Week 10 – Chargers @ Dolphins

This game is much more than Tua vs Herbert, I’ve just become fond of the mirror image bookend windups of both righty and lefty QB’s together. Don’t get me wrong, both of these players will play a large role in the game, but right now the Dolphins defense is an equal shareholder in the outcome of this team. I mentioned this the other day and I think this information is still sinking in. Half the season is completed and our Miami Dolphins are in the top 10 in offensive scoring (10th) at 27.8 PPG and 4th in defensive scoring at 20.1 PPG. We’re plus 61 in point differential. We knew this was year 1 of the rebuild after the tear down and I can’t imagine that any of us expected this type of result so quickly.

Emmanuel Ogbah has been so impressive this season. He has more sacks at the halfway point of the season (7) than he has had in any full season. His 13 QB hits are 3 away from topping his season best in which he started all 16 games. He’s playing 76% of the defensive snaps and is on pace to equal his rookie year of playing over 800 snaps. The thing is, it’s not just Ogbah, everyone is making plays. Ogbah has started them with the strip sacks in back to back games but Andrew Van Ginkel scooped up one fumble and ran it back for a TD and then the next week it was Shaq Lawson with the scoop and the fumble recovery TD return. Elandon Roberts has made some big defensive stops. Byron Jones and Xavien Howard have been balling although last week Howard struggled all day. Eric Rowe has been playing very well along with Bobby McCain. Big Raekwon Davis, Zach Sieler and Christian Wilkins have been money on the defensive line. If I asked you which Dolphins DB has the most passes defensed I’d be willing to bet nearly all of you would guess wrong. It’s Eric Rowe with 9. BTW, Shaq Lawson is just one shy of Ogbah with 12 QB hits. You don’t hear his name as much but he’s getting it done.

The 2-6 Chargers come in 17th in offensive scoring at 25.6 PPG and 21st in defensive scoring at 27 PPG and they have a -11 point differential. This Chargers defense was supposed to be better with Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, Denzel Perryman, Kenneth Murray etc. The Chargers recently traded away safety Desmond King and now have the duo of Rayshawn Jenkins and Nasir Adderly. The Chargers defense hasn’t been what they expected but their offense has been humming despite the running back carousel of Austin Ekeler (IR), Joshua Kelley and Justin Jackson. Ekeler is the most explosive of the crew and he’s been on IR for weeks. The Chargers are now featuring RB’s Kalen Ballage and Troymaine Pope due to injuries to Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley. WR Keenan Allen leads the team in receptions followed by WR Mike Williams. No longer does that dominant TE control the middle of the field (Antonio Gates). Still, QB Justin Herbert is having a fantastic rookie season completing 67% of his passes with 17 TD’s and only 5 INT’s and 2146 yards passing.

For our Dolphins, the hope is that Matt Breida will be healthy or we’ll see the committee of Jordan Howard, Salvon Ahmed and Patrick Laird. Ahmed looked to have some giddyup while Jordan Howard ran like he had a blocking sled tied to his waist. Ahmed had 38 yards on 7 carries and a long carry of 19 yards. Breida is questionable with a hamstring injury. WR Preston Williams is on IR with a foot injury sustained on his TD catch against the Cards. There’s a chance we will see WR Antonio Callaway this week as he makes his long journey back to an NFL gameday roster, his last NFL action was 11/3/19. Jakeem Grant was more involved in the passing game than usual and he stepped up. Tua now makes his third NFL start, his 2nd at home. I would think the small crowd will be in a frenzy. I just hope we can keep up the good work we’ve done the last 4 games.

GO DOLPHINS!!!

    FAU OWLS finish off a satisfying 38-19 win over Butch Davis’ FIU Panthers in Miami on CBS Sports Channel. This game, known as The Shula Bowl (because of a large trophy donated by the DON, Himself) now stands at 14 wins for FAU and 5 for FIU. Last season, after losing the Shula Bowl trophy to FAU by a 37-7 score, the Panthers DEFEATED THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI for the first time ever in their cross town rivalry the FOLLOWING WEEK!!

    SOMEWHAT TO MY SURPRISE, the Owls are now 4-1, which is the 2nd best record in Conference USA (behind Herd’s undefeated Marshall team). Perhaps my old school will have a winning season after all.
    ———————–
    SO, in honor of FAU’s win tonight, I’m gonna pick–
    38-19 DOLPHINS on “HOWIE’s LIST”

    I will need to take a closer look to some of these small schools for any draft diamonds. I mean look at some of these schools in the top 25 ranking:
    #7 Cincinnati
    #14 Coastal Carolina
    #15 Marshall (Herds boys!)
    #22 Liberty
    #25 Louisiana
    Some are not necessarily small schools but you should know what I mean.

    I was looking at that FINSIDED 4 round mock. I would not be disappointed with it but it’s just ok.
    #7 CB Patrick Surtain II, they compare him to Byron Jones
    #21 OC Creed Humphrey, Solid
    #39 RB Najee Harris, one of my 2 fav RB’s
    #53 WR Rondale Moore, small, lightning quick/fast waterbug
    #84 Edge Patrick Jones, don’t know much but will look into him. I know he is racking up some sacks this year but now sure about his versatility.
    #122 S Caden Sterns, from Texas, another solid versatile safety, almost a carbon copy of Brandon Jones we drafted this year from Texas.

    I find myself in the same spot, its not that you are trying to go heavy Alabama players, it just happens because of the talent level on the team they have. This might be overall the most talented team they have ever had.

      Depends on whether you have it or not. They don’t say whether a player tested positive or was in close contact with someone who did. Lots of the close contact guys test negative and are off the list in a few days.

    The Trump campaign is surveying supporters over a perceived attack by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, as the president continues to retaliate against a network he once saw as a defender.

    The campaign surveys, which were emailed to supporters and available on its website this week, includes questions such as “Do you agree Fox News should recall their Arizona projection for Joe Biden?” and “Do you agree media outlets, such as Fox News, should be held accountable for misleading the public?”…..

    The surveys come amid a new report from Axios that Trump is considering starting a digital media company designed to undermine Fox News

    I didn’t’ watch Fox because they were Alt Right.
    I watched the pressers there because they didn’t talk or interrupt them.

    In what world should a Whitehouse press conference be interrupted, or turned off? If you don’t agree with it you should still listen to it!

    I guess I’ll have to watch them on your favorite news network now. 😉

      Didn’t know Fox News put out pressers in full before. If they did then that is pretty cool and if they stopped then sorry to hear it. Wasn’t going after your judgment on that in any way.

    Man, what’s up with this Michigan D. They were supposed to have all these highly rated Edge players and LB’s. Is it cause Harbaugh sucks as a coach?

  54. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Four months ago all the draft talk was 3 QB’s potentially go in the 1st round. Now I am reading some sites saying at least 5 will go 1st round. I hope so. Lawrence, Fields, Lance and now Trask and Wilson. I have seen two different mid season mock drafts that had the Pats taking BYU QB Zach Wilson with their first pick. There also some buzz about Ole Miss QB Matt Corral who has played beyond possessed his last 2 games completing 58 of 65 passes for 900 yards, 9 TD’s and 0 INT’s. I think with this draft class looking deeper now, Corral will stay in school another year.

      Never mind, I had to drop a player, and NFL.com’s FF is different than my other 2 leagues which are on Yahoo. There’s a “drop” tab at the top of your team page. I thought it would be the same way you “move” a player in and out of the lineup.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      I believe the player has to actually be on IR before you do it. I don’t remember but pretty sure it’s either just like moving a player to the bench but instead you put them in the IR slot. Either that, or it might be a right click on your mouse, I’m in 3 different leagues and 2 of the others are on Yahoo, so I get them confused. I’m confused to begin with. lol
