It appears as if the Dolphins avoided a major disaster, losing LT Terron Armstead for an extended period of time after getting injured in practice, his first snap actually. Armstead left the field barely putting on any weight on the leg that was injured, but he says he’ll be ready for game #1, and there is no major injury requiring surgery. Now that we got that out of the way, there are a few things I want to see in preseason. Most importantly, NO MORE INJURIES!!! I would like to see CB Cam Smith continue to get important reps and show he’s serious about getting plenty of reps in the regular season. Backup QB’s Mike White and Skylar Thompson just have to do better. We know neither of them are going to run this offense as crisply and effectively as Tua, but we need them to be competent enough to put points on the board. I’m really hoping we see better play from both of these guys.
I would really like to see RB Chris Brooks get more carries, and see if we may possibly have something there. He’s not the prototype “big back” like Tennessee’s Derrick Henry, but compared to the stable of RB’s we have here in Miami, Brooks looks huge! I feel like all our RB’s are so close in running style and especially stature, that it would be nice to have a big back like Brooks make the team. Brooks is 6′ 223, while the lot of Mostert (5’10 205), Wilson (6′ 210), Ahmed (5’11 197), Gaskin (5’10 199) and Achane (5’9 188) are all very similar size wise. Yes, we have FB Alec Ingold who’s a load at 6’1 240, but Ingold has only 21 carries in 4 years in the NFL for a reason. Of course, the 4 best guys will make the team, this much I get, but I hope Brooks shows enough to be viewed as a possibilty to make the roster.
I’m curious to see more of LG Lester Cotton. He was great in practice, he had some very dominant reps, so I would love to see that dominance in game play, even if it’s a preseason game. It doesn’t matter what round you were drafted in on the O-line, if you can move people, you’re going to get noticed. Would I love Liam Eichenberg to play like the guy we hoped he could be when we moved up in the 2nd RD of the 2021 NFL at pick #42 to get him, of course, but at this point, I just want someone competent, and hungry for the job. If it’s Lester Cotton, who is actually 3rd string at RG, or Isaiah Wynn who is a veteran as well, I don’t care as long as they play well.
The competition at DT is pretty intense with DT’s Brandon Pili and Jaylen Twyman, Most importantly though, we need to get through the negotiations and sign DT/DE Christian Wilkins to a long term deal and keep him in Miami for another 6 years. He’s been an exemplary player, hard worker who brings it every week. Once Wilkins is signed the next up should be DT/DE Zach Sieler. There are some good battles at LB as well, with guys like Mitchell Agude, Mike Rose, and Aubrey Miller. It’s no given that last year’s 2nd RD pick LB Channing Tindall is a lock to make the roster, how these guys play on special teams could be the key to making the 53. BTW, the pronounced demise of the Mac was a bit premature. It’s slow, and uncooperative at times, and I do need to get a new one, but this article was written on the Mac, so LONG LIVE THE MAC!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Great catch and run craycraft
It’s preseason for the refs too
I WANT 33 TO MAKE THE TEAM
#56 DID YOU SEE THAT SPECIAL TEAMS TACKLE COACH!
Brooks just seems to run “bigger”
He’s Agude tackler
I’m impressed with Brooks.
Undrafted free agent. Looks like he should have been drafted for sure.
WTAF!?
I want a Jaelan Phillips jersey.
The Dolphin’s site only sells women’s jerseys with !5 on them.
I know Sonny is going to give me shit when I finally find one.
Hoping nothing too serious with Achane.🤞
I was happy to see a good productive practice today. Things were running pretty efficiently on both sides of the ball. Even though we lost by a large margin last week we had a really nice mix of run / pass on offense and this week was great. I wish we can duplicate this type of performance all year. (but better with practice)
This “Dress Rehearsal” looked pretty good. Especially after hearing how Hou was handing it to us in practice.
Ahmed had 99 at 8 yards per. Damn
plus 32 yards and a TD receiving
How many can we keep? LOL
Any teams have someone get hurt?
I’ve always liked Ahmed’s running style. Never thought he got enough touches.
Hey now!

Our subs on defense are so good that their subs on offense have no chance.
Ryans has a lot of work to do.
Is the 2nd PS game more like the 3rd PS game used to be? Next week will be guys trying to earn a spot like the 4th game used to be?
I believe this is the case but with McDaniel who knows
Yes, but toned down, in years past starters would play the 1st half and some into the 3rd qtr, depending on how they played
That new guy Bryce Thompson looks really good at DB.
He has played for Fangio before.
Our defense looks well coached.
Anyone watching the Colts game? They just showed this Colts LB playing with hair like Dee Snider from Twisted Sister. He made a tackle and when he went to the ground his hair engulfed his helmet so much you couldn’t see it. lol
#41
Set the PVR on Wednesday for the game as I had a golf tournament today … get home half hour ago and nothing tapped… next broadcast is Thursday 😡
Fangio’s defense is giving up 4.5 points per game.
… without Wilkins playing …
or Phillips …
or Ramsey …
in other words, without our top 3 defensive players
(Fact-Check me on this, please.)
You know what was awesome yesterday? We had 17 play, 15 play, 14 play, 10 play and 9 play drives and ran the ball efficiently.
205 yards rushing!!!
with an array of OL too, so maybe it’s good play design?

haha yeah I know, right?
They pick us 11-6 and a PO team, so that’s not too bad.
168 at 6.5 and 205 at 5.4 says it all
Sure it’s PS and the numbers are inflated, but looking at other years, when we were bad in PS rushing it carried over to the regular season
Fins win, Inter Miami wins the cup, and Suga Sean O’Malley wins the bantamweight championship in under a minute with a huge KO over Aljamain Sterling
What a Saturday it was
My daughter, my first baby, got engaged yesterday evening. 🥲
CONGRATS to you, Herd. At some point, I guess we’ll be calling you “Granny!”
Congratulations to you and your first baby!
IT WAS GREAT to see the ‘Fins win this game, even if it was just a preseason victory.
Winning begets more winning. Winning produces a more positive attitude. It produces more energy and, hopefully, even better results.
HOWEVER, I’m still not sold on the offensive line. We’ve seen lackluster performances from the back-up QB’s. So it’s obvious Miami will only go as far as Tua can take us. If Tua goes down, the ‘Fins are dead!!
SO, Mike E., I agree that finding a spot on the roster for Ingold and another larger back should be strongly considered. Tua needs all the protection he can get.
Congratulations Herd, that’s awesome. All the best to them.
Someone mentioned no injuries other than Achane. I understand promising LG/RG Robert Jones left the game with a right knee injury and went straight to the locker room. Hopefully we get an update on Jones and Achane today.
Yeah hopefully nothing too serious with Jones injury.
I think Jones’s injury was worse than Achane’s
because
it was a knee
and on a big boy, that’s a load of twisting.
… shame too, as that could get him cut from the 53.
Or if it’s bad he could go on IR.
I would think he makes the 53 then IR to open his roster spot.
Maybe it was something minor since he walked off the field and to locker room. Never know with a knee.
Achane suffered a shoulder injury. More details to come later today.
Congrats, Herd!
What Rock said above, but in a different measurement…TOP.
2 of those drives at up half a quarter plus!
We won TOP in both PS games. Actually, we dominated TOP, total yards, first downs, total plays and yards per play.
Nice!
Yeah, it still preseason but it should translate to regular season.
It seems to me that McDaniel is committed to the running game and wants the team to have that mindset.
Congratulations, Herd!
Enjoy your Mother of the Bride Honors!
Only negative stat is we have given up 5 turnovers and have gotten zero.
Also, failed to get any sacks in this last game.
The pressure has been there though. I also see better tackling especially from the secondary.
I guess we can get a little glimpse of the Chargers this evening. Their starters should play 1st quarter.
Congratulations Herd! Wonderful news!
Ryder pumping out the breakdowns!
On that TFL by LB Long, I didn’t realize that the Texans had basically 9 men on the LOS to block and Long came that freely. It’s the first play he breaks down.
It was good to see Skylar have a bounce back game. I’m not sure I trust him yet to be the true backup, but he looked so much better than he did week 1. It’s very hard to see whether it was personnel difference, meaning he played with better guys on our team and the defense was weaker or he just played better. Mike White will have his hands full trying to show he belongs ahead of Skylar. We scored 31 points against the Bills in the playoffs, and Skylar was just awful. Can you imagine if he played well???
I know, right!
Myles Jack retired.
WOW! Didn’t see that one coming. I would have loved to sign him and to have re-signed Brandon Shell… now both retired.
Sometimes non-signings are a good thing.
Robert Jones’ injury is not considered to be serious.
So I FINALLY purchased a Dolphins jersey! First time in a very long time! Anybody want to take a guess as to whose jersey I bought?
Hint: former PSU player
Former Dolphins player too we don’t have a PSU guy.
Did you a deal on an old Gesicki jersey?
John Kulka?
Ahh Derek
YESSIR! Derek Cameron Wake!
Cool!
OJ McDuffie?
Gotta be
I’m certainly not going to put a jersey jinx on any current Phins player! 🙂
My lone jersey for last 50 years is Zach, my last avi was Parker and now Phillips
I hope that someday soon, Cam Wake will be introduced to our respected Ring of Honor.
He was awesome but we just didn’t win much when he was here but I’d put him in the ring
Yeah, man. And figure he didn’t start playing in the NFL until age 27! And he still amassed over 100 sacks in his short career. He was a BEAST!
He was one of the pass rushers in the game when he played.
^ @ Tim
Tim, I know ya meant to say one of the best/greatest pass-rushers in the game when he played. I read into it, clearly! 🙂
Just trying to keep you sharp.😂
Steel sharpens steel, my man!
Yes, that was a compliment to you, Tim.
Steel doesn’t sharpen steel. St\one sharpens steel. Steel nicks and dulls steel. Just sayin’
I know Grier gets some grief here about some of the moves he does or doesn’t make, but we have a very good roster and he has been very good along with his scouting department in finding UDFAs the last few years. Also many of us have discussed that we have so many players who are going to need to get paid soon. That’s only a problem when you have lots of talent.🙂
You had good seats.
Bet that first pick freaked you out some. I saw a lot of Fins in the stands but I didn’t see you, I was looking for you.
Had a blast!
I was the fat guy in the Wake jersey! I don’t know how you missed me?????
You were probably looking at the pretty woman playing wordle next to me!
Guilty
Nice!
I’m having a hard time doing a 53 man positional roster. The numbers game is very difficult.
I’m pretty sure Ramsey starts off on the 8 game IR.

TE Julian Hill is my surprise lock to make the team
Difference this PS running the ball has been the TEs blocking
Yeah he has stood out.
The difference has been TE, RB and WR blocking.

There aren’t many but any of you in the Orlando tv market they’re reairing our game at 7 on 27
Rock – I wouldn’t mind if Chris Brooks makes the cut. He has to earn it though, but I do like that he’s a bigger back and runs with some power
I think we see a lot of him in the last PS game.
I think we should. You never know, but if they like him enough to give him a real opportunity, we’ll find out next game
I think TE Saubert is in danger of getting cut.
Yep
Would save just over a million on the cap with 675 dead money.
His Blocking in PS1 was horrible. Maybe why Jullian Hill got more reps. Don’t really know though.
Smythe, Kroft, ? and Ingold will play those blocking and secondary receiving roles.
Exactly, I think TE3 could be a battle between Hill and Higgins.
Higgins was better blocking in PS1 than I thought he would be.
I think Crossen is on the chopping block for sure. Have not heard his name all off season or PS. Zero dead cap and clears 3 mil off the cap (roughly 2 mil off the top 51).
He is injured I believe
I have a feeling Saubert will stick but Tanner Conner? Has he ever done anything?
I can’t see Conner making the 53.
So Higgins, Hill and Conner you think will be out? I agree on Conner but think PS3 could change who TE3 is on the 53. I won’t be shocked if it is Saubert but he is not playing better than Higgins or Hill right now, IMO.
Lots of guys looking to make the team get this last preseason game to shine.
Our first TD drive vs Texans, it was Kroft and Smythe (who came over in motion) who totally sealed off the edge for the easy Mostert TD.
Our offense uses lots of movement. Even in pass pro we rarely stay static and allow the push to come to us, we attack and move.
Saubert is a veteran, so he should know how to play TE, but he has whiffed and alsogotten rocked back into the RB lane in PS 1.
I thought I saw him throw his helmet on the sideline like he was hurt. But he’s not, so maybe it was frustration.
Robert Jones out for 4-5 weeks, sprained MCL. No surgery, that’s pretty good news!
Yes, but still sucks.
Could have been worse for sure.
Mike White in concussion protocol. Guess he should have taken Jiu Jitsu too!
I think he did along with Skylar.
Wish we knew the status of Achane’s shoulder injury.
Awesome!!! I was hoping for a week to week diagnoses. No damage just discomfort.
Miami Dolphins
INJURIES
QB Mike White is in the concussion protocol and won’t play this week, head coach Mike McDaniel announced.
RB De’Von Achane (shoulder) is considered week-to-week but avoided a severe injury after having defensive lineman fall on him, per head coach Mike McDaniel.
SIGNINGS
QB James Blackman, per McDaniel
I hope it’s just the Skyler Thompson show
But I guess they just signed a QB for late in the last preseason game and for reps
brought him back. Blackman was here all spring / summer.
Yeah I mean we already cut him earlier this offseason. Tua is likely not going to play so we need a backup for the last preseason game.

Jfyi…a sprain is a tear, whereas a strain is a stretch.
Tears are never good…
I don’t wan to argue with someone who probably knows more than me, but my understanding from the medical books I read in my 20’s a sprain is an injury to the ligaments or capsule of a joint while a strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Not interchangeable but it is so far from the field I settled in I won’t argue.
I stand corrected….thank you.
What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A sprain differs from a strain in that a sprain involves an injury to the bands of tissue that connect two bones together, whereas a strain involves an injury to a muscle or the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. Sprains overstretch or tear ligaments, while a strain involves overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons. As tendons are thick fibrous cords of tissue that connect to muscles, these are very common.
So, with that…lol…ligaments take 3x’s the time to heal than muscles…or maybe I’m losing it…lol
My point was that a sprain was geater than a strain…too altered to debate this…lol
Jim Irsay is such an asshole
Barry Jackson is reporting it too
Do we need a RB? No
But it will make us better
A bigger back like Taylor (he’s 226 LBs) might be a better fit with all our speed
It’s RB so hopefully the price tags is low
He’s a 2020 2nd rounder
Is he worth a 2024 3rd or 4th round pick?
He’s also a good fit to split time with mostert and achane
Let’s trade Saubert and both Wilsons for Jonathan Taylor and pay some of Ced’s money.
^^
beer to Pigster
certainly I’d give up a 3rd for Taylor
Both Wilson’s are a good idea
I like Jeff Wilson – but Taylor would be filling that role
Maybe we can get away with that kind of package
I’m not giving up a 1st for a RB
We need to keep adding depth with our 1st rounders
Agreed Piggy. We’ve lost and give up way too many 1st rounders in the last 2-3 years.
I think the Colts are going to want a late first or second for him- they don’t have to trade him. If Taylor comes here, it’s going to be on a new contract for big money, so I don’t think he will be splitting time with any of our current RB’s; he will be the featured back.
Unless they package players as others have mentioned .
Why would they trade for Taylor? If you want a bigger back, keep the kid from BYU. He is bigger and shown he has what it takes. And he’s on UDFA rookie contract.
Agreed.

Absolutely correct. I was going old school with the saying, which dates back to the Bible.
I was going by how many knives I sharpen
I figured. You’d be the one to know out of all of us! 🙂
And that is a compliment to you, sir.
We are not trading for Taylor or any RB.
Agreed, especially for the price rumored by the Colts: a late first or early second.
IMO, the owners helped to devalue RBs by and large. If they think they’re going to get a great return on one now, screw ’em.
Just remember Taylor was banged up last year and still has some ailments. I know because I have him on my FF team and I’m in a protect league. But I have to protect him because of his upside. Not a great situation right now. The Colts aren’t getting a 1st round pick for him.
Miami dolphins win on opening day against the Los Angeles chargers, 41 to 3 and a show of absolute dominance in all three faces of the game. Tua Tagovailoa was nearly perfect with a total of five touchdown throws. Utilizing his surprise, tight end receiving core, who are responsible for three of the five touchdowns. Tyreek Hill also had a receiving touchdown as did Wilson
The Titans were responsible for 300 yards of offense as the Chargers had no answer The running backs, also contributed heavily in the passing game while accruing 214 yards on the ground.
In another surprise, Tyreek Hill returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown
The defense picked off Justin Herbert twice in the end zone to steal points from Los Angeles
I know it’s only bullshit madden, but I put the simulation as close to reality as I could and I played heavy, heavy, heavy, run and heavy, heavy heavy pass to tight ends.

been a fan since I was a kid and the guy that I did Renaissance Fair human chess board with was an amateur blacksmith. I love that show Forged in Fire where they get 4 blacksmiths and make them manufacture a certain weapon from antiquity

we had a 1/2 hour long scripted battle / chess game practiced every Sat afternoon off season to perform 3 times a week for 8 weeks in the spring. It was a cool kookie group of dudes. (nerds that smoked pot, built stuff and were into D&D and medieval times.
I never knew there was an off season for Renaissance Fair human chess board. Or a season for that matter. This place is educational.
And so random.
Love forged in fire. Great show.
Proverbs 27:17 says Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another (roughly). Technically you use a whetstone to sharpen a blade and a honing steel (ceramic is best) or leather strop to straighten out the curl you create with the whetstone.
Proverbs 27:17-27
17 You use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens another.
18 If you care for your orchard, you’ll enjoy its fruit; if you honor your boss, you’ll be honored.
19 Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart.

MF13, and I mean no disrespect, but that is a highly modernized version of that passage from the Bible. What version do you favor?
I’m a King James Version myself, or for authenticity, the most literal translations from the ancient original languages I can find.
C27 in the KJV reads:
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water, face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; as the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest crush a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
No mention of smart phones🤔😉
🤣🤣🤣
Herd,
your observations are always so pithy and droll.
So happy Achane didn’t get seriously hurt. I want see our full plethora of speed to start the regular season.🙂
College football is back this weekend
Just a couple of games but I’ll take it
^^^
How many RB’s do you think we keep? I think Gaskin may get cut. I’d rather see them keep Brooks than Gaskin. I like Gaskin, but he doesn’t really bring anything Mostert, Wilson Jr., Achane and Ahmed already have. If we keep four, I can see Brooks getting stashed on the PS.
I don’t know that Brooks wouldn’t get poached. He has shown a lot. Conventional wisdom says they keep 4 RB at most. Maybe with Jones on IR to start the season, they’ll use that roster spot to keep 5. As much as I like Gaskin, I too would keep brooks over him. Also have to consider Wilson as a candidate for not making the team or IR since he hasn’t played at all so far.
True, maybe they start Wilson Jr. On IR. The only thing with Brooks getting poached is that other team would have to guarantee him a spot on their 53 man roster. Not sure he’s shown enough yet to have someone do that. Would be curious to see how much he plays in this game; maybe they won’t showcase him too much.
In my mind, if Achane is going to be healthy soon, you keep Mostert, Achane, Ahmed and Brooks. I like Jeff Wilson, but he’s never had a 1,000 yard season and never managed to get even 200 carries in a season. Mostert hasn’t either, but Mostert is so much faster than Wilson
I would be fine with that RB room.
And you hope that Brooks and Achane become next year’s thunder and lightning.
Nice to have tough cuts to make at multiple positions
Happy Birthday Mike E!!!
These would not be surprise roster cuts to me like the title says.

Yeah, none of those would be a surprise
I think Wilson starts the season on PUP or IR in case of injury to others. Cutting him would not gain anything but a permanent roster spot. His base pay is all guaranteed this year and would only save 340K of cap. I think he is gone after this season though. We have a 2024 out clause and will clear 3 mil next year with a 782k dead cap.
I think it is a tight race between Gaskin and Brooks on who would fill Wilson’s spot. If it is Brooks, I fear Gaskin will end up on the Pats. lol
Agreed . He’s familiar with the offense. Brooks looks good, but it’s preseason and he’s primarily playing against backups .
Happy Birthday MikeE!
Happy Birthday Mike E!
The other issue with trading for Taylor is its picks and players, plus a monster contract. Our space is well over the cap for next season, and we also have a bunch of important pieces of our own to extend and re-sign next season. Yes, he would make us better, but I don’t know by how much.
I agree
I think both Wilson’s are good as gone after 2023. We have 2024 out clauses on both of them. Cutting both of them after 2023 will clear 10.3 million off the 2024 cap with a dead cap of 1,782,500.
Definitely. Wilson Jr. Is very replaceable, and C Wilson isn’t coming anywhere close to earning the money he’s making.
Mike is OTD today. Happy birthday, Mike!
Happy Birthday Mike E. I hope you have an awesome day. 🎂🎁🐕
I also think Crossen gets cut this year which will clear 3,155,000 this year and 3,245,000 in 2024. Cutting both Wilson’s and Crossen before 2024 season will clear 13,545,000 with only the 1,782,000 dead cap.
I think it will be a done deal. Unfortunately, it will only clear about 1/3 of our cap troubles next year.
Another person that I don’t want to lose is Ogbah. But we have an out clause in 2024 on him also. Designating him a post June 1 release will clear another 15,800,000 and only have a 2 mil dead cap in 24′ and 25′.
Yeah, we can’t keep everyone. If Phillips continues to ascend and Chubb plays to his potential in Fangio’s D, then Ogbah will be a luxury we can’t afford.
