Season of discontent continues its downward spiral

Disappointment heaped upon disappointment. That’s what the 2021 Miami Dolphins season has become. This author is having a difficult time finding a bright spot to focus on to assist him in getting past this current 1-7 record, and the organizational dysfunction from the the top (Owner Stephen Ross) all the way down from the GM (Chris Grier), Head Coach (Brian Flores), the OCoCo’s (George Godsey & Eric Studesville), the DCo (Josh Boyer), the STCo (Danny Crossman), the rest of the assistant coaches and of course our players. It has been a failure at every avenue, not one good unit to look at and say “Well, at least the ____ is playing well. 29th in points scored and the same 29th in points allowed. 1 year ago, we were SIXTH in points allowed, SIXTH!!!! We were 15th in points scored, midpack.

In addition to the poor play of our football team, we have the team owner calling a QB on a different team on the phone to talk, a QB who is embroiled in a legal mess as he faces 22 civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct.

Mathematically, this team can still salvage a better than .500 season, which seems more ridiculous at this point than our current record of 1-7. If Xavien Howard doesn’t force that fumble, and recover it Game 1 in Foxborough we’re 0-8 folks!!! How have we fallen so far, so fast? Coach Flo looked he had this team on the upswing. Yes, lots of moves were made, but think about the players besides Kyle Van Noy that were traded or cut. Shaq Lawson was not good last season, he had a very subpar season for our Dolphins last year. Benardrick McKinney hasn’t seen the field and he’s healthy in 2021. Ryan Fitzpatrick is on IR for the season. I’d say one guy who may have helped this season may be C Ted Karras but even has only started 4 games this season, played in all 8. What’s basically happened is we have just regressed in every facet of the game. At this juncture, it’s hard to think anyone who is part of this team or organization is safe, all ripe to be fired, traded, or cut, sans the owner who unfortunately can’t be replaced until he decides to sell.

The vaunted secondary, second to none. X has 2 INT’s, and Elandon Roberts who appeared to be the target has one INT, and the rest ZERO. Yes, ZERO! The LB’s we thought were going to wreak havoc on NFL QB’s this season. Andrew Van Ginkel or (AVG at best) has 1/2 a sack. Rookie pass rush terror Jaelan Phillips has 1.5 sacks. Jerome Baker who has been injured most of the season has 1 sack. Emmanuel Ogbah leads the team with 2.5 sacks. Team can still focus and double team Ogbah while tight ends or RB’s can keep Phillips at bay. Shaq Lawson didn’t get it done in 2020 and the combo of AVG and Jaelan Phillips aren’t getting it done in 2021. Christian Wilkins has played OK, and Raekwon Davis was injured and gets a pass. Rookie safety Jevon Holland has been somewhat of a bright spot showing above average athletic ability but I’ve seen him toasted quite a few times. He hasn’t done anything extraordinary yet but he seems to have a good trajectory.

I think we have talent on this team, I really do. I think the coaches have dropped the ball this season, and I believe most of them, if not all of them will pay for that with their jobs. The CoCo’s will be gone. Josh Boyer has a bit of time to fix this defense but more than likely he’s gone too. Whether Head Coach Brian Flores can survive depends on the next 9 games and how the team does in them. He has a chance to come back. If he somehow survives, does GM Chris Grier keep his job? At the moment we have the #12 pick via SF. The Philadelphia Eagles own our 1st RD pick currently at #3. Truth is, while I’d love to have the better pick, we’d find some way to fuck it all up, as it appears we have been doing the last few years. in 2020 we had THREE 1st Round picks. We have an average young QB (Tua Tagovailoa) with our #5 pick. We have a struggling LT (Austin Jackson) who is now playing LG with our #18 pick and we have a defensive back (Noah Igbinoghene) who has only played and been active in 2 games thus far in 2021 after playing sparingly in 2020. Does it matter how low or high picks are for that matter how many when you continue to strike out? Out of the three first rounders, none of them are excelling to the point where they are considered a blue chip player. With our 2 second round picks in 2020 we have 2 starters, RG Robert Hunt and NT Raekwon Davis. Neither has been excellent, Hunt has struggled quite a bit lately at RG while Raekwon Davis showed lots of promise last season and was injured early this season and is slowly regaining his form. 2020 3rd RD pick Brandon Jones is slowly becoming part of the defense and has potential to steal the job from veteran Eric Rowe which could potentially give the Dolphins a nice young safety tandem of Holland and Jones.

The 2021 draft doesn’t seem as bad as the 2020 draft class. Jaylen Waddle is getting lots of targets, but far too many of them are within 10 yards of the LOS. It’s not a Tua, or a Waddle problem folks, it’s an O-line failure. Jaelan Phillips came to the Dolphins as a very athletic, diversified pass rusher. So far, he’s been stifled. He supposedly has a nice pass rush repertoire but it hasn’t been effective as of yet. S Jevon Holland seems to be the darling of this draft so far. OT Liam Eichenberg has played a lot but hasn’t shown he belongs at any particular O-line spot, whether it’s LT, LG, or RT. We’ll see if he develops. Honestly, it’s hard to gauge a player when a unit is playing so poorly, and our O-line has been the worst offender. TE Hunter Long who was hailed as the Gesicki replacement hasn’t quite hit the field running, and has been mostly inactive. You better hope he’s not the guy that replaces Mike Gesicki!!! The other 2 picks, OT Larnel Coleman and RB Gerrid Doaks haven’t seen the field and their fortunes or misfortunes remain to be seen.

All in all, 2 very disappointing drafts, probably much more with the 2020 draft class, considering we had a treasure trove of picks to improve our team and it’s yet to materialize. Chris Grier has to take the hit on that. If somehow he manages to keep his GM post, I’d expect our record at the end of the season will have to be much closer to .500 than it currently is. Same goes for Coach Flo, who built this coaching staff and elected to have Co Offensive Coordinators. That contemporary style most likely won’t be seen again in the NFL. This week we play the even more inept Houston Texans, whose QB our wonderful owner has outwardly courted. Oh, he doesn’t actually play for the Texans, but maybe he will eventually now that we didn’t actually trade for him. He’s been inactive all season so the Texans can, you know, trade him. Well, now, maybe their supposed top 10 QB will hit the field for his team. It won’t happen this week which means our putrid team will probably find it’s only week in which we will be the favorites this season. I’m so excited!!!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

      Thanks, the Knicks have an extremely deep roster. Great depth that most teams can’t match. Not the best starting 5 in the league but the quality of their bench is better than most teams can muster.

  1. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    are we claiming OBJ?

  2. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    I didn’t get to post a music video last night so here is Canadian Brandon Hart’s new release 2 days ago. Easy listening.

  3. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Piggy, put this guy in your top 5 Samurai list. We will need to draft 1 or 2 WR’s this next draft.

    Jameson Williams!

    He was stuck behind Olave and Garrett at Ohio State his first 2 seasons so he transferred to Alabama after they lost Waddle and Devonta Smith. Now, he is a 1st year starter at Alabama as a junior.

    I said yesterday he reminds me of a Devonta Smith because of his build, 6’2 189. The combination of his height and speed is rare. He runs in the 4.3’s and very well could push a low 4.3. He also is their KR. This kid has major upside.

    He has 35 rec for 710, 20.3 average and 6 TD’s. KR’s he is averaging 39.4.

  4. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Think this is the best I have come up with so far.

    13. Charles Cross OT Mississippi State
    34. Devin Lloyd LB Utah
    99. Jameson Williams WR Alabama
    105. Jerome Ford RB Cincinnati
    119. Phidarian Mathis DT Alabama
    145. Calvin Austin III WR Memphis
    179. Steven Gilmore CB Marshall
    197. Brennan Armstrong QB Virginia
    222. Isaiah Foskey EDGE Notre Dame

  5. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    As much as I like and have been hyping Kenneth Walker III, I don’t think he is elite enough to take him at #34.

    That led me to Jerome Ford of Cincinnati. Yeah, we got Doaks from Cincy but Ford is a different animal. Ford was stuck behind Najee Harris at Alabama so he transferred. He has size and speed, 5’11 220 and runs in the 4.4’s possibly low 4.4. He is not dynamic in any special way. He is just a big back with some speed who I think would really compliment who we have now.

    He has 860 yards with 6.4 average and 14 TD’s, 13 rec for 102 and 1 TD.

    • Phindog's avatar Phindog says:

      Well, we haven’t heard from Walker in years. 😎 I met him in person and he is a cool dude. I don’t think that he can run a sub 4.40 but what he does for his community is pretty awesome 🐕

  6. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Phidarian Mathis would be a good addition to our DL. He is a big body run stuffer at 6’4 320. Not as good as Barmore out of Alabama but same body type. Does have 4.5 sacks so far this season out of the NT/DT position.

  7. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    This is why I drop a person who misses a FF game cause of hamstring problems unless absolutely have to keep. Once they go they are likely bad for the rest of the season. Can come back and play for a while and then “boom….the guy is out again.”

    And as in Parker’s case — guys at speed positions who get leg injuries like that in one season tend to get them in others. Not sure if genetics, how they train or how they play….. but way it is.
    ——————————————–

    “Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker, who already has missed three games with a hamstring injury this season, will miss at least three more. The Dolphins placed Parker on injured reserve on Friday after he re-aggravated his hamstring injury in practice this week.”

    Maybe TikTok is good for something. The girl could have put that out to me 20 times and I’d be like “WTF.”

    Link to the hand signal at the end.
    ——————————————-
    A missing North Carolina teen was rescued after she used a viral TikTok hand gesture to indicate she was in danger and needed help.

    The 16-year-old was found in Kentucky on Thursday after a 911 caller reported that a female passenger riding in the car ahead of them was using the signals. According to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, investigators on the scene found the driver, 61-year-old Herbert Brick, in possession of a photo of the teen engaged in sexual acts.

    The teen was first reported missing by her parents in Asheville, North Carolina, on Tuesday

  10. lol John Pussybach is no walter cronkrite
    they are opposites

    Cronkite was famous for his hard hitting vietnam coverage,
    while nixon and the silent idiots were falsely claiming the war was winding down, it was expanding to other nations and Cronkite revealed the truth in video on the nightly news

    bit wikipedia is correct in their assessment of the 32 year old fake news troll posobiec, and some of the right wingnuts are even more whacked out than He

    quanon is saying JFK will come back to life and help them? lolol JFK was a democrat that died in the early 60,s , hes not coming back to help republicans now

    Posobiec ( and quanon ) is a meathead, dead from the neck up, lol

  11. Protzman is said to believe the Kennedy family are descendants of Jesus Christ and projected they would reappear on Nov. 2.

    The believers flocked to Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In 1999, JFK Jr. died at age 38 in a plane crash that also killed his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren.

    Many QAnon supporters believe JFK Jr. spent the last two decades in hiding and would reappear to be reinstated as former President Donald Trump’s vice president, according to various reports.

    Some members of the Tuesday crowd wore “Trump/JFK Jr. 2024” shirts and “Make America Great Again” hats, according to photos on social media.

    On Nov. 1, Protzman posted a photo of himself to his Telegram channel holding a trophy inscribed with: “The Gematria General: God communicates in numbers and Trump does too.” He also uses his social media platform to spread antisemitic content, according to Vice.

    Social media videos of Protzman the night before and at the rally show him talking almost incoherently, in a mix of words and numbers as supporters nearby nod in agreement.

    To no one’s surprise other than believers waiting in the plaza, JFK Jr. did not show up to the Dallas rally on Nov. 2

    JUST finished John Grisham’s latest effort, THE JUDGE’s LIST. IMHO, it is one of his best novels ever!! Most of it takes place in Florida. And it features a prominent judge who is accused of being a serial killer. Only 357 pages, so a few hours a day for 2-3 days is all that it takes! Ken, I think YOU, in particular, would like this book, as would the Flying Pig!

    Don’t know if any of y’all caught this: last night, Raiders CB Damon Arnette posted the following on one of his social media accounts, threatening to kill fans posting on his DMs (Direct Messages)… just WOW! SMH! I’d predict that he will be cut very soon.

    What Damon Arnette posted was probably career suicide. What’s worse… he gon’ have some mofoz after him if the fan or fans are gang-affiliated. That’s some street-cred to take out a #1 Draft pick (multi-millionaire) in the NFL: Arnette may have signed his death warrant.

      • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

        AMEN to that, sincerely. Sadly and unfortunately, it’s a right of passage for so many who live in the ghetto. But dammit, once ya make your first 100K (and in this case, multi-million $ contract), why doesn’t the light come on to CHANGE LIFESTYLES? I’ll never understand that, man.

        E-40 made his first $1M, and he moved his whole family out of the ghetto… THAT is what should be done, instead of constantly living a thug/gangsta mentality.

        To be fair, it happens to ALL races… this thug/gangsta mentality, having lived in the ghetto for so long. Plus, the media has actually GLORIFIED the thug/gangsta mentality through music and movies. It’s deeply saddening to me.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Agreed. White kids who live in the mid west farm country get into the thug/gansta mentality. It’s all so stupid and dangerous.

      • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

        Too right, man… and we’re seeing the degradation of society as a whole as a result. Why? Because this thug/gangsta shit has become popularized by the music industry and the movie/video industry (ie: pop culture via the MSM).

        I used to idolize 2Pac in my younger days as a result. I still respect what he stood for in essence (not the gangsta shit), but he damn near had me going full-blown gangsta in my early 20s. These early 20-somethings (just as we all were) are so very impressionable, and they’re being brain-washed with violence… which is NEVER the answer.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Yep! Lots of hypocrisy out there. Hollywood is against gun violence and for more gun control but they profit off of producing the worst gun violence there can be. They love guns and go out of there way to focus on guns by clicking them in scenes more than anyone ever has to. Hypocrites!!!

    • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

      Unless we win out (highly unlikely), I’m right there with ya: it really doesn’t matter. Only thing I DO want to see? Tua ball out.

      • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

        And yes, it’s going to be highly difficult to evaluate Tua behind this atrocious O-Line and with some of our top WRs MIA.

    CONGRATS to Herdfan for Marshall’s victory over FAU. I was truly shocked that this inconsistent FAU team was favored in this game. This edition of the Owls football team lacks consistency and focus, a trademark of Willie Taggert’s teams at every stop he’s made in the coaching world. STUPID penalties are his trademark. I am hoping he gets canned after this season so that FAU can have a new hierarchy in place for their inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference two years from now. As for Taggert, I would NOT be shocked if Steve Ross picked him to be the Fins next head coach. Ross’s propensity for picking THE WRONG PEOPLE to run his franchise would be extended, I am sorry to say.

The other team has an owner who considered acquiring the very same sex offender!!!

    UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    I’d guess the “over and under” number for fannies in their seats at kickoff is about 15,000. I’m gonna take the “UNDER!” Not even the first year Dolphins’ team (1966) had this low number of people for any football game. It’s INCREDIBLE how far this once great franchise has fallen!

    Tua and Parker sitting on the bench

  46. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Tua probably hit his finger on a helmet or something like that. It happens. If this was a big game he probably plays. But as we know, it’s a not a big game.

  47. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Line moved from us by 5.5 down to up by 4.5 “within seconds” of the announcement of Tua not starting.

    Truthfully didn’t think that much for a starting QB.

    Waddle does not look like he has 4.3 speed on that KR

    Holland and Jones great play

    Preston Williams inactive today. Was a surprise based on the week’s reports, but then it really wasn’t.

  54. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Hey Piggie, 1st down draw play 😱

  55. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Pay the man !!!!

  56. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    This coaching staff benched Gaskin earlier this season

  57. Tua probably has a middle finger injury, from flipping off Ross too much.

  58. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    I think we found our true FS is Holland.

  59. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    i think due to tuas weak arm and the fact that teams are on to it playrd a factor in him being a back up

  60. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Bad protection

    And bad throw

  61. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    What is wrong with this OL

    They really can’t protect

  62. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Brissett throws a deep ball … oh wait

  63. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I’m rooting against every team with a winning record today

  64. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    They always blitz on 3rd down and give up 1st downs

  65. Orob, its impossible to respect Your opinion, when you are caught being dishonest

  66. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Shaheen started the day instead of Gesicki

    Great coaching…

  67. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    That time the 3rd down blitz worked

    Let me tell you opposing teams. Just throw a slant on 3rd down and you’ll be fine

    So you don’t say stuff like this to get backlash?
    ___________________________________________
    why do you feel the need to give me backlash for my football opinion? i’m not saying anything negative about anyone except tuas ability to run this offense, so your misguided train of thought is you feel that gives you the right to attack me for that.

  69. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    what you lack to understand, the reaction of other teams based on your play, they are stacking the box on tua, brissett has an arm, they cant do that with him. all i’m saying is that has to be tken into consideration by the coach, just like gesicki has gotten limited play due to lack of blocking.

  70. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Boring run plays on the first couple of downs so we have to try to convert every 3rd down

    Not only does it put pressure on us to convert
    But when there is a turnover it’s over

  71. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    If they threw a slant there it would have been a TD

  72. Orob, Tua isnt playing today,

    and after You said You werent going to bash him anymore, You cant stop doing it

  73. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    ORob, Tua ia not playing and you’re still bashing him during the game. Then you say Brissett’s INT was as good as a punt. Do teams normally punt on 2nd down? It’s obvious what you’re doing and then you act like a victim. It’s old already.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      Was as good as a punt on 2nd down no less…

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      you’ve been bashing the coaching staff for the last couple of days and that’s your right, so why are the rules different for me, you make no sense.
      and for the record i’m not bashing Tua the person, i just don’t like how he plays football.

      i’m surprised this has to be pointed out to you.
      both you and david bash the hell out of people on this roster. you do it but you dont like it when i do it.
      that makes you a hypocrite.

      saying tua has a weak arm is the truth, that’s not bashing him.

  74. Merritt open over the top for the score, but brissett underthrew, SMH

  75. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Lol, this offense sucks so hard

  76. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I mean I don’t expect a lot from Brisset so he’s playing fine as far as I’m concerned

    But he is unquestionably the lesser QB in the roster
    We get worse when he plays

  77. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I’m less concerned about the QB play as I am
    The playcalling in the game, both defensively and offensively

    Those blitzes every 3rd down are going to be exposed this game – just watch

  78. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Seiler should get credit for that sack

  79. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    it was in interception, and it happened on second down, i like the play because it got waddle down field and stretched the D, something we haven’t been doing.
    to look at it from a positive standpoint it was as good as a punt.
    get over it already

  80. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    If Tua had thrown that INT would have been because of his weak ass arm

  81. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    It worked bc they knocked it down

    But I hate that defensive with 8 guys on the LOS like that
    Can’t we generate pressure without blitzing the entire team

  82. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    TIM, HOW DARE YOU BASH TE COACHES AND FO

    I’m still pissed off at the FO and the coaches

  83. Holland had the ball between his legs and couldnt find it? SMH

  84. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    It’s unreal how shitty this team is. 3 turnovers already

  85. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    ORob, you’re a trip. Nobody is buying your nonsense. LOL

    I think Brissett should throw a deep pick on 1st down so at least we’re stretching the field. LOL

  86. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    1st down draw

    Can’t go to long without it

  87. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Holy shit! Wilson made a play sort of…

  88. lol what a game, two teams that suck, trying to do everything they can to lose the game

  89. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Maybe it’s just from watching this team so much

    But I find them to be very predictable on both sides of the ball

  90. Davis and Eichenberg whiffed their blocks

  91. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Omg Gesicki

  92. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    oh my, an 18 yard pass! so that’s what that looks like!

  93. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Wow, what a catch

  94. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Ogbah having another great game.
