This 2024 NFL Season was supposed to be a Super Bowl run for our Miami Dolphins, at least that was the hype. Here at FMU, we looked at weaknesses on this team, more specifically, the trenches. We were very skeptical of the offensive line, and why shouldn’t we have been? We didn’t upgrade, we lost 2 of our best linemen in OC Connor Williams and RG Robert Hunt. Our starting LG is last year’s backup who wasn’t even on the roster to start to the 2023 season. Our starting OC, Aaron Brewer was jettisoned by the Titans, and although our previous OC Connor Williams had some snapping issues, his pass and run blocking were both excellent. Our starting RG was last year’s backup OC, Liam Eichenberg. RT Austin Jackson is basically a constant. Our starting LT, now fighting off a shoulder injury has been playing for 13 years in the NFL and has never completed a full season. Don’t expect 2024 to be the first. He’s already come out of the game with injuries, and although he’s our best, he’s also fragile. While we’re speaking of fragile, did I mention our starting QB has another concussion?
If you hate to read it, scroll on by, because I’m going to remind all of you how very much I was against the Miami Dolphins handing our QB Tua Tagovailoa a huge contract. Mostly, the reason was his injury history, but a fair percentage of that was his inability to show up in big games. Well, both were on display last week in our first matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Tua did his best to prove me right on both counts, completing 25 passes for 239 yards, 1 TD and 3 INT’s. WR Grant Dubose should have got his head around, WR Robbie Chosen ran the wrong route. Please STOP! We have WR’s Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, TE Jonnu Smith, RB’s De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, the ball didn’t have to go to either of those guys, #1 makes that decision, he throws the ball. I don’t need to tell you that relying on 2 guys who have been here no more than 2 weeks is absurd. So now we’re left with our backup QB Skylar Thompson for a minimum of 4 games as QB Tua Tagovailoa goes on IR.
There’s starting to be a little more scrutiny of Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel. Sure, he’s a likable guy, he’s funny, amusing, and supposedly an offensive genius. The problem is, when teams have figured out what type of defense to play against our offense to shut it down, Mike McDaniel has yet to find the solution to keep scoring like we scored on all the other teams. The tape is out there, teams know to have 2 safeties high and take away the long ball, keep everything in front of them, and as long as it’s executed well enough, they take both WR’s Tyreek Hll and Jaylen Waddle out of their game. I honestly have no idea if Skylar Thompson will be running the same offense Tua Tagovailoa was running, but I don’t think Skylar can have the same timing and anticipation that Tua had. We’ll see how much the offense is more tailored to Skylar, and I guess we’ll get somewhat of an idea if our season is lost or not.
I mentioned the trenches earlier, and now I’m going to touch on the defensive side. The defense was a strength for this team, at least until the injuries started coming and never stopped. The defensive line of Zach Sieler, Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins was a strength. Sieler is still there, but now he’s next to NT Benito Jones, and then next to him is DE Calais Campbell. Campbell is still a great player, but at 38, he can’t be expected to play high snap counts anymore, but the rotation was supposed to be the hallmark of the D-line. Tsunamis, waves of players, but that turned out to be false advertising, as we only have 6 DL, Sieler, Jones and Campbell, Emmanuel Ogbah, Brandon Pili and Da’Shawn Hand. That’s no tsunami. Now sometimes we’ll play a 4 man front, and we’ll employ speed packages with OLB’s Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson, Quinton Bell and probably Mo Kamara at some point, but in 2 games, I don’t think NFL teams are fearing our defensive line. Buffalo RB James Cook averaged 7 yards per carry (11-78) and managed 3 TD’s, 2 rushing, 1 receiving.
The Seattle Seahawks are 2-0, and they are always a tough get at home. We’ll be facing 2 former Dolphins players on Sunday, OC Connor Williams, and the always under appreciated ILB Jerome Baker (#55). There will be no hype from me about what I expect from this team right now. I have no idea and little expectation of what QB Skylar Thompson can do with this offense. We picked up QB Tyler Huntley from the Baltimore Ravens PS, and even though Sonny loves him, I’m not any more optimistic about Huntley leading us to victories in Tua’s absence. Our mighty WR corps is anything but, once you get past Hill and Waddle. Grant Dubose, Malik Washington (who is banged up) and Braxton Berrios, who has yet to record a reception. I hope our defense with all its tsunamis carries the day, because that offense could be downright ugly!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
I guess I am first, woo hoo…
I’m still down on last week.
With the Jets victory, all of our own picks went up 1 spot.
Just to keep Tim updated we have 14, 45, 98(comp), 111, 133(comp), 141(Denver), 154, 227( Chicago), 229, 250(comp)
Keep that info coming Mike, soon it will be all we have to look forward to!
Mike,
You are crazy! This offense can’t be ugly!! We have a genius HC, the #1 paid WR in the NFL, the #11 paid WR, and the fastest team in the NFL by every media prognosticator’s own words. OL is not a problem and even our amazing GM said only fans worry about stupid things like OL. Don’t look at the numbers! Don’t see the 28 ranking because it’s all a lie! This offense is set to wow the world! Just wait for everyone to be completely healthy!!!!
This is exactly what our media and leadership in this country do as well, outside of sports. Don’t believe your lying eyes! The economy is amazing!! Dolphins 2024 Superbowl incoming!
^
I agree MikeE.
New Age – Oh man, hype, hype hype! Our country is in good hands with the future President elect Kamala Harris. Yeah, and Tua can stay healthy, MM is an offensive genius, etc etc etc
Lol….thank you, Mike E. At least the sky is not falling…lol.
It fell, I think it’s on my foot! lol
The key to this game will be running the ball. Seahawks are #2 vs the pass. Granted that was vs Bo Nix/Broncos and Jacoby Brissett/Patriots. They do have a good young secondary though. The Seahawks run defense is #22. The Pats ran for 185 vs the Seahawks last week in their overtime loss to them.
On the other side, our pass defense is #5 and run defense is #15. If Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker is a no go, they have no run game and will be one dimensional. Their #2 RB Zach Charbonnet had to start last week and only managed 38 yards on 14 carries. On the season he has 22 carries for 50 yards. He is a receiving threat though.
Geno had to throw 44 times vs the Pats but he completed 33 for 327. DJ Metcalf caught 10 for 129, 1 TD and Smith-Njigba caught 12 for 117. Our defense will need to shut these WR’s down and get after the QB. Get some turnovers!
Back to the offense. RUN THE DAMN BALL! Make it easier on Skylar. No turnovers!
Three out of four starting LB’s for the Seahawks will either be out or playing injured. RUN THE DAMN BALL.
Although, our LT and both starting OG’s will be playing with injured shoulders so…
#RUNTHEDAMNBALL @RUNTHEDAMNBALL
BBM…what do you think our strategy should be? LOL!
LOL
Actually, with MM, he is going to try and outsmart them and do the opposite of what we should do. It won’t work and then he won’t have an in game adjustment.
I have a conundrum…lol.
Do I go to HH at 4 to one of may favorite restaurant bars on Sunday or skip to watch the Dolphins’ game at a pool hall/sports bar? Decisions…lol.
I could always go to the Dolphins’ game which is on at 3 CST and if the game is shit, head on over to HH when it opens at 4.
If we even remotely look like we’re in the game, then what?! Lol!
Field Yates
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III missed practice for a second straight day. Looking like another Zach Charbonnet start could be on the way.
Yeah, we should find out today.
Thanks for the write up Mike E!
I can’t harp on the ineptness of this team’s builders, leaders, and supposedly superstars anymore.
I will be back to trying to enjoy our loveable losers once again. Owning our suckitude and quit expecting these highly paid geniuses know what they are doing and we will see relevance any time soon until we once again have to blow it all up.
@AdamHBeasley
The Dolphins have lost 10 of their last 14 road games
Ahh, that’s overrated. They can’t beat the Bills at home either, but Yeah, I get your point. Everything here is predicated on us securing a playoff home game. Well, that pretty much went out the window, didn’t it?
This may be fucked up, but when I think of Tua and the Miami Dolphins, all I can really focus on is how we get out of destroying our cap space for the future. I don’t know how it’s going to go down, but I can’t even waste time on imagining him playing again when just about every one of us realizes his next hit is his next concussion. It’s such a downer! Now we have to draft a QB, and of course, we all also know how fucked we are in that department. Can we finally get lucky???
I know
Adam Schefter
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said he’s “pessimistic” that RB Raheem Mostert will play Sunday at Seattle.
I want to see a healthy dose of Jaylen Wright. This is the NFL where you can pick up a RB off waivers who doesn’t know your offense and he can give you 100 yards on 25 carries, unless of course it’s the Miami Dolphins, where you can only give the rookie who’s been through training camp and preseason 5 carries max. DOH!!!
I know, ‘wright’?!
LOL – Yeah. Wright! 😁
#RUNTHEDAMNBALL
And, don’t get cute…jfc!
Barry Jackson
Tua will travel with the team to Seattle, per McDaniel. He has been very engaged in meetings this week. Also has observed practice stuff.
Not trying to be overly annoying, but does this mean anything to you?
It means he progressed past the initial stage of the concussion protocol
Actually, if you’re in concussion protocol, flying across the country is not recommended, imo.
Disorientation, jet lag, dehydration…
I thought it was retarded too, but that’s what MM does at times, like he’s got too much Christian Wilkins (immaturity) in him
It is not just recommended it is prohibited. This means he has progressed some of the stages of the protocol
Protocol shmotocol….he’s a concussed mother fucker and his brain needs to heal. It hasn’t healed from the past concussions…lol
Only thing that stuck in my head from this is when Ryder said the OL will look worse with Skyler and Huntley because they hang on to the ball longer than Tua. Run the damn ball!
Should be a decent college game on tonight on FOX, 7PM.
#24 Illinois 3-0 at #22 Nebraska 3-0
Nebraska’s freshman QB has been playing very well. Granted, the toughest team they have played was Colorado.
haven’t seen Nebraska yet, will be interesting
college football was so much better back in the 70s, when both Nebraska and OK were great teams
That QB looks really good
Mike E you are a little late!
You’ve been annoying for years now!!!!!! 🙂
It’s only recently “overly” came into existence
It actually means nothing to me personally. Just forwarding information someone may find interesting
LOL – good to know!
Games to watch tomorrow:
11am ABC NC State at #21 Clemson
2:30pm CBS #11 USC at #18 Michigan (USC QB Miller Moss)
2:30pm ABC UCLA at #16 LSU (LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier)

But MM must be a genius, cause THEY say so .. THEY also told us Taco Chaser Gase was a QB Whisperer, sooooo there’s that
Barry Jackson
This is encouraging: Tua, Mostert and Jonnu and families went to Disney event the night after Buffalo game concussion and he showed no visible signs of having been concussed, per Mostert.
PhinsPhocus
Dolphins got bullied into putting Tua onto IR. If he is healthy enough to go to Disney the night after and can fly across the country and back then there is no since in him missing 4 games imo.
————————————————————-
I agree! I think it’s more politically correct BS!
Few know that before TM became a successful rapper, he was in a band called GFBF with his girlfriend Nova Rockefeller. Since TM blew up she took a back seat and did all TM videos and did a few features in them. Now they decided to bring GFBF back and this is their first video. NOT political. Kind of catchy.
2 years ago I went to training camp practice with my cousin, he said, Skylar should be starting over Tua, after hitting deep pass after deep pass (mostly frozen ropes)
Where is that Skylar, the one with great pocket presence and a big accurate arm?
Honestly, I have no recollection of Skylar Thompson ever throwing an accurate deep ball. Most of my memories are fluttering wobblers that are off target. I do remember the Fest game against Minny when Tua was OUT, he had one nice drive, although a we had about 8 penalties and didn’t score, but he may have thrown for 100 yards on that drive, only they didn’t count. I often hear he has a “big arm”, but I haven’t seen it happen
I remember him looking great that preseason as well.
Training camp and preseason don’t mean shit. Until you can do it in the regular season, it doesn’t matter
Ok, time to retool, rethink things and kick some ass. This may be good for our offense. It has become too predictable. Shake things up. Use your TEs. Use an extra OL and pound on some people. Set up some big running plays off the tendencies you’ve shown in the passing game. Move your QB around and throw from different spots…do some misdirection. Football isn’t rocket science. It still comes down to talent, but if you don’t have the talent at QB, you kinda gotta win different ways. If/when Tua comes back, it will actually help our offense because it will develop and show teams other things.
What you’re saying is adjust, which we don’t seem to ever do. Or maybe that’s not what you’re saying. 😂
They should use the same type of game plan the Packers used when Love was out last week.
Adapt and overcome.
Purpose, method, endstate.

Sorry, I can’t let this go…lol
Tua is flying 2,600 miles having “passed” fucking concussion protocols…designed to allow one to play ball in the NFL….
….where research and statistics predict human brain healing after a history of concussions…omfg.
Go fuck yourself! LOL!
I don’t want Tua to fail. I want him to thrive!
One of the worst decisions I believe in MM’s stay here…and the NFL…multiple concussions…wtf?
Player safety be damned!
…lol..I’m on a rant!
Skylar has an okay arm. His arm strength was a knock on him pre-draft, I think.
From Adam Beasley:
Dolphins
Out
WR Grant DuBose (shoulder)
Doubtful
RB Raheem Mostert (chest)
WR Malik Washington (quadriceps)
Questionable
None
Seahawks
Out
LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee)
Doubtful
LB Jerome Baker (hamstring)
RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique)
OT George Fant (knee)
Questionable
S K’Von Wallace (shoulder)
TE Pharaoh Brown (foot)
LB Boye Mafe (knee)
WR Laviska Shenault Jr. (foot)
Will Miami Dolphins Have Terron Armstead, Raheem Mostert?
McDaniel, asked if Mostert would return to the lineup after missing Week 2, said, “We’ll see. … [I’m] pessimistic that he’ll play, but I can’t rule it out.”
That means another big role for Achane. The Dolphins also will count on Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jaylen Wright to contribute.
One player who definitely won’t play? Wide receiver Grant DuBose, is dealing with a non-season-ending shoulder injury. McDaniel ruled him out of Sunday’s game.
So that does mean we’ll see the NFL debut of Malik Washington, who missed the first two games of the season with a quadriceps injury but returned to practice this week? Likely not. He is also doubtful, per the team’s Friday injury report.
“He’s trending the right way,” McDaniel said of Washington. “He’s either playing under the expectation that we’re not going to risk anything or he just missed [the cutoff] by a day or so.”
Either way, the Dolphins will almost certainly activate Erik Ezukanma from the practice squad for Sunday’s game, particularly after cutting Robbie Chosen earlier this week.
Tua Tagovailoa, meanwhile, is healthy enough to make the trip to Seattle with his teammates — a wonderful sign as he continues his recovery from last week’s concussion. Tagovailoa is on injured reserve and will miss at least the next four games.
As for the Seahawks? They are even more banged up.
Nine starters missed either some or all of practice Thursday due to injury: LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee), NT Jarran Reed (knee), RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique), LB Jerome Baker (hamstring), OT George Fant (toe), TE Noah Fant (toe), WR Tyler Lockett (thigh), DE Leonard Williams (knee), and CB Devon Witherspoon (hamstring).
Walker has led his team in rushing yards every year he’s been in the league. If he cannot go, the Dolphins can expect to see a lot of Zach Charbonnet, who is averaging 2.3 yards per carry this year and 3.9 for his career.
Well, no Chosen or Dubose for this game.
That’s good! lol
what I was thinking
Would be nice to see EZ elevated and more of Tanner Conner.
The day after the concussion???
@flasportsbuzz
This is encouraging: Tua, Mostert and Jonnu and families went to Disney event the night after Buffalo game concussion and he showed no visible signs of having been concussed, per Mostert.
@flasportsbuzz
Mostert Says chest injury is an unusual one, including “fractured ” cartilage. Pain has improved. MNF game next target
So no Baker (#55) on Sunday. Shame, would be nice to see him play
I hate facing former players, in any sport so…
I’ve seen it at camp up close twice

watching Stanford vs Syracuse, the QB runs out of bounds for a 4 yard sack instead of throwing the ball away
How can a major college starting QB, one with NFL aspirations, that some call the best college QB this year be so retarded?
https://fansided.com/posts/nfl-rumors-proposed-dolphins-trade-for-tua-tagovailoa-replacement-hints-at-steelers-decision-russell-wilson
if Tua is traveling with the team, shouldn’t that mean he’s not as bad off as some thought? If so why trade for another injured QB?
Did Tua really have a concussion? Nothing I saw showed that, more like an issue with his neck
seemed similar to Waddle going into the tent for concussion protocol
bottomline is this team needs to step up and quit playing weenie football, for 7 of the 8 quarters so far they’ve had their heads up their asses
Raiola on Nebraska looks like the real deal and he is only a freshman
yes he does
His Patrick Mahomes is a little disturbing but he does play a lot like him
Mahomes worship^
Rich Eisen interviewed Matt Rhule (HC of Nebraska) this past week, and Rhule thinks the world of Raiola. Thinks he eventually grow out of his ‘Mahomes worship’, that everybody tries to emulate somebody when growing up.
I don’t see Mahomes, but he looks really good
They said, he’s so comfortable in the pocket, because he knows he’s always got a check down to throw to, what a concept MM, been calling for that Brady kind of philosophy for years
Yup!
He literally tries to look like Mahomes. Purposely cuts and styles his hair like Mahomes, wears his number and tries to act like him
he’s cool in the pocket unlike Skylar, he used to look cool in the pocket, not sure what happened to Skylar
I think he’ll get it back, just watching Huntley should do it, Skylar has the moves
I’ll tell ya ONE thing that’s happened to Skylar: our O-Line sucks more now than it did in ’22.
I don’t get the clock management by either at the end of Illinois vs Nebraska game
Illinois running the ball too much while not in FG range and Nebraska calling TO, while Nebraska wasn’t in FG range
I didn’t get to watch that game last night. I saw what y’all posted about the Nebraska QB.
How did Luke Altmyer look for Illinois? He’s a junior so I don’t know if he is one who will declare for the draft or stay one more year.
He is a red shirt junior (4th year) but it’s only his second year starting and last year #’s were meh.
He would be a day 3 or UDFA IMO but I have not watched him.
He has led them to wins over #19 Kentucky and now #22 Nebraska. Has 10 TD’s and 0 INT’s in 4 games.
he looked good, although his TD’s were pretty easy throws. Guys were wide open.
Altmeyer looked good. Good decision making. Good accuracy but didn’t display the raw athleticism of someone like Raiola
I am looking forward to watching USC QB Miller Moss today at 2:30 at #18 Michigan.
He’s one I am keeping a close eye on. He is also a red shirt junior and his first year starting so not sure if he declares either. Looked very good in their upset win over LSU.
I’m still waiting for Drew Allar to reach his potential. I don’t think that James Franklin and his staff do a great job of developing their QBs.
I was wondering the same thing. He was highly touted but not showing much. He could be a day 2 draft steal if selected by the right team with the right coaches to develop him behind someone.
My guess, with 2025 draft possibly having a big QB class, Allar stays for his senior year.
Big guy with decent mobility also.
Christian Hackenberg was a top ten pick with his two years with Bill O’Brien. He took a ver noticable step back when Franklin got there. McSorley was just a gamer, physical tools that weren’t off the chart, he just had that it factor.
Another day 3 or UDFA QB I like is Haynes King from Georgia Tech. Red shirt junior but 3rd year starting. Last 2 years were meh but he’s playing very well this year and he is a dual threat QB, 6 passing TD’s, 1 INT and 3 rushing TD’s.
They play at #19 Louisville at 2:30 on ESPN2.
I am keeping an eye on all possible QB’s who may enter the draft. We should draft a top talent, but I also think we should double down on QB with 3 7th round picks or get an UDFA.
If they are only going to play the starting QB 1 series in preseason, might as well have 4 QB’s in TC/preseason.
Tanner Conner is from 20 miles south of Seattle. Hope he gets some touches tomorrow.
Naples, where has this Clemson team been? lol
Keep an eye on IU QB Kurtis Rourke, 6’5 225. IU really hasn’t played anyone yet except UCLA, but he is playing very well. He’s a 5th year Senior transfer from Ohio University and is his 4th year starting. Mentioned him last week.
He’s been playing lights out.
Still no word on PS elevation(s) for the game. They currently only have Hill, Waddle and Berrios available for the game at WR.
USC vs Michigan game, if you watch, keep an eye on Michigan DT Kenneth Grant and their other DT. Both are possibly 1st round picks. Also, Michigan CB Will Johnson.
DRAFTWIRE has Dolphins taking DT Grant in their latest mock draft.
Sucks PSU’s safety Kevin Winston got injured. He was high on my list as a 1st round pick.
That was a big time throw by Nussmeir
^
Tyler Warren would be lethal in the Dolphins offense
Yeah, he had a good season last year. Haven’t kept up with him yet this year. I think he is projected as a mid to late 3rd round pick. Draftbuzz has him ranked (right now) as the #5 TE for the 2025 draft. We would have to take him at pick #98.
I would still like to wait and take Mason Taylor a round or two later.
Joe Schad, Palm Beach Post
SEATTLE – The Miami Dolphins elevated wide receivers Erik Ezukanma and Dee Eskridge for Sunday’s game at the Seattle Seahawks.
They’ll join Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios as available receivers.
Seattle-area tight end Tanner Conner can also play wide receiver. And so can running back De’Von Achane.
Grant DuBose has been placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury.
Miami also elevated quarterback Tim Boyle to the 53-man roster. He’s the Dolphins’ third quarterback now, along with Skylar Thompson and Tyler “Snoop” Huntley.
Ezukanma has good size and decent speed but he just hasn’t gained traction since he was drafted in the fourth round in 2022.
IDK what they see in Boyle🤦♂️
Me either, maybe they felt sorry for him when we clobbered him last year.
Brian, I responded above about Warren. I wanted to add, IMO, no way he lasts past the mid second round. I think he is the best all round TE to be in the draft next year. He will be better than Michael Mayer in the NFL. Not many TE’s his size move as well as him. When I watched him last year, I did not think his was a big TE because the way he moves.
I just saw he threw a TD pass today. lol
I do think we need to draft a TE next year. Smythe and Jannu are only under contract through 2025. Smythe seems to have regressed from last year. It shows as Hill is getting more snaps than him. Not much more. It’s actually closely balanced between all 3.
Miller Moss hanging in there for USC but the Michigan DL is killing him
Mason Taylor with 5 rec for 60 yards so far today.
Will Johnson just showed why he will be a top 10 pick
2nd pick 6 this year
IU has outscored their opponents 202-37 in 4 games! Can’t wait until they play someone good. lol
BBM,
he’s the most complete TE in college football, and probably the best. You’re right- no way he lasts past the mid 2nd round. He may be a late first.
he can block well, catch well, pass the ball and also run the ball out of the backfield . They’ve used him in a lot of goal line packages. He would be the ultimate chess piece for MM
I 100% agree and I have an idea. Trade Jannu before the draft. Then draft Warren in the 2nd and Mason Taylor in the 5th.
Get a season under their belt then Smythe is gone after 2025. Our Te’s going forward will be Hill, Warren and Taylor.
Wishful thinking. lol
I’m in
I’m not giving up on Jonnu, he was starting to show his value last game, if not for DuBose and Chosen it might very well have meant something
I blame those 2 WR schmucks for Tua’s injury indirectly, if not for the score we wouldn’t have seen the frustration run by Tua
I think FSU’s best player might be their punter. SMH
IDK how you guys can watch a lot of college football, the PIs, 4 hr games, horrible officiating…
watched all of the UM game just because they have a good team and it’s painful, 3.5 hrs with 13 minutes to go
I’m at work every weekend. It’s nice to get paid to watch football and post on a blog. lol
Aiight😜
I think we’re going to the Pensacola Lighthouse on Monday, then the other 30 in Florida
the U and Cam Ward, wow!
Dude can FN ball
The transfer portal has been very good to the U, they’re loaded
All USF fans have long left the building
this is for my friends who might miss it and for no other reason
it’s game day bitches
go dolphins
Thanks Rock!
Lol…thank you
Bummer!
Rest in Peace to Miami Dolphins legend Mercury Morris.
RIP Merc
RIP
This one hurts, had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years ago in Vegas on SB Sunday at a casino, where he was signing autographs
My brother bought the autographed and framed picture, it’s on his living room wall
We were the first ones in line, so got to talk to him for about 5 minutes, he was very nice to me
Very cool!
RIP Mercury Morris
Funny how dudes can bond over something gross.
After I got to work this morning, I was standing under our front awning getting some fresh air. No traffic. We are on the corner of an intersection. I had an itch in my nose and realized I had a big booger. The light turned red and this big pickup came rolling slowly up to the light. Dude looked at me digging, I looked at him and he yelled “Did you get it?” I pulled the booger out and held it high and yelled back “Got it!” Just as the light turned green, he rolled on sticking his hand out the window and gave me a thumbs up.
Cool moment. lol
Things you do when you think you’re alone fir $100 Alex
lol
now he’s going to have to turn the picture into a shrine
RIP Mercury Morris one of my all time favorites
RIP mercury. Maybe this will lead to an inspired performance today!
I didn’t realize WR D”Wayne Eskridge was a 2020 2nd round pick of the Seahawks.
Went on IR in 21′ for bad concussion and IR 22′ for broken hand. Then in 23′ was suspended by NFL for personal conduct domestic incident. He was released by Seahawks in final cuts this year.
He was elevated with EZ for the game today.
Is having a significant injury history a prerequisite to getting signed by the Dolphins? WTF?
Yes Mike. Yes it is.
might be, but would you rather have the healthy guy with no talent or the talented injury prone guy to fill in for a week?
Interesting snippet from an interview this morning, Marc Malusis “Moose” from WFAN in NY asking some “expert” on NFL topics and then they get to Tua, and Moose asks this guy (didn’t get his name) if he thinks Tua Tagovailoa will play again for the Miami Dolphins. He says he probably would have played either this week or next week if he was on a different team, the Dolphins are just being very cautious as they should. It’s such a strange situation, the Dolphins are basically forced, for PR reasons to be more careful with Tua because of the perception they are throwing him to the wolves, when it’s totally his choice. Now I get how fragile he is, and how it doesn’t take much of a hit to concuss him, but that’s up to him. If he wants to play, he’s going to play. If/when he decides to retire, that will also be up to him, not the Dolphins. Either way, we best be drafting a QB next season, and the Tua situation will take care of itself. We can’t rely on him, that would be foolish.
yeah, if he’s traveling on a plane he should be close to coming back. The Dolphins are in a no win situation with Tua .
I agree with thus.
And, the sad part is that Tua’s all in to return. It’s his decision and risks be damned. I hope the best for him.
^this
LOL @ Bri – I can see the interview . . .
Dolphins: “So tell me, what injuries have you had recently?”
Player: “Well, I broke my hand last season”
Dolphins: “Hmm, that doesn’t sound that bad, I don’t think you’re a fit here”
Player: “But I had a concussion two years ago!”
Dolphins: “How much time did you miss?”
Player: “I missed the entire season, it was really bad!” I don’t remember anything from 2022!”
Dolphins: “Wow, that’s waaaay different, you got yourself a job pal! Welcome to Miami!”
😂
I know you’re just being a wise guy, but…see my post above
Justin Jefferson now on ESPN they showed his long TD against SF last week
The back judge was running right along with the players enroute to the EZ
’bout FN time they hired someone that can actually run to officiate up close, tired of seeing these 90 yr old guys officiating games
The pickins are slim at WR, you do what you can
I don’t expect much from Wayne Eskridge today, although he’s playing against his former team and is a 4.39 guy
or Dewayne Eskridge
I give up with this spell check
ILB Brooks is also from the Seahawks.
Steve – Which post? The 11:23AM? If that’s the one, maybe we need someone with less talent, more desire, and the ability to actually be on the field a few games which can give them some continuity, rather than throwing a different guy out there each week. Really hoping EZ can stay healthy and show us something. I like him, but man he’s looking more fragile than Tua so far
I hate 4 pm starts
Former Dolphins Safety Brandon Jones with a nice INT and a 36 yard return
Wish we still had him instead of Poyer
^^
After all these years, Mercury Morris is 9th in yards per carry going back to 1933. Four of the players ahead of him are QB’s.
Ken – I hear ya. I think we got Poyer about 3 years too late
That’s a bingo
Vikings look FR!
I would love for Sam Darnold to excel just to piss off Jet fans
True, lol
Neighbors just made a sick catch
Sirianni is an idiot
Tindall inactive again. Another Grier gem
Every time I see AVG make a play for the Vikes it pisses me off!
6 tackles (5 solo) and a sack so far
FinsUp!!!
Under 7 min to go and a 1 point lead, Eagles try a 60 yard FG instead of punting and pinning the Saints. Missed, now Saints have short field. WTF
3rd really bad decision from Sirianni. Their defense has held the Saints to 2 FGs and instead of putting it in the Ds hands he leaves the Saints in a position to take the lead with one first down.
Texans, Chargers and Bucs being eliminated for the ranks of the undefeated.
LOL, anyone watching the Eagles Saints? Ref calls the foul “The player continued to block the player all the way into the bench.”
Really dumb play, could cost them the game.
Sirianni has done everything he can to lose this game. Plenty of time for another awful decision or two.
Yes was pretty dumb for sure
Wow, Saints defense blooow it
wow
Still time left for Eagles to screw up lol
let’s go 🐬
