It’s not just the addition of Jordan Howard, the physical type of back we haven’t had here for a while. It’s the commitment to being capable of running the ball. The offensive line has been revamped and in almost every case they are big strong run blockers. Oddly enough, the exception is our second 1st RD pick, LT Austin Jackson. It’s not that Jackson isn’t a good run blocker, he is, but he’s not a road grader. Robert Hunt and Solomon Kindley are. Ereck Flowers can be. It’s painful to look back at the depth chart early on last season after trading Laremy Tunsil. Jesse Davis at LT, Michael Deiter at LG, Dan Kilgore at C, Evan Boehm at RG and Isaiah Prince at RT. I don’t know for sure what the line will look like but my guess is it will be Jackson LT, Flowers LG, Karras C, Hunt or Davis at RG and the other at RT. Michael Deiter may give a fight for a guard spot but whoever wins this year will be locked in a tough battle.
Trading for Matt Breida puts the speed back into the depth chart at RB after trading away Kenyan Drake. Breida is a similar player, he’s a HR hitter with his speed and is a good receiver out of the backfield. Having Jordan Howard wearing down opposing defenses will make Brieda even more dangerous. I can almost guarantee you we will be a better team on the ground than last year. Of course that’s not saying much considering Ryan Fitzpatrick was our leading rusher with 243 yards. We’re going to be a much more physical team. Whoever is on the O-line is going to be a punishing run blocker. No finesse offense, that’s off the table. Just think of how much more successful our offense could be with a legitimate rushing attack. With more push from the line our backs, all of our backs will look better than their 2019 counterparts.
The only damper on my enthusiasm is the lack of OTA’s and practices which potentially 6 new starters in the run game including the RB will need. What a shame. The bright side is that opposing defenses will also be missing the time they need to jell so it works both ways. I’m thinking that by the end of the season we may actually have one of the better running attacks in football. Certainly by next season we will be even better. Well OK, to be fair, it’s not just the lack of practice and workouts, there’s the possibility there may not even be s 2020 season, although I think that’s a slim chance.
I still think Ryan Fitzpatrick will be running this team, at least early on. If he plays well, there’s no reason to change that. He’ll be glad to have Jordan Howard and Matt Breida, and Myles Gaskin and Patrick Laird will all look better, even Kalen Ballage should look better with better run blocking. I’m eager to see impose our will on opposing defenses, much like we did when Jay Ajayi was a threat to do that every game. He didn’t do it every game, but the fact that he had some dominant performances kept the defense honest, even if he wasn’t successful on the ground. We need that edge back, we need teams to respect our run game in order to be an overall better team. The best teams all can run the ball, we need to be one of them.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Oink and first
I posted a long response for you Rob on the prior blog. I’m not going to post it here so we can move on with other stuff
Good post Mike
If we play in 2020 I expect that we are a heavy run team
That should be a relief to fitz
Mike and Kong, totally agree on person to person or even on the phone as opposed to the written word. Written debates take so much more time and it’s difficult to put out fires along the way. We’ve seen that here many times.
What do you mean?
Everyone agrees with each other on this site?
Hey Tim
Did you know that there was a Monty Python making the rounds on social media bc some one trolled Fox News?
Huh?
If you have a twitter account just search Monty Python
Mike E,
Good article and I agree we should be a dominant running team by season end. It would have been nice to see our guys use the heat and extra training to start the year off running (terrible pun) but I also worry that the lack of practice and time to jell will slow us down early. We won’t be the only team with those issues but with a all new OL, it will hurt us more than teams like NO and the Bills though. There should be some really sloppy ball the first month. Hopefully the back to basics standards of Flores gives us an advantage.
Lets hope we stay away from these!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell ya guys, I am so ready for some football.
Fuck Yes Ape Man 👍🐕
🍻
Mike, no doubt Flores wants to be physical in all phases of the game. This offseason proves that. Edge guys like Lawson and Ogbah are not Von Miller type pass rushers, but they do upgrade our pass rush. They both can play physical and set the edge against the run game as well – they’re not one trick ponies. The OL and Front 7 has to be physical under Flores or his concept doesn’t work.
Howard who is a between the tackles physical runner was another example for sure. The same with players added in the secondary and on STs.
Isn’t it typical in the Dolphins time of a new era via rebuild with a new HC, the COVID strikes? It’s unbelievable!!! What did we do that was so wrong? LOL
Thought I’d drop by to talk some Dolphins football with y’all. Caught up with the last few days here. Bad time, I see. I’ll come back at a safer time.
Mike’s new article and my last post was all football, bro! Post about football.
It’s safe to post M13, it always has been. It’s just a bunch of people sharing their opinions. Sure, there are dust ups but so what? It happens everywhere where people don’t agree. What’s the worst that can happen? You shouldn’t worry so much what someone else is thinking. Everyone has the right to post their opinion here, as long as it doesn’t get personal, and even in that regard, we’ve given a shit ton of latitude and we’ve let people settle their own incidents.

Looks like everyone is trying to keep it light. Not looking for responses, just wanted to post this video.
I don’t even know what to say anymore about social issues. Two black men were hung from trees in CA. It doesn’t matter where this happened, WTF is going on?
Its just being reported, years ago more of this happened, but no one went national with it.
Watching the Chargers game. Rowe gets a penalty for lowering his head while making the tackle. The receiver lowered his head too, how the fuck is he supposed to make a tackle standing straight up?
I’m going down to the strip now, I want to protest, we need referee reform 🙂
If it’s really necessary we can agree to a politics embargo for like a week or something
But I don’t think it’s necessary
Nothing anyone has posted has caused me to swear off humanity….lol
I was looking for Fins at #7, there had to be some reason you posted this.
Nope…honestly glad that no one thinks much of us
Drake looking good, but I didn’t want to pay him, especially the 8.5M he’ll be making this year.
I was thinking sensationalism on the Lamar Jackson jumping over the jet ski. Nothing to see, move on.
Dolphins hype video, Tua really has a weenie arm. I hope his accuracy, timing, ball placement, quick release, progressions, and all the other intangibles he brings are enough to overcome it.
It is weenie…
I hope he becomes the second coming of noodle arm.
Tua doesn’t step into his throws enough. That will change in the NFL or he’ll be out of the league. He has plenty of arm strength though. His accuracy is elite. He makes great timing and corner throws. Can he hold up?
Unfortunately, this is the guy who’s been training Tua.
Holds not called because he played for NE, 656. lol
Because they teach holding as a grey area. They cheat mostly, just enough to be affective, but not too much that it’s called a lot. Everyone does it, but they hold better😉
good post mike,
one thing that wasn’t mentioned was chan gailey’s spread offense which spreads the D and opens up running lanes. that along with the beef up front.
so i agree we will be a good running team for sure.
Yes, run, run, then Warfield it to Parker and Williams.
Don’t forget about Wilson
The things I liked about Mekhi, I also see in Kindley, not the greatest technique pass blocking, but get in front of them and they’ll run your ass over.
Would be great, if the jets had to move Mekhi inside.

Good write-up Mike E. While think we have the makings of a good run game my time-line on it is a bit less this season than you. That’s a whole new line (gonna take time to gelll) and a lot of the draftees are real young and raw. Could see us get to average though, which would be a major improvement.
Like the desire , but the rehab specialist also didn’t say Tua was ready to go.
———————
“He’s a little bit ahead as far as where we would like him. We’re constantly trying to slow him down just a little bit because an athlete like that is just chomping at the bit just begging to get back out there. He wants to do more and more so we have to hold him back. And really, that was from the beginning. He always wanted to do more.”
Kevin Wilk, Tua’s rehab guy
Tua doesn’t step into his throws enough. That will change in the NFL or he’ll be out of the league.
———————————————————————–
I am not so sure Tim. Patrick Mahomes has possibly the worst footwork of all starting QB’s in the league. Something the Chief’s having him working on this off season. Mahomes is a perfect fit for their system/offense coupled with his athletic ability leads to his success. Depending how Tua fits this offense (should fit very well) and he stays healthy, he should eventually have the same kind of success. He will need to work on that though.
Mahomes gets away with poor footwork, because his arm is so strong. A luxury Tua doesn’t have, so using Mahomes as an example doesn’t change what Tim said.
Montana had a weak arm, but he was a system fit, even in the Candlestick wind. Tua should be brought along like Brady was, quick slants and short passes, timing routes.
https://sports.yahoo.com/dolphins-first-person-look-tua-061631508.html
I am not sure we brought in all this OL beef and Howard to ground and pound it. That is not really Gailey’s offense. Howard is considered an above average pass blocker in addition to being a pounder between the tackles. I have looked Gailey up to try and get an idea of what our offense will look like. Here is a bunch of cut and paste from articles I found:
– In his time with the Jets and Bills no team had a higher number of plays with 3 receivers or more and no team ran more plays with an empty backfield. (Think about our WR’s corps and what the Bills and Jets had back then. Not even close to what we have.)
– At its core, it’s a spread offense. There are a lot of 11, 10, 01, and 00 personnel, which means lots of receivers. As a side note, personnel groupings are defined by the number of running backs and tight ends. One RB and one TE is 11 personnel. One RB and no TEs are 10 personnel, and no RBs and 1 TE is 01 personnel. If you subtract the sum of those two numbers from five, that’s how many wide receivers are on the field (since there are eleven spots on the field, and six are taken by the offensive line and quarterback). That means a lot of receivers on the field on any given play. It’s actually somewhat rare for there to be less than three on any given play. It also means that ground and pound is dead. This is a pass-heavy offense, as Gailey been moving to more passing sets since 1995 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s a zone-based scheme (“ZBS”), and there isn’t much power running. There are very few two-back sets. As I mentioned, there’s almost always 11, 10, or 01 personnel. There’s always someone extra back there to help protect the quarterback, so you won’t see many sacks, but there’s little emphasis on a power run game.
– Gailey’s offense rarely just lines up and runs the ball straight up the gut. There are often motions to uncover what the defense is doing, and the offensive line is constantly moving. It requires athletes on the line, because along with the ZBS, there are a lot of pulling of the guards and moving pockets. Although there isn’t much in the way of play-action, it isn’t uncommon to see the quarterback on the move.
– In Kansas City, he ran a lot of pistol formations before it became popular to take advantage of Thigpen’s mobility. Gailey didn’t have much of an offensive line in Buffalo, so he ran an up tempo offense to have Fitzpatrick get the ball out quickly.
– The system is designed to stretch the field, particularly horizontally. Gailey has a tendency to use the outer edge of the field, outside the hashes, for his passing plays; there aren’t a ton over the middle. This is intended to stretch the defense out, make them cover boundary-to-boundary, and strain them to the breaking point. There are a lot of short passes to get guys in space and let them do their thing. But that’s ultimately what this offense is predicated on. There’s a lot of wide receivers on the field and the goal is to get them in space.
– What makes the offense interesting is that there really aren’t a whole lot of plays. What Gailey does instead is to change the formation and personnel, but running the same core concepts from each, to give you fifteen different looks of what is, at its most basic function, the same play.
Thought you guys might appreciate this. I’m selling my vintage Volvo, I have Dolphins floor mats in it. Didn’t think anything about it but you can see them in the pictures I posted. One of the guys who contacted me about it is from Boston, a Pats fan and he noticed and mentioned it. Strike! Not selling to him! 😂
Nice!
Im not in the market for a car, even as a collector item, but i would like to see the pictures, where did you post them, i might have people who are interested though, i can ask around and ill prioritize my dolphins fans over the others lol
Boost your price by 10k for him
One of these saved my life in 1984. Hit a huge oak tree head on going like 40 mph. Solid car.
I have a 2007 S60 original owner, as soon as I get the title straightened out I’m trading it in.
This one is a 1966 1800s. I’ll try to post pictures. I’m rusty at this. Lol
Steve, I think Tua has above average arm strength. Equal or greater arm strength than Fitz but not stronger than Rosen. Of the QB’s this past draft, Tua ranked 6th in arm strength and there were some guys with cannon’s (Herbert, Eason, etc.). I also don’t think Mahomes arm is all that stronger. Maybe it is but Mahomes makes so many off balance throws it just looks that way to me and it is hard to tell.
His arm is good. Nothing weak about it at all. His arm is better than all but one of the QB prospects this year. Its not on Mahomes level, but not many are. Relative to most QB’s in the league though, he is right there with the rest.He also generates most of his throws using arm, a lot of ones he threw on the run, so he has great arm strength and with a solid pocket and coaching, i think it might be better than most.
Of the top 5 he was bottom in arm strength.
Mahomes can throw it 80 yards, Tua about 55. For speed the top 2 were close to 60 Herbert and Love, Tua low 50s. I pointed his weenie arm out before the draft, way before any of these stats came out, based on his film.
It shouldn’t be a problem, because I think his intangibles are more important. Think of Pennington, with a stronger arm, and better intangibles.
Quick release more than makes up for his arm strength. His ability to move a D and his accuracy also mask arm strength.
He’s a QB, not a fastball pitcher. You want a fastball pitcher take Henne or Rosen.
You cant watch his videos and see weak arm, i dont know why this is blossoming up again, but it wasnt true before and its not true now.
So you really can’t see a difference in a pitcher that throws 100 and one that throws 85?
Tua’s throws are mostly touch passes, with big loops in them, but even when he puts it on a line, there’s not that much zip. His long passes clearly could use more zip.
Elway’s rookie year, he threw it so hard, he didn’t get many ints, because it was too hot to handle.
I hear a lot of different takes in Tua’s arm strength
Personally I never felt he had a weak arm when I watched his games.
In fact I thought he appeared to have a strong arm. But it’s never been his physical traits that made him elite at the college level – it’s usually things like decision making and accuracy
But it’s not like arm strength hasn’t been mentioned before as one of his weaknesses
Do you think Pats fans will notice these floor mats?
Whose car is that? Looks like the back bumper was signed by Wilkins.
It’s just a random pic online
I bet it’s a promotional car or something like that
Not sure where ya see Wilkins signature. I see dolphins scrawled on the bumper but don’t see Wilkins signature anywhere
SIs Chris Orr has a piece on every teams biggest weakness, but for the AFC we’re the only team, that has 2 listed. Pass rush and RB.
RB as Alain Poupart points out isn’t a weakness. When talking here about weaknesses, we focused on positions and not events, pass rush wasn’t something I considered, but I kind of agree, at least until we prove it wrong.
Alain says we didn’t bring in a big time pass rusher, so he agreed its a weakness, but the cheats never really had one guy with big numbers. I see us the same way, lots of guys will get sacks, but I don’t see anyone with 10+. Also you improve sacks numbers with coverage, scheme and by having a lead making your opponent more one dimensional. In years where we only had a few wins, we generally didn’t have ma y sacks.
A lot of the time rushing yards and sacks go hand in hand with winning, since you can pile them up late in games.
Of the top 5 he was bottom in arm strength. Yes, but Herbert, Eason and Love have huge cannon’s.
No Eason, Burrow. Even Burrow was higher.
Let’s see if this works.
It’s supposed to be 4 different photos. 🤷♀️
Just have to click on the image to see the others. That’s a sweet ride.
You even still have the original manual huh?
Yes, original manual.
And pending getting the transfer done, car is sold.
Herd,
That car is fantastic. Contrast to owning and now selling it.
Congrats I meant.
If anyone ever watched The Saint, the TV version of James Bond, this is the type of car Roger Moore was driving. Fun fact, it was actually his car, another car was supposed to be the Saint’s car, but there was an issue, rather than delay production they used Roger’s own car.
Good looking ride.
Might’ve been tempted to buy that myself.
Sorry, but I can’t take those grades seriously, when they have his release a 7. His release broken down by frame was faster than Marino’s.
This was supposed to be a response to your next post, the link.
Regarding Tua’s arm strength
https://247sports.com/Player/Tua-Tagovailoa-77451/
It’s crazy that something as straight forward as arm strength isn’t universally agreed on by player evaluators, both professional and ours on the board. Just goes to show how complicated this stuff can be.
I thought I read someone post on here the other day say that Tua has a quicker release than Marino, but the article you posted has him listed as a 7 in release, and no way Marino was only a 7, lol.
I don’t think his arm is weak at all. He throws the ball as hard as he needs to and seems to throw an easy ball to catch. J’Marcus Russell (sp?) could throw the ball out of the stadium, but couldn’t hit a stadium wall from inside. Doesn’t matter how hard you can throw the ball if it misses the receiver.
I agree with everything after the first sentence. I don’t think the strength of his arm is going to define his career though.
Herd – Don’t be offended, but this came to mind. Sweet looking ride. The car’s nice too. 😉
That is a sweet ride.
Meh…..
I’ve seen better….
This seems like a great piece of analysis. I haven’t looked into the guy that did it, or done any kind of credibility check, but his video analysis shows Tua having a slightly faster release than Marino, Rodgers, and Watson who are at the top of the list.
It also outlines arm strength and Tua being ‘below average’ of the top QBs he put on the list. I don’t think this is necessarily below league average though, just not elite.
View at Medium.com
I’ll take accuracy over arm strength all day long.
Yep, agreed. Give me accuracy and intangibles, as long as the guy has an NFL arm, it doesn’t have to be elite. And nobody is saying Tua doesn’t have an NFL arm.
This guy has Tua having arm strength nearly identical to Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones. I’ve never heard either of them called weak armed.
Well if we can get Daniel Jones arm strength with Deshaun Watson’s accuracy then Go Tua !!
I’ve never felt I was a particularly lucky dude, but I just clicked my TV onto “True Lies” just as Jamie Lee Curtis is doing her dance scene. God likes me today. 🙂
typing one handed again??? 😉
Wyoming,

Yeah, you’ve certainly given a shit ton of latitude, to be sure… but only to the admins… as demonstrated over the course of the last several days. As long as it doesn’t get personal? Are you kidding me/us? Is your memory so short as to not remember the way I was beaten, killed, dug up, reburied, and then pizzed on by a certain admin? … as long as it doesn’t get personal, right.
Nah, it’s certainly NOT safe for me to post here right now… and I only wanted to talk Dolphins football, just sayin’.
Respectfully, mf13ss, you say, “I only want to talk Dolphins football” and yet not one post you made today was about football.
Instead, you post personal grievances and claim to want to talk football.
Geez, loueez. Talk football and ignore everything else and I’m pretty certain what you bring to the table would be welcomed. Comments like today (all non-football related) just stir the pot. When or if you ever get that, is your choice.
C’mon man…only the admins get latitude!?! Shoot, Krishna and I have called each other names and done everything but challenge each other to a duel. Then we kiss and make up and start all over. And no one who doesn’t engage in the sideshow gets drug into it unwillingly. If all you want to do is talk football, then talk football. People will respond in kind. As Krishna says (in a long winded, never-get-to-the-point way>), stop being passive aggressive.
M13, luv ya man!!!
Nothing like putting 2 pork shoulders in the smoker at 3am. Trying to figure when it is ok to drink my first beer. I know what you guys are going to say. That doesn’t help me. lol
M – Whatever bud. I’m not getting dragged into past drama. You need some thicker skin man. Piggy’s been getting roasted for the last few days here and he hasn’t shut down or suspended one person. We all take hits here when we pose a strong opinion that goes against a few others. Either you dig that or you don’t. There’s no protection here, it’s just on you whether you want to deal it with it or not. If it’s not your deal, then stay away like you have been, all cool. It should be fun to come here, if you don’t get that out of it, then don’t.
Is that what BBM meant when he said he was roasting pork butts? Poor piggy…
BBM, if you start drinking now you won’t make to the end of the smoke. Coffee until 10:30 then start drinking. That’s how I’d play it.
This is what experience sounds like
BBM
I know you said the beer is in the smoker, but did you have to close the door behind me?
I’ve been in here since 3AM!
Wtf
Funny!
Cav – Regarding your article on release, etc. I think what set Marino above all QB is that while a Tua might be .02 seconds faster on release, Marino combined the release with decision making, arm strength, and accuracy. He was Love’s arm, Tua’s accuracy and release, and Burrow’s decision making all wrapped up in one body.
Tua moves DBs and can move in the pocket, that’s his trade off for Marino’s arm.
Bottom line is, he’s got more than enough traits to be a great NFL QB.
Fuck this, I love Aunt Jemima!!! IS Uncle Ben next? WTF is wrong with people?

Now, I’m confused….lol.
Supposed to be a response to pp. I am horrible with this texting.
No histrionics at all in that post. And it spot on (if beating around the bush), so no dip-shit either!
I don’t believe, have never seen, any QB, past or present have a quicker read, release, snap in throwing a football in the tightest windows imaginable.
I remember yelling in amazement many times, “How did he do that?”
That is Marino, of course!
LOL at piggy
Son, you present yourself with great grilling wisdom. However, I have had so much coffee my pits are sweaty. I already, weed wacked and mowed the back yard. Vacuumed the pool. Trimmed back my elephant ears and ginger plants, cleaned up the banana trees and did a little pruning on my cocktail trees. Maybe I need to put a little something extra in my coffee.
Go Irish and have a Guinness for breakfast.
Its a full breakfast thats for sure.
Just when I thought i had a beat on some positions like safety and WR, I read a Fansided article that changed things.
I thought Rowe was going to be a lock at SS, but now, even though I expect him to get lots of reps there, I think Kavon Frazier might get lots too. At least he’s more of a traditional SS.
It’s getting to the point where no one really has a position on D. 11 guys will be thrown out there and let the O figure out who is playing where. Mass confusion at its finest by design.
In some years past I thought the cheats level of talent wasn’t very good, yet they always seemed to get it done when they had to. I think it’s easy to see why they played great in stretches, when they did have the talent. We seem to be following those trends.
I have no clue what M13’s post was about. Did I miss something?
Something that happened yesterday i guess, maybe Monday, not sure.
Thanks glad I missed whatever it was
M is referring to a previous dust up with Piggy that was quite some time ago. Nothing happened yesterday and nothing is happening here that doesn’t usually happen here.
You didn’t miss anything
In fact, we might the stuck is some sort of paradoxical repeating of the same behavior over and over again

Fuck! What a bad signing, he hasn’t even been in the building yet and he’s aging on us🤔
With our luck, he will have 3 more birthdays before the nfl is ready to play and we will have to re-sign him
You guys remember Bacarri Rambo? Unfortunately when a Q like that comes up tends to not be for a good reason.
He’s been a graduate assistant coach with Georgia the last couple years. Now he is a Georgia graduate assistant coach charged with raping a Georgia student.
You can fix stupid!
I just costs you 15-25!!
LOL — He’s not convicted yet and sounds like he knew the student in some way……. but she still called the cops and they brought charges. So yeah stupid is involved.
Years or millions😉
steve — Rambo doesn’t have money. My guess is if he did you might not be hearing about this. How many times has a women after refused to cooperate with such?
It goes back to due process, and be careful what you wish for.
I was rooting for him to make it in the nfl
College stats are irrelevant enough, stats from the MW…
I think he’s going to come out of the gate hot
If there is a gate to come out of
The book on weaver was that he was very technically sound and physically underwhelming which is why he was available when we selected him
He might be closer to nfl ready than the average rookie
Why in some way am I hoping they will say gonna be a full recovery but gotta lay off contact for 4 months?
I want to see him play in preseason, and it might be good for him.
Fitz starting the year makes everything easier. We don’t have to worry about belicheat getting the best of him or worse.
We need to ease him in, no reason to rush things.

Who is going to dispute it?

Hmmmmm i just dont know, on this sample i smell a hit of lavender and notes of leather. This one just seems to be missing something…. nope we are going to have to do this over again. Gwynneth, get ready….
By the way I don’t think Tua has a weenie are. I’ve never heard any scout pundits call out his arm strength either. He just doesn’t have a cannon. But his drop back style is kind of unorthodox.
He has a cannon and has been called out by scouts for that
Meaning he doesn’t have an Elway/Favre type arm. But not many QBs do. He has plenty of arm strength for the next level and his vision, timing and accuracy is what makes him special
It may not be that but it’s not far from that
I bet he’s got a more powerful right arm. Another idiot dad, that thinks he knows best.
That might be why his drop back and set-up looks awkward even thought he’s been successful with it. It’s not totally natural.
I am happy to be entertaining
That was supposed to be in reply to Steve above
Gwyneth Paltrow is a very into herself. She’s lived a charmed life with her parents being in the Hollywood biz. She once said she can’t relate to the common person.
I would like to be into Gwyneth too
Aiight 2 for a quarter…
Seems I’ve heard that last line before from someone else.
Gwyneth is a skank.
Who?
Ken, I never questioned Tua’s arm strength. It looks plenty good to me. My concerns were his size, durability and did playing on a loaded team make him look better than he is. But as the draft drew closer and most pundits continued to say he’s the best QB in the draft sans the injury concerns I backed off on the rest. I also watched a lot of video on him before the draft and after we selected him. He makes pro throws. His timing and accuracy throwing corner of the end zone passes is very sharp. He also leads his receivers so they can run after the catch.
There’s one for the ladies too
A new cologne will be ‘Hobo Dick Cheese’! Would anything surprise you? Would anyone put it on them? LOL
Lol
No matter what you do, don’t by the generic knock off

What did I say??? I knew Uncle Ben was in trouble!! Cream of Wheat Chef is next, wait for it!!
What a crazy ass butthurt PC world we live in.
I thought of that too. So what is so bad about Uncle Ben? Do we erase all black folk representations? WTF is going on?
It is really pissing me off . I am soooo f’ing sick of this crap.
Guess can still get Apple Jacks.
Tim — but tell me he doesn’t have the munchies. 🙂
Guys…relax
Light an orgasm candle and relax…
This one is offensive to Mel Kiper
Gonna start a boycott campaign — way racist to us white folks.
That Little Debbie bitch has got to go!
Somehow or another both Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben have ties to slavery. Not sure I get the connection exactly and because I’m not black, I guess I can’t judge if it’s offensive or not. I think Count Chocula looks like a Florida Jew but his name isn’t Count Moishe so I’m not gonna worry about it.
Should Irish people ask that Lucky Charms are changed? Make the drop the Leprechaun? It’s more stereotypical than Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben if you ask me.

M – Whatever bud. I’m not getting dragged into past drama. You need some thicker skin man…
——————-
I’m cool with that, man. However, you need to rescind your “as long as it doesn’t get personal” company line. Frankly, it’s most dishonest at best, and you know it.
I’m not getting dragged into past drama, EITHER, see. And that is exactly why I don’t find it safe to post here at the moment. And once again, I’m barely seeing any football comments today.
I’ll come back once the coast is clear. Too much drama on this blog, Bro. I need a positive distraction/outlet from what is going on in this country, and I thought I might find it here so as talk FOOTBALL! I’m not dissin’ anybody here, I just can’t deal with the drama (who can???).
I hope you don’t find my words to be divisive, bud… I just can’t deal with the drama. Hopefully, the blog will get rejuvenated with football once camp is underway.
Stay safe, stay sane, and be well, ALL!
M – I let you guys go at it. I let Phelon and Krishna go at it. It all works itself out. If it’s not for you I respect that. No one needed to be disciplined. If you want me to retract the personal part I’ll do so gladly. We give a shit ton of leeway here. We’re all adults. Again, if it’s not your cup of tea, then I get it. I wish we had more sports to talk about but that shit is dried up. COVID-19 has destroyed sports at the moment, so all kinds of shit get discussed here now. There’s no more wrong here than there is on any other social media platform, and I’ll stand by that statement.
Phel, I agree with everything you wrote about Marino. I’m not putting Tua in Marino’s class as a QB just yet, lol. He has the next decade+ to try and earn that comparison.
That article was just a source to validate the assertion Tua has a slightly faster release than Marino and has an arm much closer to average than elite.
M13, post as you will. It’s not anymore complex than that.
I know some of you care about what others write, particularly when it comes to the Dolphins.. well, here’s a (mostly) positive article:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/five-most-underrated-nfl-teams-entering-2020-season/ar-BB15w9nz?li=BB15ms5q
Personally, I don’t give a shit what others say or write or think about the Dolphins. Like them or don’t, doesn’t matter to me. I mean, Pete Prisco has never written a “positive” article about the Dolphins, and I could give a crap less. I don’t think any less or any more about him because of this. These guys are in the business to make money, and controversy, etc. make clicks which make money. No different than Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow, Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann.. they say things to get attention so they can get paid. If Alex Jones or Joy Behar’s car broke down in front of my house, I wouldn’t invite either in for coffee.
Woop woop
Something positive
I keep seeing people pick the Bills to win the division
And that just makes me think the Dolphins have a shot to win it
As far as the Aunt Jemima/Uncle Ben/etc. conversation, my thought is, while everyone is hyper-sensitive and butthurt and whatever term you use to describe the social environment of today, just go ahead and rip the band-aid off. Let’s get all this shit out in the open, get rid of whatever, add whatever, and let’s move on. This tit-for-tat, petty, retribution crap is really tiresome, so let’s just do it all now and be done with it.
Good post Trypod
I actually do think aunt Jemima is a racist image x 10
But I didn’t want to bog down the blog with that stuff
It’s worth a read about the history of that image if people are up for it on your own
Yes Pig, it is inheritanly racist, particularly if you know the origins. I’m not into condoning it. I’m happy to see it go if it makes people feel more respected. It will not hurt me in the least.
Funny Try, I woke this morning and was thinking in the long run, it’s really not a big deal in the least. If people feel better because that stuff is changed, even if it’s just a symbol of change, then I’m fine with it.
The other conversation I had with my family is more disturbing to me. People who say things like “If you support Trump or even have friends or family that do I can’t be friends with you because he’s racist, because he repealed transgender healthcare etc etc.” If that’s the case, people will only be friends with totally like minded people and man that would be one boring ass existence. I know a lot of people that are either over the top left or over the top right. I can overlook those things in all of them and just take them for who they are. It’s just so pathetic to me the the way people behave these days, far too much sensitivity and a lack of tolerance.
I can’t speak to the personalities, but I dare say most of my blood relatives are definitely on one side of this argument, and probably half my friend group. I’d be real lonely if I cut everyone out of my group who do what I don’t think is right, and life would be boring. I just hate that everything is politicized right now.
Well, I had this discussion with my kids last night and was very disappointed to hear their view on this. They feel it’s fine for people to just cut people out of their lives if other people they know don’t agree with an important matter they disagree on. I swear I didn’t raise them this way, I don’t know where it comes from. If they are an accurate sample of society to come it’s going to be a very sad situation.
I don’t know why any company would keep branding with an image that is almost 150 yeas old. I also don’t know why anyone is bothered by an image that old.
I also don’t think the image was racist per se. It was representative of the culture of the time. By today’s standards, yes it is certainly insensitive. But racist? Not without intent.
Which one are you talking about? Aunt Jemima was updated 6 times. Call me crazy but that was a comforting image to me, a nice black woman on the front smiling. I never thought she was a slave, but she looked so friendly. Like I said a little bit ago, if people were offended by it and now they’re happy, all good with me. I’ll get over it when they slap some generic name on it w/o that friendly face.
Yep Aunt Jemima. Never thought about it either. But obviously there are those in today’s cancel culture that are two sensitive to laugh at the absurdity of what people found effective advertising.
Mike – My son is the same way. He is close to learning a hard life lesson about biting the hand that feeds you.
Any idea where this type of thinking originates from? Is it on some social media, or learned in school? I thought diversity is preached, yet this kind of thinking is probably just as bad as racism.
It’s the narrative they get from school and MSM. My son tells me the same stuff from some people at his school. No one can tell him anything, he either researches or figures it out on his own.
He’s more apolitical, hates both parties, but leans slightly right. He has some problems with capitalism and thinks we’ll need basic income in the future.
He talks about a new an improved govt. He’s always got ideas as to why things can be improved.
Our education system
Well Mike, I woke this morning thinking, we’ll know what kind of an arm Tua has week 1, if he starts it or whenever he faces the cheats. Belicheat will surely test him one way or another.
The main reason I say his arm is weak is, because his deep passes were often behind his receivers, especially 50+ yards downfield. He hits guys in stride at 45, then things get a little iffy further than that. It wasn’t a problem at Alabama, because those receivers were 10+ yards past defenders a lot.
Inside 45 he often threw early like Pennington, especially on outs. The biggest difference between Tua and Pennington is the scrambling ability, Tua can as Montana and Wilson did/do get out of harm’s way.
The Ravens are the other team that could expose him.
Other guys like Bridgewater could also move to make up for arm strength issues, but he doesn’t have the intangibles Tua has, so my Tua floor is much higher than Bridgewater’s.
I of course exaggerated Tua’s arm, by calling it a weenie arm, just to make the point it’s not a strength of his and he’s going to have to deal with it.
I think Tua’s passing ceiling is much higher than Wilson’s is, but I don’t think he’s as elusive, and that’s what makes Wilson great as it does for Jackson.
I’d be shocked, if Tua, other than because of injury, isn’t a franchise QB for 10+ years.
I don’t think Tua is starting week 1. That would be a huge surprise to me. I really do want to see what he can do for us though, but not that fast.
I’m in the same boat, was just pointing it out, because some say he’s starting week 1.
