I hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable Memorial day Weekend. Please remember what this holiday is all about!
Thank you to all who have served and those who sacrificed their lives to protect us to enable us to have the freedom we own, and the ability to celebrate you on this day! Thank You!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
And no embellishing either
Lebron may know it as flopping
Response to Lebron saying how quick NHLers get back up
!!!!!!!!!!!
Would like to see him take over a game, like his counter parts do
because he can’t get separation or run routes properly EVERY catch is contested. Big deal 32 catches in 3 seasons…..
😉
Not true at all. Should we put up a video of Gesicki catching chunk yard passes with YAC. The main issue with him he needs a few steps to get going because he’s not a quick twitch guy. Also the 32 contested catches are over 2 seasons not 3. 😉
Steve, when we traded for Hill and they asked Waddle about it I believe he did say I’m going to learn everything I can from him.
That’s great, now let’s see it in his play and maybe when he takes his shirt off
Imagine Hill and clone Hill
When you watch highlights of Hill you see when he catches short and intermediate routes you’ll notice there is always some open field for him to find space to RAC because Andy Reid knows how to put routes together to create space for his playmakers. Our offense had everyone bunched together too often so multiple defenders could cover our routes. I’ve heard McDaniel talk about creating space for YAC is paramount. That philosophy is what will help Waddle be in more one on one situations. It’s going to be very difficult for opponents to cover both Hill and Waddle.
JBB Tim. I picked Goedert over just Sucky pre draft. Like I did Herbert over Tua. I’m not the only one on this board that pines over there picks years later.
Siri speech to text spelled it that way and I’m just going to leave it
Lol….siri’s fault
I know you’ve always liked Goedert over Gesicki. Just thought your comments were silly.
They are silly 😜
You can’t look back, Rock….any hope for Tua this year?
I think Tua will have a very good season. Too many people act like the guy is a turnover machine, takes too many sacks and loses games, none of that is true.
The offense McDaniel is implementing fits what Tua does well. The run game will be huge to set up the passing game. More under center, play-action with boots and waggles will open up the offense because the defense doesn’t know what’s coming. Being in shotgun and running the RPO 90% of the time was predictable. Once the QB doesn’t hand it off you blitz him to get him off his spot. It’s okay to run that from time to time when in shotgun, but not as a staple.

Patience….lol
Hope Tindall is all that….
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article260865737.html
He looks the part. I think he’s perfect in our attack defense. We’ve talked about Waddle being another Hill, I think Tindall is another Baker. Upgrades with speed on both sides of the ball.
If Tindall doesn’t surpass Baker in his career I’d be surprised
I think his ceiling this year might be Baker, with some pup biting flashes
I think Baker is extremely underrated. He can do anything you want a LB to do. He’s not a pure pass rusher but he is an excellent blitzer. Durable and available – he’s never missed a game, averages over 100 tackles per season, is a sideline to sideline guy and can cover. He’s one of our team leaders now and a major cog in our defense.
I’d say Tindall needs to absorb everything he can from Baker just like Waddle from Hill. 🙂
Colorado leads after 1 period 3-2
OD last seen soiling his shorts😝
NOW, Steve, Don’t assume I have your bad habits!!
Actually I was busy tonight doing some projects for Mrs. OD who had a pretty rough day, today, with medical tests. But I did tune in to see the last 30 seconds of the 1st period when 2 goals were scored less than 10 seconds apart!!
Reminded me a bit of the first game in the Battle of Alberta when Calgary blew a 6-goal lead only to come back and win 9-6. Don’t think this “Score-a-Thon” hockey will prevail in the Finals. Both the Bolts and the Rangers have superior goal tenders and superior defenses to those of the Western Conference representatives. Much can change over the next 10-12 days concerning injuries and the “unexpected.” But I still believe the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals will prevail in the Stanley Cup Finals.
IDK you seem pretty worried about Colorado 2 series b4 you might face them
Test…
https://stathead.com/tiny/J37wo
The above link is something I plugged into Stathead… and I’ve already got too many online subscriptions to want to get yet another, thus revealing the only 2 players who fit the criteria.
One is Channing Tindall, but I don’t know the other player. These are NFL Combine Results, from 2000 to 2022, played ILB or LB, player weighed between 220 and 250 pounds, player had = 42.00 inch vertical jump, ordered by Combine Year descending.
Channing Tindall is a bloody FREAK, y’all.
Oh… and a 4.48 40-time or lower. There’s only one other LB who fits the criteria aside from Tindall since 2000.
I’d LOVE to know who that other player is!
Not even the great Cam Wake or Brian Urlacher met the criteria.
I thought he ran a 4.47? LOL
I crack up sometimes when we’re talking 10th’s of a second. 4.53 or 4.47. The guy behind can tug your jersey, that’s how close it is. And nobody runs a 40 the same all the time, and in football straight line speed is not the tell all. Football speed is most important. Players who play the game fast are more impressive to me.
There’s this guy named Zach Thomas who ran in the 4.8 range but on game day he was one of the fasted players on the field. 🙂
It may be Dontay Moch, Nevada, OLB: 4.40 40-time, 42″ VJ.
The goal Colorado scored with about 10 seconds left in the 1st was reviewed, they said it was delayed offsides, which is total BS, because when guys skate in backwards over the blue line, they don’t exactly have control of the puck, but that isn’t called offsides, in other words they just made up the call to fit their agenda
Since it was reviewed and not over turned Colorado went on a power play and scored again
AGREE WITH YOU that the League Office BLEW THE INSTANT REPLAY REVIEW.–Hope you saw my reply to you a few spots up the page.
Enjoy the game!
And the game was decided by 2 goals, the goal that should’ve been disallowed and the one they got on the ensuing penalty
If you think it’s on the level think again

I get ya, Tim. I’m just trying to establish how talented/gifted young Channing Tindall is. He’s a very rare player who has a ceiling so very high. It’s nothing short of amazing that he fell to us in the 3rd round. I think he may become the steal of the ’22 NFL Draft… time shall reveal.
I’d have thought you’d DIG the praise I’m giving Channing Tindall, Bro!
I did but nitpicking a 40 time has never made a good football player. There is so much more to it. Mind speed is more important. I’ve been talking up Tindall since we drafted him because I do think he’s a LB who slipped through the cracks in the draft. I just think 4.45 and 4.6 is overstated. It’s not a race.
I recall the year 2013… when so many Phins fans were HYPED over the sideline-to-sideline speed of one Jelani Jenkins out of Florida. I never liked that pick and thought he’d flop.
Channing Tindall is no Jelani Jenkins.
Jenkins had a nice 2-3 year start to his career, then got hurt and he was never the same player.
He started out hurt, too.
Not really. I don’t consider playing in 44 of 48 games your first 3 seasons as starting out hurt.

Correct(!), but I’m not nitpicking a 40-time… I’m talking about vertical explosiveness (VJ), coupled with speed. And I’m willing to bet that if I add another factor (say, bench press, LJ, or 20-yard) to the criteria, we’ll find that we have ourselves one HELL of an athlete.
And clearly, he’s not just an athlete… he had major success at/with Georgia, unlike many other mere “athletes”. I’m sayin’, this kid is special.
JMO, but I think our analytics department — coupled with our scouts and GM Grier — couldn’t BELIEVE that Tindall fell to us. Safe pick, great pick, and in a position of need for speed to corral the Josh Allen’s of the NFL.
And thus, I’m merely illustrating just how rare a cat Channing Tindall is with his God-given gifts. He’s 1 of 2 to meet the strict criteria I posted earlier.
I swear I heard some one oinking about how this isn’t going away anytime soon on this blog….
Must have been a Cunningham. 😉
Well the Avs scored an empty net goal with 21 seconds left to make it 8-6. BUT, the TRUTH IS a blown review by the NHL was the difference in this game!! Shame on those idiots in TORONTO at the League headquarters for blowing that review at the end of the 1st Period. It gave Colorado TWO goals they didn’t deserve!! This “BATTLE OF THE BLOWN REPLAY” gave the Avs a goal they didn’t deserve AND a power play they didn’t earn!! Said power play gave Colorado a 2nd goal they likely would not have scored without the bogus man advantage.
PRETTY SICK WAY to start off the Conference Finals!!!
I EXPECT FAR MORE tomorrow night when the Lightning play in front of those beered-up Ranger fans in Madison Square Garden!! And bet your ass there WON’T BE 14 GOALS IN THAT GAME!!
M13, lots of draftniks have said Channing Tindall was a steal to drop to #102 which was end of the 3rd round and basically a 4th round pick in numbers. Some had him 2nd and early 3rd. He’s our gem now. 🙂
Buffalo has kicked our ass recently, why haven’t our genius beat reporters asked MM what can he do to change that?
Has he watched the tape to see what the Bills took advantage of?
Do you have a plan this year to combat the one-sided games?
Instead they want to know if Wilkins had fun at the grand prix race
We now have two LBs that can play inside see the play develop, spy the ball and chase the players with it including QBs. You said it yourself, Baker and Tindall can do that. We kept the defense intact and added more chase speed.
On offense we’re an entirely different beast. Nobody knows what’s coming yet but there’s a lot more speed to challenge the teams we’ll have to beat.
This team got a lot quicker and faster. Lots of young players are entering their 2nd through 4th seasons. Coach McD like likes speed, not just 40 times but do your job fast.
Ok, that’s great, but strategy-wise what are we going to do?
We still have Tua, they’ve found a way to stop him how are you going to turn it around?
We beat Lamar’s ass last year, Harbaugh has already said we’ll be ready for them this year
That’s what great coaches do, they have a plan to combat being out coached
Of course Tua has to raise the level of his play. He’s the fuckin QB. LOL
This idea that only him and others like him need talent around them to succeed is so dumb. What QB wins with no talent around him? There are pundits out there that act like Brady had no playmakers on offense and no defense in his career. LOL
Do any of you remember in Marino’s prime we went 8-8, 8-7, 6-10 and 8-8 from 86 thru 89? No playoffs for 4 years in his prime with Don Shula as HC.
We were not a complete team. Poor defense and a sub par running game. We put it all on one guy. Sound familiar? We’re talking about a guy who is in the HOF as a QB.
Yeah it’s all about Tua. LOL
Shula wasted Marino.
Marino’s overall inaccuracy (not saying he was inaccurate, just saying he had consistency issues) made it tough to have a good running game
Shula tried running it, but Marino had trouble converting key 3rd downs after running on 1st and 2nd down, then you’d see Marino on the sideline pissed (as if, F this I want to throw it)
Why was Brady so successful? His key moment accuracy was impeccable and he knew how to adjust to whatever you threw at him
I see Tua more like Brady than Marino, if we run on 1st and 2nd down, then need a short pass to get a 1st down he can be unstoppable
Where Tua needs to progress is in his reads or adjusting on the fly, you blitz him he needs to know where to go quickly with the ball, you sit back he needs to be patient and find the open receiver
Tua is pretty good already in these areas, and a little help and experience may be all he needs
I agree both about Marino and about Tua
I gave Tua shit last year for some bad ints against Atl, huge plays in the game, that ultimately cost us the game, but after watching the replay neither the early int around midfield (Waddle didn’t sit still, moved when Tua threw it) nor the one in the EZ (Smythe curled off and didn’t complete his route) were Tua’s fault, leading to a QB needs help
As some famous person once said, My Husband Can’t Throw and Catch at the Same Time

My June 1st 2023 NFL Draft (LOL)
16. Noah Sewell LB Oregon (Keep adding to a good D)
27. Jaxson Kirkland OT Washington (Best OL available here)
48. Ricky Stromberg OC Arkansas (Best OC available here)
78. Isaiah Foskey EDGE Notre Dame (Big, quick, makes game changing plays)
80. Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB Kentucky (BIG RB from a outside zone system)
148. Kyu Blu Kelly CB Stanford (very versatile)
172. Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin (Watching Chenal, I always saw this guy)
212. Chis Autman-Bell WR Minnesota (Tough dude. Superb blocker)
I know we don’t need a WR next draft but if Preston Williams does not pan out for whatever reason, Autman-Bell (6’1 215) would be a nice fit. Not afraid of taking hits over the middle and when his assignment is blocking, he nails dudes and finishes his blocks.
The block he makes at the 1:40 make is brutal.
Yes, but it’s more of an unexpected cheap shot almost, as the guy wasn’t looking at him and wasn’t in the play
When a runner is tip toeing the sideline he’s very light on his feet and easy to knock off balance, and similar to what it would take to make this block
Ezukanma is that same type of WR, imagine having 2 speedsters in Hill and Waddle, and 2 tough over the middle, YAC, contested catch guys, then add Wilson and Gesicki
This kid or Williams could fill the over the middle role
It’s going to be fun this year
Does the NFL still have June 1st cuts?
the NFL decided to change the rule to where teams can designate two players per offseason as “June 1” cuts. That allows the teams to benefit on the cap-savings, but the players can get released earlier when teams have money to spend on free agency
Teams mostly cut them early, then designate them as post June 1st
I suppose teams can still cut as many players now too, but only 2 before June 1st and get designated after June 1st
We may start seeing some vets cut, some teams do have rookies to sign, that will actually count against the top 51
In the offseason before Denver won their 1st SB, was looking at their FA signings, thinking they were going to win the SB
I’m having similar thoughts about the Fins, sure we aren’t as far along, nor do we have the generational QB, but the quality and depth of our signings/trade is tremendous
Our FO and capologist have done an incredible job acquiring talent, while circumventing the cap
ima just leave this here for anyone who wants to read it….
I hope our FO uses that 13 ranking to resign him at a lower than expected amount
Gesicki seemed bottled up at times last year due to the emphasis the D put on stopping him, if they do that this year…aye pobre sito, the D will get torched
I expect him to have career best stats across the board
I also am beginning to think this run first mentality will be mostly a farce, in that we’ll still pass much more than run, but you’d better be able to stop the run, we’ll just be running more on 1st down
Here’s a wishful thinking article
https://phinphanatic.com/2022/06/01/6-possible-pro-bowlers-miami-dolphins-offense/amp/
Tua making it would be more based on the team’s success, otherwise he’d have to throw for 4800 yards and 40 tds, highly unlikely in what projects to be a run first O, and if he did have those stats you’d think the team would have success, unless it came mostly in blowout, mop up fashion
The rest have legitimate chance, although it would be tough for 2 WRs and Gescki to all make it, but individually they could
You think we traded for Tyrek Hill to match up with Waddle to be run first offense? We don’t even have a bell cow running back
>>>>>>>>
++++++++++
vvvvvv
******
The players are aware of Tua’s bad press, they aren’t going to add fuel to the fire
Wonder, if they’ve been instructed to not say anything negative about Tua
Could be several things?
Including the truth?????? 😉

Make that minicamp
Which of our LBs can cover? Ain’t the outside guys (Van GInkle, Phillips, Ingram). Ain’t Roberts. All the reports on Tindall seem to be he should be able to cover with his speed but hasn’t shown it yet.
So other than the situational guys, is Baker the only one ready to do pass coverage?
All the LBs have to cover and did last year. Some are just better at it and can do more.

Part 3 of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series dropped today: HOLY SH!T!!! If you’re a Star Wars fan in any capacity, THIS episode is something to behold!!! Bless the stars, I even got my greatest wish: James Earl Jones HAS reprised his role as the voice of Vader, and it seems he hasn’t missed a beat!!! His voice is as strong as ever!!!
That’s the only spoiler I’ll give… that JEJ is BACK!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Not into it, but the better half is, so I watched my first episode last week
Probably mentioned it before, but saw George Lucas at the Outback Steakhouse about 20 years ago, the town was just across the Golden gate Bridge near Sausalito

Jury rules in favor of Depp on all 3 defamation charges, grants 10 mil in damages and 5 mil in punitive (the 5 mil is capped at $350,000 by state law).

How can he win all 3 and she wins 1?
She won one about some claim made by his reps in the UK- something about her perpetrating a hoax. I didn’t read it all, but each of them made 3 claims of defamation.

It’s about fucking time….lol!
Bravo!!!

When Melvin Ingram was asked about Jaelan Phillips he said he’s a dog and has a chance to be special. He said he he’s very impressed how he goes about his work.
Good 1st period Rangers/Lightning.
At least 4 dead, multiple people injured in shooting at Tulsa, Oklahoma, medical office. Sigh… 😦
It’s an election year with much hanging in the balance, so get ready for more ‘gun violence’ to occur leading up to November. I predicted this (not here) two years ago.
Nevertheless, I’m right there with you… sigh 😦
What does the election year have to do with it? Are you suggesting this is all planned due to politics?
We’ve sent a man to the moon, we’ve been able to cure/prevent disease, we now have self-driving cars, we can now get real-time data from across the world in a matter of seconds, we’ve invented a bomb that can kill many millions of people, and we can send $80B to Ukraine in yet another proxy war with Russia…
Yet we allow our children to be soft targets in our schools? Look at the trends, to boot. Yes, I’m suggesting that a LOT of this is planned due to politics. Look no further than Justin Trudeau’s Canada, as a result (capitalizing) on the tragedy of Texas.
Our government wants us to disarm. Why? Because if we knew what they were planning to do to us, we’d revolt. Don’t think about it too hard.

NICE!!!
I’m sorry, but in your positions, I probably would have fanboyed out over George Lucus… even 20 years ago, or back in ’87!!! Think Sheldon from “The Big Bang Theory”!
M13, not calling you out but if shootings are some fucked up part of election year politics, think about how sick and twisted that is. Sigh… 😦
See above, my friend.
We might as well pack it in then. Because the elites control most of everything anyway. The poor don’t control anything and the middle class just wants to raise their kids and live a decent life. Politics and government are filled with a lot of sick fucks.
100% on politics and government being filled with a lot of sick fucks.
But I do NOT agree to just “pack it in”.
“We might as well pack it in then.” was more tongue and cheek, like throwing your arms in the air like you just don’t care, anymore.
I’ve lost a lot of faith in humanity over the years even though we do so many amazing things and many of us get along just fine. But there is a lot of evil out there and it doesn’t get dealt with properly.
Back to football…
I still believe that we could use a ‘power back’… even though Coach McDaniel doesn’t believe so.
The run game that he employs does not need a power back and there are plenty of backs on the roster that can get tough yards. The run game is about lanes for the backs to run through, not to run people over. If you execute the blocking the yards are there.

There is no way that the government is killing children as a ploy in some master plan of ending democracy.
Whoever is convincing you that there is such a conspiracy are the ones with the plan to end democracy.
It’s but a theory, nothing concrete. But to be on the record, I predict we’re going to see a LOT more shootings between now and November. Lord knows I hope I’m WRONG. 😦

AMEN
Wish you could watch the Obi-Wan Kenobi series… it deals with a lot of what you speak of, such as who can ya trust?
Why do we allow gangs to exist?
Why do we release violent criminals when we know they’ll do it again?
Why do we allow human trafficking to exist?
As a country we could eliminate all of that if we wanted to. But some sick fucks will cry racism and bigotry if the wrong people are involved.
I don’t care what a sick fuck looks like, take them out of society.
Money and power
Every lifetime politician is corrupt
Yep!
“Gangs” exist for the same reason as “the mafia,” and are actually the same, only as a form more accessible to other ethnic groups. Both of these organized crime groups thrive off commerce in activities that mainstream business pretends they won’t do because they are a “sin” (gambling, prostitution, drugs, etc.). People want these sins, however, so there is always a huge demand for them. And thus there is a vested interest among the gangs (mafia), and the politicians they bribe, to keep these “sins” to be known as sins (they get help in this from Churches) and as illegal as possible so the gangs can corner the market. People will pay huge mark-ups on drugs, sex, and other illegal “sins” because they want them.
These groups reward their members with more money for less work than if they tried to exist within a system they see as blocking them out of the money and assigning them only the menial or hard labor jobs.
They also provide a sense of family and a group of friends to people who feel they need that and don’t have it, such as no father, no role model, no one who has their back, no one to do fun stuff with.
“Gangs” and “the mafia” go back to the emergence from the Dark Ages when apparently the rule of law had succumbed to forces beyond the ability of the very disorganized and disrespected governments to protect people, allowing small territories to come under the control of bands of thugs.
Because humans crave order over chaos, these bands began to follow leaders. Since thugs prefer not to work such as farming, but rather to steal the work of those who provided the food, these “head thugs” used their bands of violent followers to extort tolls for use of a section of road and other taxes for selling a type of product.
The Renaissance saw the rise of cities resulting from improvements in technology and banking to accumulate and consolidate wealth in the hands of the “head thugs.”
The Italian city states are an easy example of this. Romeo and Juliet is a gang story.
The USA, a free democracy, became a country before Italy, because of the grip of the gangs of thugs (mafia) that did not want to give up their control of working people.
I do not want to return to the rule of thugs.
Why do those sick fucks want to allow abortions right up until birth?
What are they doing with the baby when they take it out?
What did the elite sick fucks do on Epstein Island?
Why do they want single parent or no parent homes?
Wait until they start cloning people how sick it’s going to get
All of it. There is so much extreme.
Many years ago when I drove for a living I went to hospitals and labs to provide supplies and pickup tests. I once saw a fetus in a jar. It fucked me up for awhile, I couldn’t eat lunch that day.
I am not in favor of abortion. Roe v Wade, however, came about because there were so many “back alley” abortions which killed both baby and mother.
This happened because certain church groups made pregnancy without marriage such a shameful sin against the family. This arose from the arranged marriage system in which the father of the bride must deliver a virgin to the groom due to a contract with his father.
… …
I am opposed to the trendy idea that 2sLGBTQ+ people are heroic and better than hetero people. They can love whomever they want. But that doesn’t make them better than me.
… …
I think it is sad that many women hate men so much they want to have babies without husbands.
I mean if it happens, it happens, single moms I mean, but I think it should not be the norm or praised as a “girl-power” movement or rewarded with welfare money, so that there becomes a whole segment of the female population who works the system by cranking out babies they can’t support, knowing that they can get some of my income for their kids
The bigotries of the past has created more extreme lashing out. Some people take it too far. Instead of believing in individual freedom we tribe up into all these causes against each other. People are accountable for their actions.
Naples, I consider gangs the same as the mafia. The Gangs of New York. Same stuff, I agree.
Many citizens don’t want to admit that this country was built on crime, corruption and violence as much as it was innovation and hard work, but it was.
We need term limits. As in “one and done,” or as close to it as possible.
There should be almost no one who is a “career politician.”
My friend and I were talking about this the other day. We have term limits for some offices including president. Why do senators and house reps get to run for office forever? Why are Supreme Court Justices in for life?
Senator – 2 terms at 6 years
House – 6 terms at 2 years
Scotus – 25 years
What about big govt, how do you feel about that?
Senators should have a very limited staff like maybe 3-5 people paid for by taxpayers.
Reps even less. etc. etc. all through the govt.
they should all be under social security, medicare, etc, and should not get a pension for life or any other perks beyond what normal workers get.
They should work 40 hour weeks with 2 week vaca and 15 sick days.
There are several aspects of the beginning of this country.
It was started by those seeking freedom. That’s good.
It was started by Puritans who thought everything fun is bad and
anyone who disagrees with them is a devil. That is bad.
There’s more.
But
Go Dolphins.

Honorable Mention: Eagles
I like that McDaniel is okay with the seasoned vets not having to participate in these early camps so they can gear up for TC. It gives the coaches more time to work with the young players and long shots to see where they’re at.
From some of the OTA videos I’ve seen, I’ve noticed some different drills than I’ve seen before. A lot of foot quickness work. The one where they have to stay low under a mesh roof while doing movement drills was new to me. I guess that comes from the Shanahan tree. It seems the OL are being worked hard with footwork, balance and leverage. Not that no other teams do this. LOL
I just don’t remember seeing these drills the same way in the past.
Unless injury or something else goes down, our RBs will be Edmonds, Mostert, Michel and Gaskin. Ahmed, Doaks and White have to push the envelope to win a spot.
I think Edmonds is going to be on the field a lot. He’s a 3-down back that is a reliable receiver.
Naples – Couldn’t agree more with your 11:12PM post. Having the same people on either side of the aisle in power for decades is a huge problem. Then again, I think people are just lazy in general and don’t pay attention and vote party anyway. I’m going to almost guarantee you that Bill de Blasio will win his bid for Congress, despite being in the top 3 worst Mayors ever of New York City. Just watch it happen.
I find it odd how most people on here agree on a lot of key issues, but when it comes time to vote, like you said, they just vote party
What is that 1 thing, that makes people loyal to a party?
They see what’s happened the last 2 years, from inflation to energy to Afghanistan to riots to race baiting to BLM to GND, yet they still vote the same
I think many people vote Democrat because they are afraid of the obnoxious people in the Republican party, and many people vote Republican because they are afraid of the obnoxious people in the Democrat party.
Obnoxious defined by who?
After the dems got ahold of Romney, this choir boy type was seen as a predator, they tried to deface Reagan too, they had Trump pictured as a Russian spy
Good article on Hill wanting to stay in KC and speculation, lol, the Chiefs didn’t use him properly
https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/news/miami-dolphins-wr-tyreek-hill-speaks-on-leaving-kc-chiefs-tyreek-wanted-to-be-in-kc
good that Tyreek does not appear to be a diva or a malcontent.
He seems happy to be in Miami now, although it would be natural to have some pangs of regret at leaving his crew (Mahomes and Kelce, etc.) and “homesickness” for the team and HC that took him from a tiny school to superstar.
Money will do that
X showing some love for Boyer, and why shouldn’t he, when he had his 2 best career years
Tua didn’t have a great practice yesterday we’re doomed🤪
I forgot the watermelon at Publix yesterday.

Notice the interviewer was fishing for Rosenhaus and Hill to take shots at the Chiefs, but they didn’t, at least not in the report we read.
It is important to note that the Chiefs lost in Tyreek’s last game. I thought at the time that Mahomes and or the HC / OC made some questionable decisions that cost them some points.
Especially by not just going to Hill and Kelce non stop and daring the defense to stop it.
Steve, have you seen 2000 Mules or plan to? Just wondering.
Don’t know anything about it
Oh! Dines
I have heard of it, but don’t remember anything about it, will check it out
Dinesh
It’s a documentary movie in theaters right now.
It’s available on YouTube for free
Doesn’t matter anyways, people will believe what they want or what they’re told
It’s on webtowatch.net you just have to register
Doesn’t matter anyways, people will believe what they want or what they’re told
Yup THIS ^^ is true as proved by this movie.
It ain’t just this movie, it’s videos of the shenanigans in GA after they sent everyone home, affidavits signed by 20k+ saying they saw election fraud, the truck driver from NY saying he took a truckload of filled out ballots to PA, in NV basically turning off the signature match, mysteriously stopped counting/reporting in about 7 states all of course won by biden…getting tired I’ll stop there
But you’re correct, you’ll watch this movie and see video of what went down and still say the election was on the level
Or like some admit there was cheating, but not enough to overturn the election, like that makes any sense
I guess we’re supposed to believe they cheated just to cheat a little with no intent on winning
Or you can just come to grips with the TRUTH which is Trump was a very flawed candidate that motivated the MAJORITY of Americans to vote against him.
This from X kind of says it all and leads to believe players were told to praise Tua
(On what he’s seen from QB Tua Tagovailoa)
“He’s bombing it right now. He’s doing his thing. I feel like he’s just getting better.
I guess we’re suppose to believe X coming in for the first time this offseason, after a so so Tua practice, knows Tua has been bombing it?
Reminds me an awful lot of the media parroting
Check out 40 seconds in
Snowman!
WTF????????
I just read that this morning and had the same reaction- WTF?
Congrats on the sweep, Stang. Pirates pulling their best David vs Goliath trick.
Thanks Cav. Glad to see it but wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me. Looking at the roster and payroll was convinced Bucs would suck from camp. Actually exceeding that a bit.
lol, this is pretty great
“I wasn’t really able to push the ball down the field last year because we didn’t have plays specifically to push the ball down the field. A lot of plays that were called last year were meant for one person. Either this person is open, or the play might be dead. It’s a little different now.”
Because our offense was designed by muppets…
Hey good stuff
Where did you get this from?

Yep. You could see it on tape.
Say it ain’t so?????

6/2 practice notes:
Play of the day was a 55-yard TD from Tua to Tyreek. Igbinoghene was right on Hill’s back, but the ball descended on target, on time right around the 10-yard-line and Hill finished it in the paint… until he hit Tyreek for a 69-yard score w/ another dime.

Tua had another really nice throw to Waddle when he recognized immediate pressure from Baker, ran away from it, threw it right on the money on the move to Waddle. Tua’s pocket management was on display a couple of times. Light feet, bounce around the pocket, find the target.

Tyreek had the two long TDs then scored again down around the goal line and finished it by dunking it over the goal post. He gets on top of the defense so damn fast. O.J. at one point said, “his speed is different in person.”

Still plenty of defense to go around – Zach Sieler set up shop in the backfield on multiple occasions, Jaelan Phillips came in for another (probably) sack, Darius Hodge had one late in the day, too. Wilkins effort to retrace still (always) on display.

Watched practice with O.J. At one point he said “Wilkins is special,” after big 94 won off the snap instantly and would’ve had a big collision with the running back. Next play, he and Sieler combine for a pressure and a dead play.

The coverage on the backend looks like it did yesterday, lock down. It starts with Holland and Jones directing traffic, playing all over the defense, and reacting at lightning speed. Needham was excellent again. Trill Williams grabbed an INT on a nice drive/PBU from Quincy Wilson

Tindall made some plays. Seemed to have his feet and reads right, playing fast and getting downhill against the run for a couple of plays. He showed his speed chasing a WR across the field at one point. LBs had a good day in general. Baker, Eguavoen, Riley, Hodge.

I got to watch practice with legendary coach Mike Westoff. He said in his 32 years in the NFL, he never saw a better punter than Thomas Morstead. Mike was also loving Jason Sanders, complimenting his technique, minimal movement and short stride.
cool thanks Cav
… …
Sooo Tua is finally hinting at what we all saw. Anemic playcalling. No 2nd option. No attempt at field stretching.
However
Some commenters asked if the playbook was limited by Tua or Tua was limited by the playbook.
To my eyes, the limitations were caused by the inability of the OL (and their coach) to give Tua time for a complete set of progressions. Plus they couldn’t block running lanes open so the Offense was one dimensional. This is statistical fact.
This is either on 2nd year pro Tua or the OC calling the plays, or the other OC calling the plays, or the HC cold hard staring down his assistants into paralysis so the calls went in from the QB Coach as emergency assistant playcaller). Imagine how it must be for a 2nd year QB to have that kind of chaos in his helmet speakers in the huddle of a NFL game with 300 pound guys trying to break his ribs.
oh.
Wait.
They did that.
And Tua still courageously came back and won 7 in a row before the entire offensive staff (and Tua) collapsed in the rain in Nashville. They lost to a 12-5 team, the #1 seed in the AFC.
Cheers, Naples.
No question the oline was a major factor. And I just look at the running game playcalling for my own answer to the question of ‘tua or the playbook’.
The muppets designing our offense had like 3 basic running plays, and the one overwhelmingly favored was the draw play from shotgun. We all saw it. We all hated it. We all groaned every time they ran it.
When most of the fans can sarcastically call what running play is coming next (and it continues to fail) I find it pretty hard to put that on the QB, lol.
It’s cool what Westoff said, and he’s a Special Teams guru, if I remember correctly.
Wonder what he was doing there?
Was he invited to offer some consultation on the STs to our new ST coach?
That’s awesome.
a second pair of eyes is always a good thing.
MMMM
That probably tells us who is getting the majority of snaps at center during OTAs and minicamp.
Eichenberg mentioned, out of the blue, his best position is LG
After Conner saying he was likely going to be our C, wonder if Eichenberg was pining for LG or if he’s been playing there
Our beat reporters are shit!
I have half if them blocked, and the other half I ignore most of the comments from!
Saben, Flores, McD
I missed yesterday’s orange jersey. Here is the list so far
OTA 1 Jaelan Phillips
OTA 2 Tua Tagovailoa
OTA 3 Zach Sieler
OTA 4 Christian Wilkins
OTA 5 Robert Hunt
Minicamp 1 Elandon Roberts
Minicamp 2 Jevon Holland
Boy, that spam folder must be FULL. LOL
I don’t know about you, but that last one to Tyreek looked like money
