As Naples was able to convey so clearly, this roster is basically set. There are only a couple of spots on the roster in which anyone drafted in this 2023 NFL Draft can make even the slightest impact on this season, and beyond. With that in mind, let’s once again look at those spots and the players that could have a chance to make that impact. To me, Tight End is the easiest. We have two blocking TE’s, Durham Smythe and Eric Saubert, and then we have a tweener, Tanner Conner, who was a former college WR converted to a TE. Realistically though, Conner is at best what we hoped former Dolphins TE Mike Gesicki, a dangerous receiver. Neither Smythe or Saubert has proven that they can be reliable receivers, but Conner has elite speed for the position (4.37 40) and hops as well with a nearly 40″ vertical. I’ve already illustrated that neither TE is a true receiving threat between Smythe and Saubert, they have a total of 121 receptions, 88 for Smythe over 5 seasons, and 33 over 6 seasons for Saubert, 3 TD’s for Smythe, 2 for Saubert. Those career totals don’t add up to one season for Niners TE George Kittle, who HC Mike McDaniel had the services of in SF as the Offensive Coordinator.
This brings us to Darnell Washington, who already has established that he’s a solid in-line blocking TE, with the size to get bigger, and he’s already shredded. His pass catching is more on potential than actual production, or he’d likely be the first TE off the board. Taking into account that TE is probably one spot where someone could potentially slide into early on, I wouldn’t be upset if we traded up to get him, and it looks that might be a necessity to guarantee he’s on our roster. If your roster is already mostly set, and you only have 4 picks, none of them on day one, and two of them on day 3, I see nothing wrong with acquiring one impact player in exchange for one of our 3 other picks. I think Washington has the size and speed to become a good receiver, and the fact that he could line up now and block on the line and downfield just as easily makes him an easy choice.
Another position where I think a player could help us right away is RB. Let’s face it, we have a RB room that screams “Running Back by Committee!!” There’s not one feature back on our roster, and one half of our RB room is signed through ’24, the other half on year contracts. Adding a versatile RB like Jamhyr Gibbs would be an easy pick. Gibbs increased his carries and receptions each year, and was a big part of the Alabama offense. He has a similar skillset to Mostert, Ahmed and Gaskin, in that he’s a very good receiver out of the backfield, can run either between the tackles, and has the speed to break a big run at any time with 4.36 speed. Mostert had career highs in carries (181) and yards (891) in his 8 year career. Wilson also had career highs last season, splitting the season between the Niners and Dolphins, finishing with 176 carries and 860 yards. None of our backs have played an entire season as a lead back getting the lions share of carries. Adding some young talent to the pool makes sense. Improve the depth, and very likely, one of either Ahmed or Gaskin would be either released or traded.
To me, it sure seems like the Dolphins staff is committed to developing OG Liam Eichenberg. If it were up to Ken, we’d have already moved on from Eich, but even Ken knows we invested an early 2nd RD pick, in order to do so we traded up from #50 and traded an additional 2022 3rd pick to get to #42 to take the Notre Dame OL. It’s sensible to get something back on your investment if you truly see the potential there. He absolutely has not realized that potential as of yet, and RT Austin Jackson is certainly on his last chance, being 2024 would be the fifth year option for Jackson, a $14M + decision, in which Jackson would need a standout year to have the Dolphins pick up that 5th year option. To think the Dolphins may spend another 2nd RD pick on an OL is not folly. I don’t think anyone here would be disappointed if we went that direction. Once again, there are a couple of interior OL that could give Eich a run for his money in this draft. TCU OG Steve Avila is a massive lineman, 6’3.5, 332 lbs., who is very light on his feet for such a big guy. He’s also a team captain, leader of men, and could potentially be a day one starter. Many here feel we need to upgrade the O-line, Avila could remedy that. Another OL I’ve mentioned is OL John Michael Schmitz. He is widely considered to be the top interior lineman, specifically OC prospect. I know some people get bent out of shape when you say we could move C Connor Williams to OG, (where he played 4 seasons for the Dallas Cowboys) and have Schmitz at C. Williams is a very solid player who played every-single-snap last season at C. He struggled some with high snaps, but otherwise it was hard to criticize his play. Schmitz is a true C that could step in day one, and moving Connor Williams to LG gives us a strong left side, with Armstead at LT and Williams at LG.
There’s always different ways to look at things, and we may just end up being patient, see who falls to our spot at each draft pick, and end up with 4 players, or we might get aggressive and package a pick or two to get a player. I’d prefer the latter, as I feel if we’re going to draft players in the 2nd RD and 3rd RD, these players better be roster worthy and at least in my estimation, should have some impact, even in their rookie season. Keep in mind we drafted LB Channing Tindall last season who made zero impact last season, but we’ve also seen Grier trade up for players he wants as he did with OG Liam Eichenberg. Whatever they do, I just hope these players we draft make our team better not only in the future, but this year as well.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Raheem Mostert will get him some touchdowns on the outside stretch play

BBM
Hey both of those last 2 mocks of yours are spot on to our needs.
I’d be happy with either of those.
Thanks!
The more I look at this year’s draft,
the more it seems to be rich in RBs of the exact type we would want.
This might be a really good year to get a young set of legs that fits McDaniel’s offense.
I would hate to pass up on getting one just because “our room is full.”
Happy Easter people!
I dunno, one minute I’m thinking trade up and get 2 starters. Then I’m thinking down when I see BBM’s drafts. Finally yep stay put. Decided I don’t want to be Chris Grier.
Happy Easter peoples !! Mike E great write and Piggy, so glad to hear the great news 👍 I’m on the fence regarding trading up or down and I think we are in a good situation that I’m not worried either way 🐕
Actually I’m on the side that says f#ck the picks and get a playmaker or two.
Happy fertility ritual festival
That’s May Day.
No that is happy communist festival day
May.Day is literally a fertility festival. May Pole, pulled wandering of to have sex, etc.
Raheem Mostert is fast becoming my favorite player lol because of madden
Madden enthusiasts run Mostert run him again and again and again.
You can run him in Madden. Odds are you run him too much in reality and he’ll miss some time
So I got this last week and all I can say is it is fun as hell to play. It will be attending the next fest as it’s carbon fiber so don’t need to worry about warping or other damages.
That’s pretty damn cool!

——————-
100%
RBs are the most likely to succeed as rookies of any position group because they have the least to learn and benefit most from young legs vs. experience.
Both Wilson and Mostert got banged up last year,
and almost all RBs in the league did, too.
I mean they get hit hard every play they play, get gang tackled, and their knees and ankles get twisted and fallen upon etc. as part of what they do.
Even if they don’t carry the ball, they are asked to block guys who are from 25 to 100 pounds heavier.
Let’s get the next Alvin Kamara or Austin Ekeler and LFG.
Koepka is struggling. Can’t make it easy on Rahm.
Not sure that either Gibbs or Washington make it to #51, but I’d have no problem moving up to get either if we really want one of them. We don’t need draft picks, we need players!
my sentiments exactly
We are just one or two players away from the Super Bowl.
We don’t need any more developmental projects.
We need a seam threat YAC TE and a one-cut sprinter @ RB.
We need them to make chunk plays this year.
We need a DT that can get QB pressure off the nose.
That’s about it.
Maybe
LOL
Happy Easter!
MOB LIST OF POTENTIAL TARGETS @ 51 (R2P20)
Copy and paste after you’ve added your prospects, please don’t duplicate a name already on the list.
QB: Hendon Hooker
RB: Jahmyr Gibbs
IOL: Steve Avila, John Michael Schmitz
T: Cody Mauch, Blake Freeland, Matt Bergeron, Dawand Jones
TE: Darnell Washington, Michael Mayer, Luke Musgrave
WR: Jalen Hyatt
EDGE: Adetomiwa Adebawore
DI: Mazi Smith, Siaki Ika
LB: Drew Sanders
CB: Emmanuel Forbes
S: Sidney Brown
Silly me, I forgot to add LB to the list and especially my man-crush Drew Sanders! Thanks to whoever added him yesterday!
Ah, it was Naples. Thanks, Naples!
I’ll say this about Luke Musgrave: he’s probably the closest resemblance to Mike Gesicki of all TEs in this Draft class. However, Gesicki was even faster, better VJ, better hands, wasn’t coming off a season-ending injury, and they both suck at blocking.
Gesicki is a seam-threat TE who had fewer snaps than Durham Smythe in the McDaniel Offense last season. He went to the Patsies* for a mere $4.5M this season (1-year deal)… he would have stayed with us for the same $$$.
Point: I do NOT believe we’re looking for a seam-threat TE who cannot block.
^
Times a million
OBJ to the Ravens. That’s a big FU to the Jets
I know. Didn’t he JUST visit them?
Maybe A-Rod said he didn’t want him. lol
Apparently that meeting didn’t go so well, lol
Tua is practicing with his receivers. Excellent….not sure why that’s not good or questionable…lol.
https://phinphanatic.com/2023/04/09/tua-tagovailoa-practicing-teammates-everything-leader/
BBM – Even worse bro, the meeting never happened!
Damn! LOL
I could watch these 2022 highlights all day long… DREW SANDERS!
He just might be the next Brian Urlacher.
We have to remember, Sanders was a backup Edge at Alabama for 2 years. He transferred to Arkansas and was moved to ILB and excelled.
He has only played the position 1 YEAR! Just think when he really learns how to play the position.
In his first and only season playing ILB he had 103 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 3 FF, 1 INT and 5 PD’s.
He has special written all over him, IMO.
Arkansas also moved him around a bit. He has that versatility.
I could only imagine what he would turn into under Fangio.
I’d love to get that guy. Is Baker a FA next year. HMMM
The difference between Gesicki and Musgrave is YAC. For reasons I never understood Gesicki could be arm tackled easily. Also his speed was straight line. And his signature move was the box out and high point.
I’m not very familiar with Musgrave but supposedly he has some wiggle to him as a runner and he runs routes where he can catch the ball in stride going toward the goal line.
The agent said the Dolphins were serious about trading for Darren Waller, who is a converted WR not an inline TE.
Much rather OBJ to the Ravens than the jest although actually, he might be done.
He didn’t look all that for the Rams, but did show up, when they needed him the most, but I tend to agree he may be done
Did anyone catch the Bayou Barbie parody on SNL. steveccnv, it’s hilarious and right on point….lol. Enjoy!
I haven’t watched that show, since mid 90s, when there was some actual comedy there
I bet it’s right on woke point, imagine if the roles were reversed
Privilege or equality, which do they really want?
LOL….how about racism or misogyny? You seem to understand both.
The racism of Reese comes in loud and clear
I was at a restaurant a couple of weeks back and the LSU game was on, just caught the last few seconds of the game, it was obvious what Reese was then, didn’t expect her to remove all doubt after they won the title
Rapinoe was the one that really turned me off to women’s sports, after she made it political
In 2019 was in Germany, soccer was about the only thing on TV, that was watchable, including women’s soccer
Never really got into women’s basketball, it’s not a good product like soccer or even golf
The players wanted FA, but when something doesn’t go their way, the league is cold, disrespectful, too business like…

Poor guy only got 628m
https://www.the-sun.com/news/7831071/won-billion-powerball-lottery-jackpot-penalties-sued/
OBJ to the Ravens for 15m proves he’s only in it for the $$
Even if Jackson stays there, he’ll get less targets than he’d get elsewhere
Shoot, I’d even play for the patsies for $15M a year.

https://dolphinstalk.com/2023/04/does-mike-mcdaniel-believe-he-can-get-all-that-greatness-from-offensive-line/
This article is NOT for Ken.
This seems to be a recycled article, being it’s been known for some time that Coach McDaniel isn’t giving up on either Eich or Austin Jackson this season.
However, Coach does not preclude adding competition for either player. I could easily see us drafting an O-Lineman with either of our first two picks this Draft.
😡🤢
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/chase-edmonds-explains-struggles-with-miami-dolphins
You know where Edmonds didn’t put any blame? On the Dolphins team or the coaches. He took it all on himself, which is the way it should be and was nice to read. I’m rooting for him now to succeed in Tampa.
Sometimes, in a limited sample size or a “brief encounter,” an erroneous opinion can be formed.
That being said,
We needed instant offense from Edmonds, not success by trial and error.
This was simply about poor performance, not opinion of the player. He was terrible for the brief time he was here. Would he have been better over a full 16 game season? His previous numbers indicate that he would have, and he would have needed to be truly awful for his average level of play not to improve as the season went on.
lol, I’ll get used to a 17 game season one of these days.
wow the highlights for Israel Abanikanda look great.
even shows good soft hands
Yes, I have put this up before. I really like him and Sean Tucker.

Ugh, I still haven’t even played it yet. I thought I’d get to play it over the weekend, but ended up installing new trim in our skylights instead. I’d rather have played Madden…
I made one with orange pants and a white jersey
Haven’t gotten that far. My nephew is coming to visit this week so I’m sure he will kick my ass playing and I will learn nothing.

Last sentence is the important one
running out of patience
for the return of NFL football
This is going to be the longest offseason ever
The Dolphins’ voluntary offseason program begins next Monday.
YAY!! It is creeping closer.
Lol…yep
From Barry Jackson
Since Don Shula wisely picked future three-time Pro Bowl guard Keith Sims with the 39th overall pick in the 1990 draft, the Dolphins have selected 17 guards or tackles in the second, third or fourth rounds.
Do you know how many of those 17 turned out to be very good players?
One: Current Dolphins right guard Robert Hunt, a second-round pick in 2020, and the book on his career is far from complete.
His reasoning why they should not pick an o-lineman in the 2nd or 3rd this year is they will miss, still need an o-lineman and miss out on other positions.
I tend to agree. They SUCK at drafting O-line.
The problem isn’t the players they’re selecting in those rounds, it’s the lack of development
OL is a tough position to transfer to in the NFL, you have to change their mindset, from being dominant due to more talented, to trying to be a technician
Year after year we see the large majority of OL rookies struggle, partly why inline TEs do too
Another reason we’ve struggled with drafted OL has been, because of the lack of patience
We always seem to be desperate on the OL
I would take a 6th to unload his contract.

I would give a 6th
“Our NFL Wire editors made their selections for the first two rounds of the draft”
Who the F is Mike Masala of Dolphins Wire? This was his pick in the editors draft.
51. Miami Dolphins: TE Sam LaPorta, Iowa (who is a 3rd round prospect on most boards)
With these players still on the board:
EDGE Isaiah Foskey, Notre Dame
RB Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama
LB Drew Sanders, Arkansas
DE/DT Bryan Bresee, Clemson
DT Siaki Ika, Baylor
DT Keeanu Benton, Wisconsin
He’s pressing, reaching for a TE.
No need, the draft is deep in TEs this year.
To pass up Gibbs for LaPorta shows a lack of knowledge of our roster’s finer points.
And Bresee and Sanders have huge upside.
I bet Grier would not skip them for LaPorta.
Even Ika and Benton are better value @ 51.
LaPorta is a poor man’s Gesicki. I don’t want any part of him

Ravens don’t want to pay Lamar, but are willing to throw 15m away on OBJ
I think this signing is Lamar’s writing on the wall, that they won’t be paying him
I saw some headlines (didn’t drill down into the articles) that Lamar was heavily recruiting OBJ to the Ravens. Seems weird because if that is the case it just puts more pressure on him to get the deal done.
Maybe he actually does play on the franchise tag this year.
Tua with a new stache. Going into the season like it’s 1972. Let’s get us another SB.
Omar says:
“My theory was that once he got enough experience under his belt — say, 30 games — the traits that made him a record-setting college quarterback at Alabama would make him a top five passer in the NFL.”
———–
Is that true? I don’t remember, was Omar in Tua’s corner saying he would be a top 5 guy in the league, or is this just some BS that he sorta said once while Tua was balling, and now he’s claiming it was his position all along?
You know there’s a problem, when the team puts out a hype video and your qb is underthrowing the receiver
Anyone remember this gem by Omar?
Omar is full of shit, he never liked Tua
LOL, oh yeah I remember that one.
I was pretty sure he was full of it, but couldn’t trust my memory enough to say definitively.
Omar thought it was a great idea for Miami to trade for Watson, while Tua was here….
Omar wanted a black QB in Miami sooooooo bad. It was like his whole underlying theme.
Is Tua too white for Omar?
https://nypost.com/2023/04/10/lamar-jackson-odell-beckham-hit-the-club-after-ravens-signing/
It’s pretty crazy that A-Rod to the stej isn’t official yet. And it’s also pretty crazy that where Lamar Jackson plays next season isn’t yet settled. It’s as though Lamar is waiting for A-Rod to make his move first, and the stej are keeping Lamar on line 2 just in case A-Rod burns them.
I find this whole matter to be… entertaining! 🙂
———-
Those crazy Lions, LOL. It seems like every single year they’re looking to draft a new CB. They finally got ONE right in Darius Slay (albeit he took more time than usual to maturate), then let him go to the Eagles.
Seems they’ve been in CB purgatory since the days of Dre Bly.

Haskins parents are alleging there was some huge scheme to rob and blackmail Haskins. They are suing everyone from people he knows who gave him drugs (to rob and blackmail him), to the truck driver for speeding and being reckless, to the Dept of Transportation and some contractor for poor signage on the road, to the rental car company for providing him with a mechanically faulty car that led to it running out of gas.
I guess just sue everyone who ever had contact with Haskins, because it was everyone else under the moon at fault, not him.
I wonder if Florida will now have to start using road signage like we have near the border in Southern CA…
Nah…We have Florida Man. More like Frogger here.
Money train hit the final station. Gotta get on a new train.
Yep, throw everything at the wall to see what sticks and spits up money.
Sooooooo, let me get this straight, Haskins had more than double the legal amount of alcohol in his system and these people conspired to MAKE him drive drunk and on Ketamine? Those nefarious villains. And the car with the mechanical problems that made it run out of gas……Smells awful lot like a desperate cash grab by losers who lost their cash cow.
The car issues making it run out of gas had me weak
Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV for $249 (Pre-sale – until June 1) for subscribers and $379 for non-subscribers. Add $40 if you want RedZone.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be purchasing that soon.
I tried earlier but they aren’t quite ready. Gonna try on my TV next.
Still in the “Coming Soon” phase.
I think it’s like $73 bucks for youtube tv, so i guess you can save $25 by ordering that for a month and getting the presale price, then canceling the youtube TV after a month.
True. I was already subscribing since I cut the cord.
I’ll have to look more into Youtube TV. I’m not sure what kind of functions it has.
It would be nice to be able to record, rewind, etc., in the middle of games. I haven’t been able to do that in recent years. Of course maybe I can get that just with Sunday ticket without having to be subscribed.
This little piggy went to YouTube
We are probably priced out of this one
I would think so
He’s on his rookie contract, but he’s looking for a new deal.
Bills have been doing a lot of pre draft visits with all the prospective 1st and 2nd round WR’s.
Another mock draft out today having us take TE Tucker Kraft at 51. I think that is a reach also. Just like LaPorta.
^
From what I remember Omar was wishy washy on Tua. He pointed out strengths and limitations in his game but he doesn’t dislike him.
What Omar thinks of Tua changes with his underwear
I gave up trying to decide who’s a reach or not especially after the 1st round because I really don’t know. I’ve seen it go either way.
I’m so excited I don’t have to find a stream to watch a game this year. 😊
Me too. I can’t wait to just give them my money and get rid of all the damned wires and cords coming off my tv, lol.
And no more clicking little ‘x’s, closing down ads, and finding new streams. Yay!
Cav – Not sure about the record, stop, etc. with the ticket. You can do it with everything else on YouTube TV as far as I know.
Awesome! They’d better give the ticket the same functionality
So what’s this YouTube stuff all about?
YouTube is selling the NFL Sunday Ticket for $249/$379 (with YoutubeTV subscription/without) until June 1. Or they will be. Sales link isn’t active yet.
Man what a breath of fresh air this guy is!
That’s great
Piggy – Something from Omar on Devin White.
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-and-the-idea-of-trading-for-devin-white
Didn’t realize this about Xavian Howard’s contract..
“Howard has four years left on the extension he signed in 2022, but the Dolphins could walk away from the deal next offseason and save $14.5 million of cap space by releasing him with a post-June 1 designation, according to spotrac.com.”
It’s all about what are you doing for me lately.
That’s why it would be wise to draft his replacement. Emmanuel Forbes is a 100% fit in Fangio’s Defense.
We can do it next year too, I don’t see the rush.
Here you go Cav – Last paragraph. Unlimited DVR.
https://sports.yahoo.com/youtube-tv-announces-pricing-2023-130412491.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall
IDK, that seems to say you get all that with youtube TV but it doesn’t mention the ala carte ticket.
“On YouTube TV, members will have access to features like the brand new multiview as well as unlimited DVR storage, personalized recommendations, the ability to view key plays, NFL fantasy data, real time stats and hide spoilers,” Christian Oestlien, vice president of product management for YouTube TV and connected TV, said in a statement.
I guess we’ll find out. That also says the ala carte price without redzone is $349, not $379, so we have some conflicting info out there.
Like you said, it isn’t showing as available yet on youtube, so I guess we’ll find out soon. Either way, it’s here and you don’t have to order flipping directv for 2 years, woohoo, lol.
Lol…just tell me what I have to pay to see the Dolphins…
…I need tech support…lol
Playing Madden this year has got me so psyched for the season to start already. Our team is explosive. On both sides of the ball
That’s amazing! 😉
Expectations…lol
I started a trial of YouTube TV a couple of days ago. I did the basic, not 4K. I feel like the picture is choppy, not nearly as clear as DirecTV. Anyone have the 4K YouTube TV?
Haven’t seen either, but we probably won’t get the Sunday ticket in 4k even if you add on the 4k subscription.
The networks don’t broadcast in 4k, that is why Directv never broadcast the ticket in 4k. It’ll be the same for Youtube until the networks change the broadcast
Found a little more on the DVR and playback stuff. Looks like it’ll only be available on Youtube TV. But you may get multi-view and ‘key plays’ available ala carte.
“Our teams have been hard at work building a great experience for fans as we inch closer to the 2023 NFL season. On YouTube TV, members will have access to features like the brand new multiview as well as unlimited DVR storage, personalized recommendations, the ability to view key plays, NFL Fantasy data, real time stats and hide spoilers.”
“And we’re also bringing some of these innovations to NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube Primetime Channels, such as key plays and multiview. Users who subscribe through Primetime Channels will see live NFL games featured prominently in their feeds, so they can quickly jump into the action on game days, directly on YouTube.”
So I have to decide if I want to keep my NFL subscription during the season for $9.99 monthly to replay any game during the season, or if I want to switch to Youtube TV so I can record and playback during the broadcast.
I’ve really missed the last few years being able to rewatch a play or pause for a half hour to skip commercials in the middle of a broadcast.
Decisions, decisions…lol
Explosive
Fuck you tube…wtf… I will figure it out..lol
Once you get set up, it’ll be easy. Assuming you have a smart tv connected to the internet. Without that it’s a bit more complicated.
If you have a smart tv, you’ll be able to just stream directly from the tv. You’ll just create a free account on youtube and pay once for the ticket and be set up all season.
I’ve got Tyreek Hill returning punts and he is amazing lol
Lol..
Don’t think he will touch that..wtf
The permutations crack me up…lil
Lol.

I will be very disappointed if we do not score 40 points per game this year lol
I might be to if we can protect our QB…lol
Kong – I watched a Mets game on YouTube TV Sunday, it was out of sync with the audio, just slightly, and the video was not especially clear, grainy like. I’m wondering if the 4K is better, even when it’s not 4K video.
That sucks. It’d better not happen with the ticket. I’ve watched videos on youtube and I play music, but I’ve never watched any sports. I think they have been showing some NFL games on there though the last few years, if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t like playing with people online. People are dicks.
No way? LOL

GREETINGS FROM TAMPA BAY where, surprisingly, the Lightning are just an afterthought while the Tampa Bay Rays dominate the sports pages!! The 10-0 Rays lead Boston 3-0 in the 5th inning of tonight’s game. 11-0, here we go!!
The Rays have out homered their opponents 26-4 so far this season. And the club’s cumulative ERA is 1.70!!! NO ONE predicted anything like THIS!!!
My rehab from left arm replacement surgery recovery has gone a bit slower than I anticipated. Looks like at least two more months of recovery and rehab. But I am one determined son-of-a-bitch. NO STOPPING ME NOW!! I expect to be fully recovered before my 77th birthday!!

Noticed that Miami’s over/under win total for the coming season remains 9 and 1/2 wins. NO ONE in Las Vegas seems overly impressed with Miami’s off-season so far. And that would include ME!!
The issue of the offensive line remains just that — an ISSUE!! IF Miami adds two solid O-Linemen through the draft, you could see “the number” rise to 10 wins from 9 and 1/2. But that seems unlikely, given this owner’s history with the franchise. Right now, the expectations of a stronger O-Line have gone unfulfilled. The position of Miami quarterback remains both a dangerous and unimproved problem.
As they say in France, “The more things change, the more they stay the same!!
NOW, where are my shoulder pain pills??
Where are those pain pills? Please share…lol. They do nothing for me…lol

We can do it next year too, I don’t see the rush.

Are we in ‘WIN NOW’ mode, as you consistently state? The answer is an obvious YES.
Is it not obvious? You don’t make the moves we have thinking about the future. It’s go time!!!
She says she’s a woman, Budweiser her pants bulging in the front?
Lmao….righteous bulge
TIM: NO, it (Miami’s so-called “improvement,”) is NOT OBVIOUS.
NOT TO ME. NOT to the line-setters in Las Vegas, either!!
—————————-
You’ve heard this before and you’ll hear it again.
SHOW ME!!!!!
Agreed
PS: ADD two more homers to the Rays season total.
They’ve now out homered their opponents 28-4 THIS SEASON!!
They are off to a ridiculous start.
It’s about the moves not the results yet. Of course we all want to see it. That’s the idea.
Oh yeah, speaking of pain pills, what the were you high on the other night, Krishna? When you were seeing swirls. I was guessing shrooms, but maybe it was just some really good weed, lol.

But what are we to do with our draft picks, then?

Not trying to call you out, Bro, but you’ve got me fucked up! LOL
I’m in BPA mode. You improve your roster that way. I wouldn’t target any one position because of need unless it fits the value. Follow your board.
RAYS WIN,RAYS WIN!! They’ve now out homered the opposition 29-4 this season!
They’ve now won their first 11 games of the season. The all-time record for most wins at the start of the season (since 1901) is 13, shared by the ’82 Braves and the ’87 Brewers.
It’s one thing to TALK about a good season coming up (as Dolphin fans well know).
It’s quite another to ACTUALLY DO IT!!
The Rays are off to a SENSATIONAL START!!
Mike – I have the 4k. No issues.
That’s good to know, I’m going to see if I can upgrade the trial to 4K.
Awesome

She should have done this in Cali, Newsome would take good care of her
when was the last time (First time?) you stepped foot in California?
Lived there for 5 years off and on, but that was the 80’s before it got too crazy. Last time I was there was probably 6 or 7 years ago. Got off the train in San Francisco, thought I had made a wrong turn and ended up in Tijuana. We don’t do any business in the state – between the taxes and the crazy it’s not worth it. Ditto for NY.
Lol…I must have been swirling again last night. I woke up this morning and found a post-it note with someone named Rylan on it and a phone number. I sure hope it was a woman….lol. She wrote, “Sorry I missed you!” Hmmmm…lol. Wtf?!
Rock … interesting question.
Put it to the blog in general.
How many of us have spent meaningful time in California?
Not just changing planes in the airport. Let’s say at least a long weekend.
NOT me. I’ve never been there.
Closest I got was Vegas
Rock – Never been to Cali, hope to visit someday. That has nothing to do with Gavin Newsom though.
But then I probably need to get out more.
I’ve only ever been to 17 states and DC.
20 If you count just driving through on the interstate.
Is that normal for Americans?
Probably. I have been to or through all 50.
Wow cool
but not many have done that.
Been to CA multiple times. Spent time in Napa Valley, SF, San Diego (Coronado Island), Santa Barbara, Pebble Beach, La Hoya….
I’ve been to 8 foreign countries … 9 if you count Miami.
25 for me, I think. And all the US territories.
Phelon – You can add NJ to to your crazy, and crazy taxes too for that matter
Yes, I forgot them, but NJ is on the list too
Hmmm…Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada, England, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Yugoslavia, Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, and grew up in Miami (lol)….I think that’s it, for now.
I forgot Montserrat (British West Indies), Jamaica, Bahamas
As a kid I lived in New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, and Cali. Been or visited through probably 20 or 25 states. Never been outside ‘Merica.
I want to move out of Cali in retirement to a place our $ is worth more, but that may depend on where our kids are at. Not sure if the wife will want to move too far away if they are still here.
PhinDog moved a couple of years ago out of So Cal to Kingman AZ, for mostly the same reason
Been to all 50 and all of western Europe, Australia, Central America, So America, some islands in the Caribbean, and there’s no place like home (born and raised in FL)
I’ve never had much interest in leaving the US, but Australia and New Zealand are at the top of the list of places I’d like to visit.
Hmmm…Texas (born and current resident), in between lived in Mississippi, Florida, New York, New Mexico, and Georgia. Visited most but for brevity, I have not been to Alaska, Maine or Rhode Island.
I agree with some of this, based on our struggles last year starting with the SF game, but I think our D will be better, limiting our need to score every possession, allowing more rushing attempts, and causing the Tua stats, mostly passing yards to take a hit
Where the article is wrong is that Tua’s stats won’t dictate w/l, we’ll be a more balanced team
https://phinphanatic.com/2023/04/12/prepared-tua-tagovailoa-regress-upcoming-season/
I mean he “could” regress. I don’t think he will, but it is possible. His reasoning is hogwash though
I’ve spent time in Cali…LA, San Francisco, San Diego.
I’ve lived in 2 states, WV and MO. I’ve been to a total of 27 states, I’m not counting any that I didn’t sleep in, ie passing through or airport connection.
I’ve been to Canada, Mexico, UK, Switzerland, France and Italy.
Not bad for an old girl from the sticks. 😂
I lived in LA for 11 years in 80s and 90s, first visit was ’79, it’s nothing now like it was then
What years were you in CA?
Was supposed to be a reply Herd
Let’s just say the 90’s. Lol
I remember one time, going to a conference with the ex in LA. He left a day before I did, always had to take a guitar because some of his friends also did, would get together and play. This particular year he wanted to take 2, regular acoustic and an acoustic bass. I was given the task of bringing one with me, in a case like a backpack. So here I am, walking through LAX with a guitar on my back, some guy stops me and asks, Are you anybody? I guess he thought in LA, I could be famous? WTF? 😂
Slept in is a good criteria.
I’ve only driven in NJ, never stopped there.
Never been to Texas outside of Houston Airport terminal.
Never been to the Midwest or Northwest.
Hogwash, if you’ve been there, you’ve been there
My son had about 20 states done by 5 years old, he had this map in his room, and his mother put a sticker on each state he’d been too, when I told him my grandparents had been to all 50, naturally he also wanted to
So we devised a plan to get the other 30 or so states, cruises to Alaska and Hawaii, then fly and drive to the rest, doing capitols along the way
His first trip east we didn’t do capitols, so later, after he was out of HS, his mother and I circled back and did some capitols we missed
Lakers last night almost blew their play-in game, with 1.4 seconds left they made a 3, to go up 3
Minn inbounded the ball for a corner 3, a foul was called giving them 3 free throws, sending the game to OT
The foul was retarded, they have this rule, that if you turn your back, and back up to the shooter, before he lands, and not giving him a landing spot its a foul, not exactly what happened last night
First basic of rebounding on the shooter is turn your back on him and box him out
So the NBA, like the NFL make these rules based on 1 guy getting hurt on a freak play
I think teams got good tape on us during the 5 game win streak and adjusted by hitting Hill and Waddle hard at the LOS to disrupt the timing and also to bruise them. They’re small guys and teams took shots at them even when the ball went elsewhere to slow them down.
I would hope the addition of Berrios helps with some of that as he can take it to the house if teams double both Hill and Waddle.
I also hope McDaniel schemes them some space and runs it more to take the pressure off them to win every game for us.
My thoughts as well, run more, and use Berrios when Hill and Waddle are bottled up
Berrios is going to be a tough cover in this O, expect he’ll get over 50 completions
