Preston Williams did this twice yesterday, catching 2 TD passes from QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins finally put together a complete game as they held on at home to earn their first victory of the season. I’m sure Brian Flores enjoyed every second of it. The run game never got on track but that didn’t stop Fitzpatrick from using many different receivers to move the ball. It seems almost routine now that Fitzpatrick spreads the ball around and he hit 9 different Dolphins this past Sunday against the Jets. This was easily Fitzpatrick’s best effort as Dolphins QB. He finished the game completing 24 of 36 attempts for 288 yards and 3 TD’s and no interceptions. Pretty impressive, especially considering how woeful our run game was, 24 carries for 50 yards, so it was on Fitzpatrick to make things happen.
I know you all remember the scene last season where Adam Gase was sitting on the bench during a blowout loss all by his lonesome writing up plays on a clipboard or whiteboard. That same scene played itself out again on Sunday, except this time Gase was on the visiting sideline. Strange that it could occur so similarly twice. Gase has totally fallen out of favor (understandably) with Jets fans who are now calling for him to be fired. Not likely to happen as GM Joe Douglas was hand picked by none other than Gase himself, plus he has a 4 year contract the Jets would have to eat as well. He will most likely get another year with a draft that both he and Douglas engineer and then be judged by those results.
Mike Gesicki is improving and he had a big day against the AFC East rivals. Gesicki caught 6 passes for 95 yards and now has a respectable 21 receptions for 248 yards. One huge disappointment however is the fact that he still has no TD receptions. 6’5 250 and a huge wingspan and catch radius plus a 40″ vertical should have lead to at least a few TD’s, right?
The Dolphins defense had 3 sacks and also an INT for DB Jomal Wiltz. No, Charles Harris didn’t get one, it was rookie 1st RD pick Christian Wilkins notching his first sack. Nik Needham throttled Darnold on a delayed blitz where Darnold never saw Needham coming. Davon Godchaux also got his first sack of the season. The run defense was stout enough to contain Bell and Powell and keep that duo under 100 yards for a total of 81 yards.
It was great day in all, any time you beat the Jets, especially a Jets team with Adam Gase at the helm. Keep in mind Gase defeated the Jets twice last year as Dolphins HC but now lost to his former (depleted) squad. That’s gotta hurt! The Dolphins are now one of 3 teams that are 1-7, while the Redskins are 1-8 and the team that is at the bottom of the barrel but the top of the tank is now the Cincinnati Bengals who are 0-8. Odds are we won’t be the first pick, and you know what, that’s just fine with me!
GO DOLPHINS!!

I love that Coach Flores got a Gatorade bath
I love that the patsies got bitch slapped last night
Greenberg is an idiot shill for NY teams. Why anyone would give any credence to anything he says I don’t understand.

Here ya go Tankers
Good job to find and post an article supporting your view and mine by an unrelated third party.
Pre Season, a lot of you guys said goals for the season are to just show progress, show improvement over time, find some guys to form a core to build on, and find out if Rosen is the man.
We are making progress, we are improving (meaning our coaches can coach), and we are finding some players to build with. i am still not sure if we have decided Rosen is not the man. Maybe he is our “best backup in the league guy” our Earl Morrall as needed for our SB run with whoever turns out to be our Franchise QB, drafted in either 2020 or 2021.
So i’m not happy about the way we lost to Washington at all. But otherwise, the season’s been ok, because losing at home to the jests is anathema.
https://twitter.com/theflyingpig44/status/1191355202475110401?s=21
Naples – I have no idea what we’ve found out about Rosen other than Fitzpatrick is better prepared. After the first 2 games Fitzpatrick played, I didn’t believe that was the case, and to be fair, Flores didn’t give Rosen a very long leash, he pulled the plug on us at the Redskins game and that was that. I hope they know what they’re doing. I think we may see Rosen again near the end of the season, maybe the last 2 or 3 games.
Oh, and I do agree we’re seeing improvement and that is definitely what I wanted to see.
Mike E
I personally have not given up on Rosen as our starter going forward.
To me he still has not been given a fair eval with quality OL and a full complement of skills players.
Gesicki is a yr 2 TE just waking up, Preston is an UDFA, RB has 2 2nd yr guys and 2 rooks, WR has a semi bust and 2 smurfs to go with UDFAs and whatever Hurns is.
I think Aaron Rodgers would have trouble with that corps, if his HC, OC, and OL coach were also all first yr guys, oh wait, anyone see the Packers bomb yesterday?
What I have liked that our “no talent” team is we have been showing progress. Out O line which started out with a lower level of talent and then got banged up and banged up again have been playing pretty well.
What I liked about the Pats game was the Ravens ran it down their throat. That Ravens OL was run blocking like a mofo last night.
The Sack gets a 9.5!
The celebration gets a 3! C’mon MAN! 😉
Cut ’em some slack. It’s not like we’ve had a ton of opportunity to show off our celebrations this year. These things take practice, lol.
This almost got lost in the euphoria!
Fitz is a funny guy! 🙂
Not that am for it but Colts are the team that can stop the Texans from making the playoffs…… so if there was ever a game you might not mind losing.
Lol @ Rob. Hopefully that particular version of the zero blitz gets relegated to the trash pile never to be seen again.
In response to post on the last blog.
Or in response to comment on the last post, lol.
Browns cut safety Whitehead after this.
https://sports.yahoo.com/browns-condemn-jermaine-whitehead-twitter-rant-containing-death-threat-racist-language-040542210.html
Browns meltdown looking to be on schedule.
PC world!
He was in a Browns uniform tweeting racist death threats from the locker room to a reporter who said his tackling sucked. There is PC, there is stupid PC, then there is just plain stupid.
Well he was threatening people and using racial slurs in n response to criticism about his play
He was also suspended from Twitter
I would have cut him too
If a guys not performing and then attacks other people who point it out to him, it’s an easy decision
The “Bust” getting some credit today! 😉
We still play the Browns (2 wins), Jets (1 win), Giants (2 wins) and Bungles (no wins). Think we should all just get over thinking about the first pick right now. Chance we don’t even hit top 5.
Well if that happens, then I want everyone to keep hyping Tua as the best overall, #1 pick.
Fag
You’ll get in trouble for that! 😉
LOL
Year Three
He looks like a detective from a goofy 70’s movie. LOL
A lot of reason to be hopeful moving forward into next year. Flores preaches being tough and disciplined and so far he’s walking the walk (unlike so many coaches we’ve seen before him).
After each hit
Damn!
We even got a Q&A on MMQB!
Let the conspiracy theories loose!
Perhaps the rapture?
That would be an interesting fest!
LOL – – you can do the planning for that one.
Guess that is the price of hosting the SuperBowl. And man does that help the local economy.
Do you want?
Pint & fish and chips

PS don’t google that at work! 😉
Don’t think they’ll have the game in Tijuana:)
Mexico city!
So how goes it today? I had the strangest dream last night. For a minute I thought the Dolphins one yesterday. Weird huh?
**WON damnit
ROFLMAO!!!!
There has been a shift toward the light side of the force! Aahhhhhhh!
Look at Jesse getting some love!

#Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was the highest-graded offensive player in the Week 9 win vs the Jets (86.0 overall)
31 of Fitzpatrick’s 36 pass attempts came from a clean pocket – in those plays he was 21-31 for 239 yards and 2 touchdowns (91.3 passing grade)💪🏻

GOOD JOB O Linemen!
yeah, Wy I don’t think that is on the menu at Taco del Grande LOL

WY I thought it meant Spectacular Burrito LOL
I guess it could mean that? 😉
“Bust”!
Are there 3 Allen QB’s now?
I guess so
Kyle Allen CAR
Brandon Allen DEN
Josh Allen BUF
And they all won yesterday!
Interesting for the Stat guys!
Gase is being destroyed by the NY media. I knew it was coming but after yesterday you knew it would be really bad and it is.
One doesn’t control destiny, destiny controls you
When Chuck Noriss jumps in the water, he doesn’t get wet, the water gets Chuck Norris’d.
Just reading how the Fins just blew their season by winning. Fuck the media
🖕
#staythecourse
No matter what we do, it’s wrong. If we lose we’re tanking and if we win we ruined the tank. They can’t have it both ways
Exactly!
I hope we go 9-7
Writers gotta write and figure out what will get clicks. Guessing the same tank folks are all over the Bengals right now.
I think they pulled the plug on Rosen as the starter when the OL was so porous that he wasnt learning anything but to scramble for his life. There was no reason to keep a guy out there that you are trying to develop when there was no way to do that. Fitz doesnt need development and he knows how to handle situations like that better. I think it was a matter of that more so that they didnt like what they saw from Rosen and put Fitz back in and gave up on Rosen.
With the sample we have so far…. no doubt in my mind that Fitz is better behind a bad O-line. But guess this year we won’t be able to figure out who is better behind a good one.
I agree and wrote basically the same thing a couple of weeks ago.
If Greenbag thinks the Fins are tanking, what does that say about his jets?
I think the Bengals are the worst example. Look at that team, its a lot better than either us or the Jets and its just bad.
When you pull your starter like that it’s a red flag.

Interesting for the Stat guys!
Check out how the catchable ball accuracy data is shaping up through 10 weeks. Burrow and Tua are destroying the field of the 2020 guys. The class as a whole takes care of the ball uncommonly well. Colors are quartiles (of 23) vs my database. Order is green, yellow, orange, red pic.twitter.com/gICiXssiA9
— Ian Wharton (@NFLFilmStudy) November 4, 2019
——————————————
Burrow is my top guy, i like Tua, i think he has a great bit of gamer in him, and he is very mobile, slippery, etc, BUT i think Burrow is the best overall fit for us. Ehlinger i like a lot too. Eason is a guy id take in the 2nd or later and develop. If right now the draft has 2 top 10 QB’s and they are Herbert and Tua, id be completely ok with us selecting a guy outside the top 10 taking a guy like Burrow or Ehlinger in the mid-late first or Eason or Love in the second. Fromm would be another guy to consider in the first, and i think he could run the offense we are trying to do, but imjust not a fan of his because i dont see a lot of big play ability.
MF!!!!!!
I dont even remember him getting hurt.
He went down with a knee injury late in the game
Wonder if they bring Ford back.
He caught a pass along the sidelines, about the 10 and was out a few plays. Being out for the year means you’ve been marked as a star, and have been put on the shelf, too valuable to continue playing for current team.
That sucks. But least we know we have a keeper. Sounds like Parker gets to show off for his next contract.
Oh that sucks!!! Dammit!!!
Damn!!
I just read that Williams is out. That really sucks!
Apparently Crawford is also on IR?
Hadn’t sen that yet!
don’t we have someone from Walmart U that can cover?
Nevermind was a different Crawford from the guy we just picked up.
James Crawford, who went on IR earlier this year.

————————————————–
Oh yeah now i remember. Damn. I didnt think it was too serious, though he did look like he was in pain on that play.
Also on top of what ya said, it gives us a chance to eval more people in game situations.
I think we have enough Jags at WR, we need a stud.
We won our 1 game, no reason to win any more. I wonder how the tie breaker with Cin. plays out.
Is it a coin flip?
We play them dont we?
Yes
Then i assume head to head. We lose to them and both end up with one win, we should get first spot due to head to head matchup.
guess it also depends how many people wind up witht he same record.
The reports are that Williams suffered a significant knee injury. It doesn’t sound like they’re just shutting him down but he’ll need surgery and rehab.
It was an ACL.
Just our luck. Instead of continuing to develop him in a throw away season, his progress gets derailed.
Head to head doesn’t matter in draft spot. I think strength of schedule is the next determining factor after record.
not sure if the Bengals play a tougher schedule than us or not.
We play the Giants, Redskins, and Jets who all really really suck. That’s a good thing. We almost certainly play a weaker schedule than the Bengals which would give us the advantage in seeking the overall #1…as long as we lose to them, but I’m not sure that is going to happen.
Ok looks like you are right, though if SoS winds up being a tie there are additional rules. We would win SoS right now because they played the tougher teams in the NFC which is offsetting us playing againt the Pats, but by the end of the year with us playing the Pats and Bills a second time, who knows how close it might be
As of right now the W/L of our opponents is 34/31 and theirs is 43/23. The rest of our season is against teams that are currently 29/37 and their remining opponents are currently 28/37 so its going to be close lol.
Cav — Bengals have zero wins and we are one of 4 teams with one. 3 other teams have two unless the Giants win tonight.
We’ll get a nice pick, but why not leave it at that?
Its just statements of fact not preference. We were discussing the formula not so much that we think we should tank the season to make sure we get it.
And I was just giving my take on the situation. No tank involved.
“We’ll get a nice pick, but why not leave it at that?”
Because people on the board are talking about the possibilities of where we end up in the draft. Is that weird?
Do you want to talk about Real Housewives of Wherever instead? lol
Didn’t say was weird at all. Just hoping people don’t get their expectations up and anything in the top 6 is pretty darn good.
I’d much rather win a few than get the number one overall, but I don’t think the people that are thinking the other way are wrong. I get the thinking that if you’re going to suck, get the most out of it. I figure we’ll likely end up around 3 or 4.
On Real Housewives of Atlanta last night, apparently Kenya relished her new role as mother to daughter Brooklyn; Porsha’s relationship with Dennis hit a rough patch; and a guest showed up at Kandi’s restaurant to reveal shocking news about Dennis; Cynthia is obsessed about getting engaged.
😲
do you need a netflix login? LOL
Is that crap on Netflix? My portal is smart enough not to present those options to me, lol.
That is TMI!!!!
Just trying to give Stang something else to talk about, lol.
Grrrrrrrrrrr when I get my hopes up.
I hate the Jets, so any season without at least those 2 wins is a complete failure regardless of draft positioning!!! LOL
Omar is being a real jerk today towards fans.
His way of feeling better than someone. Looking in the mirror surely doesnt get him that feeling.
I get the idea of not wanting to win just enough to fuck up the draft, but i have a hard time not wanting to win any game. Im competative and by nature im just not in it to lay up. Still i also dont feel like those that feel like this is a rebuild and we might as well set our self up with the best options for rebuild are wrong either. Still this season needs to be about accepting it for what it is, win or lose. We have ammunition to move around the draft if we need to, we have ammunition to puck up FA’s if we need to. It will work out like its going to, putting your own expectations on it only serves to frustrate.
When the season is over we’ll know where we stand and like you said it will be what it is. No point fretting over it.
for me it is more like pulling off a bandaid I would rather we suck terribly one year than continue to gasp out shit season after shit season.
Surely understand that, and we have gone through a whole bunch of it, but i think we will be ok doesn’t matter how it ends up. I doubt we are complaining by the time the draft is over next year. We might (as we always do) see better ways it could have been done but i dont think that by end of FA and draft we wont be happy with the additions to the team.
Also keep in mind not everything has to be fixed this year, and thats why we have a bunch of picks lined up for next year too, so just gotta be patient.
Maybe this will make OD feel better?
Im thinking probably not lol.
Im thinking the only real happiness OD would find is he got stuck in a Groundhog day type scenario eliving the 1972 SB victory over and over and over again.
He’s got one less game to pay for to boot!
Hell he might be able to afford the recliner section?
OD is a pretty cool cat. He had seasons in the Orange Bowl and still do es after the rest of his crew gave them up. But yeah he has some strong opinions. Hope you come down our way and get to meet him some day.
He’s earned his right to them, i dont disparage that, even though a lot of time i wish they weren’t so negative. I like people who openly express their opinions even if i dont agree with them id rather see a person stand up for his beliefs than change them to fit the conversation. Im sure we would get along fine if we were to meet.
What the ever loving fuck is going on??????
Tank
I love it when a plan comes together….
Oh man that sucks! WTF?!!!
LOL, the football Gods are throwing us some love.
That’s our #1 RB. Doesn’t he have some priors that might enhance the penalty or do the separate those out?
I think that is a second offense penalty. PED is 4 games to start, i think they go 2, then 4 with the illegal stuff.
Ok so i guess now we get to see what Gaskins has.
Or maybe Laird, who looked great in preseason, can get at least one damned RS snap now.
FYI it’s Gaskin no s. 😉
I like it better with the s
I was kind of hoping we woulda claimed Donte Moncrief off waivers but looks like Carolina beat us to him.
That fucking kick that hit the upright with the bears has seriously damaged Parkey’s confidence. He cant stay on a team. Just got cut by Titans now.
Ballgag, Laird and Gaskins. we dont even have a guy on the PS to bring up. Oh wait we do have the Cox we could insert into the lineup……
I’d cut Walton immediately. He was getting his chance to turn it around. He blew it. See ya
Funny how one smart person (you) and one knucklehead (me) can see it differently. His troubles before were on different stuff, even if getting caught on this shows lack of judgment again. I ‘d keep him around…. even i f might take a RB in the draft.
Think you have us reversed. 🙂
I just saw this is from his previous troubles. I thought this was something new that popped up.
So I now officially change my mind! LOL
So the NFL decided now’s the time to suspend Walton which isn’t something new but from the past? That’s a shitty process.
Agreed…
The Miami media harped on the tanking narrative so much since the offseason that now every NFL outlet is repeating it while also saying we didn’t even try to win yesterday so that’s how bad the Jets are. I mean did anyone watch the fuckin game? I am so rooting for win #2.
There is also a story out there where Tua said if he’s not completely healthy at the end of the season he might stay in school another year. Don’t rebuild your team based on one unknown prospect. Let it play out and act accordingly.
Again, agreed. Play the cards your dealt and play your fucking heart out…to win.
Exactly! Winning is an important part of creating a new culture. Some pundits in NFL circles get what a tear it down rebuild approach is all about. Others do not and just repeat the same thing. The color commentator in yesterday’s game understood it.
Yesterday one of the studio guys said during the game broadcast (paraphrasing) “well clearly the Dolphins put the tank on hold because they wanted to beat Gase”.
If you have a huge organizational drive to purposely tank games which will be dificult to implement, piss off fans, and cost the team a lot of money, and everyone is on board, you don’t ‘put it on hold’ to beat your former coach, smmfh.
Nearly every person on this board has more insight and intelligence talking football, especially Dolphins football, than 90% of the talking heads ever will.
+f
The dumb thing about that is there aren’t many players left on the team from last year and Flores and his staff don’t care about beating Gase other than winning a game against an opponent especially a division rival.
Just glad Pats lost
Gt there ass pounded!
not just lost! 😉
They played a good team and got smacked around. Now we just need the 49ers to lose. 😉
No we need the Bengals to win
Two different subjects. But I’m not rooting for draft positioning so I don’t pay attention to what other teams are doing. Also who’s the last #1 QB overall to win a Super Bowl?
We all know it’s not an exact science.
Niners still have two against the Seahawks, one at home against the Packers, as well as games on the road against the Saints and the Ravens, so I think we should be good.
Bengals on the other hand….
The last #1 overall QB to win a SB was Peyton Manning in 2016
Or you could consider Carson Wentz 2 years ago even though he was injured at the time he was a big part of the Eagles season
Kong, I’m not concerned with the franchise QB in 2020 if not available. Build a good team anyway. What if we end up with our franchise QB 2-3 years from now. It doesn’t mean we can’t be a fun, competitive team along the way.
We can’t look at this QB class and specifically Tua as this once in a lifetime thing. It’s not true unless you think only the team Tua is on will win the SB every year from that point on. Lots of the great QBs in the league now are going to be out of the league in the next few years. Father time comes for everyone. There are going to be lots of quality QBs who enter the draft in the next few years. It would also be great to add one when we’re a pretty damn good team. There isn’t only one way to do this.
I gonna be honest!
As much as I prepared myself! As much as I understand the re-tooling process!
As much as all of that makes sense!
There’s nothing like Victory MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
AMEN, KEN, AMEN!!!!
I HAD YET ANOTHER test this morning just to make sure my lymph nodes (what’s left of them) are not hiding anymore cancer. Then my wife made me ANOTHER APPOINTMENT to upgrade my hearing aids. THEN I’m having TWO CROWNS replaced at the dentist on Friday. Then I see my surgeon for a follow-up on Monday. PLUSSS—I get to take Mrs. OD to more appointments b/c she still is unable to drive!
HAD TO WORK part of the day Sunday to catch up with my work load, which while me and Mrs. OD have been sick, has risen to a much higher level. Believe me, BOREDOM is not even close to being an issue to me!! Just thankful I’m still able to DO MY WORK!!!
Got to see nearly all of the Jets-Fins game!! C’mon, all U guys who thought (or HOPED) that GASE would be Ross’s FIRST successful coaching hire – – – aren’t U NOW VERY GLAD WE KICKED HIS ASS!!!!!!! Tim, I remember some very favorable comments you made about GARSE soon after he became Miami’s HC. Well, now that he MAY be fired after this season or next season, I’d like to know if Ross should again hire this bum if and when FLORES gets the boot??? OR would JOE PHILBIN be a better choice???
ANY DAY both the Jets and the Cheats LOSE is a TRULY GREAT DAY, INDEED. It’s too bad Preston William’s injury put a damper on the celebrations. I feel for the guy.
OK, we ship out Drake and, after 3 days of practice, he has well over 150 yards rushing and receiving for ARIZONA!!! His chosen replacement gets SUSPENDED for 4 games!!! – – Way to go, Grier, Flores and company!!! Oh, and lets NOT mention Minkah getting 3 picks his first 2 games in Pittsburgh, including a record 96 yard PICK-SIX!!! Guys are shipped-out, have career days with their new teams, and we’re left with draft picks that will be used by proven failures like Grier!!
—————-
AND NO, I DO NOT want replays of “Ground Hog Day” featuring reruns of the Perfect Season. But replays of any one of our PLAYOFF VICTORIES under the leadership of previous owners would be a good start. Unfortunately, that will NEVER HAPPEN as long as Steve Ross and his “DOOFUS BRIGADE” are calling the shots. AND I SURE HOPE I’M WRONG!!!
—————
FINALLY, ponder this. The Cleveland Browns, who went through 1-15 and 0-16 consecutive seasons while “Blowing Up the Roster,” are NOW, again, “IN THE HUNT” for a VERY high draft pick in Round 1 of the upcoming draft, with JUST 2 WINS going into the 2nd week end of NOVEMBER!! ALL THOSE HIGH DRAFT CHOICES and ALL THOSE FREE AGENT SIGNINGS have, so far, gotten them NOTHING. WHY!!! Because they’ve got the WRONG PEOPLE DOIN’ THE PICKIN’!!!
Will the CLEVELAND FIASCO be repeated in Miami over the next 2 seasons?? I’d rate the chances at 50-50 if Ross, Grier and Flores are still in their current positions. WE, TOO, LIKE CLEVELAND have the WRONG PEOPLE DOIN’ THE PICKIN. That said, even a blind squirrel
finds an occasional nut. So we COULD get very lucky in the draft. LUCK IS OUR BEST SHOT AT SUCCESS!!
Best wishes to you and Mrs OD for good health
THANKS, Ken. And good health to you and Hulk.
9-7, Wildcard to Super Bowl Champs.
The Steelers?? You may be right.
Nah, I’m a Miami fan.
KEN, Wasn’t Eli Manning taken in the first round?? Yes, he wasn’t the first overall pick. But SEVERAL Super Bowl QB’s have been picked in round 1. The bigger question for me is “Will we pick the best available O-Lineman with our 3rd pick in round 1??” Lousy O-Lines lead to beat-up quarterbacks.
But he wasn’t the last #1 overall to win
The last two were Peyton and Eli. Elway in 98 before them. We’re talking #1 overall, not just 1st round. That’s 5 in the last 20 years between 3 QBs. It’s not a lock.
ER
I don’t think the suspension of Walton is based on new conduct
He was arrested 3 times before we signed him
I think it’s just the nfls ruling now
I think the organization new it was coming
So no reason to cut him, it as expect3d
Yeah. I corrected myself. I have officially rescinded my stance!
LOL
OD
I think most of us would like to see the Dolphins focus on the OL this offseason
I think there is a chance we have 4 new OL by the time day 2 is done in the draft
But that includes 2 free agents
OD I wish you and Mrs OD the best!

Tim,
I know where you stand on the 2020 QB hunt, bro. I feel the same way. The Bengals part of my post was in response to Ken. Cheers 🙂
People will think it’s to pass on a QB
But we have 2 first toe under sin 2021 to move up
And if some of the prospects this year stay in school (and I have my eye on Eason and Love) to join Trevor Lawrence the 2021 class might be very good
And we can work on on OL and pass rush with those early picks this year
Will be interesting to see who comes out and who stays in school
Technically Tua can stay in school
Wentz was the second overall pick behind Goff. Goff took his team to last years Super Bowl.
Eli was drafted number 1 overall by San Diego then traded to the Giants after the Giants drafted Rivers.
No way coach said that it had to have been prepared for him there isn’t a single umm in it
The past means nothing. We all know we gutted the roster to completely start over. I like what I’ve seen the last few weeks. Young players fighting for jobs. This current Dolphins team has the least amount of penalties for the least amount of yards in the NFL. Discipline is being established already.

OD, what is your problem? Can anyone ever change their mind? Gase is coaching himself out of the league. Okay…, now what? The blow it up is not easy is it? You love to hold people to what they say but you’re never wrong. It’s not becoming.
From what WY wrote earlier and your response….I know why I never bother to read it……
Broken frickin record.
Some people gain wisdom as they age and continue to learn and grow. Others become certain that what they think is all there is to know. The first become wisemen and teachers, the latter become ideologues and blowhards.
I see the hypocrisy of the NFL, they bitch about tanking, then they wait until Walton is actually playing to suspend him.
I believe we are #4 right now if draft were today. Yet we get all the shit still…..
Cant wait for Flores and Grier to build this monster!
I don’t think I’ve seen them bitch? Maybe I’m wrong but it’s been mostly talking heads at ESPN etc with agendas. I know the comp comittee may explore it but they are mandated if owners ask them to and why wouldn’t certain owners ask? The timing of the Walton suspension is very weird but our record won’t depend on a RB.
Of course not. But we lose developmental time. Why now?
I think this is the best opportunity we will have for an elite QB. We have a massive number of draft picks, lots of money for FA, at least one top 10 pick, and a very, very good QB group if they come out. I can’t imagine most staying. That gives teams even more time to study their tendencies and their team’s. It’s also a higher chance of injury. Tua, Burrow, and Herbert are legit 1st rounders. They will all be top 10 picks and we need to take one of those 3. I’m not impressed by anything I;ve seen from the rest of the field. Fields and Lawrence look great but we have far fewer picks, less resources and will probably be far better in 2020 I see Cincy taking Tua at #1. I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade down from #3 to #6 and get our guy.
The Walton suspension was going to happen the minute he was signed
I don’t think the team was blindsided by it
That seems to be the case but why now?
Ok. Fins have the #3 pick as of now.
I hope they end up closer to 10.
That’s right. I don’t give a shit about having to have the #1. Let’s let Cleveland get it again. Who cares..
GO FINS
FTW
Where this team is at, BPA at every pick. FA target what makes sense. Upgrade the roster.
i think laird and gaskins may get some opportunities due to waltons suspension. love to see how laird will fare in real game action.
The league is doing us a favor by suspending Walton. He wont be missed from the lineup.
Only 24 weeks until the 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas
In 1 weekend we lost our most productive WR and RB. That’s a little overblown, but true. It certainly doesn’t help our team any. We were already a depleted roster, now it’s worse. Good thing is we know we have a legit WR for next season in Williams and I suspect we will pick up the option for DeVante Parker as well. No urgent need to draft a WR early.
BTW – Christian Wilkins looks a lot thicker (read heavier) than I remember him looking early on in the season. Is it my imagination?
Maybe he “Busted” out the buffet?
Sure looks like it to me. What do you think? Does he look a lot heavier to you?

In camp he was talking about his “summer body” and how he was going to keep it year round because he lives so close to the beach now (Florida) I think he has slipped a little on the Summer Body. LOL
He was listed as 315 at the combine and the Dolphin’s roster page still lists him as 315……I am guessing is has gained some.
I don’t see it, Wilkins looks the same to me. Typically players lose weight during the season.
ESPN has raised us to #29 in the power rankings after beating the Yets. WoooooHoooo! (just kidding about the wooohooo)
