regular course) had had only 26 putts during the round. Shot a 77 (best score ever on par 72). Unfortunately, most of those 1 putts were par saves. LOL My problem, obviously, is from tee to green. I am also decent at creating/recovery shots (getting out of trouble) cause I get so much practice at it. LOL
Funny stuff BBMike!!!
My friends are awe of my scrambling (“””cuz I get soo much practice at it”””), they’re always joking that I can get Parr out of a garbage can after I win the round…
Actually though I don’t find a lot of trouble, hit’Em pretty straight, but not a big hitter, so always scrambling cuz I rarely get their in regulation, but my putting has saved many a Parr, get their in ref and birdies can be had…
Best shot ever, Parr FOUR, and I knocked it in for eagle TWO from 150 yards from enter of fairway, first and only eagle ever!!!
My butt head buddy rarely broke 90, and the F’er got a hole in one from 170!!! Us old guys didn’t even realize it, the youngster group behind us starting cheering, and we’re all WTF, and they say your Buddy just got a hole in one, so my group started cheering, too funny!!! We’ve called him ACE ever since, F’er .. 😍 ⛳!!!
Certain BUNKERS on certain courses are my nemesis, way back when I got a 12 on a 3, kept crossing the green from one bunker to the other, (in frustration upon the first attempt), Mann that was ugly!!!
I Usually hit low to mid 80’s, capable of 90’s plus on a bad day, break 80 once in a while, best ever was a 75 on 72 on a day like your best when everything fell, goin for a first ever Parr round, got nervous/tight on 17 and went OB X 2 for a 30plus one putt triple on a 4, DAMNNN!!!
HARD to put two thirty something’s together on the same day, had many 30 something nines (front or back), but usually the other nine is a mid to late 40 something…
But I had been playing every Friday for 10 years when that was happening… Haven’t been playing much the last few to 5 years…
“””One of these days Alice, one of these days, bang , zoom””” 72!!!
I just started playing golf again after a 20 year lay off. And I didn’t play much back then. I’ll be signing up for some lessons, but everyone assures me that my swing, grip, and stance are really good. I just don’t contact the ball properly all the time.
Think Schad is right that more attention should be paid to Stephone Anthony…. and others agree.
“He’s been working hard. It’s always difficult to come in the middle of the season, come from a different scheme and pick things up. He works really, really hard. He’s a big athlete. He’s almost 6-foot-3. He’s 240-something. He can run and we like those body types.” — Matt Burke
“Stephone is another guy that he can do it all, He can drop into coverage, play the run. (He’s a) high-energy guy. He’s another guy that (is) a playmaker.” — Kiko

The more guys who are competing and performing well the better. It will make the team better when it gets down to the 53.
I had Stephone Anthony starting on my piece about a probable 13 different opening day starters compared to o17 game one!!!
GOFINS!!!
Not sure if he will start, but he could get a lot of play. He’s there for the tough running downs would be my guess just for starters.
M13, what does Dri Archer have to do with anything? LOL
So StangerX…
Until these past few days, I was of the belief that you were a youngster like 30 years younger than my present 59…
I thought so, cuz back in the day your avatar had a picture of what appeared to be a teenager or kid in his early 20’s…
Now that I’ve heard of some of your accolades…
I’m guessing that your avatar of 10 plus years ago
was a picture of your son ???
Or have you just aged really well???
All these years, I thought you were 30 some years younger than myself!!!
My avi was American Idol winner Kris Allen when he was a kid. And I’m just a bit younger than you…..but still not as old as MIke E…..even if look like I am. 🙂
Ahhhh, OK, thanx for the update you Ole geezer 😁
NOTHING BUT RESPECT!!!
I couldn’t figure out who his avatar was for the longest time until finding out it was one of American Idol winners Kris Allen. LOL
My best golf outing started off horrible. I was slicing everything. Shot a 64 on the front 9. After a couple of hotdogs and a beer before the back 9, I decided to just relax and not get too crazy about my score “obviously” lol. Then I started hitting everything straight and far. It was one of those zone moments where it all just came together – drives long and short, chipping and putting. Shot a 38 on the back 9 and finished with a 102. Talk about famine or feast. LOL
LOL, Too Funny Knight 😂 !!!
