Once again, the Dolphins managed to play some good football this week. The Dolphins actually dominated the 1st QTR leading 14-0, but as has been the case, good play for this team has been difficult to sustain. Talent and depth have something to do with it, but it also could be in part to a 1st year HC not having answers and unable to make adjustments. It’s likely a combination of both.
I’m sure some media people who cover our team will be hailing Minkah Fitzpatrick as taking revenge on his former team and playing unbelievable football in doing so. If you watched the game, the first INT was a true gift, a pass thrown by Fitz to TE Nick O’Leary that bounces off his pads into the waiting hands of Minkah Fitzpatrick. Couldn’t have been any easier unless it was thrown harder and and stuck in Minkah’s facemask. The next INT was just a desperation deep throw in which Minkah had deep coverage and ran underneath it for another easy INT, a pass thrown very poorly. Otherwise, Minkah was very quiet, didn’t do anything really and I hardly noticed him on the field to be honest.
Was James Connor imitating Ryan Fitzpatrick here?
I laughed pretty good when I saw Conner walking back to his sideline for assistance to remove this large chunk of turf that got stuck in his facemask after being tackled. I woke up my wife but she also laughed once she finally listened to me that it was a funny thing to see. I needed the levity, I want our team to win, and I enjoy when we’re winning. We play the Jets who have looked heinous lately. We need guys healthy to beat the Jets. X can’t play a half and then go out with an injury leaving a defensive backfield full of Nik Needham, Ken Webster, Ryan Lewis, Chris Lammons, etc. No offense to any of these fine young players but they wouldn’t be on the field other than ST’s for just about any other NFL team.
I want to beat the Jets and damn the record! I want to see Gase tormented by us, I think he’s a cocky dude who needs a little humiliation, and we can supply just that with a win next Sunday. I want to hear audio all week after the game of Adam Gase trying to explain how they lost to us and making excuses as usual. It never seems to be his fault. Sam Darnold did better last year in his rookie season w/o Adam Gase than he is doing this season with him. The great offensive guru that he is.
Did anyone last night not enjoy Allen Hurns pinball his way into the endzone last night? Was that not sumpin? I have a feeling we’ll be trying to shake up Sam Darnold next week. If you think you saw at least 3 too many blitzes against the Steelers, there may be more next week. What scares me is Gase loves the short game and the screens, and that’s what burns a blitz. When too many guys are on the wrong side of the LOS it’s easy for a short pass to turn into a long one. I hope Patrick Graham and Brian Flores keep that in mind next week!
GO DOLPHINS!

AJ Epenesa DE from Iowa anyone know about him and is he a legit mid first round pick?
He might be a legit top 10 pick
Good fallback if we don’t get Young?
He’s another guy who would fit in our multiple defense as a DE/DT like what the 49ers have done with their DL. You add Chase Young and him and your defense becomes a totally different beast.
Oh both, wouldn’t that be some shit
Kind of reminds me of JJ Watt light. Can play DE and rush from DT on passing downs. I think I’d prefer Gross-Matos from PSU over him due to better athletic ability.
Gross-Matos might be a better fit
He can do everything you want and still has a high upside in regards to growth potential. Shit, you get him & Young then you’re cooking on D.
I don’t think he’s quite in young’s category but he is really well rounded
But he might be more of a 5 technique DE
Here’s an interesting prospect that we might be able to pick up in day 2 maybe day 3, if we add chase young early, than maybe another edge guy a little later will work
Pig,
I like Chaisson as that guy who can come off the edge w/ closing speed. If I can’t get Gross-Matos I’d definitely try and get him. Like I said, I’d aim for 2 top shelf edge closers in this draft. Young and one of the other two I mentioned would be preferred.
Swing it out to Drake what a concept
Son, why not… we have three 1st round picks. I’m not one who is all in on a QB in 2020. Build the front 7 of the defense and the OL is okay with me. 😉
I’m leaning that way too. We have to start getting sacks and big plays on Defense we just watch teams do whatever the hell they want to. I’m warming to Hurts as a playmaker, modern day QB and roll with it.
I think they definitely go QB in the first along with/ possibly 2 D players. I think they’ll finally use FA for OL to protect their young investment and allow the O to properly develop. I also could our first 2nd rounder being used on Tylan Wallace WR OK State.
I think if you want an Espensa type DE you might be able to go w/ Joe Gaziano from Northwestern later in the draft and get a better value.
Thanks for checking in on this, I’m just starting to look at edge guys, we need a pass rush bad.
I think the DE’s we might see Mia target are Young, Gross Matos, and Chaisson from LSU in round 1. I agree we need more closing burst in the rush. I think Taco becomes a legit threat in this D if he has a true primary rusher opposite of him. I also think you want multiple closing speed rushers to be able to rotate & would be fine if they grabbed 2 in the first.
I like the idea of two edge rushers
But I do think given Wilkins, taco and Jenkins are all playing 5 technique – maybe we would be better off drafting 2 OLBs
Biegel and Van Ginkle are that plus Baker gives a good pass rush. It’s up front where we don’t get any production.
Van Ginkle hasn’t even seen the field
We really need a stronger edge rush
Chase Young be a huge upgrade
But that’s my focus – Outside
Young can be the hybrid edge along with guys like Beigel, Van Winkle and even Foster from time to time. Charlton also has that DE/OLB ability. There is no pure 4-3/3-4 scheme as we know.
I’m calling it a 3-4 bc it seems like we do that more than anything and we gotta have a way to define who we bring in so we know what we need and what they do
So I’m viewing draft prospects like we are building a 3-4
But I know that oversimplifies it a bit
Alabama, Florida and Notre Dame all have pairs of OLB that might help us
Worth watching those 3 teams in the next few week
DBolt
I was about to mention chaisson
Do you like him
He seems to have a lot of upside
Piggy you just want a jersey that says Young but in your case you can get his number but it should say “OLD” instead
Piggy, I know Van Ginkle hasn’t played yet but they drafted and kept him around for a reason. Nobody in the 2020 class has played a game yet either. We’re talking about next season right?
I am just concerned he is sleeping under a tree somewhere

Wasn’t it a Halloween night when Cam Wake sacked Dalton for an overtime win?
——————————–
It sure as heck was. And since was overtime and everyone stayed was jam packed in the parking lot after. Reports are that some crazed guy kept jumping out of no where in front of head lights giving the safety sign. And yes they all honked. And yeah I was juiced. 🙂
Lol, at least you didn’t get run over
No car would have dared hit me….. would have been roughing the kicker.
I like Nick Coe bc I can spell his name
He’s also a bull
I don’t think Epenesea is a first round talent. He will probably end up being more of a run defender than a sack guy. He is versatile and has a little get there in him but not first round level. I’ve watched him play his whole college career, and I just don’t see high end talent. Great measurables but the production just isn’t there. He’s not a quick twitch guy.
That’s an interesting take
He’s ranked pretty high on most websites
But he doesn’t see to be a blue chip pass rusher to me
We need a pass rush. If he can’t get home forget it we have plenty of those don’t we Mr Harris?
Piggs they’re gonna wake Van Winkle up to come off IR and he’s going to think he’s still at Wisconsin
He’s going to have a beard down to his knees when he wakes up
Maybe he’ll think he’s the quarterback
Pig,
Plain and simply I’d love to see any combo of Young, Gross-Matos, or Chaisson. They are the types of DE’s that can turn the D from almost getting there to drive stoppers. You saw the pitential of this D Monday night where someone was a step away from stopping a drive. These guys makeup that step and more.
Get two of those and Hurts, what a first round. Then a WR like you mentioned and then start on the Oline, we have plenty of picks.
Do need Corner and Safety though
Not a huge Hurts fan, but I think he’s good for a team overall even as a BU QB. I feel confident innFlores developing CB’s so I think we don’t have to invest high picks on them. Definitely want them to take care of the OL innFA….then follow up in the draft w/ scheme fit developmental players that need a year to develop…..get me any of the Oregon kids😂. Would love to see them grab a Taylor, Dobbins, or Dillon at RB also.
I want the back too, oh so many ways to go.
I’m test marketing Hurts, he looked good in the comeback that failed last week. He played really well in the fourth quarter. He’s interesting.
Itts driving me crazy but it doesn’t seem like a great year for edge
I think innrd 2 you have the following guysvthat could fit and help:
Okwara, ND
Robinson, Syracuse
Lewis, Alabama
Greenard, UF
Jennings, Alabama…..He reminds me a little of Trey Flowers.
Yeah but up top, it’s a little weak
On the other hand, it would be bad to fill that need in the 2nd or 3rd round
Especially if we draft Young
Piggs, when you mentioned olb instead of an end I didn’t mean to dismiss it entirely and there are other ways to go about but we do need sacks and fumbles. I prefer the bigger ends who can also play the run tough too like, when mentally heathy, an Everson Griffen type.
I’m crushed
I’m a mushy pumpkin pig
Lol, I’ll give you a hug
I’m keeping a close eye on Jabari Zuniga from UF
He might end up being a nice compliment to add
Drake for 1.9 on first
88 yard score
Drake is a hall of famer now
Drake has looked really good tonight. He’s no longer part of the plan but the man has talent in spades.
It’s amazing how other teams can use our guys and we can’t. That has to stop too. Every single coach comes in and he’s going to play to the players strengths, let them do what they do best, and then they proceed to do everything but that. It’s aggravating.
So the smokin’hot bartender’s brother runs a river rafting operation called… I shit you not…the Flying Pig. There is some kind of fucking karma going on here.
Incredible. And we know how Piggs loves rafting with the guys
Honestly….That’s an odd name for a water sport
did You like that scene because of the content, or because the guy looks like You?
Drake was productive for us too. What’s he’s never had a good game for us? Go look at the stats. LOL
I don’t know Tim. I’m told that stats lie and that Drake sucks and can’t run between the tackles.
I don’t know Tim. I’m told that stats lie and that Drake sucks and can’t run between the tackles.

2 Yard Run
(5:28) (Shotgun) K.Drake right tackle to ARI 12 for 2 yards (D.Buckner; A.Armstead). This is outside the tackles and was for an 2 extra points So of course it doesn’t count
I’m so glad we dumped this bum proven again and again that he cannot run between the tackles…….🤡
this team is like a fat guy with phin dog standing behind it saying squeal like a pig
looks like its gonna be a peachy day for the divided states of America morons, lol
What’s got your panties all bunched up?
Last night was a pretty good game. I found myself rooting for each team everytime they had the ball. Its been awhile since I’ve sat down and watched, let alone enjoyed a football game.
Sonny – It wasn’t just one coach, but two different coaches that basically brushed Drake aside here.
you win championships by having a strong btwn the tackles running game and playing great defense like the team that Drake was playing against.
Drake will do great in Arizona as they are a form of run and shoot, they spread the field and he’ll have open space to run.
that type of offense has never equated to team success.
BTW did Drakes team win last night? i’m not sure???
as Herm Edwards once said, “you play to win the game”
will someone send that to Flores please.

Reply
I know right? Tannehill is sitting at # 4 in the league in passer rating (of guys with over 50 passing attempts) had a higher per pass length average than he ever had here with 8.3 and is completing 73% of his passes.
I think it worth mentioning that Arizona offense is intended to run through David Johnson
So it’s not a huge surprise to see a RB put up big numbers for them
But I am frustrated we didn’t use Drake more like that as well. In Gase’s case I was really frustrated
But for Flores, I think they are a little more vanilla on offense and trying to establish a run game
i like Mark Walton, he’s a tough guy in a small frame, he makes great reads at the LOS. it would seem Flores and company are trying to establish an inside running game and a great defense. they just need better pieces.
i think we are on the right course it’s just tough to watch us lose, even more tough is losing on purpose and i suspect that’s exactly what we are doing.
i think we are not going to win any games this year, in the long run losing may be winning.
can’t wait for this season to conclude.
So, any of y’all going to the Jets game this weekend? I was thinking of going. Tickets are cheep and I think we are going to win this one. Gase is so incompetent I just can’t believe that Flores will lose to him.
I think there’s a lot more going into the decision of sitting down X for the rest of the year and it has nothing to do with a knee injury.
X may have drawn the line with some of the schemes they are requiring him to play.
maybe a common middle ground for both is to give him the rest of the year off.
I think it might be because we already used our two “to return” designations. Otherwise his injury would have to be severe enough to not be safe for him to come off of it for the rest of the year. They dont just let people stash on IR without some sort of proof their injury is that severe. Its possible they can get Dr’s to fudge it so they can, but im guessing he has at least an injury that looks like its an 8 week recovery.
potentially 8 week recovery.
DuhArnold is going to be seeing Amoebas instead of ghosts.
Rock
says the dude with turkey basters stuck to his skin with suction. LOL
I can’t stop laughing at this.
Nothing more ironic than a coach with a 54-74 record saying you play to win the game.
even a broken clock is right twice a day
I’m glad of it, even if that means all the other teams decided he wasn’t worthy of their 53.
I am right with Dbolt on his DE/Edge players.
Like I said, I like Dbolts guys (Young, Gross Matos, and Chaisson) for pass rush. Coe is a beast but not a quick twitch DE but I like him a lot. He can play DT and DE, outside on run downs and inside on pass downs. He has a good motor for a big guy.
Another DT/DE guy I liked last year but he returned for his senior season is Raekwon Davis of Alabama but have not heard much about him this season. I think it is because he is mostly playing DT this year (I think) after Q. Williams left as he has 0 sacks so far this year against a poor schedule. He is also bigger, now 312 lbs at 6’7″.
D, you got anything on Raekwon Davis ?
Randy, some of us have talked about WR’s. Some want one early. I think we should wait until middle of the draft.
What do you think of WR Tyler Johnson of Minnesota? He would be like having another Preston Williams at 6’2″ 205 lbs. I was thinking he might be an under radar guy and nabbed in the 3rd or 4th round but with the Gophers undefeated, he might get more attention. For his college career, he has 170 rec for 2613 yards at 15.4 average and 27 TD’s.
One of the local sport radio guys dubbed Sunday’s game “The Adam Gase Bowl.” Added in the real question is which team’s fans will hate him more.
What happened in Foxborough after the Wildcat game.
“Following the game, Matt Cassel remembers Belichick burying the game tape at the practice field — but was it ever dug up? “We literally went out to the practice field, dug a hole, and buried the game film.'”
LOL, that’s interesting. I’ve never heard that story. I didn’t know Belicheat used symbology or superstition in that manner.
BBM,
I don’t follow Minnesota football too closely. I’m still an Iowan! I’ve only seen him play a few times. But, I do know that the talking heads up here think Johnson is a good not great talent. He’s had to work with some pretty bad QBs over his college career and still managed to put up some decent numbers. Minnesota is about to get a big dose of reality. I think they might very well go 1-3 over their last 4 games. Their schedule has been extremely weak up to this point. It’s about to get tough. Penn St, Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin. All of them but Northwestern have top 10 defenses, I think.
I gotcha, thanks man.
As of right now, out of the 5 teams picking in the top 5, 3 of us will be looking at QB. Bengals, Broncos and us. If we are not #1 over all, I could see horsehead trying to trade in front of us.
Broncos have two wins. So not top 5, but they will probably want a QB and might move up. Gotta say not hating how the last play of the Skins game turned out right now.
LOL at Le’Veon Bell saying the Steelers were interested in trading for him. So rather than give him a big contract, they let him sit for a year, then let him walk. Now they are interested in trading a draft pick to get him back with the 3rd highest RB contract in the league?
Uh-huh, right. Enjoy the Jest, Bell. I guess you can say at least it isn’t the Dolphins. Of course we’ll see if you can still say that after this Sunday, lol.
Bell is different for sure. Gonna be interesting to see how his running style works against our D on Sunday.
He’ll probably get 200 yards, Duhrnold will have a perfect passer rating, and Gase will get some well deserved tacos, lol.
I know we have a ways to go and we don’t want to wish our time away but I can’t wait for this season to be over so we can get back to football, discussing matchups and how to win games without all the tank talk, how Minkah had 2 INTs against us and Drake looked so good for ARZ last night blah blah blah. Now we know how painful blowing it up is especially with all the talking heads in the information age.
Go Phins!!!
Tim, wait, we can talk football this week, let us not all forget it is frickin Jests week!!!!!!!! No matter what is happening, it is ALWAYS good to beat the JETS!
LOL, it is true our history with the Jets is unpredictable. Even when one team is good and the other not so much, the games can be crazy and the lesser team has won. Now it’s a battle of two bad teams but the Jets situation is worse. They were not suppose to be this bad. In fact many in the NY media felt they were a possible playoff team. Oops!!! LOL
Lol! Exactly. When Pig and I were at Slatterys on Monday night, the best thing, (other than hanging with Piggy) was not just them singing the fight song on the Dolphins scores, but everyone chanting: J E T S suck, suck, suck! Lol
Stanger, I screwed up. Denver shouldn’t be in the QB discussion. I forgot horsehead traded up in the 2nd round for Drew Lock this past draft.
Not sure Lock will deter them from taking a QB high in the draft.
Agree
We’re a scary team for opponents now. Nobody wants to be the team that loses to the tanking Dolphins. LOL
Good point, LOL
I am afraid we might win one
We better! It’s the Jets!
What is up FUers? So that is how you use Drake?
The thing about that is Drake has been used in all kinds of way since he’s been here and he’s had big games. People are acting like he never did that before and it’s not true. We all know Drake has talent and we didn’t trade him because we didn’t think he wasn’t any good.
I agree. He had big plays, especially “the Miami miracle”. I like the Drake. We just got value before he walked anyway.
Right! People forget after we traded Ajayi, Drake lead all RBs in rushing from that point on over a 6 game period or whatever it was.
If we beat the Jets, Gase is going to start really feeling the heat.
I think Gase is one and done in NY
It’s trending that way. He’s 1-9 in the last 10 games he’s coached.
Piggy, going back to your comment about edge rushers not being that strong in the draft, that might be true at the top of the draft but as we know good pass rushers are found in other rounds as well. I also think we’ll be hunting for them in FA.
It’s kind of typically a mysterio position
(An eerie sounds covers the blog)
There’s a high bust risk from anyone
And often you can find diamonds in the rough
But just the way the draft shapes up without predicting what it means for the players career, there’s a couple of really good prospects up top and then it fades quickly, with almost everyone after Espenesa getting a low 1st/2nd round grade
Those grades don’t mean much
But if you are taking a edge guy at 15, it will probably be a “reach”
It’s just not a great pass rusher year if you have 3 firsts
It’s a strong year for WR, OT and QB
Anyone that’s the way it looks to me as of November
Well you’re way ahead of it than me. I was just saying you draft some guy who just fits in the scheme say in the 2nd-4th round and they pan out even though not a blue chipper. We have so many quality picks it would be almost impossible to not hit on quite a few of them.
It’s a shit season but for all the draftniks it’s going to be very exciting. 🙂
Let’s say we take chase young
Than the 2nd round might be the sweet spot to land a 2nd rusher. I know they are usually 1st rounders, but some of the edge guys look like they have a lot of room to grow as of now
That said – there is still a lot that happens before the draft
So a guy that is expected to go on day 3 can shoot up to the 3rd edge guy taken
My guess is at least 1 pass rusher shoots up draft boards when we get close to the draft
But as of right now, I think it’s not such a strong draft for edge prospects…which doesn’t mean a thing in turn of how their careers pan out
Go Colts!
Go Jaguars!
you can forget about beating the Jets, the only way we win a game is if cincy, the jets, falcons and redskins all have 2 wins
Oh, because we are purposely losing, yeah, right. Smh
did you think hard and consider another possible course of action in your mind before reaching the decision to shake your head?
i’m glad to have had this great debate with you.
Hey, it’s Friday night! Let me start:
This was me about 25 years ago, LOL.
I decided to give y’all the line dance version 😉
Looking at the schedules for the Steelers and Texans
I think there is a shot the Steelers lose 7 of their next 9
And the Texans 6 of 9
Yes it’s wishful thinking
But if it happens and they finish 5-11 and 7-9 that will be great!
I see the Texans at 7-9 to 8-8, and the Steelers 7-9 or worse. That being said we should be getting 1st rd picks from them in the 10-17 range. So add that to our top pick wherever it is, top 5 at the least. You can add cornerstone players with that. Then the 2nd’s, 3rd thru 5th we’ll see, and multiple late picks. We might trade some to move around but still. Add that to FA and we have an entirely different team. We’ll have no clue who we are once again but it should be better and more fun. 😉
I would rather have 2 picks in the top 10 than the first overall pick
2 and 8 or something like that would be amazing
Well yeah but make the best of your picks. We are in a place where we add the BPA throughout. We’re not in a go for it mode. We’re in a make the overall roster better mode. We need to do what the Saints and 49ers did. Different tales but quick turn arounds in a couple of years with the right players.
This is badass. I’m a huge Paco de Lucía fan and this reminds me of him. RIP Paco!
The clean version!

interesting article
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-dolphins-threw-eight-players-into-a-blitz-were-they-trying-to-lose/?yptr=yahoo
the heats kendrick nunn is pretty damn good, good enough to replace dion waiters, also replaced goran dragic as the starting point guard.
another surprise is chris silva,
meyers leonard is the starting center, he’s been lighting it up from 3 point land, what a great trade, dumping whiteside’s salary and getting leonard in the portland trade, leonard seems to be way better than whiteside.
now add in jimmy butler, watch out eastern conference.
heat @ 4-1 play the rockets sunday night
They are a good young team
And they have lovable pieces is dragic, whiteside and waiters
There’s still talk about a Bradley Beal trade
I would be surprised if we didn’t see a big trade by the trade deadline
Beal re-upped with Washington, that deal is dead as far as i know
another guy who looks great is tyler herro, he can really shoot
So the Mets hire Carlos Beltran. I’m not for it or against it, I have no idea how that will work out. Time will tell. Hope it was the right choice. I loved him as a player, he was great.
Check that, I liked him as a player, never loved him. I sometimes felt his stats were better than what it seemed, but he was a great player.
Georgia V FLA is a good game to watch today for prospects
GA for QB and OL
FL for the LBs
SMU vs Memphis!
Power houses!
Espn has been trying to sell me that one all morning
Keep an eye out for Memphis RB Kenneth Gainwell (redshirt freshman) today. He lives up to his last name. He will be on the radars of many next year for the 2021 draft if he declares. The kid is so versatile. He played QB in HS, career numbers included: 8,412 total yards (rush/pass/return) and accounted for 108 TD’s. This season through 8 games, he has 137 rush for 979 yards for 7.1 ave with 11 TD’s and 34 rec for 440 yards for 12.9 ave with 3 TD’s.
Really good receiver so Memphis lines him up out wide like we did Drake a little. Here is the game highlight against 5-1 Tulane but he is in most of it.
If we possibly look for a TE in the later rounds to replace Nick O’Leary, keep an eye out for Memphis TE Joey Magnifico. He is a good blocking TE and would be like having a faster Nick O’Leary with better hands. Though, we are supposed to have that in Smythe all ready.
I wouldnt be surprised if we look for a TE in the early part of day 3
You can find good ones there

Chase Young sounds like a possible way to go, but he’d have to be a decade-type talent.
Sure must be a whole lot more fun to mock as the Phins right now than say the Texans…….. that’s a slate of talent. 🙂
(In Ken’s voice) No to Herbert. LOL
It’s got no tua, so it’s on the right path.
In my voice: Yes to Herbert

I’m not sure it’s from 1977- that looked like Bo Jackson, and even he’d have been a little small to play in ’77.
Try
I think that is Willie Brown with the Raiders, not Bo.
Ok- I swear it looked like Bo, though.
Haven’t been able to watch football yet today. Had to finish our discharge report for this week. I discharged $650,000 in liability today. Our insurance company will be happy. LOL

I like it!
Tua is still my #1
He might be.
I’ve seen Jacob Eason’s name come up before. He’s a big QB 6-6 230 range. Does he have a big arm and what’s his mobility like? I don’t mean as a runner so much but moving around the pocket, his ability to escape pressure.
He pretty raw but he has elite QB skills. He was the QB at UGA before Fromm unseated him. Definitely one to watch. I mentioned him a few times he’s one of the top guys on my list.
Yeah I read that about him. Sleeper?
Tim keep in mind these are highlights
Eason is a project
To what degree though? It’s not like winning the Super Bowl will be the goal next year. Maybe 2021 for Lawrence is the goal. But along the way keep looking at young QBs as you build the core team.
Eason is a project in the sense that any QB that has 1.something years of experience as a starter is a project. He probably is more likely to succeed though that most with that label. Haskins was a project in the same sense, several other first rounders have been too
We have Rosen in year three plays a FA next year we can take a high ceiling project to complete with our existing disadvantaged high curling project
And I am all about rebuilding with the best available talent
Eason is too long limb d to be a scrambler and is throwing motion is a little too big and windmilly for
My taste but he seems t see pretty well and moves around in the pocket ok
You drafted him with the 3rd 1st. LOL
^^^^^^yes that was me advocating keeping Rosen as QB1 in camp next year. Move along. 😬
I dont get how anyone writes off any of these QBs
I hear ya! Deshaun Watson went #12 in 2017. What you can’t win with him? I’d take him right now. He’s a gamer.
Continue to build up front. Wilkins and Deiter was a start last year. Build on it. We’ll have the cap space and draft picks to do it.
Go Phins!!!!
Correct….if we don’t build the OL and DL it won’t matter who the QB is or DB. We will continue to fail or at best reach the heights of mediocrity. Yay 8-8. And, the rebuild will be for naught.
I’m not usually a left coaster!
But this guy is climbing my draft board!
ITS GAME DAY BITCHES!!!!
Go Dolphins!

I know.
He has warts I listed some He has warts I listed some. I still think he is probably worth a first round pick when you look back to three years from now.
And like you pointed it out, was my third first round pick. I picked him down in that range where players like Dan Marino and Aaron Rodgers went.
The past few weeks my iPhone has been messing up on this site. 1233
Stills down, after being body slammed!
But dropped it anyway!
