After a thrilling playoff game, unfortunately a loss for our Miami Dolphins, the team and front office have officially entered the offseason, and changes have already been made, and rumors will swirl regarding coaching hires and possible departures, and of course player signings and leavings. It didn’t take the front office long to make one big change, they fired our defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, and also let go safeties coach Steve Gregory, outside linebackers coach Ty McKenzie, and also assistant linebackers coach Steve Frentz.
The playoff loss. It was a crazy game, our offense never really got on track, but the defense played well enough to win most games, just not that one. Mike McDaniel looked like a rookie Head Coach in his first playoff game. He struggled all game getting plays in quick enough to avoid penalties, and there were some bad ones during the game. It wasn’t just penalties, it was the timeouts we had to waste as well, but the penalties plagued us all season long, and we had 7 for 34 yards in this one. While that doesn’t seem excessive, this is something that has hampered our offense every game, and it’s a particular point that our young Head Coach must improve on next season. It’s understood that a rookie 7th RD pick was running the offense, but back in SFO, Kyle Shanahan has his 7th RD pick QB looking far more prepared. In any case, our defense was so much better than my expectations, with the exception of the last drive of the 1st half when we were tied 17-17, we allowed the Bills to run a 33 second drive from their own 25 yardline to our 22 yardline and take the lead all too easily before the half, 20-17.
With the departure of Josh Boyer, our defense may be getting a facelift. This defense that was predicated on a dominating secondary, one like we had with a healthy Xavien Howard and Byron Jones, and our two premier safeties Brandon Jones and Jevon Holland, struggled without half of those players this season. Add in the loss of Nik Needham who plays everywhere, inside and outside, and the secondary was anything but a strength this season, and our defense’s weakest link. Diminished play due to injuries is expected, however, if the defense counts on great secondary play, the ever present zero blitzes left inferior talent on an island trying to cover other teams best receivers. This was a failure for two reasons, not only did the blitzers not accomplish the task of getting to the QB, but our bevy of pass rush guys like Jaelan Phillips, Melvin Ingram, Emmanuel Ogbah (injured), Bradley Chubb weren’t getting to the QB enough either, which left easy pickings for opposing QB’s. We were bottom 6 in passing yards allowed (3992 yards), bottom 7 in passing TD’s allowed (25 TD’s), and bottom 4 in interceptions with a measly 8 INT’s all season long. CB Xavien Howard had only one INT, despite being thrown at more than any time in his career. Jevon Holland led the team with 2 INT’s, veteran ST’s ace Justin Bethel added 1 INT, scapegoat Noah Igbinoghene had a very important late game INT against the Steelers that sealed a victory for our Dolphins. Kader Kohou and seldom used S Verone McKinley each 1 INT, and LB Andrew Van Ginkel had the last of the 8. The Dolphins defense forced 13 fumble, but only recovered 6 for a total of 14 turnovers. To be fair, we did return 2 fumbles for TD’s during the regular season, and we added another against BUF in the playoff game last week.
Next year, hopefully Brandon Jones will be back at 100%, and he alone makes our secondary much better. He’s a playmaker, great blitzer, and sure tackler in the secondary. I’ll add that I hope DE Emmanuel Ogbah returns 100% as well, we missed his pressures on the QB. Christian Wilkins added another monster year on defense, he was nothing short of excellent this season.Wilkins played 84% of the defensive snaps, all 17 games, just unbelievable at such a demanding position. Wilkins made 98 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 FF’s, 7 QB hits, 6 passes defensed and 1 FR. He’s one of the best DT’s in the game. I love thinking that we’ll have Bradley Chubb and our own young budding star Jaelan Phillips as bookends, but our depth is scarce, with Melvin Ingram, Andrew Van Ginkel, Trey Flowers all not signed for next season. Even as is, there’s a lot of good to build on, but my feeling is our big NT Raekwon Davis isn’t quite good enough as a NT, or interior DT. No passes defensed at 6’7? C’mon! He never gets push up the middle either, which to me is the bigger issue. As good as our ends are and our OLB’s are, time and time again our defenders came around but routinely ran behind the QB who was able to step up and either find a receiver or run free for yardage, due to that weakness. It may be time to grow that NT tree!
The offense with Mike McDaniel, and of course QB Tua Tagovailoa was as dynamic as any Miami Dolphins offense in the last 25 years. We all hope (I think) that Tua is our QB going forward and his concussion issues of this season, and let’s face it, any injuries, are behind him. This will be the first time Tua will have the same offense 2 years in a row, and if he can play 17 games, this offense could be a top NFL unit. I know everyone moans about the O-line, but newcomers like C Connor Williams and LT Terron Armstead were exemplary this season. Armstead obviously battled injury woes, and Connor Williams had high snap issues most of the season, but as a blocker and pass protector, he was aces.and his durability was unmatched, playing every snap this season.A shoutout to T Brandon Shell, who started about 11 more games than he was expected to, and he played remarkably well, a true professional. Oh, by the way, we have no running backs as of now for next season, Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed are all unsigned and therefore UFA’s.It’s certainly possible that at least one of the two top guys, Mostert or Wilson can be re-signed, but might be time to draft a RB? Mostert is not necessarily a durable back to count on and Jeff Wilson has been a part time RB for most of his career, not a bellcow guy. RB by committee is a common theme across the NFL, but a major talent at RB can really impact an offense. I know Mostert played in 16 games this season, and Jeff Wilson played 16 games as well, (8 with SFO), but a young talented back, think Breece Hall, can elevate your offense. It would be wonderful to have a running game that opposing defenses had to gameplan for, not just the aerial circus with Hill, Waddle and others. Anyone here a little disappointed we didn’t see Erik Ezukanma? Yeah, he had 1 reception for 3 yards. I thought he’d play a lot more than that.
There’s a lot to be enthusiastic and optimistic for next season, but our DL depth , DT talent (Davis), and CB depth are a concern going forward. Can Xavien Howard return to his 2021 form? Will Byron Jones ever again suit up in a Dolphins uni? My fear is no on both counts, unfortunately. Kader Khou is a promising player, and if Nik Needham and Brandon Jones can come back healthy, that’s a good start. I believe the Noah Igbinoghene experiment is over, and Keion Crossen is better as a depth player. We need CB help. Don’t be surprised if we look for one early in the 2023 draft, not that early though because we have no 1st RD pick (Thanks Steve Ross!!!).If Terron Armstead can play healthy next season, his talent provides something we haven’t had here for too long, an extremely reliable pass protector and excellent run blocker at LT. Who knows what will happen to our 2 young-ish draftees Liam Eichenberg and Austin Jackson? Will either pan out? No need to respond Ken, I know your answer! I think Robert Jones played admirable this season at LG. I still haven’t mentioned TE, which next season will feature Durham Smythe, Cethan Carter, Hunter Long and Tanner Conner. Excited yet? Gesicki is most likely gone, and unless Mike McDaniel thinks if he has one more season with Gesicki, he can turn him into George Kittle, we won’t have a real receiving threat at TE. Well, most of all, we need to see the picture featured in the article for 17 + games next season, or we better have a damn good backup. Will that be Skylar Thompson, or do we dip into the FA QB pool, with someone like Gardner Minshew, Baker Mayfield, I can’t even type his name, but you know it well, Sam Darnold, Case Keenum (M gets wood!), or maybe Andy Dalton or Taylor Heinicke? I have no idea, but will the Dolphins have to be careful not bringing in a QB that will crave to be the starter, or maybe they can do that w/o upsetting Tua? We’ll see. Stay tuned!
Bengals
Who won the coin toss?
If the snow piles up, Cin getting ball first could be huge
Bills won the toss and deferred.
Stupid
The Bengals with two knock downs. How do the Bills respond?
Bengals and eagles please 👍
Bengals vs SF, so glad we don’t have to worry a out that dam 1st rd pick
Watching the tucker on NFLN for 1st rd of draft Philly had last pick .. I’m okay with that
The way the Bills D is playing, the coin toss is the only thing the Bills are winning today. Same for the offense
They’ll get back in it wiith a chance to win, but won’t
Bills weren’t very good last year against the Cheats in prime time in wind and snow
What happened to Romo?
He’s been an asshole last 2 weeks
That’s one thing we’ll never see Tua do
Okay Josh Allen got a knockdown with a right hand. LOL
Don’t know about the rest of y’all, but every time the Bills get a 1st down, that ‘bing-bing-bing’ bell sound bloody triggers me: I HATE IT!!!
Incomplete
What still amazes me is they reward a player going to the endzone as a ball carrier with a TD if they stick the ball out and as soon as it touches the plane gets knocked out his hands, but that play isn’t a TD. Silly as hell, but that’s a rule that won’t change, but I think it should
^^^
Chase had possession of the ball in the end zone but Milano knocks it loose one Chase is out of bounds. Not sure I agree with that
Same here.
That used to be a sure TD. Facts….
Now it’s a bathroom break and whatever happens afterwards….it’s a fucking joke….lol
Agree Mike E….and great argument, too. Way too disparate and makes no fucking sense…
Looks like a TD to me
Easily with 4 feet down….TD…play over
…but wait, D gets to try and change the play or ground or…..wtf? Lol
3 steps or a football move, or have to maintain possession through catch. Good call. that typically does not happen on a pass to the border of the field or end zone
To me, it is a pretty simple rule
Not football anymore….new rules
Why do you need to make a move in the endzone….it’s the endzone…lol
Diggs slides into corner by EZ, spends extra time making sure the lady photographer is ok, mean while the play clock is running, next thing they show is Diggs on a knee saying he’s hurt
We need to put that play into our playbook, when there’s 40 sec clock issues
Lol…I was like wtf…
Aggressive play to Burrows legs…he was out of play….SB penalty
NOT COOL how the officials tried to do the Bengals as they did our Phins last week. 😡
TD whole body crossed
Agreed!
I was talking more about that Cincy thought they had the 1st down, then the zebras said it wasn’t, and didn’t reset the play clock. Forced us into a delay of game.
IDK how mine ended up as a response to your post
These refs SUCK, Steve.
Bills fans around me don’t like me…lol
….ok
Give em shit🤪
Glad the challenge worked…I was like wtf?
Love boos in stands
Spot foul…they really don’t like me now…lol
👍👍👍👍keep it up
No way the Bills come back from 3 scores.
Burrow almost threw a pick 6 on 2 and 2
Fitting on Snickers commercial, Bengal fan with face painted with permanent paint
Gotta love Buffalo wilting in the snow.
3 scores
Should have lost to us in the snow
Like the Fins losing to a Northern team in the heat at home…,,..which does happen
Agreed!
No quick scores
Josh Allen is M.I.A.
Lol
Not really…same as last week…we fucked up
Oh…got it. …nice
It’s 27-10 Bengals over the Bills 4th quarter.
Fumble
Bills look mediocre again. If Tua can stay healthy next year the division is ours for the taking
That’s the biggest damn IF. It’s so unfair. He’s so good when he’s healthy, and so is the team
It is. That is why I want a high quality backup QB
BS
Should have been a fumble
Circle the wagons
As the wheels fall off
L O L
Stupid decision to go for it by Buffalo
Yeah, but they decided that on 3rd and 15 throwing short
Agreed, 3 scores and FG is part of that equation with 4 and 6, imo
Krishna start celebrating loudly
Called out the stupid 4th d call…lol
Got peoples’ heads shaking…lol
Lol
Hope Cin gets a rub it in score
About to cash out…the party’s over…lol
Glad the neutral site does not come in to play. Totally impressed with Cincinnati.
Yessir! Agreed.
In a way it does, doesn’t it? If the game was played and Cincinnati won, wouldn’t they have the tie braker over KC? I dunno, thought I read that
Nfl spotter = 🦗
YEAH I WAS SCREAMING THIS!!!
A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER ALLEN GOT HIS BELL RUNG HELMET TO HELMET FROM HIS O-LINEMAN AND WAS SLOW GETTING UP. WHERE WAS THE SPOTTER!!???? HE SHOULD NOT HAVE FINISHED THE GAME ACCORDING TO THE TEDDY RULE.
I’d have been pissed all week, if Buffalo had won this game, knowing Mahomes is hurt, not likely to put up much of a fight
Buh-bye, Buffalo!!!
Not sure KC, if they win, deserves the home game if full season played and Cincy won out…smarter people know better than me
Cin has 4 losses, KC playing 17 games 3 losses
THIS GAME PROVED THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY DEPTH IN THE OFFENSIVE LINE!! –Minus 3 starting O-Linemen, Cincinnati STILL pushed BUFFALO all over the field paced by their BACK-UP O-Linemen!!!
Miami MUST DRAFT TWO Quality O-Linemen during their first THREE PICKS if they’re going to successfully compete next season with the Bengals and Bills. And, thanks to some of Ross’s idiot mistakes, they won’t have a first round pick to draft a real stud O-Lineman!!!
NO ONE was more thrilled by Cincy’s demolition of Buffalo at home than me!!
Next to death and taxes, the one thing you can absolutely count on is that “THE “O” IN BUFFALO STANDS FOR SUPER BOWL WINS!!!”
Go Barry Jackson!!
Romo’s lost me…never really had me…but liked some of insights. Now he’s spitballing…lol
I’m NOT JOKING!! — Romo needs to be checked for CTE.
That would splain it
Lmao
Sooooo the Bengals who were decimated on the OL made it once again to the Conference Championship, spare me.
Backups matched up very well with Buffalo, whose DL hasn’t been the same since Von’s injury
… the rest of us too…lol. I don’t fucking understand…lol
I think they had a head start…lol
It’s not just Romo. No one talks about Tua in the future, they just don’t. I mean, maybe we’re fucking silly for thinking he’s going to play next season and actually play the whole season
Good let them forget him and us. I prefer when they do that
Prescott with another stupid pic
This game has the feel of a Dallas win, hope im wrong
Purdy playing like Mr Irrelevant
I AGREE WITH KEN. Mike McCarthy will be fired tomorrow by Jerry Jones.
Well I don’t think we should be naive in what might happen….regarding Tua.
And, that’s why I think it starts with OL…as much “improvement” as it seemed may have happened, it’s no where close to being reliable…that is kind.
You protect the QB….you blow people off the line….
…ok get Tua a bigger helmet…lol
He needs a mascot helmet
My goodness…another miss
Look at his eyes it tells all, he’s lost
Looked like, if it wasn’t blocked, would’ve been wide left
If the NFL approves Tua’s new helmet, he’ll defintiely make it through the season unscathed.
You owe me a beer
lol, not really the same joke
Lol…
ON another subject, I expect Florida Atlantic to rise to 23rd ranking in the next AP Poll of college basketball teams after their 18th consecutive win, this time over UTEP in El Paso.
In 1966, UTEP was known as Texas Western. They won the National Championship when they defeated Kentucky in the Final Four, – – that Kentucky team now known as “Rupp’s Runts!”
Stinker the clinker is done in Dallas after this game
Dak be Dak
LOL, Niners holder just pulled a Lucy and picked up the ball before Gould could kick it
Hard to see the Cowboys winning this kind of game without a kicker…
Yeah
Dallas makes going for six literal
USE the 2nd round pick for the best LB available and the two 3rd round picks for the two best remaining OLs available.
Round 7 pick a Place kicker.
Totally agree
Thanks,KEN.
ME & Mrs. OD went to see “A Man Called Otto” today.
BOTH of us thought it was Tom Hanks greatest performance EVER!”
———–
Time to walk the Greyhound and get my beauty rest.
The Old Dolfan is OUT!
He was just playing possum!
Wow Dak really sucks
He was really bad. Should have been a pick-6 to Greenlaw.
smh, Schultz. Two of ’em
what a dumb play, lol
That was ugly
I am very interested to see if there were ANY players held out of a game by the NFL spotters this season OTHER THAN Teddy Bridgewater, who was NOT diagnosed with a concussion, but still had to sit a week??!!!???? I don’t recall the spotters sitting anyone. Do you guys?
Conspiracy much?
Huh? I did not say there was a conspiracy. I ASKED if anyone remembered the spotter stopping anyone else from going back in a game. From my search on Google it appears no, but that some “Should have” according to the controversies the articles are reporting.
I guess there were some plays where the spotter SHOULD HAVE but did not. Here is one article.
I can agree with this list
https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/lists/2022-dolphins-season-awards/?taid=63ce84daf6f20a000185dfd8&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
I agree also
The only thing I would change is Tua should be most improved as well- not sure if the criteria is they can only win one award though.
I can agree with Dane Brugler, including the TE position, but it depends on what you are looking for there. There are a number of good receiving TE’s that he has on his list who didn’t line up in line much and lack in blocking. Do we want another Gesicki project?
I think in MM’s offense he’ll want more blocking at TE to go along with Smythe. That will help get the running game to where it needs to go.
I agree.
When you look at a TE like Kittle, he’s a beast of a receiver but he’s a blocker first. Would be nice to find a guy similar.
I looked at Dane Brugler’s latest big board I could find and he only lists 3 TE’s in his top 50 not 5. Many of the other sites only have 1 or 2 TE’s in their top 50. Maybe one other had 3.
Tua Tagovailoa should not be the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins next year
That’s the title of a Fansided article. I quick read it and got bored. Tom Brady gets mentioned and some other college guys.
As long as Tua wants to continue playing and he’s good to go he will be the QB next year. People are going to write all kinds of crazy shit this offseason and then that’s what’s going to happen. Tua will be the starter.
LOL Barry, you tell ’em.
Awesome 🤩
One TE I really like and think he would be an upgrade over Gesicki due to being a better route runner and YAC ability with 4.6 speed is Dalton Kincaid from Utah. I think he is the best receiving TE in the draft. Has 35 receiving TD’s in his college career (4 seasons). Has great hands and body control. Downside is he is only 6’4 240 and not that good a blocker but probably still better than Gesicki. He is experienced at lining up in multiple positions but that also means he spent most of his snaps not lined up in line.
I like his game though and with his athleticism and body control, I think his blocking ability can be coached up much more so than Gesicki. Could have Big potential.

——————
I know, many of the TE’s in this draft and receiver first guys like Kincaid and Musgrave. Michael Mayer is a for sure top 25 pick and out of our range and the 6’7 270 Darnell Washington from UGA is also climbing draft boards and may go top 40 out of our range also.
Kittle was a 5th rounder so you never know. 😉
Kelce top of 3rd also.
Thinking of the draft by position and not anyone specific, this is what I think we should target with our picks.
2. CB – We need a jolt of quality young players with Howard entering his 8th season and Byron likely gone. Needham and Trill Williams coming off of season ending injuries. Kader was a great find. After him I don’t think the rest are starter caliber. The 2nd round is usually good for corners. There always seems to be a run in the 2nd round.
3a. RB – I’d like to see us get younger and find a guy with upside that fits what we run.
3b. OL – Keep adding talent until we build a strong unit. It’s time to draft scheme oriented players for the system we run.
6. OL – You never know in the later rounds but I’d probably target OL again to keep with the sentiment above.
7. NT – A big man who isn’t necessarily a game changer but he can hold his own at the point of attack. Some young depth.
I see you left out TE. You think F/A? Hayden Hurst of the Bengals is a F/A next year.
Could go TE in the late rounds. A FA vet who is a proven blocker and can help move the chains would be good. We have explosiveness with Hill and Waddle. I’d like to see us get more physical on offense.
Hurst would be that guy. Plays like an animal!
True but what’s his price?
Hmmm…
Thy Knight (@ThyKnight3) says:
January 23, 2023 at 1:28 pm
True but what’s his price?
—————-
Shouldn’t command a whole lot. He signed a 2 year contract with Atlanta for 3.5 mil for 2020-21 but his 2022 one year contract with Cincy was 3.4mil this last season. He had 52 receptions this last season for 8 ypc and 2 TD’s. Has 14 career TD’s over 5 seasons. He is a block first TE who plays very aggressively.
He had 5 rec on 6 targets for 59 yards, 1 TD and 4 first downs yesterday vs the Bills.
Okay that’s doable.
I cannot see Cincy letting him walk. He’s been a huge weapon for Burrow. My guess is he doesn’t even make it to FA.
Very possible.
Some insight at LB and coach Anthony Campanile who will interview for the DC job.
Tim, for the type of TE you want after Michael Mayer is probably
Darnell Washington, 6’7 270, UGA, in 2nd round possibly 3rd
Sam Laporta 6’4 249, Iowa, 3rd round
Cameron Latu, 6’4 243, Alabama, maybe late 3rd round
Zack Kuntz, 6’8 251, Old Dominion, 4th to 6th round
Payne Durham, 6’5 255, Perdue, 5th to 6th round
Josh Whyle, 6’6 245, Cincinnati, 5th to 6th round
Luke Schoonmaker, 6’6 250 Michigan, 6th round
Ben Sims, 6’4 250, Baylor, 6th to 7th round
George Takacs, 6’6 247, Boston College, 7th round
Will Mallory, 6’5 245, Miami, 7th to UDFA
Davis Allen, 6’5 250, Clemson, 7th to UDFA
Daniel Barker, 6’4 250, Michigan State, UDFA
This is what I am able to come up with as far as leaving out TE’s who have issues with blocking. It cuts out quite a few of the top 10. I found that there are a couple road grader types in the late rounds like Ben Sims and George Takacs.
I like the Idea of going CB, OT and RB in 2nd and 3rd.
I would be happy if we could get Durham, Schoonmaker or Sims in the 6th.
I think MM knows we need to block our plays better. We need better fits for the system.
Nothing wrong with adding a young back. That’s the way you should always do it. Even UDFAs. Look for backs that fit the system.
BBM, you follow the draft. You know the run on corners in the 2nd round. Happens almost every year.
Yes sir! I think 5 go in the first round with another run on corners in the 2nd. Especially due to a lack of talent on OL and LB (not Edge) in this draft.
Retired Bronco’s DE Derek Wolfe has found things other than QBs to tackle in retirement.
Holy shit that’s a big freaking cat!
Huge — but I’m most impressed that for some reason he decided to go after it with just a bow.
Couldn’t that animal have been tranquilized and placed somewhere else instead of killed?
Perhaps, but it killed two dogs and was sleeping under someone’s porch. Way too used to humans even in a rural area. And drop it off wherever, those cats roam and humans are there.
They also tend to return to where they were removed. He would have had a permit from state game, so essentially they were hiring him to go kill it.
I agree TK….it’s the cats’ domain and living free…then wtf?
Agreed. This angers me
Y’all need to stay in the city. But quit killing the rats. It’s their domain and they’re just living free.
Lol
BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA!!!
😆
Some of these are just too good not to share.
Brian Flores, Steelers’ senior defensive assistant/LBs coach, is interviewing for the Cardinals HC position on Monday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
We have an out clause in Jason Sanders contract for 2023 with 0 dead cap, I believe. Otherwise, he will be under contract for 3.7 mil in 2023 and over 4 mil per in 2024, 25, and 26. He becomes an UFA in 2027.
What to do????
Restructure or move on.
^
Move on.
With the futures contracts handed out, we currently have 45 players on the roster for 2023. This puts our 2023 cap at over -14 mil.
45 more spaces to fill on the roster.
That’s not good. They will figure it out, but we handed out a LOT of guaranteed money, so it’s going to affect us at some point. Making Byron Jones a June 1 cut would save us $14.5. That almost has to be done now.
I agree
😂

Tucker just interviewed Wolfe. No, he was not hired or contracted to kill it. He did it of his own volition and it was 100% legal to do so.
True he wasn’t contracted. Lot of rules to it tho and a license required among other things.

Second comment stands though.
True.
BB Mike,
Again, great draft analysis as usual, man. I’m hoping by Wednesday to really dip my toes into the ’23 Draft.

I like your train of thought here, but GM M13 is coming away with a TE in the ’23 Draft.
It’s all good and self righteous, until it’s your porch!
Go pet the buffalo in Jellystone! 😉
Very true as well.
This mountain lion could have very easily and quickly turned into a man-eater. I hate to see wildlife executed, but I totally understand this.
I know I would probably feel if it was pet or porch was affected but I still can’t help feeling angry. There has to be another way. The cat was just doing what was instinctual. It is such magnificent creature it just gets me mad that it was essentially just just hunted for sport
I don’t believe it was hunted for sport, Hulkster. To hear Wolfe tell his story, it was more about protecting humans, cats, and dogs.
Wolfe said he’s going to eat it, not take it to a taxidermist to have it stuffed as a trophy kill or otherwise.
You can only have 1 apex predator in the area!
Everything else is prey
Yet there he was posing with it
