    This place is a roller coaster, right now we are riding high, everyone has the peaches and cream mindset. but just 7 short weeks ago “it puts the lotion in the basket” mindset. most were kicking this team in the teeth.

    until we win something of importance i think somewhere around even keel is the best mindset. it’s best to tend to go lower when everyone is high and higher when everyone is low.
    try to even out the hills and valleys.

      Everyone is different. I’m enjoying this win streak, but I know we can’t let down for a second. That doesn’t stop me from enjoying what we’ve done. Still, Beating TEN in their house will be a tough task, but at least we don’t have to go up against Derrick Henry. BTW, we have won something of importance, all 7 games in a row. Now that we’re relevant and in the playoff picture, these next 2 are even harder. I hope we’re up to the task.

    • sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

      People are happy we have a shot at the playoffs after starting 1-7 and rightfully so. They were unhappy that we were 1- 7 after having a 10 win season and rightfully so. This team deserved every bit of it’s criticism and every bit of it’s praise.
      When people are adults they can hold both opinions and give honest critiques. Should we not be able to enjoy this team until they go undefeated and win a Super Bowl?

    Yessir, and that’s something many of the tallest QBs need to overcome. And clearly, it’s something that Mike Glennon has never overcome at 6’7″.

    That’s because 18″ of it is neck.

    Every time I see Jeff Darlington’s name, I’m reminded of the tie he traveled to MIssissippi to stir up rumors about Brett Favre coming to the Dolphins and got a door shut in his face.

    “You’re from Miami?” Favre asked. “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

    lol

  4. only a lonely jets fan like orob, wouldnt find happiness in a 7 game win streak

    i mean how could he, when gas went up 10 cents a gallon and gave him economic ruin?

    a big part of it, is because Tua made him look stupid, so he doubles down on dumb to avoid admitting when hes wrong

  5. the NFL has never had a QB over 6 6 that was any good, but have had many QB less than 6 2 that were good

    the NFL isnt the NBA,

    QB.s dont have to box out under a 10 foot rim

    but they DO have to avoid the pass rush, and a Flutie or Murray type athlete, is better suited for that

  6. Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

    I find it difficult to understand how some can’t see a 7 game win streak following a 7 game losing streak, righting the ship, so to speak, a “lollipop” thing. Must always see the world as a glass half empty.

    Too bad, so sad…lol!

    ….no matter what happens next, the team made a statement. I’m all for that!

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      i see the dolphins world as the glass half empty right now, when we were 1-7 i saw it as half full.
      i know this contradicts your point of view but it’s how i roll.

      • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

        Like I said, I find it difficult to understand.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        look at it this way, if you are starting out in life, working. wouldn’t it be better to have the mindset of a glass half full, or would you pity yourself with a glass half empty?
        on the other hand if you were at the top of your game and wanted to stay there wouldn’t it be better to view it as a glass half empty to keep you on your toes?

      • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

        NO! Absolutely not!

        I would prefer to acknowledge where I’m at, look myself in the mirror, and evaluate whether I want to change. Simple….

  7. Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

    Perhaps, a different view or question might be….can they take the next step?

    How does one keep a team together, buy in to effort after being 1-7, and dealing with trade rumor drama from mgt, to win next 7?

    Next step and new psyche for this organization are the next 2 games….are they there? We shall see….

  8. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    i think this offense is very challenged. the defense has been carrying this team.
    the offense seems to rely too heavy on trickery and misdirection instead of smash mouth dominance. i just don’t see teams like that on the next level.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      You need the horses up front Rob. They’re the same reason why we can’t run, and why we have this short passing game. It’s predicated on getting rid of the ball very quickly. It’s designed to cut down on sacks and getting the QB killed. We need to upgrade the O-line, I’m sure it will be a huge priority next season

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        this team is structured around Tua, the OL doesn’t know if it’s a run or pass, they play the same every down, they don’t fire off the ball, this RPO deal is the problem but we have to play this type due to Tua.
        it all falls back on his lack of arm strength IMO.

  9. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    it’s stupid to see some of these posters who disagree with an opinion which has nothing to do with them go on the offensive. they seem to be insulted by an opinion about a game so they turn it into a personal matter and retaliate. and there are others around here who are of higher intelligence who refrain from that, and kudos to them.

    if i disagree with an opinion, i’ll try to reasonably explain my disagreement, if i think that opinion is outlandish i don’t respond.

    • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

      Random….lol.

      Are you telling me I can’t disagree with your opinion and state as much because that offends you? Lmao!

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        no, i just don’t understand why you feel offended by my opinion? you’re the one who takes offense by a football post and retaliates personally.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        i get it though, because you disagree with my post you want to show the world how great you are. so in your mind kicking me down achieves that.
        it’s a common character flaw.
        they call it small mans disease. or inferiority complex.
        you feel inferior so you try to drag me down to your level instead of rising to mine

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        No, he’s telling you it’s his opinion, it’s not meant to be right or wrong, it’s meant to be his view on the situation

        Not sure why so many get their panties in a knot over opinions

        Hey Jim, how do you feel about the Fins O?

        Jim: OL is playing great, can’t believe turn around

        George: you’re wrong the OL sucks…

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        Krishna, you remind me of David level posts, i know you’re smarter than that and just may be unaware so i’m pointing it out

    • lol nice try

      we NOTICE when you DOUBLE down on DUMB

      heres a dime for your economic ruinous gas fund

  10. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I don’t think having a revolving door on the OL is the answer, they need to play as a group. it takes time to achieve that. sure we may plug in one or at most two, but they had better be vets.

  11. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Watching Book on Monday reminded me of Tannehill, bails too early and to the outside, 10 yards from LOS, so that the D has a chance to catch up before he gets any yards

    Tua scrambles forward, so once clear, he’s close enough to LOS to run and pick up yards or pick apart thru the air

    When watching Tua do this I get excited mid play, because something good usually follows

    Watching film study videos of Tua, they show him using his eyes to move defenders and throw open his receivers

    His intangibles are off the chart and have as much to do with the winning streak as anything

    Put Herbert or Burrow on this O and would be surprised, if they are as good

  12. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Jalen Phillips didnt show up on the stat sheet, but he was close a few times.
    ——————————————
    That was because he was up against Terron Armstead.

  13. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    I think a RB room with Duke, Lindsay, Penny, and Gaskin would be excellent AND not cost much.

    Penny is a big back and fast.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      I don’t think we need that top 5 or even top 10 RB. We just need a staple of RB’s other team’s have to respect.

      With the addition of Duke and Lindsay, team’s are already having to respect our run game.

  14. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    i thought Book has talent. peyton knows how to recruit qbs

  15. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    This D had Book under extreme pressure, especially with both starting tackles out for N.O.
    got to give Flores credit for his D, it may be the best D in the league.
    I just thought Book did a good job considering the circumstances.

  16. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I don’t think i’ve seen a better defense this year, i wonder where we are in sacks, we have to be among the leagues best.

  17. sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

    BBM,
    I’d still love to draft a Javonte Williams type.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      Yeah, that would be nice. I think there may be some mid round guys who could fit that bill like Ford from Cincinnati. I am interested in seeing how he does vs Alabama. QB Desmond Ridder as well where I think this game will have a huge impact on his draft status.

  19. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    I don’t believe Penny is the answer at RB. I am not opposed to signing him but his history suggests he is not a #1 back. I think we need to have that guy who is the feature back going forward. We have neglected that position for all 3 years of this current FO and we need to correct it

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      we need a derrick henry powerhouse, unfortunately that’s not how this offense rolls, they don’t try to over power you they try to out finesse you.
      it all falls back to the RPO, and the reason we run that has to do with Tua’s arm strength.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      The teams that are winning SBs don’t seem to take that route, they seem to find the guy that works in their system

      Cheats tried with Michel, but got rid of him, others have done the same

      When you have that highly drafted RB you have to feed them, and at times it hurts your O

      Then they finally start to make a difference like for Dal/NYG/Rams then get hurt

      I want a few RBs that get the job done, about like what we have now

      Get rid of Brown and bring in Penney, would work for next year

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      Ken, we can all agree that Penny is not a #1 but a RB room with Duke, Lindsay, Penny and Gaskin would be really good once we fix the OL. Add another RB with our 3rd or 4th round pick to upgrade more.

      IMO, Seattle has stuck with Penny this long so there is something they really like about him. I think they resign him anyway.

  20. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    BBM I would love to get Armstead at LT and draft a RT. You can also move Eich to RT

  21. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I really like Duke Johnson as our starting RB. that’s huge moving forward, he will take some of the pressure of Tua.

  22. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I’m pumped to see how this D gets after the greatly oblivious to the pass rush Tannehill. i hope they have a stretcher for him.

  23. Tua haters BBM and OROB

    try to understand some Dolphin fans LIKE to win games, and like our current team

    obviously its not You guys that like to praise the losers

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      Go back over every blog for the last 12 months and tell me if you find anything negative I have said about Tua.

      I said you can’t judge someone’s talent based on one play and that makes me a Tua hater?

      I almost bought his fucking Jersey when I went to the Jets game. I didn’t though cuase I had never had a Marino jersey so I bought a Marino throwback jersey instead. I guess that makes me a Tua hater also because I picked Dan the Man over Tua.

      You are such a child. Time to take off your onesie and go to work little boy.

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

    BBMike

    I don’t think Armstead was active against us. I didn’t see him

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      I don’t remember either. I guess their backup LT didn’t do half bad then. Can’t say the same for the backup RT though. You could say that their backup RT played as well (or as poorly) as our starting RT. Not good.

  25. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    I think this D is very complicated, and takes time to learn all the nuances. Therefore resigning Ogbah is critical for not having a slow start! And another learning curve!

    Sign a starting caliber RT!

    Resign the key FA’s that contribute!

    Draft BPA!!!!!!!!

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

    I tend to think you start the off-season by re-singing guys like ogbah too

    Then turn to how you can improve OL
    The hopefully we can use the draft to fill out some other places

    I don’t think a trade down is out of the question this year if we are thinking about multiple skill positions (WR & RB) or additional pass rushers in the draft . If we had 3 picks in the top 60, we can add a lot of talent.

  27. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    I think there were a few players on offence that did not buy in on the scheme / play calls / whatever they didn’t like!

    Flores is definitely not going to be for everyone! That should be the first thing we ask any FA thinking of coming in!

    Are you going to buy into the SYSTEM????

    If not fuck off!

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

      I’m not sure the system on offense is firmly set in place

      Defensively we have a real identity – basically we can ask defensive free agents, do you like blitzing?….lol

      • Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

        I think the revolving OC door has a lot to do with our problems on offense.

        If we change it again are we just inviting another learning curve / frustrating start to the season?

      • Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

        Everyone asked were Phillips was!

        Well I say him drop into coverage a lot Monday night!

        Some Rushers aren’t going to be OK with that!

  28. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    David did you wake up this morning and decided to piss in the cornflakes? And I don’t really disagree with your football opinions but I disagree with the antagonism in which they are posted. I too have been guilty of being antagonistic at times as well. The one take away from Stanger’s current situation that I have taken is to appreciate all the bloggers here even the ones I disagree with. Stanger loves this blog and that is my way of trying to carry on his spirit here in his absence until he returns.

  29. sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

    The crazy thing about Duke Johson is we haven’t really used him in the passing game much. The guy averaged over 50 catches a season in Houston with nearly a 10 yard avg.

    HC Brian Flores Wednesday December 29 media availability thread
    9:31 AM · Dec 29, 2021·Twitter Web App

    Travis Wingfield

    Coach on John Madden — sad day for football. The amount of lives he touched as a coach, a person, a husband, a father…he’s up there on the Mount Everest of coaching, commentating. I never met him but from all the things I’ve heard he’s an even better human being.

    One of the top defensive players in the league — Coach Flores on Jeffery Simmons.

    Cethan Carter, Duke Riley, Robert Jones, Justin Coleman and Greg Mancz will all come off the COVID list today and return to the Dolphins, per Coach Flores.

    Coach on weather for Sunday’s game: put some thermals on, put a hoodie on and get out there.

    and i think we’re still getting better!

  33. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    we blitz 39.2 % of the time, # 2 in the NFL

  34. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    We will have to pressure RT but we won’t be able to do it with 3 or 4 like in the Saints game. They have much better receivers on the boundary we have to account for also. Going to be a tough game.

  35. sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

    Regardless of how this season pans out, we are in a good position next season to really solidify this team and take the next step. We can re-sign a lot of guys to this roster and still have money to grab the FA’s we need for the o-line and another WR or too. I’d like to see a draft with WR, RB, Edge, CB, SS, OL in no particular order. Brandon Jones is young and has done a good job, but I think we can upgrade there if a stud falls to us. Byron Jones can be flakey and we don’t know what will happen in the future with X, nor do we know if Iggy can step up when called upon. I wouldn’t pass on a stud CB for WR or RB if that’s the BPA.

  36. sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

    Did anyone else think that John Madden was dead already when they heard the news? I could have sworn he passed like 3 years ago.

  37. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

  39. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Over the first 6 games of this winning streak, Tagovailoa has played well. On Monday night, he was much shakier.

    some of the other stat lines Tua achieved over this winning streak, but it came against an exceptionally depleted Saints roster.

    Nick Belotto Fansided

    Ignorance at its finest

    Sounds like someone just made his opinion based on stats and the fact that they were missing some guys, nevermind that the guys on D that stepped in played great.

    And Tua threw an int, instead of hitting an open Waddle for a 1st down

    The game I saw was Tua doing enough to win against a ferocious D, the same one that made Brady look like a whiny brat

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      I completely agree with you. I don’t care what anyone says about the Saints missing some players, that D was flying around, hitting, and playing well. They’re built to play fast in that dome on turf, and are tougher at home than anywhere else. They have a strong rush and a top secondary. Stats tell very little about the conservative gameplan we executed very well.

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

    WY

    It depends what you mean by stud LB. The position has changed so much and our defense is so blitz dependent, there is a certain type

    If there is a Micah Parsons type who can play inside and outside, that would be incredible on our defense

    But we need a guy who can bring pressure not just a thumper ILB. I’ve mentioned Pass rusher before – I think we always need more pass rushers, but we can accomplish that with he right LB who can play all over the field

    We blitz our DBs more than any other team. Same thing with LBs – we need LBs that can bring pressure

    • Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

      I was thinking more along the lines of having 2 Baker’s back there? Certainly we can upgrade Euguave, duke, Roberts?

  41. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Tua looked pretty good. As much as everyone tried to defend the Saints being depleted, they still had that ferocious front 4 and most of their D backfield against our bad OL. I was worried and thought it would end up 10-7, and got even more concerned after watching the refs early. We won handily though.

    I don’t really want anything but OL in the first unless we get an elite OT in FA. It’s such a glaring and continuous issue. I hope we keep most of our FA. If 1-7 was even partially over everyone learning their jobs, why get new people that will need that unless they are an upgrade? Maybe 1 RB, a OT, and save the rest to make sure we keep Ogbah and Gesicki. I’d stay away from anyone with an injury history.

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

    Ken thanks for your 10:52

    Was going to post something like this too.

    Look guys, if you can’t be positive now in the middle of a 7 games win streak when we are asking you for positive vibes for a friend, you are pretty much hopeless.

    No reason jump down each other’s throats right now.

    BE NICE

    It’s not fucking hard!

    I’m generally not a nice pig. But I’m trying. If I can do it, any of you can.

    Don’t be petty jerks right now. Forget your ego and try to be positive just for a little while….eventually we can all go back to rolling in the mud.

    For now – BE NICE please

  43. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Chat Sports asks is Tua holding back the Dolphis?

    They say, if Tua was top 15 QB no one would want to play them

    Look here dick cheese…have you seen the OL?

    What Tua is doing behind this OL is 100% amazing, and stats and ratings aren’t the end all, you do what you need to, to win the game

  44. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    I’m a fricken walking straight man this morning

  45. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    We still don’t know what Tua’s ceiling is because everything we do on offense is hamstrung by our oline.

    Get us a RT in FA, and a center in the draft, keep our current OCs and offensive system into year two and we’ll see what we see next year.

    Tua’s release, accuracy, ability to move through his reads quickly, his ability to move defenders with his eyes, his pocket presence and escapability…all top level.

    Let’s see what happens when he doesn’t have freakin career backup Davis protecting his blindside, trainwreck Jackson with rookie and showing it Eich on his left side, and very average Dieter at center.

    I honestly don’t see how you can look at this oline and expect anyone to perform. I think the coaches and Tua have done a masterful job of implementing a system that can somewhat mitigate the oline deficiencies and play complementary enough to support our topnotch defense.

    I honestly won’t be on the downside of the rollercoaster if we lose our next two. I don’t think that will happen, I think we go 1-1, but even if we lose both, I am happy with the season because I see potential and growth. The team could have quit at 1-7, but this team stuck together. There is value in that.

    We’ll have the resources to address deficiencies this offseason and as more than a few have said on here, we have to start better next year, lol.

    I like our chances this week against the Titans. We get the short week, they get the long week. We have to go to their house where they are looking to clinch. I don’t care.

    I think our front 7 matches up well against their oline and run game with no Henry. I think our secondary matches up well against their wideouts. I think our pressure defense matches up well against their QB’s lack of pocket presence. I think we keep this close and have a chance to win it in the end.

    Go Dolphins!!

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      Tua made 1 bad pass on Monday and it didn’t cost the team. Herbert made 2 terrible passes on Sunday against a much worse defense and yet no criticism of him. I don’t get it. Tua is playing just fine. You don’t win 7 in a row if QB is not playing well I don’t care who the competition is. The throw to Hollins was unreal as was Hollins catch. That was as much as responsible for us winning the game just as much as anything the defense did

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        That throw to Hollins was a thing of beauty. He had a very similar pass to Ford against the Jest. Ford was moving across the field not up the sideline, but it was another downfield throw he dropped over his shoulder right in the bucket, and on 3rd down as well.

    I don’t see many here talking about it.

    But IMHO a stud LB should be high on our list of wants in the draft!
    —————————————————
    There are some stud LB’s but none are real dominate.

    UGA has 3 draft eligible. Nakobe Dean is probably their best but smallish for an ILB at 6′ 225 but is considered top 5 this draft. Then you have OLB Adam Anderson who is 6’5 230 and may run a bub 4.4 but may have some serious legal issues. The 3rd UGA LB is Channing Tindall who is 6’2 230 and runs in mid 4.4’s. He will probably be the fastest of all the ILB’s in the draft.

    A lot of talk about Utah’s Devan Lloyd being LB1 but I don’t see it. He has good size at 6’3 235 but as an OLB seems a bit slow with his projected 4.7 40.

    The two I would be interested most are LB Brandon Smith another PSU freak athlete but has not quite lived up to his athletic abilities. At 6’3 241 he was hand timed at a 4.38 40. His run defense and tackling has been a little issue. His best attribute, right now, is in coverage where he can cover any TE and even some wideouts.

    The other is Alabama ILB Christian Harris. He is probably the best ILB in the draft but not the fastest. He doesn’t really have any weaknesses but, if you had to pick one, it would probably be in coverage. He has average speed in the 4.6’s.

    Some 4th to 5th round guys I like are IU ILB Micah McFadden. Dude is a stud against the run and blitzing. Weakness is in coverage. I really like Jalen Graham from Purdue who probably has the best ball skills in the draft. Another is Amari Gainer from FSU.

    I didn’t note any guys who are considered “Edge” really. There are a couple good ones there also like Drake Jackson, USC, Foskey, ND or this other dude from South Carolina I can’t think of right now.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      If there is a Micah Parsons type who can play inside and outside, that would be incredible on our defense

      Piggy, I guess that would be Brandon Smith, PSU for you. He has the measurables of Parsons and Oweh and has lined up/played every LB position for them.

      Hey PSU guys, chime in on this guy.

      You didn’t mention Damone Clark?
      Clark led the Tigers’ defense in tackles this year with 137 total. He currently sits second in the nation with 11.4 tackles per game.

    Anytime you have an urge to just be frustrated, put on a condensed version of one of our games and just watch Davis at RT exclusively the whole game. I did that for the Saints game, it is so unbelievably frustrating watching him miss block after block, not only in pass protection, but anytime the play goes his way. Play after play I see him unable to get in front of the defender on both runs and passes.

  51. sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

    To finish the season, we’ll have to go through a Belichick disciple and Belichick himself. Both are winnable games though.
    In the first game against NE, we always seemed to get to Mac Jones just a half second too late and he was able to find the open man just before they got there. That defense was played different than what we’ve played in the last 7 wins. The defense needs to stay the course and do what it’s been doing during this streak: take away the run and put pressure on the QB.
    On offense, I think we’ll have to hit them with the 1-2 of Lindsay/Johnson, then throw in some wrinkles, and get our role players chances to shine. Belichick is going to make sure that Waddle is taken out as well as Gesicki and probably Parker. That’s why it’ll be important to get the ball to guys like Ford and Hollins while getting the ball into the hands our RB and backup TE’s.

    Tua is an easy target, because he plays for the Dolphins. We just haven’t earned the respect yet.

    Cowturd is such a tool. Mac Jones is a franchise QB but Tua is like Tebow?? How does this idiot have a job talking about sports, a subject he is so obviously lacking knowledge of?

  55. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Wyoming, not sure why I didn’t list Damone Clark. He had a really good year. I watched a number of LSU games this year and didn’t come away wowed by Clark. One game, he had a hard time getting off blocks and though he had like 10 tackles or more that game they all seemed to be down field. Dude is a tackling machine though. I remember the game against Ole Miss, he was everywhere. Maybe I shouldn’t have let myself get the wrong vibe on him based off that one game. I will have to watch more of him.

    What was the deal with Lindsey on Monday, several RPOs he seemed to be fighting Tua for the ball?

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      Probably just a chemistry thing. He hasn’t been here long, and was injured then in COVID protocols for a good portion of the time he has been here.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        The RB can anticipate, but he can’t do what Lindsay did, it’s the QBs call

        Like partner dancing someone has to be lead

    • Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

      They were not reading the “key” the same!
      It takes them both being on the same page to work correctly.

      Same with the Duke fumble, Duke read keep, and Tua read pull.

      Ferguson has replaced John Denney so seamlessly I haven’t even noticed him once this season. (Although that dumb fake snap we botched against the Jest I believe was a bad snap).

  62. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Draft is considering we resigned Ogbah and Gesicki and signed RT Trent Brown. Jameson Williams was gone. Went BPA first 2 picks. Cincinnati has a really good secondary led by my first round pick. Can’t wait to see how they hold up to the speed of Alabama.

    21. Ahmad Gardner CB Cincinnati
    53. Brandon Smith LB Penn State
    99. Jerome Ford RB Cincinnati
    117. John Metchie III WR Alabama
    121. Nick Broeker OT Mississippi
    163. Ifeanyi Maijeh DT Rutgers
    179. Matt Bedford OG Indiana
    202. Micah McFadden LB Indiana
    223. DeAngelo Malone EDGE Western Kentucky

    “Sauce” Gardner 6’3 200 pounds. Has never given up a receiving TD in his 3 seasons at Cincinnati. We will see if he can keep that stat vs Jameson Williams Friday.

  63. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    I do like Jerome Ford. Good power/speed combo. He transferred from Alabama to Cincinnati so I can’t wait to see how he does Friday vs his old team.

    I think a RB room with Duke, Lindsay, Penny, and Gaskin would be excellent AND not cost much.

    Penny is a big back and fast.
    ——————
    Thank you, BBMike! Seems you’re the only one who understands where I’m coming from with Rashaad Penny.

    You’d swear I’m asking our Phins to pay him $80M over 5 years to be a featured back for us. NO, I’m NOT! He’s injury prone, he’s not going to command top-dollar, and he can help us in a rotational system… which is what we do!

    If we can get Penny on a 1-year deal for close to vet minimal $$$, DO IT!!!

    • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

      And yes, I’d be willing to outbid the closest team on a 1-year, close to vet minimal contract as it pertains to Penny. If the price is right, I’m bringing him to Miami as a rotational RB.

      • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

        OR, perhaps we give him the usual 2-year, $10M contract for vets… 2nd year is voided if he can’t stay healthy, and is backloaded.

  77. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Terron Armstead was out with COVID-19 Monday night. James Hurst was the LT.

    Rob – I couldn’t disagree with you more about the offense. The Co-Co’s know they don’t have time to throw deep so they designed a short passing game because of that. It has nothing to do with Tua at all. I said this a few weeks ago and now I’m hearing all the guys on WQAM saying it too. They know they have no time, so the quick passes mask and hide the pass blocking deficiencies. Not sure how you could think it was anything else.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Yes Mike as a general statement that’s true, but if Tua had a Herbert arm he’d be throwing deep a lot more

      Pretty sure they didn’t go into the season thinking they were going to have to dink and dunk

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        Ok, so how is it that Brissett played exactly the same way? Not only did he play the same way, he took way more sacks

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Because Brissett can’t get out of his own way, he’s slow to process, he’s always been checkdown Charlie

        Tua gets outside about 5 to 10 times a game, he just doesn’t have the arm to wing it, so he takes the mid range passes

        You do realize without a big arm it’s tough to throw deep with a safety on that side

        You can still go deep, just have to be more selective

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        All kidding aside, I wouldn’t mind having him here. I still do hope that we draft a RB that can be a feature back. At the moment, I still think our roster is void of that. Doesn’t have to be in RD1 or 2, just get a good player that has some size, about 215 or more and not too tall, 5’10 or less.

  80. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    BBMike,

    Here is where I go back-and-forth in my mind: do we want a young RT to grow with Tua, or do we want to pay top-dollar to a FA?

    So long as Tua is protected on his blindside, I’m all good either way. I really like your idea of signing RT Trent Brown via FA. But I also like the thought that one of these funkers on our current O-Line can become great enough to become a legit RT for Tua.

    Time shall reveal…

    I hear ya! For the record, Penny is currently 5’11, 230… and he runs as fast as he ever has.

  83. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    We NEED a running game to complement Tua, guys. Currently, Najee Harris is the #5 rusher in the NFL behind the Stealers* defective O-Line (not as bad as ours, though). And Javonte Williams is the #10 rusher in the NFL.

    Fix the O-Line, and get a bruiser to run behind it… and that RB isn’t there in the 2022 NFL Draft.

  85. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Steve, I realize that more than anything, this offense can’t be successful if they tried to throw deep on a regular basis. I think his arm strength is such an overrated issue. We don’t run well because we don’t block well. We don’t run block and we don’t pass block well. We do the best we can with what we have, and Tua runs it extremely well. I guess if you think that if/when we have the horses up front that Tua will still be throwing 5 yard passes, I guess I can’t change your mind

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I agree Tua’s arm is just fine. I think he has shown that multiple times in this streak. He makes every throw a QB needs to make. I really don’t get this criticism. I think it’s because he is a lefty. The ball comes out differently. I have heard this criticism of just about every lefty QB I can remember especially with Ken Stabler and Steve Young

    Nickelodeon is the only acceptable place to be slimed

    Prove me wrong

  88. Dolphins offense is Tua , Waddle, and Gesicki, with a few of everything else tossed in

    they need a starting RB, a WR, and a couple more OL,
    to maximize the offenses scoring

    Davis, Deiter, and Jackson have been little help

  89. i would be beside myself if Miami drafted Jameson WIlliams Alabama WR, he would be a perfect compliment to Waddle.

    imagine NFL defenses trying to cover both Waddle and Williams

    they cant IMO

  90. Steve, chill the fuck out bud, just talking about some draft picks

    if You like or dont like WIlliams, You can say so

    im not angry with You, just tired of You constantly complaining about NOTHING

  91. If you are beside yourself with a particular feeling or emotion, it is so strong that it makes you almost out of control:
