Chris Grier is clearly the Top Dog, The Big Man, Numero Uno Honcho, The Head Cheese. This is his ballgame, at least for this season. He’ll be responsible for our draft, and for choosing wisely in the 2022 Free Agency period before and after the draft. Whomever is hired as Head Coach will have the understanding that Chris Grier, at least for the moment is the man with the power and the final say on personnel decision making. He will accommodate his new Head Coach, but he will not be overrun by him. The Dolphins should be able to fill some huge holes in Free Agency, otherwise known as “Overpaying Contracts”. It doesn’t matter, we have to spend money, and we will. If we overpay, so be it, it’s expected. Besides having a few key positions of need, we have our own free agents that need to be taken care of. Let’s put it this way, we don’t need to save for the future, we need to get this team right now. Fix the biggest issue, which is the O-line and then work at giving Tua some upgraded weapons at RB and WR, not necessarily through Free Agency, but both Free Agency and the NFL Draft. Our first pick will likely be one of the last 3 picks in RD 1, and Grier needs to hit on that one. He no longer has an arsenal of multiple first, second and third round picks, and for a change we’re making our first selection at the end of the 1st round, but unfortunately not because we won a playoff game.
To address re-signing our own guys, the most obvious target is DE Emmanuel Ogbah. His market value is slated at $10M per year but I’m thinking more like $12-14M. Either way, he’s priority number one. Mike Gesicki will be a curious situation to keep an eye on. We know Gesicki is a talented receiving TE, and we also know Chris Grier selected him in RD 2, pick #42 in 2018. He’s had a nice career as a Miami Dolphins TE, not as good as I expected though. I still feel like he was underused here. I’d have thought he’d be the most dynamic receiving TE in a Dolphins uniform but that still belongs to former TE Randy McMichael. Randy Mac finished his first 4 seasons with 221 receptions, 2456 yards and 15 TD’s. Slightly behind is Gesicki with 199 receptions for 2255 yards and 13 TD’s. I truly thought Gesicki’s totals should have been higher. Twice in McMichael’s first 4 he was targeted over 100 times, Gesicki finally did that last season, but the caveat there is it was a 17 game season. Like I said, underused. My next guy is Nik Needham. I love this kid, and I hope we consider him an important part of our team. The 25 year old defensive back has played anywhere and everywhere and has played well. He’s averaged 50-60 tackles per season and has 6 INT’s in 3 seasons. He also has 23 passes defensed. He’s a team player and an unselfish one. The next player I want to re-sign but more for depth is LB Elandon Roberts. He’s a strong 2 down run stopper as we have seen for the last couple of years. TE Durham Smythe is another player we should re-sign, and I believe it’s possible Smythe is signed before Gesicki and possibly instead of Gesicki if Gesicki’s price is too steep. We MUST also re-sign ST’s ace and WR Mack Hollins. He’s a high priority re-sign as well.
OK, now on to the rest of the NFL’s potential castoffs. We need a huge upgrade or 2 on our O-line. We can address one or both in FA, and I can almost guarantee you that we will be spending a good amount on at least one of the top tier offensive linemen. To quickly reiterate, I’m not convinced we’re going to be looking for a tackle, although the argument for one can easily be made. My belief is still that Austin Jackson can be our LT and Liam Eichenberg can be our RT. That would indicate we’d be looking for interior OL, either 2 guards or a guard and a center. I think the latter is more likely. Brandon Scherff and Andrew Norwell are the top OG’s, but the guy I had mentioned weeks ago and still prefer is 49ers LG Laken Tomlinson. He plays every game every season and would solidify the left side and help young Austin Jackson at LT. I like Robert Hunt at RG so I’d prefer we look for an OC. The pickings are slim unless we’re looking for a C over 30. The Detroit Lions lost their star OC Frank Ragnow early on and turned to former NYG and former Dolphin C Evan Brown. Brown had a great season starting 12 games for the Lions. He’s a FA and just 25 years old. Ted Karras is another option. He played OG last season for the rival Patriots but as we all know, he played C for us here in 2020 and played well enough. Who knows if Karras would be willing to come back. If wellok at OT, Terron Armstead would be tops, both in talent and $$$. Cam Robinson from the Jaguars would be a younger and less expensive option. I hope we don’t look for an OT as I’ve mentioned.
Besides the O-line, we need to upgrade our WR corps. I don’t want top tier, address the best in the draft, but a nice 2nd tier WR is possible. We’re not a Davante Adams away from the SB so spend wisely here. Christian Kirk from the Cardinals is a nice talent. Others here have fallen for Byron Pringle of the Chiefs. I worry a bit about those 3rd, 4th and 5th option guys. Plays break down in KC and Mahomes is flushed and the defense naturally rolls to Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce so of course guy like Pringle will either be in single or coverage or even possibly uncovered. We kind of saw the same thing with Sammy Watkins when he was with the Chiefs. Now Kirk played mostly in the slot, but he’s young and talented. D.J. Chark is a guy who has feasted on the perimeter and is a big bodied, agile player. 6’4 200, coming off a fractured ankle injury which should affect his playing career. He’s a 4.34 40 guy with a tremendous 40″ vertical. I’d say Chark would be number one target at WR, he’s been productive in a less than ideal offensive situation in Jacksonville. There’s also JuJu Smith-Schuster who had tremendous early success in his career at Pittsburgh, but has since been pushed back into the shadows by receivers like Chase Claypool and Dionte Johnson. Could a change of scenery jump-start JuJu? JuJu is a tough, fight for the ball type of receiver with less than ideal speed but good athleticism and ability.th Chark and Juju are only 25.
I’m going to cover the 2022 NFL Draft and in particular our needs in a future article. For now I’m going to leave you with my Free Agency wants, since there is Free Agency before the draft, and then of course, after the draft where a whole host of players are released and then become available once teams shuffle their rosters post draft. We’re one of the top 5 in cap space available so if we choose not to take my advice and go out and spend top money, we have it at approximately $67.5M. Let’s hope our guy Chris Grier gets the first part of the equation right so we go into the draft with better flexibility to make this team better.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
If the issue with Calvin Ridley is he has an issue with the Atlanta organization, would you trade for him? He’s from Florida, played a little with Tua at Alabama and he’s now an established top NFL WR.
Sun Sentinel’s Dave Hyde blasts the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching search
“It is obvious now: The Miami Dolphins don’t want a head coach. They want an offensive coordinator to call a head coach.”
He’s means McDaniel or Moore. Leave it to the local guys to shit on anything they can. Zac Taylor didn’t have an over abundance of NFL coaching experience as a QBs coach and defacto OC in Miami and he’s now coaching in the AFC Championship game.
Zac Taylor was able to pick his own coaching staff and his own QB. We haven’t seen that’s the case in Miami. Other than the statement being slightly sensational, it’s not far off.
I’m not so sure about the whole wanting to keep the defensive staff thing. All of that info. that I have seen is from fan sites, not from major news outlets.
Joe Burrow fell to them by having to the #1 pick. Zac didn’t get to pick his own QB. It was obvious to everyone. It was good timing. He had no idea who would be available for him. It’s not just Burrow either. They have some good defensive players, then Mixon, Boyd, Higgins and now Chase. It’s always about talent but I’m just saying that Zac Taylor was an out of the box thinking hire. So far so good.
How about McDaniel, then bring in Cordarrelle, to be his Debo type.

I approve this message!
Careful now that is like foreplay for M13
LMAO!!!! Now if only we could draw Dri Archer out of retirement. 😉
M13, how you doing with the COVID my friend?
Me thinks if Brady retires, Rodgers ends up in Tampa.
Denver. His OC Nathaniel Hackett just became HC. They need to find a good young QB anyway so as they do that they win with Rodgers.
Hmmmmm, could be
Think about it like this, you add a Tee Higgins and a Joe Mixon type talent along with Tua and Waddle and everything changes. Our defense is ready to compete, the offense is not.
This is one of the mid round DT’s I was looking at who is really impressing at the Shrine Bowl. Hope he does not climb draft boards to much. He would be a good addition.
“1. Matthew Butler IDL , Tennessee
Butler is a player that I was fairly unfamiliar with as he is in my colleague Joe Marino’s scouting region, but Butler didn’t take long to grab my attention. At nearly 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds with very long arms, Butler jumps out with his size and his movement skills. He flashed quickness and disruptive burst in one-on-ones where he consistently won his rep in pass-rush situations.
What impressed me most was his ability to win in the team period against the run. He was able to set the point of attack, shed the blocker, and locate the football. His combination of inside pass-rush ability and run-stopping power will have him quickly rising up the boards in a fairly weak interior defensive line class.”
Whoever we hire as HC, we must re-sign Ogbah. Along with Wilkins, Davis, Sieler and Butler, that is a good group on the DL. Then you have the LBs – Baker, Van Ginkel and Phillips. The DBs – X, By. Jones, Holland and Br. Jones. That’s a good core. I like Needham a lot, but he’s a UFA as are many other depth players. But the core is there. Do what you can with depth in FA and add some defense in the draft. We don’t need a big time defensive player in FA. Ogbah should be it.
Load up on offense. Why waste time with the cap we have? I’d target Penny and Gordon, Ridley, Robinson or a Kirk and Pringle type. We all agree we should add at least two vet OL.
Let the draft come to us. We’re drafting 29-32 in the 1st and go from there. Hit on one special player and a few role and/or developmental players.
This team could become really good overnight with the right additions. It’s not that far off.
I agree with you whole assessment
Do what you said above then draft what I did below. lol
A couple of trady downs
30. Kenneth Walker RB Michigan State
63. Brandon Smith LB Penn State
95. Daniel Faalele OT Minnesota
106. Matthew Butler DT Tennessee
112. Thayer Munford OG Ohio State
122. James Cook RB Georgia
152. Christian Watson WR North Dakota State
157. Markquese Bell S Florida A&M
179. Jerreth Sterns WR Western Kentucky
194. Micah McFadden ILB Indiana
201. Dawson Deaton OC Texas Tech
223. Zach VanValkenburg EDGE Iowa
I didn’t wait too long to take a WR. Christian Watson is an underrated small school kid but is 6’5 208 and projected 40 time is 4.38! Sterns is not fast but is a small crafty guy and reminds me of a smaller Landry or Bess type receiver.
AGAIN, Watson is 6’5 208 with 4.38 speed and great run after the catch ability.
He is so good at running after the catch and even at 6’5 was used as a returner and on jet sweeps.
BBM, we have 8 picks. LOL
Kenneth Walker is a little too leggy for me. I wouldn’t draft him in the 1st and maybe not the 2nd either. I’m in on the Penny or Gordon idea in FA but not long term as we retool our backfield.
Look at the Rams. They wasted no time saying we want to win now. They went to a SB and could again this year in not much time. The long plan doesn’t work. Too much can happen. When you have a core go for it!
I know, I said it was a trady down draft. lol The only player I liked that was still available at #30 was Walker or would have taken one of the top WR’s. I had a trade offer but was not willing to trade down to #42 and most of the compensation offered was for 2023 draft.
Yes, I am for getting a FA back like Penny or Gordon (Prefer Penny, Gordon still fumbles a good bit). Also resign Duke and then draft one.
I am all for getting a FA back not I am for getting. lol
What do you think of WR Christian Watson above?
Dude looks legit 👍🐕
Ah, at least he passed the butt sniff test. LOL
BBMike, we can’t build forever. Tua will be in his 3rd season. It’s go time and the team has the resources to make that happen.
I am right with you. All my mocks, I am keeping in mind resigning Ogbah, fix OL, add a WR and a RB in FA.
Don’t see any LB’s to sign in FA other than Kwon Alexander or our own who won’t break the bank.
We can always draft a player to eventually replace the FA guy. But it’s time to start winning now. 10-6 and 9-8 under Flores the last 2 years was solid. Take the next step! If it doesn’t happen Grier is gone. What are we waiting for?
If I’m Grier with the new HC the goal should be championship. Not well… we’re still putting this thing together. 3 years is enough. It’s time to make the playoffs and take the next step.
Developmental time is over. Win more games.
If we let Ogbah walk I might lose it altogether. What is our focus if that happens?
Yikes!!! Life as a Phins fan. LOL
Yeah, CAN NOT let Ogbah go

Man, it likes to stick around, this omicron variant. Went back to work today for the first time since getting it, but all went well. My strength is back, though I continue to have some chest congestion and some mild head symptoms. It was like a regular cold/flu, but it lingers more than usual.
I appreciate ya asking, Bro! Thank you.
Official snow total in my area was 10″. The drifts were higher and the wind was strong so there were serious drifts
Stay safe, cat! I got zero… JUST out of the danger zone.
Had the storm lingered a bit longer, I’d have been hit with 8″-12″ inches. I got lucky this time.
M13, the winter storm was nothing any of us who have lived in these regions forever have not dealt with.
Right on! But what if you were… him…
Seeing snow for the first time with mindless amazement. LOL
BOOM! LOL
I miss those days at the Sun-Sentinel on Omar’s blog! Was it Bat who made this image infamous with the line you just mentioned for us?!!
Haven’t heard from Bat in some time, and we follow each other on Twitter. I hope our guy is doing okay.
Yes it was bat. It still cracks me up and makes me laugh at times. His reckoning was hilarious. I hope all is well with him.
Just realized that Twitter banned Bat. Not sure how long ago (doesn’t state), but that’s why I’ve not heard or seen him as of late.
Gotta run for the evening with early work in the morn’. Be great, y’all! Peace.
Don’t expect Brady to retire until next week
https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/tom-brady-millions-reasons-extend-career-another-week
Speaking of Bat . . .
I’m friends with his wife on FB. I just found out a week ago that Joe (Bat) is a Chiefs fan. He only followed the Dolphins because of his wife. Blew my mind
Say it isn’t so !!
OMG 😨 He’s a Bat out of Hell!
Now that’s funny!
And explains a lot!!!
I knew there was something evil about him. lol
No wonder he was always so negative, that and the fact we mostly sucked at the time lol!
Well he’s enjoying football these days with the chiefs
OMG, if the 49er’s win and our pick drops from #30 to #31, I am going to lose it. lol 😉
The Horror! 😉
Who y’all want to see in the SB?
I am thinking Bengals/Rams. Not Rams because of our draft pick status. lol I want Rams so we can get on with this coaching search and get on with things. I think, whoever our HC is, will determine what type OL we should be targeting. I know McDaniel is more a Zone blocking guy mixed with some power stuff. Not sure about Kellen Moore’s system in Dallas.
Really hate that we didn’t get Daboll. A lot of a HC’s success comes from who he brings with him and Daboll seems to have more experience and connections than the other two. Not a fan of Moore at all. Should be some good games today. Supposedly Miami was trying to get Burrow for 3 1sts. Who knows but it makes sense. The guy is a stud.
Yes, Burrow has that “IT” factor for sure. I was jumping up and down for Burrow that whole season leading up to his draft.
Me too. I like LSU ok but was a huge fan when he played. He really improved his game from his first year at LSU.
Was trying to figure out what system Kellen Moore runs and came across this article. It’s interesting. Though, it seems he has a thick paybook where everyone needs to be on the same page for it to work.
Definitely have to fix OL for any scheme to work.
https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2021/11/18/22788208/cowboys-offense-scheme-kellen-moore-dak-prescott
I wonder if Kellen Moore would bring his old Boise State coach, Chris Peterson on as an assistant since he has taken a break from coaching.
Interesting, that would certainly be a benefit
I’m going with Bengals, not that I think they win it. My daughters BF is a Bengals fan so I’ve thrown my support to them. I might even do some laundry today. 😂
I think they are the biggest underdog of the lot. Would be nice to see them pull it off. Gives me hope that one day, someday, if we can just get in the playoffs we can win it.
LAUNDRY!! Now, that is going a little too far!
I am pulling for Cincy also.
Tuohy says TB was the most watched team in 2020, then magically they win the SB
Around the 19 minute mark they talk about the Rams going to SB in their own stadium, I said that was going to happen, before the season, after I saw the schedule
In the 22nd minute they talk about Vegas putting a call in, but said this probably doesn’t happen, but what if Vegas gets info from the NFL before the spread goes out on what teams they’re favoring this week
We’ve all talked about the Cheats getting calls, was that setup by the league? Hard to debate it wasn’t
In 28th minute they discuss holding, and why it’s called sometimes, instead of other times
Cincinnati isn’t winning today
Cav doesn’t watch the NBA any longer, because of the bad calls in their series against the Lakers in the conf finals, Tuohy talks about it
Lol…Dude you can find a conspiracy theory to hitch on to anywhere!
As long as there’s a majority of deniers…but you probably still believe pro wrestling is on the level, so
A point Tuohy brings up is, there’s corruption in everything, yet somehow people think the NFL is immune to it
How exactly is that possible?
I’m rooting against Cincy for all the wrong reasons. I don’t want to hear all the Burrow talk. I almost want him to have a terrible day so people just STFU about him.
He’s a really good QB. Not sure that’s going to happen Mike!
New Age,
There were report the day before the draft that Miami was offering all of their firsts for the number one pick- it’s just resurfacing now because Burrow is and the AFC Championship game. I’m sure they didn’t give much thought.
Probably not and I remember when those rumors first hit. I’m pulling for the Rams and Bengals today. Mahomes needs a year off and I like the Rams better of those two. That’s about it, I’m not too interested in any of it today.
Yeah, it’s always nice to get new blood in there.
I remember thinking that Burrow just had that one great year in college and I was afraid he was just a flash in the pan. I liked the Tua pick then, I still think he’s going to be a very good QB. The situation you fall into is as important as how good you are. Despite landing in a poor situation, Tua has still played well. I don’t think Burrow would have done better if he was here.
Tom Brady really retired after receiving a bloody lip
That’s not supposed to be a reply
Not me, I was a Burrow homer. I looked at his tape the years prior and he was not all bad. They changed their offense and they blew up into a juggernaut.
Other than that, yeah, he would not have done any better if he were in Miami. Neither would Herbert for that matter.
I was also afraid Burrow was a one year wonder as well
But so far he’s been very good
His style of play though, opens the door for big mistakes
I love his style but, he is holding the ball a long time and trying to make a big play
He does a great job of getting those big plays though
But it’s really risky
I kind of think the chiefs are going to blow the bengals out today
I did 50,000 mock drafts that year, give or take (LOL), trying to trade up for Burrow. I remember being able to do it trading our first two 2020 1st round picks and a 2021 1st round pick most of the time.
He was the best QB prospect coming out- you don’t fuck around with that. The Bengals probably never entertained the offer.
It make no difference for me whether we are picking 30-32. I have family members and friends who are Niners fans, so I’m rooting for them.
I don’t know why the draft network has Ross so low but I exploit it every time
https://twitter.com/theflyingpig44/status/1487857878929133572?s=21
Reason says, the team was split between Flores and Tua, so the coaching staff was putting out bad press on Tua
I believe Flores wasn’t going to be able to unite the team with Tua at QB1, so good riddance
He kept the team together in 2021, but was going to be harder and harder going forward especially if they got off to another bad start
Flores wasn’t who we thought he was, and Ross let us off the hook
As most know my wife is a niners fan , my SB winners In order of preference
1Cincy
2 Matt Stafford
3 KC
4 anyone but Niners 😎
Why is it so silent on the Eric Bienemy front ?? Has he been reported to have had ANY interviews?? He was supposedly the NEXT OFF GURU HC candidate last year and again this year … wazzzup wit dat ?
Think that’s all woke media driven
When I look at him during a game, he never seems to have the look like he’s in a groove
I equate him with Mahomes equal to Gase with Manning
Fair enuff
Omar says the team doesn’t believe Tua’s arm is strong enough
We’ve seen guys with weaker arms win SBs like Brees and Montana
Put Tua in Mahomes’ position vs Buffalo with 13 seconds left, could he have thrown a pass 2 yards, that a WR takes for 20?
Could he have thrown a pass 20 yards downfield to get into fg range?
Could he have thrown the pass to Hill, that was about 25 yards downfield, that he took to the house?
Tua is still a Fin, enough said
Josh McDaniels the Raiders HC. Harbaugh not going there.
Now watch Belichick retire and Flores goes to NE
That’s a typical Raiders move- announcing it on Championship Sunday
Hope Josh succeeds here, that keeps him out of NE, where he’s done a good job as OC
The last sentence is Key for me
Sources said that Brady’s decision to retire is based on several factors, including family and health. Although it’s less significant, Brady also recognizes that the Buccaneers are likely to undergo significant roster turnover, sources said.
Not sure why we didn’t at least interview McDaniels. It’s obvious we are going with an offensive minded coach.
THe team showed good judge In not wasting their time with Josh McDaniels
He was a disaster with the Broncos
patriots coordinators rarely do well
McDaniel was one of the worst I can remember
The patriots were really special on offense either, sort of middle of the pack
I don’t get why anyone is considering McDaniels now. I think the raiders made a bad hire
We interviewed him
Oh McDaniels not McDaniel. I am glad we interview McDaniels another cancer type imo
And we interviewed him too…we passed
FYI – We interviewed him in 2016
Oh I didn’t think we did this year and glad we didn’t
We interviewed him this year?
It’s starting g to look like Flores will be unemployed
He can sit out a year, make millions and jump back in next year.
I actually think that’s the smart move
Imagine if he goes to the wrong team right now
Wait a year get back I the shuffle
He still has a shot at being a good coach
But he needs you can’t emulate Belichick as a 1st year head coach
Agreed 💯
Test

Wow!!! That will make Mike E happy.
OMG! If that’s true I couldn’t be more excited for our team
He wants to be back in the NFL.
That would be a win/win for us M13!
Armando Salguero
@ArmandoSalguero
Had plugged in (former) #Dolphins employee who retains connections to the team tell me last nite he expects Steve Ross will do what he can to hire Jim Harbaugh if the Michigan coach is indeed considering leaving Michigan for NFL. We’ll see
I don’t really think Mando is connected to anyone within the organization
Former employee
Myles Gaskin could have this kind of success that Jerrick McKinnon is having with the Chiefs. This offense is tough to defend
Basically impossible to defend. You can only hope to keep up.
I’m with a Mike E on Harbaug
I absolutely love his as a coach
But I don’t see it happening
Shhhhhhhh. It can happen. It can happen. LOL
(Piggy holds in his snorts)
And promptly Farts
Harbaugh basically checks off every thing
Experience in nfl as HC
Success
His personality just sucks….lol
Instant credibility. No other candidate offers that.
And he wears old man baggy pants
Everybody hear that? No play over 15byards on that drive.
Harbaugh is by far the best coach we can hope for. It’s not even close.
It is unbelievable how many weapons the Chiefs have
That play to Hardman is exactly why I’m not going crazy for Pringle. Opposing defenses have to worry about Hill, Kelce, the RB and just can’t defend everyone. Put him on the Dolphins in our current offense he probably doesn’t offer much more than Hollins
Yeah I don’t see anything special there ..🤷♂️
Watch the TD he scored against the Steelers in the regular season. The amount of people he made miss was sick
2 were on Hill, 3 were on Kelce, 5 were rushing Mahomes, so that leaves 3 at most. 🤣
Pringle healthy for 17 games > Williams and Parker healthy 10 games combined
Agree Need upgrade the WR room , just not sure he’d be an upgrade outside of availABILITY
When Mahomes extends plays it’s like watching a young Ben Roethlisberger with the Steelers. Something good is gonna happen
Not excited about the Harbaugh news, but the guy I wanted is already gone so i really am not pro anyone anymore. McDaniel I think would be better, I’m just not a fan and f Harbaugh but it’s splitting hairs so bring in whomever they feel is best at this point.
This could be game over right here
I will be so disappointed if we hire the cancer formally known as Jim Harbaugh
Why do you think he’s a cancer?
As the 49ers. Hell ask Ross who he basically jilted at the altar and now is apparently ready to take him back no matter who he sullied himself with. He apparently is ready to ditch his dream job at his alma matter. Watch some of his unhinged rants that he is famous for. I can’t stand Harbaugh. The guy is classless
I don’t think vet upgrades at WR are smart. We should draft to fill our WR room. RB the same, probably the same for TE though that’s about 50/50 for me. I’d rather us go for OL in FA, maybe draft a backup with potential to take a spot once they acclimate. WR there are always plenty in the draft we just need to have an offensive identity so we can start drafting the right types. RB is the same, no vets, just draft a guy who fits the team need for the role he will play.
I agree .. #1 priority is FA Vet OL , ideally X2.. I then believe our current RBs would be more than adequate , by current I include Duke
I agree on RB and WR too. I do think we need a veteran WR, not a stud, just a reliable receiver who suits up every week. I’d draft a WR with our first and maybe a RB with our 2nd
I’d like to go OL as well, but there are a lot of other teams that will be going for OL upgrades in FA. We can’t put all our eggs in that basket. I’d go for OL, then resign Duke, Ogbah, Gesicki and make a run at Godwin
Yes , I consider those resigns as musts in any scenario, and agree OL is a league wide need
The Bengals are in trouble.
No TD this drive they are toast
We MAY have a game now
They needed that.
Ken – I have one thing to say to you . . .
Baalke with Harbaugh (36-11-1)
Baalke w/o Harbaugh (18-47)
Maybe it has nothing to do with class and Harbaugh had a legit beef with Baalke.
He repeats the same behavior every where he goes
You mean winning??? 😆
That’s who he is. He’s a dick but a very good coach.
He has no issues with Michigan
He’s just moving on
I don’t think he had issues with Stanford either
Besides, even the best coaches and gms don’t match with everyone
I don’t really understand where you are coming from on this Ken
Harbaugh would be a dream hire
He wins games but not titles and ditches his job when it becomes clear that he can’t deliver the big one
I recently read something where the guy was saying how Trent Baalke is still the GM in JAX is mind boggling. Supposedly he’s a dick too and not that good as a personnel guy.
Nice blocking downfield by Chase
Ken
His record in SF, Michigan and Stanford is taking teams/programs that aren’t competitive and making them competitive
the fact that he hasn’t won a championship makes him hungry
Thats exactly what we need
And when he leaves those places, he leaves them in better shape then they were before he was there
SF went to shit after he left
That’s usually an argument that favors a coach
Yes but they faded very bad in the second half of his final season. They were certainly not left in a better place
Cowboys OC Moore has zero appeal to me .. I think the cowboys fan at work would thank me if hired him
Piggy Michigan was not all that happy with him. He choked in big games. This year was the first time they beat OSU
I don’t think they will shed any tears about him leaving
Michigan loves him Ken
They are looping to keep him there
They didn’t beat OSU for a few decades before him
💯
OSU beats everyone in the Big ten on a regular basis Ken.
Well that’s a little tough to say. How did Harbaugh choke? Maybe the team wasn’t good enough. I don’t really watch much college football, was it Harbaugh making stupid decisions or did his team simply get beat?
Like I’ve said many times, whoever our next HC is, all I want is for him to be successful. 🙂
I don’t care about the personality of our coach anymore. I’m sick and tired of being mediocre or worse. Balke and Harbaugh didn’t get along. My brothers and Father are huge Niners fans, and would always talk about how big of an asshole Balke was. If we can get Harbaugh, I’m all in. He’s a winning coach everywhere he goes.
His record at Michigan is a mirage. College football is all about recruiting. In games when it mattered he was disappointing
Shula was a dick too
SF went to shit BECAUSE he left. Not because he left the team in bad shape. That’s just not true. He’s a great coach, he just is, and he’s head and shoulders better than anyone else we have available to us. Flores seemed like a dick for all intent and purpose but you didn’t have a problem with him. I want to win, and if Harbaugh makes that happen, and I believe he will, I can tolerate his abrasive personality
They actually fired His replacement after 1 year
Then Chip Kelly took them either farther down a hole
And it wasn’t until Kyle shanahan came there that they began being competitive again
So yeah – they went to shot bc they parted ways with him, they actually accelerated their demise with the decisions they made to replace him
Trent Balke deserve the blame for that. He almost ruined that organization.
Hulk too woke for Harbaugh. Harbaugh mean, says things that trigger players. Need safe space.
I don’t care about that per se I just think he is unhinged. The very same behaviors that are being spread about Flores are the very same behaviors that Harbaugh is known for
Winning cures everything
That is true!
What Brian said is also true.
Maybe. But it’s fun to mess with you, ya liberal fuck.
So Ken, you’d want Kellen Moore and Mclovin over Harbaigh?!!!!
Harbaugh
As I said last night it’s not endorsement of them but an indictment against Harbaugh. If he is the hire it will be wash rinse and repeat I. 3 years. Maybe be win some games but we are not winning a title with him
LMAO @ McLuvin!
Heck – Harbaugh won with that anti-American, communist fuck Kaepernick!
I actually love McLuvin too
Harbaugh has a big Rolodex .. that’s a plus to hiring him over the other two , unless no one in his Rolodex returns his calls 🤷♂️
I know Ken isn’t answering the phone
Just to yell Fuck no into it
No NFL HC has ever won a Super Bowl with 2 teams. So Harbaugh not winning it with SF avoids that crazy stat. 😉
That was a heck of a play by the QB
Isaiah Prince starts for the bengals
And Billy Turner is a starter in GB.
I am not a big fan of Harbaugh. However, he was 61-24 at Michigan and name me one superstar on offense he did that with??? I can guarantee it, if you name one, it won’t be a QB. Have to say it was coaching.
It was talent. Michigan has way more talent than any other team in the Big 10 except OSU. CFB is all about recruiting and Michigan had tons of highly rated recruits
None on offense.
Well it’s a game.
Piggy, why the no love for Justyn Ross? Injuries! Also, his production has been on the downslide since he was a freshman. His numbers last season were hardly noteworthy.
Ken – Harbaugh may be a little unhinged, but that is what Miami needs. For the last 20+ years they have been the the most passionless team I’ve ever seen.
Big difference between passion and unhinged
Not really. Fan is just short for fanatic
I’d be thrilled if we hire Harbaugh. It’s been so long since we’ve had a real measure of success, I just want a team that consistently makes the damn playoffs for a few years. Harbaugh is a proven commodity in that regard.
During this process, I never considered it a real possibility we get him, but honestly with all the names bandied about on this board, Harbaugh would have been my 2nd choice behind only Payton.
That was huge for the Bengals.
Burrow and Chase have the chance to be special
Now, It’s a game
Nice
Cincy’s OL is shit. It’s impressive what they are doing.
Thus why Prince is starting, or vice versa
Fook…gotta go catch my next flight.
Play safe
So much for my KC blowout prediction
It started off that way but the Bengals are the new kids on the block. They’re a good team.
I hear that 6 minutes is enough time for KC
Can anyone confirm?
Waaaaay too much time .. burrow May get it back with 4 mins to go
They are eating the clock now
No need to cover Kelce on 3rd down
They were doing the amoeba defense like we did all the time and putting everyone on the line
I don’t like it at all in that situation – but we did stuff like that all the time
Right down to the wire.
I don’t think that sack hurts KC
Wow
That was utterly ridiculous though
After that Chiefs don’t deserve to win
Wow!!!
Too cutesy with the clock by the chiefs there
More interested in taking it down than scoring
Yep
Are people wondering why Bienemy isn’t getting job offers now?
I think it’s been more on Mahomes. He hasn’t played well the entire 2nd half.
Quite sure OC did not call for Mahomes to run around for 20 seconds and almost fumble
Props to Cincy no matter the outcome
Cin has no chance with road apple on Hill
