This is it folks! Last game of the 2021 Preseason. Coach Flores has already put it out there most starters will sit so this is the opportunity for all those players on the roster bubble to make their case to be on the 53. It’s also a good chance to see what the depth looks like because during a season, injuries always rear their ugly head and you need solid depth to stay ahead during the season.
Jacoby Brissett will most likely see a fair amount of action and it’s important for him to show he knows the offense and can run the team in Tua’s absence. There’s always the question as to whether the Dolphins will carry 2 or 3 QB’s, my guess would be just 2. Reid Sinnett will end up on the PS and give the Dolphins another precious roster spot. Recent moves have made the WR depth much clearer. The Dolphins placed 2nd year WR Lynn Bowden Jr. on IR ending his season. The Dolphins also waived WR’s Robert Foster and Isaiah Ford. Veteran Allen Hurns was placed on IR earlier so the only bodies left are Will Fuller (Inactive Week 1), DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson, Jaylen Waddle,Preston Williams, Mack Hollins, Jakeem Grant, Kirk Merritt and Malcolm Perry. 9 WR’s , 6 for week 1. One has to go and I feel it will be Malcolm Perry. WIll the big bodied and oft injured Williams hold off equally as large and ace ST’s player Mack Hollins? I don’t think so. Merritt has had a strong preseason so he has a leg up, but there is still game 3 for Perry to change that. However, it looks very much like we’ll have Parker, Wilson, Waddle, Hollins, Grant and Merritt for the first game against the Patriots.
I expect us to carry 4 TE’s, Gesicki, Shaheen, Long and probably Smythe due to his blocking abilities. Myarick could steal his spot, and who knows, maybe it’s Shaheen that gets cut, but it sure seemed like they like Shaheen. Cethan carter also earn as a spot as an H-back/FB/TC, or maybe Long goes on IR because of his injury.
At RB, I think we’ll carry 4 into the regular season, the clear choices right now are the first 3, Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Malcolm Brown. After that it’s a real tossup as to whether 2021 7th RD pick rookie Gerrid Doaks makes it, or veteran Patrick Laird or a surprise like Jordan Scarlett. Game 3 will probably have a lot to say about which guy makes it!
On the O-line, still not decided (as far as we know), but I’m sticking with my prediction of Jackson-Kindley-Deiter-Hunt-Eichenberg. Still possible that either Eichenberg starts at LG over Kindley and Jesse Davis starts at RT but I believe it will be the former. Jermaine Eluemunor has also been released. You have to figure we carry at least if not 9 OL so the aforementioned 5 plus Davis, Skura, Little and either Coleman or Pankey.
On defense, despite not seeing a lot of Jaelan Phillips, I still think he’s going to be a major part of our defense. AVG looks ready to be right where he left off last season, and that’s a good thing. I really love our depth at LB with AVG, Baker, McKinney, Phillips, Roberts, Eguavoen, Riley, Biegel. Not sure if Griffin makes that final cut, especially since Roberts has been activated.
On the DL we have the usual Wilkins-Davis-Ogbah, followed by Sieler, Jenkins, Butler and Strowbridge. More than likely that last spot will be up for grabs between Jason Strowbridge and Jonathan Ledbetter, unless we carry 8 DL, which is possible. Benito Jones is still in the mix but Tyshun Render was moved to LB where he faces tough odds against the previously mentioned group.
The Dolphins strong secondary will be led by All-Pro Xavien Howard and Byron Jones at CB along with Nik Needham who refuses to give ground to 2020 1st RD pick Noah Igbinoghene. Good on Needham, who just keeps working hard! The safety group looks Rowe and impressive rookie Jevon Holland, followed by vet Jason McCourty, Clayton Fejedelem (ST’s ace), Brandon Jones (2020 3rd RD pick), Jamal Perry and Nate WIlliams. Probably 4 will make it here among the safeties with 6 CB’s. Perry and Williams are as good as gone leaving perhaps a battle between Fejedelem and Jones or we carry 5 safeties. CB’s should be Howard, Jones, Needham, Igbinoghene, Coleman, McCourty who can play both CB/S
Special teams will be standout PK Jason Sanders as well as newly acquired P Michael Palardy. Jakeem Grant and Jaylen Waddle as well as Noah Igbinoghene will handle the return duties. Long snapper Blake Ferguson returns.
There will always be some surprise cuts, some of the players I have making the roster won’t and some I have being cut won’t get cut. It’s fun to see how things shape up, let’s just hope that injuries don’t make these decisions for the team.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
cam doenst have much intelligence, lol
id pass on him
FL is by far the best high school football in the nation , talent wise
FL has more players in the NFL, than any of the other 49 states
State NFL Players
Florida 212
California 191
Texas 179
Georgia 120
I think it has more to do with all the Florida universities, and the ease to scout in their own back yard. Not many states have more football programs than Florida does.
california has more than double the football programs, schools, population, etc that FL does
Texas has much more also
California has 55 million people, THEY should have the most nfl players based on sheer numbers
correction, CA has 40 million, which is roughly twice as many as FL
I think Miamis defense will be too much for Mac Jones in his first game
my prediction,
Miami 31, Cheatriots 13
People are still stroking belicheat’s…
I think it will be a fairly close game just because everyone is still working out the kinks. Miami 24, NE-14.
Just like game 1 last year neither team has an identity on O
Mac Jones has been put in the best possible scenario, good D with belicheat tinkering the scheme, good running game, smart team
What more could a rookie QB ask for?
better blocking? lol
dolphins will be coming after Jones, they have two weeks to work on blitz and pass rush packages against a rookies first game
I tend to agree. I think it’ll be in the 20’s or teens. Belichick will have his guys prepared. Even with a terrible Cam (passing) last year they beat us 21-11. Of course, Fitztragic showing up to throw 3 picks certainly didn’t help. The game was 14-11 midway through the fourth. We still could have won that game, but kept letting Cam run on us.
Yeah, I agree. Belichick hasn’t lost his touch.
Anyone seen the movie Ford vs. Ferrari? Probably one of the best movies to come out in the last 20 years.
it looks interesting, ill check it out, thanks for the heads up
LOL…. I was going to ask a “maybe”.
Maybe I’ve seen it and was going to give away the ending….spoiler alert….lol.
Wasn’t there a 24hr Lemond race at the end of the movie? Lol….
I can only remember a handful of week 1 games where we came out firing
Dan Marino vs the patriots comes to mind
Shula had us firing on all cylinders against the Redskins one opener many years ago
Then was the Texans game where Rickey broke it open with a 50 yard 3rd quarter run, but was nullified, because of a phantom holding call, we lost
Peyton Mannings first game was a pretty good game for us. He did have some late success in garbage time
Seemed like every year under Shula he had us ready to go week 1, except maybe the game in San Diego in the 80s, that we got crushed. 3 friends from Miami flew out to LA and we drove down to that game, afterwards we were on the pier with our Fins shirts on and got teased by many
i think the dolphins will come up with several turnovers, giving the offense a short field to work with
the Dolphins have 12 pass catchers on the roster, 7 WR and 5 TE
we know Fuller will miss game one, and WIlson is likely to get injured walking onto the field, but even so, Tua should have plenty of targets, and can also use Gaskins in the passing game as well
Don’t be a U75 Myles Gaskin
Why do you give ORob shit about Tua, then do the same thing with Wilson?
In English we have a word for that☺
its called part time wilson
Tua plays every game, Wilson hasnt played in years, poor compare
I remember this game against the broncos
https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/250911015
I would not discount Mac Jones. He is very smart and a cool cucumber. He will have to be rattled early and often the whole game. They will be pounding the ball early and often with RB Rhamondre Stevenson who is an agile bulldozer at 6’0 231 pounds. He was one of the big backs I wanted in the later rounds (5-7) but Pats took him in 4th. He is also a good receiving back. They have group of good RB’s in Stevenson, Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden along with 2 fast water bugs in James White and JJ Taylor.
They are going to try and control the game with the run to control our blitz packages.
Just because Mac Jones is a rookie don’t mean much with this new power run game they have.
The Pats rushed for 511 yards in 3 PS games. I know that is PS but that just tells me what they are building and working on.
Can’t believe y’all think this game is going to be a pushover.
Jones has talent, but the Dolphins defense is much tougher than the average SEC team Jones has faced
hes in for a treat with the Dolphins defense, they will rattle the shit out of him imo
i believe Jones will find success down the road, lol but game one is likely to be ugly for him
I don’t see it being an ugly game for him. Especially if we can’t stop their run game.
To me the key is not so much Mac Jones but stopping the Patriots run game. If the Patriots can run we will be in trouble. If we can take that away eventually Jones will make a rookie mistake. I would not look for lots of blitz packages but rather stack the line and rely on Howard and Jones to teach Mac Jones the difference between being open in college and being open in the pros
Not really sure how to take Grier’s work as a GM
Many from the 2020 FA class have already been let go
These guys on IR like Hurns are puzzling
Then there’s the Watson mess
On the other hand, do you want guys on the team, that don’t want to be there like McKinney?
Do you want guys that don’t fit what you’re trying to accomplish?
Is it better to sign a lot of 1 yr contracts or cut ties with guys right away, that don’t fit?
Maybe we’ll find out the answer this year
Dolphins dont have any watson mess, that is Houstons problem
Seems like you’re nitpicking. We’ve taken more steps forward than backwards with Grier at the helm and the backyard steps aren’t as big as the forward steps. The real key will be if he hit when they chose Tua.
Anyone seen the movie Ford vs. Ferrari?
————————————
Sb7, Wife and I went and saw it in IMAX. Awesome!
I didn’t get to see it in the theatres and wish I had after renting the DVD. Other than the Marvel movies or stuff for my kids, there aren’t a whole lot of movies that have made me want to see them in the theatre. Movies have been trash the last 20 years.
I agree. There are only certain movies we go see at a theater and usually try to see most of them in IMAX.
To me the key is not so much Mac Jones but stopping the Patriots run game.
——————————–
Bingo Ken!!! Stopping any run game has been our problem let alone a power run game.
Can’t believe some think this game is all about Mac Jones being a rookie.
Totally agree
Not worried about NE. Think Miami can get a shut out to start the year.
Just hope he does not hesitate the whole game like he did in PS.
Think it was by design, to get him to set the edge
hell yea!
would be great to start the season 1-0
agreed the defense will need to shut the run down and force passing situations
but i believe the Dolphins defense is better than what many of the comments indicate, but everything is a prediction, the Dolphins could get blown out 59-0 , lol
but i certainly dont think that will happen, i think our defense will play lights out and force Jones into mistakes
we cant forget about Howard, ya know, the guy that had 10 ints last year?
he will be looking for his first of this year against Jones
When do signings for practice squad start? 4pm?
Yep 4pm
To me, our offense has to come out swinging and put points on the board. We can’t have this nonsense that we’ve seen in the past decade where the offense is constantly putting our D back on the field only to tire out in the 4th quarter.
^
Points on the board early and win TOP.
And win in turnovers.
turnovers will be key IMO
Would’ve felt much better about this game, if we had McKinney
Hope Judon is neutralized, Jackson will have his hands full
Roberts and Baker will need to have big games
If we can’t stop the run we’ll have to outscore them
Not sure how I feel our chances are in that situation
Watch Belicheat break out the wild cat game 1 on us and us not be able to stop it. LOL
The key to game 1 is to score more points than the Patriots do……
😉
Object not key🤔
Notice other defenders on those tds blocking, instead of just celebrating all the way down the field
So how do I set up auto draft for tomorrow night? I may be on the road.
Leagues I was in, any selection you don’t make on time, it automatically auto picks
Hit your teams site and play around with the rankings to how you like them. Can also select how many at each position group if you’d like. Just be sure to hit the autodraft button (or whatever it is called). If you don’t we’ll all be twittling our thumbs waiting for your pick time to run out. And yeah if you can make can turn live.

My thoughts on the 53, a thread:
QB: Kind of the ideal construction of the room. Promising upstart with a steady veteran who can execute the offense in a pinch
RB: Three, three-down players. Smart, vision, feel and passing game prowess present in all three.

WR: Prob my favorite group. Varied talents, tons of speed, capable of giving the defense eye candy to create space pre-snap
TE: I think the entire room compliments Gesicki really well, who’s among the game’s top receiving TEs. RZ threats and good blockers abound

OL: Getting closer to the final phase of a 3-year process of rebuilding the unit top down. Consider the lineup in 2019 compared to today. Reaching their potential is key, but you have to feel good about the developmental outlook. Plus, 2 rooks added to that mix in Liam and Jones

iDL: Depth, power, quickness, front-variability, I’m not sure why more you want. Basically all under contract for foreseeable future

Off-Ball LB: Baker the straw that stirs the drink, Roberts is a sledgehammer, Eguavoen is a threat to rush any gap, Riley speed and ST… theme of depth and varied skills on defense, and it doesn’t stop with our next group

DB: Press, off, zone, man, capable of playing 0, inside/outside, several corner/safety cross-trained players. Deep in a passing league.
Spec: Game’s best kicker, a LS who hasn’t missed a snap, and a punter who was killing the ball in camp
Sounds like a recipe for 20-0 to me
IDL and front7 sounds great, but can you stop the run?
OL same thing on the other side of the ball, can you run the ball (enough to take away the pinned back ear rushers)?
That’s what I’m talking about with Grier, is the grass always greener…
Why the F did they claim this guy? Who will be let go?
Perry will be the next Edelman.
Too slow and no toughness
He was very underwhelming for us last year
It’s not an easy jump from a school like Navy to the NFL, especially if you are switching positions too
We’ll have Bowden next year, we don’t need 2 of them
Over the cap shows us at 2.9m over for top 51, adding the bottom 2 of the 53 leaves us at 1.6m, which is about what it costs to sign the PS
Expect a reworked or new contract for someone like Ogbah b4 the season starts
I’d say Gesicki too, but he doesn’t make enough now to move the needle
Elijah Campbell’s contract is 695k, so nothing really changes there
What do you mean as expected, thought all 31 teams were lining up to get him
I thought one team might. Admitted.
Remember freeman
Let’s hope we don’t kick his tires
Why not? He is very solid and BIG.
Like that PS signing, thought he was too green for 53
I’m Ok with the waiver claim, now that I know we kept Trill

Coach on changes required for Week 1 because of Malcolm Perry going to NE: I wish the best for Malcolm — tough, smart kid. As far as chances, I don’t think there are very many that we’ll have to make.
I’d like to see Perry play week 1, means he one of their top WRs
They don’t have much besides Agholor
Malcom Perry still gonna be at our season opener. Might not be active, but same would probably be true if we didn’t cut him.
He’ll be cut after week 1, when big cheat is done picking his brain
Hope not cause like the kid, but you could be right.
Doaks, Merritt and Sinnet all have a chance of being a part of the teams future now that they are on the PS
That’s a win isn’t it?
For now they’re on the PS
👍
Stanger – No autodraft button.
It might not be called that but there is one. But then last checked was obviously a year ago so could have changed. But man I’m the last guy to ask for tech support…lol. Just know in the past at least have had it on and kept immediately picking when wanted someone else. For you would be the reverse.
I believe the Fins have more talent than the Pets, but it’s Belicheat, and he has two weeks to prepare. I think this game will come down to three things. Like always, win the turnover battle. Then, can we stop the NE rushing attack without having to completely alter our defensive gameplan, and can we protect Tua? If we can do the last two things marginally well, I think we leave NE with a W, but I don’t think we’re blowing them out.
27-17 Dolphins
Teams can also protect up to four players on their practice squad to prevent them from being poached – though that goes into effect on Tuesday each week, so a player a teams wants to protect could still get signed by another team on Monday.
Looks like the PS players make more than I last heard
Younger practice squad players are set to make $9,200 a week this year, while players with over two years of experience in the league will have a weekly salary of $14,000. That equates to $165,600 or $252,000 for the 18 week regular season. That salary is not guaranteed, meaning a practice squad player can be released at any time, and the salary does count against a team’s salary cap.

Know he was bad in other games, but Cam just crushed us in the opener last year. Both on the ground with the RPO and surprisingly in the air. Score didn’t even show how bad it was.
Figured his style of QBing combined with against the guy who sorta designed our defense, or at least perfected it.
So Hell Yeah glad it will be Mac Jones. Think our swirling shifting D is tailor made to give a rook like him his Welcome to the NFL moment.
But if he doesn’t have to throw much or throws when we have 8 in the box, he could have success
We’re 3.5 point dogs…. sure he can have success. My main concern about our D is that it is light, which makes me think vulnerable to power run. That and a great QB…. but what defense is there against that?
But thinking Jones both takes out the RPO option and won’t be Dan Fouts in his first game.
This is a wild stat
Being drafted on the first round, not much more likely to be on a roster than the 3rd round
Look at the UDFA number
😳
If you consider it to just be a success to be on a roster
There’s more 3rd round picks, than there are 1sts
But you get more money 💰
We haven’t even played a third season, we don’t really know what we have, all signs seem we’re heading in the right direction, GM picked coach, coach is coaching, GM seeing if players meet coaches expectations…..
Hmmmmm……first year of rebuild was teardown and add draft capital, second add talent and acquire more draft capital, third season and phase 3 hasn’t played out.
Lol…..plenty of room for criticism!
NE picked up Perry for intel, like they do every fucking year….lmao

Did ORob highjack your account?
No, I just have that feeling. Our team is NEVER ready game one.
I fully expect to start this season 0-2 and in 3rd place in the AFCE. 😦
Maybe even in 4th place at that time depending on how the Jets do against the Panthers.
We have a tough start for sure, but then the first two are against teams in the division. Lets make something happen in one of them.
Never heard of him before, but seems they brought in the crafty vet. He’s 32, originally drafted in the 2nd round and has one good contract behind him. And lots of teams on his resume since. Grew up in Broward County. Maybe this is his “coming home” contract.
He’s a journeyman Edge guy who I believe we had in for a FA visit a few years ago.
I’m sure the bottom of this roster will change a few more times before our first game.
I actually like the fact that our FO is decisive and move on from guys if they see they aren’t a fit for the team.
UsAgainstTheWorld
Phelon : if ya can’t make it , it will auto draft based on your pre set rankings.. no button required ,,, if ya forget to move yer mouse for a few minutes it presume you have left and will go to auto draft
If you enter draft room and need to step away , there is a set to auto button at that time , but as above, so long without movement and it will default there as well. So HINT , even if Live drafting , queue a couple players so it don’t auto draft a kicker 😊
As in your internet crashes^^^
What do you have against drafting kickers? Smartest move is to take 4 of them see who does the best in the first few games. 🙂
Lol .. I think my second year I wanted Vanderjagt bad … I moved him to #1 , and needless to say I GOT HIM …. My we have come a long way 😊
“His playbook was condensed to slants and bubbles. They really wouldn’t let him show his arm. Now in training camp they’re allowing him the opportunity to throw it deep. That’s what we need.”
— Eric Rowe on Tua
The keys for N,E, to beat us is to get in our face, Our OL is the weakest link thru out the positions on the team, with a side arm sub 6′ Tua they will want to get in his face cramming the LOS loading the box. take away the ck downs. make him set up in the pocket and go thru reads. Time is Tua’s enemy. the longer the play takes to develop the worse it gets for Tua.
make him beat you deep as that’s where he struggles. couple that with our OL. it could get very ugly.
But if they load the box aren’t they trying to stop the run? Rushing him I could get, just like with any other QB not named Peyton. Problem is Tua has a quick release.
I like this assessment because it’s a pretty generic way to beat every QB. Time is the enemy of all QBs, a bad OL destroyed even Mahomes, etc, Tua is really good at mid range passes and that’s where I think our speed may benefit. Belichick has to show a defense a long time NE coach never saw. I don’t think he has better tools than the ones Tua faces every day tbh. It will be tough but Tua has grown. Mac will have the harder day.
Dolphin O strategy is to do exactly what Orob predicts…..lmao. Perfect strategy!
M13, here is TM’s trailer for his 2 new album drops this Friday.
You owe me a beer, see my 4:56 post
I think Houston is hedging a great bet on Tua & the Fins,
after week #3 everyone will be screaming for Deshaun Watson! and Miami will have to consider renegotiating and giving Houston what they want.
Think they are betting on his legal troubles to be resolved and trade him then.
In 3 weeks?
Was thinking in the offseason. Or maybe some QB goes down and who knows.
Really looking forward to the season! I can only be positive based on last year and the character and culture this team and players have. Love Flores and our players! Go Fins!!!!!
Ditto!!!
We got a coach and we got a game plan. When’s the last time you felt like that?
Last season. 😉
Ditto! Lol
Looking forward to seeing our top players playing the entire game. Too bad we have to wait another week. It kind of sucks that we have a week off after the final PS game, but it’s good for the teams.

I’d like to see us start the game with Brown in the backfield, 2-TE and run it. Get the OL amped up to get after them and knock them off the ball. Attack rather than react. Then see where we stand and go from there.
If we put up 30 points on the Pats, I’ll be fucking stoked! Maybe it will quiet ORob down some too!
Not if the running game does it 😊
You know what, doesn’t matter. They have to respect the QB in order for the run game to work. They’re not going to stack the box and then we’re going to run for 200 yards. We’d have to have some success throwing the ball in order to run all over the Patriots
I more meant, Orin will still slag on Tua if the running game is the reason … JBB
Or ORob
I really don’t think we’ve seen the O, barely glimpses.
Only Orob knows….lmao!
I’m talking about trying to set the mentality for our guys up front. I want to see the same thing on defense, get after them right away – get in the backfield and in Jones’ face. Make it uncomfortable for them out of the gate. Don’t play like we’re waiting to see what they’re doing and react. Attack!!!
Fucking ayyyyy!
Why am I watching Mike Tannenbaum on ESPN talking about who’s the best young QB in the AFC East? Lmao!
Wondering why I was too
It’s worse than Phil Simms taliking about QBs. At least he was one….sort of.
Pig your link made Fox News
Phil McKraken?
Lol…
BBM,
DAYUM on that link to Tom MacDonald’s new $#!t!!!
“I sense something, a presence I’ve not felt since”… a young buck rapper who I used to know. Oh yes, he’s still alive… it’s just been a long time since he flowed. 😉
No power here since 5:00 PM, EST. Typing on my phone, being it’s the only thing that still has power. The flooding here has been bad, but nothing like a decade ago when I lost my house.
My basement is flooded, but it’s all good… I won’t ever lose my house again with where I live now. However, I fear some residents could be in trouble when it’s all said and done.
Audi, to preserve battery power on my phone.
Mf13 – sorry to hear that. Hope everyone in NJ/NYC is doing ok. first ever Flash Flood Emergency for NYC given? That can’t be good. It’s really coming down here in Mass/RI as well. Going to be a long night.
Phillips looks lost in coverage and gets no push, when he’s a standing rusher, so he’s no LB at this stage, he does however look good with his hand in the dirt
He’s raw as an OLB and missed most of TC. When he gets it, his pure physical ability can be very good.

I like this assessment because it’s a pretty generic way to beat every QB. Time is the enemy of all QBs
_______________________________________-
Yes, however Tua doesn’t have as long as other QBs to get the ball off, when he’s surrounded by giants he can’t get the ball over them due to his short stature and low release.
thats total bullshit, Tua doesnt have a problem, YOU do
Orob, wait until you see my Orob collection I’ve compiled on your obsession with Tua and your opinion. It’s called, “Dog With A Bone”!!!!
SMH
i guess i cant expect honesty or objectivity from someone in slowcala
you have no knowledge of Tua, go back to sucking off the pillow liar guy, he says trump will be reinstated by august 13, set your calendar for august 13th
So DeShaun Watson and his 2″ height advantage and 22 lawsuits who will require 2-3 1st RD and maybe a 2nd RD pick is the safer choice. Yeah, I can follow that logic, right down the sewer . . .
It’s not logic, but appropriate for the sewer! Lol….
lol
in slocala, the sheep are nervous, and the possums look intelligent
Try debating the things that the Orob says, and not just attack him on a personal level. His views on Tua are off the mark, but there’s no need to personally insult him.
we debated all this long ago, at this point, trolls get trolled
Don’t think it’s personal if a disagree with your opinion. Thought that’s what we did here.
If you want me to debate a narrow-minded opinion (and that’s my opinion) about throwing mechanics and big guys in the NFL, regarding Tua, you’ve lost me.
Seems Orob’s opinion is not debatable, imo….lol.
First stanger, now you!
Drone on Orob……your opinion reigns supreme.
Guess my opinion doesn’t count!
Lol!
we cant expect much from slocala, the home of meth and drag queens on welfare
Well just tried to start posting the collection, but failed. 🤔 lol….I’ll find a millennial to help me!

Watson has a way better release than Tua, he has a much stronger arm, more athletic, it isn’t even close, . Watson’s a top 5 QB in this league.
sure the legal issues play into it, but from a football stand point, Tua will never be the QB Watson is
but you said the pillow liar guy knew what he was talking about, lol
we cant trust you anymore
Tua’s skill set is a lot like Drew Brees or Steve Young. each of those guys was the best QB in the league in their prime. There’s a lot of ways to win in this league
Tua is 6-1. That’s not Big Ben of Josh Allen but there are a ton of shorter QBs that have been successful, in this league. Young, Brees, Tarkenton, Russel Wilson, Joe Theisman.
Tua’s accuracy is elite. There’s a lot of good QBs in this league that aren’t even close to his level of accuracy.
He’s also a smart QB so he understands the game and adjusts quickly
And he doesn’t seemed phased by pressure. In all my years of watching football, I’ve never seen some one so unfairly criticized as he was all offseason – what does he do in response, he barely notices. After a week of Watson speculation that drove fans crazy, what does Tua do at a press conference yesterday, he tells everyone he doesn’t have cable and wishes Mac Jones luck. He’s just a little different
Yeah, I’ve expressed the same thing, but you don’t hear me saying it 50 fucking million times….lol!

_________________________________________________________
absolutely correct, I’m talking football, the one’s insulting & screaming “troll” should look in the mirror.
i just ignore and don’t read their comments
your comments on Tua are off the mark, not connected with facts or reality
I’m not attacking you on a personal level….so to be clear. I disagree/attack your opinion…lol. I guess that’s personal, because it’s yours? Are you woke?
I disagree with people in business everyday, express my opinions, they express theirs, and I tell the what I think. I don’t attack their “momma”! But, I disagree and let them know. WTF?
good news, i just checked, orobs name wasnt on the list of marion county mental health escapees,
gonna check the sexual predators list next, since he likes watson so much
That to me is personal, David. Not sure what your problem is.
Describing a “behavior” in a meme “Dog With A Bone” is not. It’s describing a behavior everyone on this blog has witnessed.
IMO, there’s a difference between characterizing someone’s sexual or mental capacity as comparable to misfits or sick people in our society vs one’s opinion on a QB as shit. LMAO….
I think there’s a huge difference.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. It just drags the blog down further and makes a less pleasant experience for the rest of us. You can’t claim the higher road and then wallow in the sewers.
“You can’t claim the higher road and then wallow in the sewers” — Yet apparently people can. 🙂
My assessment of Tua dates back to last year and how he played, i don’t equate anything to preseason.
all you guys being fooled by the tua hype should look at him last year and lose the lame excuses.
if for some miraculous reason the tiger does change his stripes so be it.
I just see the same Tua as last year.
when we play real football and teams design their D to stop him, that’s when reality will set in, we shall see.
i expect all you trolls to get on your knees and apologize to me when you realize i am correct.
you have shown to be ignorant, and Your logic sucks
I’m sorry you feel that way David.
And, I expect the same from you, Orob…..we shall see. I have no problem admitting my mistakes and owning my errors. I hope you don’t either.
Hope you’re at the Fest so we can settle up.
why all this hype about Watson going to Miami? I’m more than certain Miami inquired about trading for Watson.
what does that tell you?
it tells me they are not sold on Tua!
it tells me that you are one of watsons masseuses, lol
gross!
2 days ago the trade was imminent and now it’s been downgraded to stories about how Miami actually wanted Watson
The people who were spreading the rumor moved the goal posts to keep people reading and clicking after the deadline passed
That should shed light on what they are spreading now. The stories that Miami was interested or pursued Watson have zero credibility
There are numerous ex apples this off-season. Of the team showing they are committed to Tua and on the other side really flimsy rumors about Watson
The hype was likely created by Watson camp or the Texans to create some interest when there really wasn’t any before the cut deadline

No way Hos`e,
Brees and Young threw over hand, Tua throws semi side arm, big difference
Orob, you said gas going up 10 cents a gallon would lead to economic ruin, yet the markets have been setting all time records lately
your bias, forces you to be incorrect, You are your own worst enemy at finding facts

______________________________
i would guess you missed his performance last year, and for the interest of the blog, hold the lame excuses, he sucked last year, 3 of the 9 games he started he threw for less than 100 yards! got the hook twice.
not sure how you arrive at;
“so unfairly criticized”
he was 6-3 last season, not bad for a rookie coming off a serious injury
he doesnt need your assessment to match reality, he will be fine without You
His numbers were very similar to Joe Burrows and he won a lot more games
Burrow played on a crappy team and still avg 270 ypg, Tua avg 200 yards per game on a fairly decent team.
do the math before you comment!
Yeah that’s a typical rookie year of ups and downs
Peyton Manning threw 28 interceptions as a rookie. In his second season people were talking about taking a step forward and he did and the test is history
What happens now is unique to our time. You can spread rumors by hitting the retweet button. 24 hour radio stations have to compete with podcast and say controversial things: you have to be controversial to get ratings now so you get hacks like cowherd. And then they report people’s opinions on nfl live and sport center like it’s facts and not inflammatory editorials trying to generate attention
Tua is just a rookie going through rookie ups and downs. But in this media environment, everything is defcon 4
That’s unfair criticism
forget all that, he has yet to show he can compete at the NFL level, remember his last game? the Buffalo drubbing?
for you to imply that he’s like a Brees or Young is unfair hype, he has yet to show he can even play in this league.
saying he’s a hall of famer is ridiculous!
Watson’s arm is not much stronger than Tua’s they are about the same. Athletically they are very similar. Watson is 2 inches taller
no way, watson is a top 5 qb in this league, tua is about 32nd
That’s not responsive to what he said. He’s just talking about arm strength
Watson is not josh Allen, Joe flacco, Big Ben or Carson wentz
Those guys have cannons – but their not necessarily top tier QBs
Tua is NOT 32nd, did you even look at ANY facts?
Tua’s arm isn’t weak either, it’s just not his best attribute
His accuracy is off the charts
Speaking of arm strength
I still think Joe Flacco may have had the strongest arm of any one I can remember coming into this league
It didn’t make him an Elite QB
Didn’t he win a Superbowl?
according to next get stats, Tua led the NFL on target completion percentages where the receiver was open less than one yard
Tua can thread the needle, put the ball in super tight spaces
Still 7 spots to fill. As of 6:15am this is our PS:
Quarterback
Reid Sinnett (per Cameron Wolfe)
Running back
Gerrid Doaks (per Barry Jackson)
Patrick Laird (per Jackson)
Jordan Scarlett (per Jackson)
Wide receiver
Kirk Merritt (per Jackson)
Tight end
—
Offensive line
Adam Pankey (per Travis Wingfield)
Durval Queiroz Neto (per Jackson)
Defensive line
Jabaal Sheard (per Joe Schad)
Linebacker
Shaquem Griffin (per Tom Pelissero)
Calvin Munson (per Jackson)
Cornerback
Javaris Davis (per Jackson)
Safety

UPDATED: 6:15 AM EST (09/02/2021)
Actually 8 spots cause Neto don’t count.
This was from Dolphinswire. Not sure if there is a better list.
3 RBs waiting in line just in case. Guess if you have that you can go with just 3 on game day.
Roster set and back to Tua talk. 🙂
To me saying that “Tua has to do better than last year to be THE guy” is fair.
To say “That’s all Tua is ever going to be” is not.
He was a rook in his first half season.
Why use reason, stangerx? Or is that being too personal?
Reason is the way I roll, or at least try too. But have been known to have a semi-irrational mancrush on a kicker or two.
Ken, i hate to say this but you should look into selling your Tua pajamas.
Ken wears pj’s?
Is this how rumors spread?
Ken do have little hulksters on them🤢
Who says I wear anything at all
But I was talking football ORob
He’s as guilty as anyone crossing some imaginary “Orob rule”…..lol.
I totally apologize to you and your pajamas, LMAO!
