Ah, how nice is it to ponder our team in Week #9 of an NFL season and not only be in contention for a playoff spot and the division crown, but to do so with a top rated defense and a promising young QB? C’mon, think about that and let it sink in. Forget about Tua throwing for only 102 yards, but think about this defense just 7 games into rebuild YEAR ONE and our defense, yes, the Miami Dolphins defense has given up the least points per game at 18.6 PPG. Incredible! I know some of you are worried about Tua but let it go man. NO matter who we drafted at QB you’d be feeling and thinking we made a mistake. If we took Herbert (who is playing well and looks good) you’d be thinking we screwed up. If we traded up and got Joe Burrow we’d be saying we mortgaged the future and gave up too much. If we waited to select Jordan Love we’d be saying we half-assed and should have gone all in on one of the upper echelon QB’s. Forget about that, we have Tua, and he’s got the talent to be great for us. Let it happen, and enjoy it!
Speaking of that defense, oh that defense. What a clinic they put on against the 5-2 LA Rams. Maybe Garoppolo wasn’t 100% but Goff was and that’s twice within a few weeks that we have flummoxed two NFC QB’s. Goff was pressured and harassed and hit all day long. Dolphins D forced 4 turnovers in all, 2 INT’s and 2 forced fumbles and recoveries, one for a TD on the strip sack of Goff by DE Emmanuel Ogbah (pictured above) and the TD return by LB Andrew Van Ginkel (also pictured above). Opportunistic they were, but there are some concerns. The Rams ran 90 offensive plays and had the ball for 36 and half minutes. 61 pass attempts and and 39 rush attempts. I comprehend that the score is all that matters at the end of the day, but I think we all understand this can’t happen week after week. The guys were exhausted, I saw several Dolphins barely able to get back to the LOS and get set in the 4th quarter, so this can’t continue. We need to get off the field sometimes, and the run defense is a concern. Teams look at film and find weaknesses and if the score is close enough, they will try and exploit our weak rushing defense.
The Arizona Cardinals are also 5-2, like the Rams were last week. They are coming off their BYE week and will be well rested and ready to go. We may catch a bit of a break because it appears as if Kenyan Drake may miss thye game which leaves the rushing in the capable hands of Chase Edmonds. The problem is, #29 doesn’t scare me as much as #1 on the opposing team does. We had tons of trouble with Cam Newton and the RPO but to be fair, that was game #1. This defense has come a long way since then. Still, Kyler Murray is a dangerous man when he’s running with the football, and in my opinion, much like Cam Newton, he scares me more running than passing. We have to be disciplined and we have to play better against that type of attack. We guessed wrong too often with Cam and the RPO, I hope we can do better with Murray. I’m also worried about sending too much pressure and having him find a hole to run upfield so we have to be cognizant of that as well. Oh yeah, and the Cards have DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella. The Cards are top 10 in points scored (8th at 29 PPG) and in points allowed (9th at 20.9) and have a +57 point differential. The Dolphins are 11th in PPG at 26.9PPG and as previously mentioned, #1 in points allowed (I like saying that!) at 18.6PPG, with a +58 point differential. Good news for Miami, rookie LT Austin Jackson has returned to practice. In his stead, veteran Jesse Davis has performed admirably.
The Dolphins offense will be somewhat of a mess due to the fact that their leading rusher Myles Gaskin is OUT and 3 week IR and it looks likely that backup Matt Breida (hamstring) may also be out or limited. That leaves only Jordan Howard (break in case of emergency), Patrick Laird and Savon Ahmed. I haven’t seen an injury report regarding FB Chandler Cox yet, and there’s always a chance both Malcolm Perry and Lynn Bowden get some touches in the backfield. We’re going to have to see more of Tua in this game, and I hope he’s up for the task. I know he has the talent and the confidence so let’s see some more of him please. I was perfectly fine with how things played out last week, there was no need to put any burden on Tua, the defense and ST’s like the wonderful 88 yard return for a TD last week, along with the Van Ginkel fumble recovery for a TD, but that won’t happen every week, and with the run game being at a huge deficit, it may be Tua time this week. Will #88 ever be a big part of the gameplan? I surely hope so, like Sonny said in “A Bronx Tale”, “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever” Let’s make the right choice and get #88 the damn football!

I don’t get that. Stepping up?
Let them say that kind of stuff I prefer to be the underdog
Does anyone think the Dolphins have been overmatched in any game this year?
I don’t. For the first time in years. I think I’m in koolaid territory.
I was expecting us over matched this Sunday. Well they sure showed me 👍👍
Stanger. Wife and I discussed it , she will leave her DST in , as opposed to benching them and winning by 1 🤔🤡
I had an illegal lineup one year in the championship for doing just that.
So ya lost cause if it ?

TD Jets J-E-T-S
I think Tua is going to be pretty good. He scared me several times with some “Mr. Pennington-esque, noodle-armed throws”, but he’s still in rehab mode and without having gone through a rigorous off-season strength program (due to his rehab, coupled with COVID protocols).
This bodes very well for us. Why? Other teams will get Tua on tape in year 1… but he’s only going to get stronger and stronger, so you can throw that tape away. I do NOT foresee Tua suffering a so-called ‘sophomore slump’. He’s going to be on a curve that is so much higher than most.
I didn’t see any noodle arm throws. In fact Tua while on the run can throw darts right on the money. Because he’s a lefty and that has a different look, he reminded me of Steve Young at times. He has a knack for timing and touch and he’s very accurate.
To your 2nd point, that’s the scary thing, he’s a rookie and he’s going to get better because he’s his biggest critic. 🙂
I didn’t like how some of Tua’s throws got there, JUST in the nick of time before a defender could make a play on the ball. MAJOR props to our WRs for bailing him out a few times… or perhaps, Tua’s throws were just THAT accurate!
No worries here. As I stated, he’s going to get stronger (passing arm included) with a full offseason training program that was not afforded him this year due to rehab and COVID.
TUA ROCKS!!!
Maybe some of the media is still trying to downplay the Dolphins but I think the majority is very impressed with Flores and how we’re going about the rebuild. On Good Morning Football Kyle Brandt said something like now with Tua at the helm and Flores believing in him, they’re going to just keep winning and winning and winning. Look for Flores to be coach of the year.
Hot on the heels of the “what is he thinking replacing fitz after 2 wins “ lol.
They have backpedalled saying I guess Flo knew what he was doing
Yeah when they come to the realization that Flores has a better handle on his team then they do. LOL
Never got into them and could not name a song if a gun were to my head ..
I think his two attempted throw always could fall under noodle arm.. he looked like he really didn’t want to toss either one
Oh okay. I don’t view it as noodle arm rather than not doing enough to make sure it’s thrown away. Yeah a little risky to not do enough on the throw. Got away with it though. Don’t do that again. LOL
Question for you guys,
Why can’t we run the ball this year? It seems as though we have BIG BOYS on our O-Line, which would make one think we could run SMASHMOUTH… but of course, that doesn’t always translate. Fact is, our O-Line is doing a GRAND job of protecting our QB, rather than run-blocking.
So is it that our O-Line just looks like it can run-block for our RBs… or is it just that our RBs suck? I haven’t an answer.
Gaskin was doing an okay job, was hoping to see some Breida past Sunday but hurt..
Ahmed looked okay <no caps 🤔
Then there is Jordan Howard… like someone said I think we just need to stop signing Jordan’s…
LOL @ signing Jordan’s! Yessir, nothing good has come from us drafting or signing ANYBODY with the name Jordan… and there have been several.
Now that Gailey has found out about QB sneaks, we’re going to be just fine running the ball.
LOL
I think at times we run it well and other times we don’t. I think the OL is still a work in progress and we need more talent at RB. We don’t break big runs. We’re okay moving the sticks at times – 3, 4, 7 maybe 11. I’m sure that’s an area the team wants to improve in the offseason. At least this OL doesn’t get overrun like it had been in years past. We’re much more competitive this year.
M13, most throws in the NFL are in really tight windows specifically down the field unless someone is wide open and that’s usually because of a blown assignment. However, I do think Tua is that accurate. That throw to Gesicki down the field against the Rams that almost got picked off because Gesicki didn’t handle it, it was right on his hands and the old adage is that’s the receiver’s ball. Gotta catch it. Gesicki catches some passes that shouldn’t be caught but that one was on him. That’s how accurate Tua is. Scary!
I DO agree that Tua is THAT accurate… no question, man. But on that given play on the pass to Gesicki? DUDE… that Rams DB made one HELLUVA play on that ball. I don’t fault our guy Gesicki whatsoever… that was one of the better DB breakups of a pass I’ve seen all season, bud. Gotta give props to that DB (forget who it was).
In other words, that wasn’t on Tua OR Gesicki.
Fair enough but Jerry Rice would say I have to catch that and so would Gesicki. I’m not bashing Gesicki as much as I’m saying Tua put it where it needed to be. He gets picked there it still wasn’t a bad throw. That’s how contested a lot of throws are. The skill level to make them or defend them is insane.
I have liked his zip and accuracy. I remember 1 pass yesterday where I said to myself that was behind receiver, as opposed 3-4 per game with Fitz
Can you guys believe the Chargers traded Desmond King to the Titans for a late round pick? What was that all about? WOW… my guys King at CB and Kevin Byard at S.
Makes me very happy for Ryan Tannehill, to have a Defense to support him.
And same week he takes a pick ? Or fumble to the house 😊
Ha!
Yes… I’ve got much love for Tannehill, still. That is… until he faces us, of course.
AFC championship game 2020😊
K Flacco long time consuming TD drive 👍👍
Or that ya DUMBASS
Flacco just punted so they don’t win this one. LOL
Someone put the word in, Joe what the hell are you doing? We need to lose.
Of course there’s a flag
My only concern with Tua is being able to handle getting knocked around at the NFL level long-term. All QBs get knocked around. That’s it. I think he checks off all the other boxes.
He’s taken a couple hits where I cringed but he got up… he’s also spun and shifted to miss/minimize impact. So he seems smart enuff
Agreed. Just like tonight with Newton, he got creamed on that RTP penalty. That shit happens to all QBs. Gotta be able to handle those as crazy as that sounds.
He’s not Pat White 🤡
No he’s not. LOL
Newton’s boys told him, dumbass you’re only getting 1m quit running.
As I’m writing this I’m waiting for the flag.
Make up call
Incomplete
Wow Joe, you couldn’t throw the dropdown on 2nd down?
The Jets don’t want to win this game. 😉
Sure seems like someone said, not to win.
Grounding
Fuck sakes
The jest are EPICALLY BAD.
I hope Trevor says FU jets im staying in school.
That would be cool lol
He can pull an Elway/Eli type of thing as well. There will be teams that will make that kind of trade.
That said, with a new head coach and a chance to get the Jets franchise back on the map is a very lucrative situation. I don’t know enough about Trevor the person if he even wants to be part of a NJ/NY lifestyle. It’s not for everyone. Heck, I’ve lived here all my life and I’m not sure it’s for me. LOL
Someone has to enjoy dumpster fires.
LOL I’ve been thinking the same thing!!! Actually hoping their season falls apart and makes him want to stay.
It seemed obvious that the Jets had not intention of winning this game. And now CAM acting happy and relieved to beat a winless Jets team.
I want a DO OVER for our game 1 vs Pats. In retrospect we should be embarrassed. Can’t wait to crush them later this season.
I endorse this message
Yeah the loss to the Pats still pisses me off too. We weren’t ready out of the gate.
I felt that might be the case heading into the season with such a huge roster turnover and even a good amount of coaches. The Covid, no OTAs and PS. I said I could see us at 0-2, then 2-4 before we start winning some games. That was because I believe in Flores. So we went 0-2 and 1-3 before winning 4 in a row. Right on schedule. LOL
The country had to suffer 2-5 Pats vs 0-8 Jets on MNF.
Did anybody else watch this besides AFC East fans? and FFB (like either team had a player that should be in your lineup LOL).
Was actually a better game than I expected.. I do think Jets has a chance. And it would have knocked another 10 of 25 out of my Survivor pool .. so yes limited audio lol
Flacco looks like a guy who just had parole denied… “2 more years with Jets, as backup”.
LOL
So as of now we’re #7 in the playoff race. Carry on with your playoff conversation because we are there now. 😉
Yeah, I don’t understand why we are shown in 7th instead of 6th.
Colts – 5/3 overall (.625) – 0/1 division (.00) – 2/3 conference (.40)
Phins – 5/3 overall (.625) – 1/2 division (.333) – 2/2 conference (.50)
The Dolphins have the better record
We are in 6th place. Fuck NFL . com and their inability to add or subtract.
LV is 6 we are 7, they have a better conference winning % right now.
You are correct sir. NFL. com shows them incorrectly at #9. They have a .6 conference record so they are sitting in 6th.
More on Flores for COY
https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-overreactions-week-9-is-drew-brees-the-g-o-a-t-now
As weird as it was cheering for Jets, in 2 weeks we will need to cheer for Pats again (vs Houston).
The dream of Houston getting top pick can’t overcome Jets/Gase futility. Even though we probably wouldn’t take a QB, we could EASILY have started a bidding war for teams to Trade Up for it.
#3 pick would still likely give us our choice of best non-QB player. I’d love to get Sewell to add to our OL (Hunt can play G). He is considered the best OT prospect EVER (by PFF). Our OL vets are on 2 yr contracts (the length of the projected ‘rebuild’). Flowers, Davis, Karras are not in our plans long term other than backups when their contracts are up.
Jackson – Hunt(Flowers) – Karras – Kindley – Sewell(Davis) gives Tua the line depth he needs to become MVP
I think Flores will have his pick of vet defensive players who want to play for him (just like last year).
Hell, might even be another Pats player who says “f-ck this, I’m gonna play for Brian”.
So, I think cheering for #3 is realistic. Jets take Lawrence (who becomes damaged goods there), Jax takes Fields, then Sewell becomes the “best player drafted”.
The love begins

“The Dolphins are suddenly looking pretty good in the playoff picture. After their fourth straight win, the Dolphins are 5-3, a game-and-a-half behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. And check out the next four weeks:”
I guess I am not the only on that is wrong hun? Yahoo sports “doesn’t get it” either…..I just love being called out by U-40’s
Miami had the biggest Week 9 improvement in their playoff odds, according to Football Outsiders’ projections. The Dolphins now have a 56.2 percent chance to make it to the playoffs, up 18.4 percent from a week ago.
There has to be some garbage in those calculations! ONE non-conference win 1/2 way through the season doesn’t change odds 37.8 percent!
It brought Indy/Clev back to us and we passed them in the tiebreakers, so a big week for us.
Probably because of positioning within the Conference standings week to week and maybe strength of remaining schedule factors in to their probability percentage?
And the direction of the team. Clev looks to be falling off again and Indy just played a head scratching game they dominated early at home, then shit the bed in 2nd half.
Yahoo Sports power rankings have us 13, behind Tampa, Rams, Indy and LV.
Starting to get tidbits on why Tua replaced Fitz. Tua 5 for 5 on TDs in the redzone, Fitz 57%.
You can say a lot of things about our team, but the fact that we’re in the top 10 in both offensive scoring and defensive scoring is the thing that jumps out at me the most. What a transformation!
It’s remarkable what Flores and Grier have done in a year and a half. We’ve been trained to think rebuilds take 3 years, and that you always have to start over again on year 4, lol.
We’ve been trained to expect very little, but Flores (and Grier) are breaking that trend.
Happy Birthday to our Devel Dogs!! Proud of every time I got to serve with you men!
Oh come on now we know they never did anything for this country except kill babies! haven’t you heard?
Speaking of the Marines, when you go back to the old wooden ships days, they were the first to go on to the other ship. Can you imagine leading the charge and a bunch of people just waiting for you to swing over swords drawn, pistols loaded and you swinging across a body of water into that fray?
Like i said about our team this year, i just wanted to see building off what they started at the end of last year. First couple of games, it didn’t quite look that way but the culture of this team is dramatically different and each and every game we play as a team not a bunch of scattered glory boys. This is everything i had hoped for and the W’s are a byproduct so im really happy with those.
“#3 pick would still likely give us our choice of best non-QB player. I’d love to get Sewell to add to our OL (Hunt can play G). He is considered the best OT prospect EVER (by PFF). Our OL vets are on 2 yr contracts (the length of the projected ‘rebuild’). Flowers, Davis, Karras are not in our plans long term other than backups when their contracts are up.”
Id rather have Leatherwood if we kick Hunt inside. He was Tua blindside protector and had he come out last year he probably would have been a 1st rounder, definitely nothing less than high 2nd. Id prefer us get Trey Hill however, UGA OC, and leave Hunt at RT, i think he has played very well there. Our OG situation is pretty solid. Either way, id probably trade the top pick as i dont see a player in that group that real screams select me for this team. Its a weak DE draft, and though there are some Dt’s i like there, im not sure we need a starter at DT to round out the defense.
Id like for us to get a 1st round WR, wouldnt mind a DT or DE/DT hybrid, or maybe a OT or CB prospect, but none of them would have to be top 5. Will have to see how some of the off-season stuff plays out, but right now that kinda where i am, and RB no later than 2nd.
Just my quick thoughts on the game:
Playcalling was vastly improved for the most part. They did a better job of getting Tua into a rhythm early and allowing him to play better in the second half. I would like to see more times where we run the ball twice in a row and not some nonsense from the shotgun either. The QB Sneak was great. Drastically reducing the number of screens we throw was great as well.
Watching the game, you couldn’t tell Tua was a rookie. He made me forget that I was watching a kid in his second NFL start, not to mention, coming back from a major injury. Down by 7, about to go into the fourth quarter from our endzone, this kid converts the 3rd and 9 and then goes on to singlehandedly move us downfield for the tying score to some scrub tight end from special teams.
The defense made plays when it needed to and there were multiple AZ drives that were aided by poor officiating. The wheels on Kyler Murray are insane though. Any other QB and he’s sacked multiple times in that game.
In response to some comments made earlier, I think the biggest problem in our running game is the playcalling. Rarely do we see two runs back to back. We’ll get a good run on first down of 3-5 yards and then we’ll pass 2 times.
I’m also not seeing a noodle arm. If the DB is that close to our receivers, it’s because we have the lowest yards per separation in the league or Tua is having to throw when breaking out of the pocket or under diress. If he had a noodle arm, the ball would get there later and the DB would be able to make a play, but the ball is on time and right where it needs to be and the DB can’t do a thing about it. Tua is also coming back from a hip injury and that’s where a lot of power from a QB comes from when throwing so we might be seeing some effects from that as well.
Like everyone else, I hope this kid stays healthy and continues to improve.
D still has problems with mobile QB’s but not many dont have problems with Murray that little fucker is quick and fast. He’s like am early Russell Wilson with incredible athletic ability.
RB Javonte Williams highlighted as one player who continues to improve his draft stock. (dammit)
https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/2021-nfl-draft-stock-risers-after-cfb-week-10
Im a fan of familiarity because chemistry with a player is one of the ways that a Qb knows where to put the ball best because he understands and has familiarity with how the player moves in an out of their breaks, and how they run their routes. This doesnt mean he cant build chemistry with a new guy, but when ya have guys coming out in next years draft, why not integrate people that Tua is familiar with if possible, players like Waddle, Smith, or Harris. So not saying there aren’t a lot of other prospects, probably some that are going to be slightly better overall talent, but given the familiarity they will be more plug and play i think.
Its a deep RB pool this coming draft year too so there will be plenty to look at, and the good part of that is we can get the right guy at the right pick position.
Q now is whether Big Ben actually has it or not.
——————————————————-
“The Steelers announced that in addition to tight end Vance McDonald, four more players in including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The same goes for starting linebacker Vince Williams who is also on the list.”
D, I agree with your comments on the OL. I really like the OC from Ohio State but like you said we could draft one later in Hill or Dickerson. I almost prefer Alabama OC over Hill. Not just because Tua has that familiarity but I have read Hill does not have much versatility, meaning they don’t feel he could move over to OG if he had to.
If Houston wins a few more games, I could see them pulling the trigger on Waddle around 9-10. As of yesterday, thedraftnetwork has us picking at #7 and #20. One updated his 1st round mock and drafted MLB Parsons at 7 and WR Devonta Smith at 20. I would be good with that. I had always thought Smith was a better route runner than Jeudy.
I do like the idea a drafting someone Tua is familiar with at the WR position. RB, to me, does not matter as much. Though, in Tua’s case, being a lefty and having your former RB in Harris would be more beneficial than in other scenarios. Harris is great at pass pro and already used to blocking for Tua. I still don’t think it is as beneficial as drafting one of Tua’s former WR’s though.
I will be on the Najee Harris/Javonte Williams bandwagon all the way up to the draft.
Good news. He may miss this Sunday, or be limited, but it likely won’t cause him to miss multiple games.
Hopefully we can get Callaway going. I still can’t figure out why the eff we traded Isaiah Ford. Especially since our #1 and #2 are injury prone.
Same reason why Tua is playing, the guy being replaced is solid, but isn’t dynamic enough, and we want to get the dynamic (upgrades) guys on the field.
At this point, Grier and Flores have shown they know what they are doing, so obviously they have a plan, but we are thin at receiver. Neither of the supposedly dynamic guys Bowden and Perry have contributed squat. Callaway definitely has talent, but in Flores’ own words (paraphrased) he hasn’t seen him on the field. Hopefully we see Callaway this weekend.
Maybe 6’4″ 221lb Mack Hollins is the dynamic guy Flores thinks needs more PT. It’s hard to say what he’s thinking, but we sure have to believe he’s doing the right thing.
Next man up has been playing as if the guy being replaced was still playing, so might as well give the guy with more upside a shot.
This mostly seamless transition, when a player goes out with an injury or just replaced, has been amazing. We saw it for years in NE, now Flores has brought it to Miami.
I think the lack of…is why other Belicheat branches haven’t made it as head coaches.
Totally agree. We’ve heard about ‘next man up’ for ages, but we actually see it happen on this team, lol.
I’m still laughing at how when Flores was hired I was like “what the heck? Who the eff is this guy?” Oh, the guy who is on track to be the best coach the Dolphins have had since Shula. LOL
He has a few years before he passes JJ, but it’s looking good right now.
It’s funny, now that 2a has won his first 2 starts, but not so comical when he threw his first pass.
I joked 2 weeks ago about 2a having the same number as Garo saying, I hope he doesn’t throw like him, then his first pass fumbles up, just like Garo’s infamous pass😏
Good thing I don’t live in the Dr. Pepper town.
Yah Jinxed. Helps any though he didn’t really throw that pass. 🙂
Neither did Garo😉
“That one scramble where he split those guys was exceptional. I don’t think any moment is too big for Tua.”
— Ted Karras
That’s his version of the competitive spirit like Fitz brought. I think, if you stay in the pocket like Brady and Goff, you’re less likely to win an SB in today’s game.
I like Karras. Hope we keep him, even as a high-priced back-up if a draft choice works out.
Looked like Williams was really starting to click with 2a, then he goes down and Parker picks up the slack.
So why is it that Williams keeps getting the ball more than Parker? Is it because Parker is the #1 WR and is covered by CB #1?
Parker had Peterson on him all game it seamed like?
I considered that, but what changed after Williams got hurt? Did Tua just start throwing there, even though Peterson was on him?
If we get stuck at WR we can always use Gesicki full time out wide.
We still have a few more guys to go through to be stuck at WR. There are also a few out there looking for jobs right now, just ask Ocho he keeps saying he is better than most in the NFL and he is itching to get back into aqua and orange lol
Why are two Jags up for rookie of the week? Isn’t that competition just for NFL teams?

Shouldn’t “scoring defense” mean how many points your defense has scored? Bet we are doing real well in that category as well.
Stanger you’re one of a kind. What kind? No one knows😏
Makes you wonder why they let me teach law school…. but assuming you got the point.
Bend dont break against bust loose but dont score.
Combine the two and its bust loose all over the place but hardly score at all, which i can deal with that i guess.
They had Jackson at left tackle, they move Davis to write guard, so I would assume Hunt is doing good at right tackle, that’s good because we have three veterans in the middle of the line
I like the QB sneak by Tua tagovailoa
Flowers had a great game
I hope we get breida back this week
We have to go up against kalen ballage this week. He may want some revenge
Of course he will….. and can’t blame him. He’s only playing cause they are down a bunch of backs though.
Chargers plus 2.5
Unbelievable!
Wtf
NFL says, if the reg season is cut short there will be 16 playoff teams.
I Kellen planning on bringing the heat??????
Without knowing am assuming that the Bolts have an OL that can open up holes. Ballage is OK once he goes through one of those.
