Alright Dolphins fans, relaxed, reserved, nonchalant Mike E. is gone! It’s 2023, and our time is NOW!! This is undeniably the most talented roster we have had here in Miami since the mid 90’s. and our last playoff victory was 23 years ago against the Indianapolis Colts when RB Lamar Smith put the team on his back and ran his heart out for 209 yards on 40 carries and 2 TD’s, one of them in OT for the win, a 17 yard power run carrying defenders in the end zone. It’s time to reclaim that kind of glory. We have drafted, traded for, and signed the type of roster that should take us into the playoffs and beyond. Don’t discount the fact that RB Raheem Mostert is now rippling with 215 lbs of speed and muscle. Don’t discount the fact that we actually gave a pretty big contract to a FB, one Alec Ingold. Also, don’t discount that the Miami TE room is filled with guys who block, and make space for RB’s. Sure, no Dolphins TE jumps off the page as a pass catcher, but all of them block, and block well. I know we have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, one of the most formidable WR duos in the NFL, but this team was built for the long haul, and if you want to be a playoff contender, you have to be able to run the football, and that’s why we have all those blocking TE’s, one expensive FB, a speedy RB (Mostert) that put on 10 pounds of muscle, and a guy who I believe has a bigger impact than some believe, RB Chris Brooks, undrafted from BYU, a big bodied RB at 6’1 223. We wanted Jonathan Taylor because he’s a big back, different than anyone else on our roster, a finisher. That’s what Chris Brooks will be for us in time.
If you’ve realized, I spent an entire dialogue on the offense and now, in the 2nd paragraph, I’m going to finally talk about our defense. This is a defense just ready to climb to the top of the NFL. It would have been wonderful if we had signed DT Christian Wilkins, but both he, and the team remain committed to getting a deal done, and I don’t think for a minute that a person of Wilkin’s character needed a reason to play hard and have a great season, but the fact that he wants a huge contract doesn’t hurt any in incentivizing him to have a great season. We brought in DC Vic Fangio to finally unleash what this defense is capable of. OK, it wasn’t ideal that one of the key guys we traded for is out till most likely November at the earliest, Jalen Ramsey, but we have so much talent on this defense, including the secondary, that Ramsey will end up being a pleasant boost when he’s healthy. CB Xavien seems healthy, and 2nd year rising star Kader Kohou looks like may start opposite Howard, just going by the depth chart on the Dolphins home page. I won’t be surprised, because most of the time when I imagine Eli Apple, I see WR’s running by him and see the back of his jersey. If that’s the case, either rookie Cam Smith could be the nickel, or maybe if he’s not healthy enough, Apple or newly acquired CB Kelvin Joseph will play nickel back. At safety, Brandon Jones returns from injury, and he was having a great season before his injury in Game 7. Jevon Holland is poised to have an All Pro type season at the other safety spot.
Third paragraph in and I still haven’t yet mentioned the defensive line and linebackers, the creme de al creme. Christian Wilkins at LE, Raekwon Davis in the middle and Zach Sieler at the other end spot, who just got a nice contract extension. At LB, definitely our best unit in quite some time, with Jalen Phillips at LOLB, the unheralded LILB Jerome Baker, David Long who came over from Tennesee and will be big player in our defense, and then Bradley Chubb at ROLB. DE/OLB Emmanuel Ogbah will be getting a fair amount of reps both hand in the ground and standing up. We have nice depth at LB with familiar faces Andrew Van Ginkel, Duke Riley, 2nd year LB Channing Tindall and the aforementioned Emmanuel Ogbah who will play both DE/DT and OLB. The area of biggest concern for me is the spot opposite X. Can either Kader Kohou, Cam Smith or Eli Apple, or possibly even Kelvin Joseph hold down that spot and do at least an average job? Big question, and one that will be tested immediately against QB Justin Herbert, who loves to throw the ball down the field. I would imagine we’re not going to leave whoever plays that spot on an island and they will likely get safety help, which then would put a lot of pressure on X in one-on-one coverage. Mike Williams, one of the bigger WR’s in the NFL is a physical player who will give most DB’s a tough assignment, and Herbert has the arm to get him the ball almost anywhere on the field.
Our offense clearly will be a different animal this season. No question Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will get lots of touches, but I do believe we will be a more balanced offense this season. I have yet to mention RB De’Von Achane, who at some point will show the NFL his speed and smooth running style. This will truly be a RB by committee situation, with Mostert at least for now the lead back, but I think plenty of touches for Achane, Ahmed and the rookie Chris Brooks. Don’t be surprised if like in the preseason, Chris Brooks gets lots of carries deep in the red zone. QB Tua Tagovailoa has done all he can in the offseason to help himself stay healthy, and help lead this team an entire season of games. He added weight, learned through martial arts proper falling techniques to keep his head from crashing to the ground and as we saw in the preseason, he employed those techniques, and most importantly, they worked.
I think all of us here at FMU have looked at our defense and expected better. I think Vic Fangio looked at this opportunity through the same lens we do, this a defense just waiting to flourish with proper guidance. Fangio is exactly 5 years my senior, born August 22nd 1958. He’s been a defensive coordinator since 1995, no need to count, that’s 23 years (Fangio took a break from the NFL from 2006-2010). It’s hard for me not to believe that Fangio is the missing piece. Flores had some strong points on defense, learning from Bill Belichick in NE. Then Flores’ dismissal led the Dolphins to hand over the reins to Josh Boyer, who in my opinion, was too one dimensional and far too reliant on the zero blitz coverage scheme. I would expect less sacks from the safeties and more from the LB’s and DL. I think David Long is going to be great in this defense, both as a run stopper and helping in pass coverage. It’s not crazy to think we could have a top 10 offense and defense simultaneously.
We have a tough opening game, no doubt. The Chargers were the 2nd team last season to stymie both Tua Tagovailoa and our offense. It was the second leg of a dreadful west coast trip that began with a loss to the Brock Purdy led SF 49ers. Tua was sacked 3 times, and threw 2 INT’s against the vaunted SF defense. The offense was totally one dimensional, we ran 8 times against the Niners. Against the Chargers, it was no better. The Chargers hit Tua, but mostly took away his passing lanes which led to an awful 10 of 28 performance for only 145 yards. We made a slightly better attempt to run, but still had less than 20 carries (19). Despite having one of the best RB’s in the NFL in Austin Ekeler, Herbert was throwing everywhere, attempting 51 passes in all and completing most of them, 39 completions for 367 yards. We’re going to need to do a whole lot better on both sides of the ball to win this one. I expect more running from us, and hopefully that will open up the passing game for a few shots here and there. This would be a huge opening day win, and a big shot fired in the AFC towards the playoff race. I don’t have him in FF, but if I had Chris Brooks, I’d be inclined to insert him in the lineup because I think the kid may get a couple of TD’s in this one. In any case, we must have a better showing than we did on December 11th, 2022 against the Chargers last season.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
First!
Lol…well I read the article first
Good article Mike!
Nice, Mike E. and thanks again!
Glad the, “Alright Dolphins fans, relaxed, reserved, nonchalant Mike E. is gone! ”
LOL
I know we have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, one of the most formidable WR duos in the NFL –
Who also block well I feel motivated to point out!
Nice write, Mike E! I dig it!
Mike in your third paragraph you say you haven’t even mentioned the guy you mentioned in paragraph two…Just had to point that out to bust you balls a little.
Actually, I said I haven’t mentioned the Dline and LB’s, I didn’t say I didn’t mention Wilkins. Read it again. 🙂
Wilkins is D line, so you did mention the Dline when you mentioned Wilkins.. 😛
Great writing, Mike E.
After watching him lose a game for his team, I’m glad we don’t have Chris Jones. Chris Wilkins is a much better team player.
I hope and trust we’ll get him a deal and keep him in Miami,
but he’ll play for us this Sunday unlike Jones,
who merely scowled from the stands
while his team lost.
I think he collected a paycheck for nothing, right?
Go Dolphins!
No he was fined
over a million bucks
BTW
did not know that BTS
translates to
Bulletproof Boy Scouts.
Huh? Where did this come from?
My editor is a little overzealous. I guess it’s week one and all. lol
FIRE UP! 😉
Just read on twitter, for what that’s worth, that they played the Black national Anthem before the Chiefs game. If true, why do they do that? Aren’t all Americans part of the National Anthem? Is there an Asian National Anthem, a Samoan National Anthem, an Irish National Anthem, etc . . . ? I think it’s crazy, and divisive
^
100% divisive
Does everyone else walk off the field during the Black National Anthem? Do black players walk off during the regular National Anthem?
Anyone kneel?
Thanks Mike E.
Go Dolphins! 🐬❤️🏈💥
Way to go Mike!
Here’s a new one from the boys, listen to my nephew put down a bass line

Superstition ain’t the way…
Excellent selection.
Anxiety officially up
Not surprised. It wasn’t looking good. Especially for Campbell.
That leaves Kion Smith as our only backup tackle. Then there is Robert Hunt.
and Wynn, I guess.
Nice write, Mike. We have plenty of reasons to be optimistic this season.🙂
Look above and take a listen to the new song
I really dug that tune.👍
The guitar solos the kid is 17, his father is the bad ass drummer my nephew on bass. The singer Rob also plays guitar he’s good too.
Awesome!
The black national anthem is the opposite of what everyone is supposedly striving for.😥
They have Joey Bosa back this year. He was out against us last year. Mack AND Bosa against our Oline….
I am worried
It’s a good thing we have those “6th Olineman” type TE’s this year.
^ With Jackson and our backup LT and, I guess, Eich starting at LG….
We have to establish the running game.
Propaganja has a smash hit on their hands, just released today
Agreed and that’s an awesome band name.
You liking it means a lot I’d like to see what the Dog thinks too
I appreciate that and I’m being totally honest, not just being polite. They’re really good and that’s a well composed song. Such a great vibe and the message is spot on.🙂
I can see us rotating Wynn and Eichenberg at LG. We need Lamm to step up at LT.
Isn’t Kendall Lamm starting in place of Armstead?
beer to TK
One of our blocking TEs is also hurt.

Stupid guy:
While contractual law might not be the most exciting subject around, NFL players are subject to both the terms of their specific deals and the larger collective bargaining agreement. The latter is what dictated Jones’ training camp fines.
As laid out by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, Article 42, Section 1(b)(vi) of the CBA says that any player who misses training camp faces a mandatory $50,000 fine for each day they’re AWOL.
So while Jones paid those fines, they no longer apply. Florio noted that the penalties extend from the first reporting date through the last Sunday before the regular season begins. That’s six weeks, and $50,000 per day across that span works out to $2.1 million.
Also
He walked away from a $500,000 workout bonus. And each game check is worth $1.083 million—so he’ll lose one of those with each week he stays away.
I hope he sits on fucking year
These guys have been around awhile and released a new album not long ago.
We could poach him back, but we’d have to put him on the 53.
If Hill is out they’ll likely bring up Tanner
That’ll work.
Some new Rolling Stones
Is there such a thing?
Dolphins Opponent Breakdown: Los Angeles Chargers
Getting some answers about the Miami Dolphins’ Week 1 opponent
ALAIN POUPART17 HOURS AGO
The Miami Dolphins will look to kick off their season in style they face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The Chargers, like the Dolphins, are coming off a playoff season and hoping to take the next step and go deeper after suffering a first-round loss.
To get some answers on five major questions related to the Chargers, we turned to Editor Ricardo Sandoval of SI Fan Nation sister site Charger Report.
1. How much of a measuring stick are the Chargers seeing this matchup against the Dolphins being?
RS: Somewhat of a big stick. Yes, these two teams could meet in January, but at the same time, this is the first game of the season. Both teams will want to show what they have and prove they belong in the top tier of the AFC and in the entire league. The Chargers are out to prove that the 27-point blown lead in the wild-card game was an anomaly, and it will all start on Sunday.
2. How much of a talking point in Chargers land is Justin Herbert’s career and production to that of Tua Tagovailoa considering they were drafted one after the other in 2020?
RS: The two are forever linked because they were drafted in the same class and are only a pick apart. Many Chargers fans hoped Tua would slip to them at 6 back in 2020, but now I’m sure they are happy with the Dolphins taking Tua and L.A. landing on Herbert. I’m not going to lie; Bolts fans talk their talk for Herbert whenever the two are compared to each other, so I guess you can say the chatter surrounding that is very much alive. It will only get louder as they progress in their careers and tug and pull for supremacy in the AFC.
3. How much of a difference could Kellen Moore end up making as offensive coordinator?
RS: The addition of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has been the talk of the town and remains that way heading into the season. The Chargers needed a change of scenery on that side of the ball, and they wasted no time snagging up Moore just a day after he parted ways with the Dallas Cowboys. Moore is coming into L.A. after he led his previous team to the No. 2 total offense in the NFL and scoring in the last four seasons. The simple answer is a lot different, with many points and explosive plays from time to time.
4. What should give the Chargers defense confidence it can shut down the Miami offense the way it did in the December game last season?
RS: The Chargers put the clamps on the Dolphins, allowing only two touchdowns and holding Tua to 10-for-28 with 145 passing yards. That was without their star defenders in, cornerback J.C. Jackson and defensive end Joey Bosa. If they looked good without them, they should look better with them, right? Bosa requires so much attention that it allows others to go to work. Jackson will try to show he is still the premier corner in the game and will be out for blood. L.A. should feel confident on that side of the ball and try to make Tua beat them (no offense).
5. What is the one matchup (offense or defense) you feel the Dolphins really could exploit in this game?
RS: I just said L.A. should make Tua beat them, so I’m going with the L.A. secondary. Even with Jackson returning, we don’t know how healthy he will be. Outside of Jackson and star safety Derwin James, the secondary is suspect. The Bolts have a ton of question marks in those position groups, and with guys like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle coming into L.A. again, it will be a prove-it game. They remain young, and many will get some significant run in 2023 compared to last season. If L.A. has anything to worry about, it’s their secondary as a whole.

Hey Son,
Your nephews band is really good and I love the name. They have great timing together and your nephew rips the bass 🎸🎼🎼👍
Thanks bro, glad you liked it.
They play at Cocoa Beach tonight but I can’t go, having granddaughters bday party.
Driving that way on Tuesday to move half the family over to Sebastian
Coconuts on the Beach?
Apple keeps 33, Brooks takes 35
Skylar switched to 6
I like those changes, 33 is more of a finest number, 35 is more power
But 6 I still see Pat White
Skylar is a big Pat White
Cameron Goode activated for tomorrow’s game.
Good for him.
It sounds like he made a good impression on STs and will provide Edge depth.
Steve, a place called Area 142
Oh, just across the highway from Coconuts.
There’s a few bars in that general vicinity
So who’s excited for Sunday opening day tomorrow? I know I am. Nachos and wings on the menu.🙂
Save some of those nachos and wings for me… I’m working til 6:00, SMH. At least I get to see the 4th quarter, though. 🙂
Hopefully you join the game and we’re up in a nice way.🙂
I can only hope! 🙂
I’m excited! Nothing on the menu as far as food, usually I can’t eat during a game. Drinking is another matter. Can’t decide what I’m having. It might depend how the game goes. 🤣
May we all assume that you’ll be doing laundry to help us win?! 🙂
I’m going to reintroduce something I did years ago… my BEWARE posts. This time, one for the Offense and one for the Defense. Sure, sometimes it’s going to be a no-brainer… but other times it’s going to be a matchup that I do NOT like.
BEWARE on Offense: RB Austin Ekeler. 107 receptions last season as a RB? That’s right. While all eyes will be on containing WRs Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, somebody is going to have to account for the slippery Ekeler in coverage. Whether it be dump-offs or delays, Ekeler MUST be accounted for.
BEWARE on Defense: ROLB Joey Bosa. Tua will be keeping his eyes open for Derwin James Jr and Asante Samuel Jr, but Bosa will be coming hard at our LT… and T-Stead is out.
Khalil Mack too. The AFC is going to be a battle for sure. Just hoping we’re left standing.
I feel Mack has lost a step, but you’re right… Austin Jackson had better eat his Wheaties.
Testing…
https://stathead.com/tiny/aMHhO
Damn… it didn’t work. Gotta be a subscriber, and I’m really trying to cut down on subscriptions.
At any rate, Austin Ekeler has to be on a very short list of RBs who’ve gone over 100 receptions in a single season.
According to this site, Ekeler is 1 of only 5 RBs to have ever achieved 100 or more receptions in a single season…
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/running-backs-who-have-100-receptions-in-a-single-season#:~:text=running%20backs%20who%20have%20100%20or%20more%20receptions,100%20110%20101%20100%20102%20107%20116%20107
And tied for second most in NFL history.
Just for comparison…
Roger Craig had 92 receptions in ’85
Marshall Faulk had 87 receptions in ’99
Woohooo. The Herd beats East Carolina in Greenville, NC. I didn’t realize until they said on the broadcast, the first win we’ve had there. Big win for the Herd faithful. East Carolina was the opponent in 1970 when the team was lost returning from the game.
Go Herd! 💚
Ekler might be facing his downside as well but he’s a great football player and until I see the drop off he’s a guy we have to at least slow down.
We must sack Herbert . This will get them behind the chains.
We also must keep him from getting any meaningful rushing yards.
Agreed, and that’s where Vic Fangio comes in! 🙂
Jaelan Phillips just might have himself a day against Trey Pipkins!
Last season, Trey Pipkins ranked as the #64 Tackle in the NFL, per PFF.
Perhaps I should additionally do a AWARE posts, to offset my BEWARE posts.
Nah, won’t/can’t do it. I’m not trying to clue the enemy into what they need to be prepared for.
Perhaps Goode is the Herbert spy or at least backup to Tindall the main spy.
There’s no need to spy Herbert.
BBMike,
My guy TE Ja’Tavion Sanders is making $$$ today against that Alabama Defense!
Texas is about to upset Alabama! NICE!
Nights like these are when I miss Rich (RGS) the most. RGS, where are you, man?!!
It’s over! Texas upsets Nick Satan and Alabama!!!
That snaps a 21-game winning streak by Satan/Alabama at home!
If you watched the way they spotted the ball it would be easy to see how Bama won all of those games
Seems the last couple of years Bama, OSU and Clemson have taken a step back, Georgia seems to have this year, while FSU, USC, Michigan and Texas have moved up
It’s been a while since it’s been this wide open
Few years ago it was anyone, but Bama and in the NFL anyone but the cheats
Holy fuck! Are you guys as pumped about the game tomorrow as I am? I’m really excited to see what we look like
Right there with you, man.🙂
Today. Look at the time of your post. 😂
What do you think we’ve been doing here the past 7 months🤔
😜🤪
Go Phins!!!🙂

BBMike,

————-
Slammed today and didn’t get to watch it.
I think if our defense plays well we win tomorrow. We have the offense to take advantage of turnovers or good field position. We are on the road out West against a team considered to be in the mix in the AFC.
It’s not the end all, but it’s a big game.
I agree. If we hold them to 24 or less we win. I think another big factor is we also have their former DC on our staff.
Renaldo Hill. Yeah he knows a lot of tendencies on the Chargers offense from coaching against them the last two years as their DC.🙂
What does Fangio have planned for Herbert and their offense? That’s what I’m excited about. We really don’t know.😎
And so …….. the ’23/24 season is finally upon us. I never drink during games and we’ve done all the laundry in the house so I’m going to be doing some ironing to see if that inspires us.
Fins up
GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s Go Dolphins!
(piggy flies around the blog farting uncontrollably)
Go Dolphins
3 Keys
Phillips haunts Herbert while DL blunts Ekeler running.
We get at least one INT and give up no long bombs.
Berrios breaks defense’s heart by converting several medium-long 3rd downs.
Sneaky key
Chris Brooks is the real thing and blasts in for 2 red zone rushing TDs.
OK that’s 6 keys.
whatever
Go Dolphins!!!!
ITS GAME DAY BITCHES!!!
Go Dolphins!
Go Marshall!
also
Texas is my newly unhated team.
LOL, we have thousands of Alabama fans here on the panhandle all waking up with a hangover today.
I’ve never understood why Alabama football has always been so successful.
I grew up with Bear Bryant’s dominance and now the Satanic dynasty.
May have to check out some of the Texas OL and see who is draft eligible. They were stout vs Alabama yesterday. Allowed no sacks the whole game, only 1 QB pressure the entire 1st half and only 2 TFL.
Go dolphins
I’d settle for that.
and BBM
as you know,
Pensacola is my mom’s home town,
and I still have some of my closest living relatives there.
They are huge Alabama fans.
Plus my mother’s father is from Alabama,
and I have close relatives in Mobile, too.
Just saying that I am only a Nick Saban hater, not really a Tuscaloosa hater.
Got ya! I am neither a fan or a hater of either Alabama or Auburn but it is entertaining enough just to go to a sports bar to watch the fans there when the two meet up.
The 2024 draft is shaping up with some nice QB prospects. Could be a good number of 1st rounders pushing other players down to us.
Caleb Williams, USC
Drake Maye, UNC
Quinn Ewers, Texas
JJ McCarthy, Michigan
Jordan Travis, FSU
Sam Hartman, ND
Michael Penix, Jr., Washington
Jayden Daniels, LSU
Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
That’s just off the top of my head.
It looks really good early
But it’s early
During the course of the year, some of these guys are exposed
It’s only September – I’m focusing on OL and RBs for a little while
Florida is weirdly shaped.
Pensacola is only 13 miles from Alabama,
and it is also so far west, it is in the Central Time Zone.
The majority of people in Pensacola are thus NO Saints fans.
Pensacola is only slightly farther from New Orleans
than Naples is from Tampa.
If we see lots of false starts today blame it on the Chiefs RT
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/gene-steratore-believes-chiefs-jawaan-taylor-was-egregiously-off-vs-lions-calls-opener-a-wakeup-call/
So it looks like my options for the early game or Tampa at Minnesota or San Francisco at Pittsburgh. I think I’ll watch San Fran.
Most important question of the day:
Is the laundry ready??
I yearn for the day, hopefully not too far off in the future where I do not have Gameday anxiety, but rather game day confidence. Sigh.
Go dolphins!
Lol
Now that I have YouTubeTV – I’m gonna be able to join the laundry 🧺 tradition
I did one load of laundry yesterday in preparation of today. I washed all my Dolphins gear, added a drop of sage essential oil. Hung them up and then burned some sage all around them. Starting the season with no bad mojo.
Let’s go DOLPHINS! ❤️🐬🏈
BAM! TAKE THAT BAD MOJO! LOL
No need to unleash all the weapons week 1
Today I’d like to see Berrios establish himself as a true 3rd down machine, strong running game, and the D we’ve all been waiting for (top 5)
It’s only September – I’m focusing on OL and RBs for a little while
————
Same here really but mainly OL for me. The top 5 QB’s are pretty solid. I agree, guys like Hartman, Penix and Sanders will get exposed.
Daniel already got exposed vs FSU. Sanders somewhat exposed, got sacked 7-8 times yesterday. Sanders has good accuracy but holds on to the ball to long and has a weird hitch to his throwing motion (IMO) and no quick release.
Just keeping an eye out though. If a guy like JJ McCarthy is there in the second I might pull the trigger. He would be an immediate upgrade over Skylar.
Pensacola is only 13 miles from Alabama
————-
My house in west Pensacola is only 6 miles from Alabama.
wow … urban sprawl
I have relatives in Atmore.
No Achane? Brooks will be active then. Can’t see us going into the game with only 2.
Lamm & Jackson
Vs
Mack & Bosa
Pray for Tua Today
RUN THE BALL
RUN IT AGAIN
RUN IT AGAIN
BOOM TD ON PA PASS
Repeat
We need to run the ball today
Flying back from Notre Dame game in North Carolina, but got in flight wi-fi and You Tube TV up and running … I’ll get 1st half on board, might miss half of 3rd qtr to drive home from airport but will see the rest at home!!
SD has a tough D but today we will see Tua et al surgically take advantage of any/all weaknesses that get exposed. I am really interested in how the Defense plays since most of the injuries are in that unit.
BBM, headed back to NC in a few weeks for ND/Duke game (got good friends who are ND fanatics who moved to Raleigh so no hotels or transport needed LOL).
SD lol, their DBs overall are the weakness of the D, key is to run to bring the LBs up, if we can do that we’ll kill them
Better yet I call them the Clippers (LAC)
Does the Miami Offense Have a Counter Move?
The big story of the 2022 matchup at SoFi Stadium between these teams was how the Chargers defense found a way to stymie the Dolphins’ passing game by jamming wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at the line of scrimmage
The ineptitude of WRs 3-6 was likely why we didn’t resign Sherfield, he made plays here and there, but when Waddle and Hill were bottles up he didn’t get it done
Does anyone here who had DirecTV Sunday Ticket who used their FF tracker where you were able to plug in your entire FF roster and get live fantasy updates during the game see it on the YouTubeTV Ticket? I don’t see YouTube TV offering that, which is disappointing
Just bring up your FF App or website on your phone😁
LOL Steve, I’m already doing that. It was just nice to get the updates automatically while watching the game
good stop by Elandon Roberts
I think Arizona is clearly a strong contender for the Caleb Williams sweepstakes
I’m in Cardinals territory now up in the mountains, haven’t seen anything around here or in Phoenix this week with any kind of enthusiasm
They just gave up a 91 yard drive. 67 of it on penalties
Lol
Watched Caleb’s first half last night 49-3, he looks like Mahomes
Best player in college. Best QB prospect since Lawrence who was the best prospect since Luck
Then Roberts jumps early blocking for the punt.
Small hands Burrow with a bad pass out of bounds in a downpour
Watson looks meh
Burrow looks bad in general
Pittsburgh looks like poo 💩
Brandon Aiyuk is clutch
Purdy was down two hands to no hands
Ugly sweater day in LA
Ouch!
That Jake Moody guy looks familiar…
Naples – you’re gonna love watching David Long here. Don’t sweat Elandon Roberts
I’ll match your sweater, and raise you this
9rs taking it to the Steelers
BTW, Brock Purdy looks fucking great!
Watson just got crunched, he’s going to need a message
Derick looking like his brother in NO
Who is Derick?
well maybe Derek (Carr)
