Happy Valentines Day to all my friends here, I hope you’re enjoying this financially driven holiday with loved ones or whoever you spend it with. My advice to you is think happy thoughts, in other words, try not to think of the Miami Dolphins so you can actually enjoy the day!

The last 3?
Very nice OL draft!!
Last 3, I probably go DT and Safety again then either a RB or WR.
Thank you, Mike E.! I love you, too!
Wyoming, PFN updated their player rankings and that may be the reason Savaiinaea is falling to us and Zabel no longer makes it past the 2nd round.
Could be
Brett Tessler
Looks like my client Raheem Mostert will be playing elsewhere next season. Very thankful for his time with the Miami Dolphins, and this gives them a chance to get younger and gives him a chance to pursue a ring elsewhere.
Since they barely used Jaylen Wright last season, maybe they’ll actually use him this season. Same for Patrick Paul. I don’t care if Terron Armstead comes back, Paul has to play. You can’t draft guys on RD 2 and 3 and not have them starting, or at least having significant playing time
I’d put Zabel at guard. Is he really still being seen as an OT?
Randy
I would put both of them at OG until they need to move to OT due to injuries in the second quarter of our first game.
Wyoming,
Lol. Good point.
I agree with Wyoming. I am drafting these OT’s who can move inside to play OG and move outside when needed. I view Jonah Savaiinaea the same as Zabel
Dolphins also released CB Kendall Fuller, as well as backup TE Durham Smythe. Both positions are a need position now, since there really isn’t a starter opposite CB Jalen Ramsey, and the depth behind Jonnu Smith is hideous, Julian Hill and Tanner Conner. Ugh!
Didn’t see the Fuller cut coming. Smythe is not a surprise. He fell off last year.
TE Hayden Rucci looked good in TC and preseason last year. I think he takes that next step and replaces Smythe easily. He was a very good blocking TE coming out of college.
Anyone know if we officially hired Bobby Slowik?
Never mind, I didn’t see anything on the Dolphins Website, but when I went to the Coaches tab on the website, there he is, listed as “Senior Passing Game Coordinator”
Someone posted the other day. I said hopefully he takes over play calling duties but I doubt it.
He was with MM on the 49er’s staff.
He replaces Wes Welker right?
I thought Welker was just WR coach???
None of those releases surprised me. Mostert will be 33 and that’s not a good age for RBs. I expect Achane and Wright to be the duo unless we find another young back that becomes part of the mix.
Smythe was always solid but not special. He had a good run with us.
Fuller was banged up and is getting long in the tooth.
I wonder if Fuller is still having issues with the concussions he had last year. When he came back, he was gun shy as hell and didn’t want to hit anyone.
Grief fucks the club again! Fuller has void years in ’26, ’27 & ’28. Now we have to accelerate those years into ’25 so there goes another 8M of our ’25 cap which is already upside down!! He should be executed not fired!!
See below. Just over 2 mill of that wasn’t guaranteed until after the start of the new league year and his roster bonus goes away also
Tim – surprising or not, we’re going to go into the draft with about 25 players on the roster. It’s kind of crazy the amount of roster turnover we’re going to have.
25 real players. After the 3 cuts, that should put us at around 46 on the current roster.
No we’re not, FA is first as M13 always says. We’re going to meet the numbers on the roster, it’s about the talent we end up with.
With the releases of Mostert, Smythe and Fuller the dolphins cleared 8,181,000 in cap.
Mostert cleared 3,065,000 with 1 mill in dead cap
Smythe cleared 2,175,000 with 2,656,666 in dead cap
Fuller cleared 2,941,000 with 5,412,000 in dead cap
That’s a lot of dead money on Fuller and opens ANOTHER big hole on defense. That tells me there might still be something wrong with Fuller.
It keeps getting harder to see the good moves Grier has made. The hits just keep coming. I swear to all of you if they’re shit again this season and they bring him back I’m not writing another article until he’s gone and I’m not wasting my time with this team
This really changes things (prior to free agency) as far as doing mock drafts with the added needs at CB, TE and RB. TE and RB not as urgent with Jannu, Hill and Rucci.
This brings in the possibilities of drafting CB Will Johnson or Tyler Warren at #13.
^
With Armstead wanting to play another year, look for another restructure on him moving more dead money to void years.
You can’t start him at LT unless you’re going to move Patrick Paul to OG
I don’t know if Paul could play OG. Where’s the OL guru’s on here to answer that? He seems a bit tall. Then again Becton of the Eagles is 6’7 also.
Will Tua be able to see over that OL? lol
When we release a player and have to pay all their dead money this year, does that include all the dead money pushed forward to void years? I don’t know.
If Armstead doesn’t retire, they could trade him and clear 4.4 mill in cap with 18.5 in dead money. He would cost the team trading for him 14.3 mill.
I think a restructure is more likely.

LOL. Gonna be a long year.
Mike – if Paul can’t play OG then you either don’t sign Armstead or he comes here as a backup
Landon Dickerson is 6’6 332 and Mekhi Becton is 6’8 367
Damn!
Jackson and Paul are going to be top options at tackle. Armstead is a top level player and leader although often injured. He did play in 15 games last year. We need better guards.

176. Nohl Williams CB California
226. Cody Simon LB Ohio State
233. Shilo Sanders S Colorado
252. Ja’Corey Brooks WR Louisville
Tim – so what would be your plan? Do you keep Armstead, and if you do, you’re good with Paul basically sitting another season, playing only when Armstead gets hurt or is tired?
Here’s a day 3 RB to keep in mind. DJ Giddens, 6’1, 212. He’s not a burner but great lateral movement. Probably runs in the 4.5’s.
After watching this, it doesn’t make me feel good about Shilo Sanders as the 2nd safety I drafted.
The first minute or so is him breaking Sanders ankles. lol
I like CB Hairston as a 2nd round pick. He would probably be considered a 1st if he had not hurt his shoulder last season. He tried to play through it but ended up only playing 5 games the 2024 season.
In 18 games over the last 2 seasons he had 85 tackles, 1 sack, 3 FF, 6 INT’s with 3 being pick 6 and 10 PD’s.
Small sample from last year:
He is scheme versatile also.

No we’re not, FA is first as M13 always says. We’re going to meet the numbers on the roster, it’s about the talent we end up with.
—————
And as Tim always says, that’s a BINGO!
FA comes first…
Re-sign: Calais Campbell, DL, Phins; Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Phins; Benito Jones, DT, Phins; Tyrel Dodson, LB, Phins (AAS, per Spotrac: $5.0M/year); Kader Kohou, DB, Phins; Isaiah Wynn, OL, Phins; River Cracraft (AAS, per Spotrac: $1.1M/year);
— Marcus Mariota, QB, Redskins (AAS, per Spotrac: $4.2M/year)
— James Daniels, RG, Stealers* (AAS, per Spotrac: $7.8M/year)
— Richie Grant, S, Falcons (AAS, per Spotrac: $5.3M/year)
We need to get to roughly $33M under the cap to account for these signings
And there will be many smaller contracts doled out to various FAs to fill positions and the roster out as a whole. They will be system-fit FAs and UDFAs. We probably need to clear an additional… $10M out for that (just a guess)?
It’s not hard at all to fill out the roster no matter the cap situation.
100% it’s about the talent that is there on the final 53.
^
I should have stated that we need to create more space to sign our rookie Draft class.
Elijah Arroyo and Mason Taylor grade much better in blocking than any of the top 4 TE’s before them in Warren, Loveland, Fannin and Helm.
Best blocking TE, by far, is Jackson Hawes from Georgia Tech.

I should have stated that we need to create more space to sign our rookie Draft class.
————
That’s ok, we are not used to having a 1st round pick where they will count against the top 51. lol
I think Nohl Williams is worth 5th or 6th round pick if you miss a CB early. I don’t think he lasts past the 6th. He is solid in every aspect and one of the better tackling and run defending CB’s in the draft. Reminds me a lot of Kohou.
7 INT’s and 8 PD’s last season.
BBM, a couple of other TEs to look at in terms of blocking prowess…
Sean Brown, Jax State, 6’5″, 250, 4.77 40-time
Miles Kitselman, Tennessee, 6’5″, 256, 4.86 40-time
These are both potential late day-3 picks or UDFAs, WCO/ZBS fits, and block even better than Arroyo, Taylor, Warren, Loveland, Fannin, Helm, and Hawes.
No… neither Brown nor Kitselman will become the next Tony Gonzalez, but it sure seems to me that either could replace Durham Smythe in the McD Offense.
Sounds good. I am all about not spending a pick on a blocking TE. We did it with Hill and Rucci. I got my hopes up on Rucci.
WR Ja’Corey Brooks, 6’3, 195 has very good skills. The questions on him revolve around his 40 time, sites are all over the place on it from 4.48 to 4.83. Will have to see what he runs at the combine or his pro day. He could be a 7th round steal.
He reminds me of former Bengal Tyler Boyd.
I really like Jackson Hawes as a day 3 TE. Not only is he one of the best blockers in the draft at 6’5, 259 pounds but he is a good receiver as well. Georgia Tech’s offense is geared towards running the ball so, of course, the stats won’t be there. He does have RAC ability and is difficult to bring down.
Posted Ryder’s breakdown on Hawes before.
its now or never for Cam Smith

Mike, I don’t know how the tackle position will pan out, but one thing we all know, is you need depth because every year it seems like we have to play at least 4 tackles.
That’s why I am high on drafting OT’s who can play inside or out.
You always need some versatility.

every group, from No. 1 to 32, providing accompanying grades and analysis. https://nfl.com/news/nfl-rookie-grades-ranking-each-2024-draft-class-from-nos-1-to-32?campaign=Twitter_atn
“His definitive trait? A lightning-quick first step. Per Next Gen Stats, (Chop) Robinson had an average get-off of 0.75 seconds. That’s near the top of the league, edging out twitchy Pro Bowlers Nik Bonitto (0.76) and Micah Parsons (0.77)”.
Quick-twitchers are very, very difficult to contain: it’s one of the reasons I’m stuck on Walter Nolen.

How The Dolphins Can Create $34 Mil In Cap Space! | Who Gets Cut Next?!
The braintrust in Bristol, Connecticut (ESPN), believe we could be a team willing to trade for Myles Garrett. It’s theorized that all it would take is our ’25 1st rounder, our ’26 1st rounder, and our ’26 3rd rounder… and by cutting Bradley Chubb (post-June 1st designation), we could fit Garrett in under the salary cap.
Well then… on top of cutting Chubb (post-June 1st designation), how about we send our ’25 1st rounder, our ’26 1st rounder, and our ’26 3rd rounder to Cleveland to move up to take Abdul Carter instead? Carter is much younger and we’d save much more $$$, instead of having to pay Garrett.
For the record, I’d rather keep our picks and build for the future.
Just let it be known… if we want Myles Garrett, we can make it happen and under the salary cap. I think it would be a VERY bad idea, however.
If we are still in the ‘WIN NOW’ mode, it wouldn’t surprise me whatsoever.
IMO, if Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel are on the ‘hot seat’ (they are!), they have no business trading the future away for the next GM and HC.
We’re so far from being just one player away, there’s no good reason for us to trade for Myles Garrett
I don’t think we’ll be the team trading for him.
We need to start building a team. We need to draft players that make an impact, hopefully sooner than later. Forget position, in other words don’t overdraft an OG at #13 if there’s a better DT or S, or CB.
Teams should always do that.
Should, but I’m not sure we have been. His record on our picks have been dreadful. Tindall, Cam Smith, whiffed on those early picks. Trades future picks to get a RB he doesn’t use year one. Who does that?
Grier/McDaniel made the playoffs the first two years together. Then last season things fell apart in multiple ways. I don’t think the seat is as hot as many fans do unless next season is even worse. I do think this team can rebound.
Tim – going all in to make the playoffs and then get exposed as not belonging on the field and then leaving the team in a shambles with no cap room, maybe 20-25 players worth keeping. You need to look past the surface, this team is in shitty shape right now. What’s the core of this team?
We’re going to find out, we need to add better players throughout the team. I feel making the running game a priority will go along way in all three phases. If we can knock people off the ball better Achane and Wright can feast. It happens fast. Both are on rookie deals for the next few years.
Every time Cam Smith took a step forward he got hurt. This is huge year for him as a bust or a legit player.

How The Dolphins Can Create $34 Mil In Cap Space! | Who Gets Cut Next?!
——————-
I watched his video earlier. He said the Dolphins can clear that cap “without mortgaging the future” (even repeating it). Then goes on to talk about restructuring Chubb, Jackson and Seiler. Well, that’s pushing money down the road and dead money into void years, otherwise known as MORTGAGING THE FUTURE. lol
Especially on Chubb. He was already restructured to the tune of 6.4 mil a year which is why he is costing nearly 30 mil this year and through 2027 with 2.7 dead cap on a 2028 void year. Restructuring him again only will push his 2026 cap to like 35 mil and more dead money down the road to more void years. Then we won’t be able to cut him in 2026 because of the added dead cap.
He also mentions cutting Jullian Hill creating a bigger hole at TE. Why? Hill’s cap is only $1,034,167 this year. He won’t even crack the top 51 and won’t affect anything. Makes no sense.
M, not shooting the messenger. I actually like Doug’s video’s but he was off on this one, IMO.
Bradley Chubb options:
Play him on his $28,661,489 cap hit this year. Find the cap space elsewhere. Hope he stays healthy and balls out. If he does, trade him prior to 2026 draft. He will only cost a team trading for him 20.2 mill in 2026 and we will clear 11 mill of cap in 2026. If not, pre 6/1 release and clear the same.
Second option, Trade or release him now. He will only cost a team 20 mill per this year and next. We take the huge dead cap hit but still clear 1.2 mill in cap this year, but, more importantly, he is off the books forever and we clear 30 mill in cap for 2026 and 2027.
Third option, designate him a Post 6/1 release or trade him after 6/1. We clear 19.5 in cap after 6/1 and clear 11 mill in 2026 then he is off the books forever.
Last option, keep him, restructure him again and mortgage the future.
Spotrac projects the salary cap to be 275 million. They currently have the dolphins at -7,678,641 in cap.
OTC has us at -5,437,045 in cap.
I’m dreading the restructures

AGREED. IMO, Doug was WAAAAAY off on this one, as he’s not even considering dead cap or further future ramifications. That’s exactly why I prefaced it with “For whatever it’s worth”.
Thank you for not shooting the messenger, my guy!
I think/hope/know that by now, y’all understand it’s not necessarily an endorsement of sorts when I post something by another.
I LOVE it when others chime in, expressing their opinions. And that’s what makes this blog so unique and special.
^^
Looking for another late day 3 safety. Seyi Oladipo, 5’11, 202 is decent. More of a strong safety/run defender. Boise State blitzed him a lot last year and he ended up with 6.5 sacks.
We need to add a bigger target at receiver. Hill, Waddle, Achane and Smith are very good. But we need a high point guy in certain situations.
Yeah, many of us have been mocking one to us in the 4th or 5th round.
Then there is Tyler Boyd in FA.
Maybe but he’s been regressing.
100% agreed as usual, Tim. And as ya probably know, I’ve been sayin’ we’re missing a DeVante Parker or a Mike Gesicki-type target in redzone sits.
A guy with an outstanding catch radius, who can leap, and can win ‘jump ball’ situations.
A prospect I really like is LB Jihaad Campbell. Him and Brooks along with Chop, lots of options. That’s three that track you down.
Many of us like him also. Though keep missing on him trying to fill the trenches. He’s my fav ILB prospect.
If I had to pick the core players for this team, it would be:
QB Tua Tagovailoa
WR Tyreek Hill
DT Zach Sieler
DB Jalen Ramsey
WR Jaylen Waddle
RB De’Von Achane
OLB/DE Chop Robinson
OLB/DE Bradley Chubb
___________________________
The problem with all of that, is Tua is hurt way too much, and he hasn’t proven he can elevate his game or his team against when needed. Tyreek Hill, although he plays hard and works hard when on the field quit on the team, and that’s a huge strike for me no matter what he was thinking. I feel you can’t make him a team captain again, and I’d fucking make that clear to him.
Zach Sieler is awesome, hope he stays here the rest of his career, but we need to make sure we give him some help on the D-line. Jalen Ramsey is probably going to start his descent if he hasn’t already, so we need to be prepared for that. Holland is as good as gone, so we need to find a safety and someone to play opposite Ramsey at CB or having Ramsey won’t mean a thing.
While Jaylen Waddle is good, he doesn’t seem to be a dominant #1 WR. He doesn’t have to be while Hill is here, but will he make the jump once Hill is gone? We’ll see. Achane is great, but durability still concerns me.
Chop is a player who’s growing and hopefully has a nice trajectory for us, but putting him in the core is mostly based on hope. Chubb is a huge question mark because he has a huge cap hit for this team, so he might get cut, post June 1, or worse, they restructure his deal which could keep yet another injury prone player around longer. Will they ever fucking learn? We’ll see.
All in all, a very questionable core, one that doesn’t match up well with some of the best teams, which is where we want to be someday.
No OL on your core list. Ouch! I think I would add Jackson. Though not elite, he has become very solid especially in the run game.
Jackson is really an average OL. You think he belongs in the core?
Dolphins core maybe not another team’s core. LOL
Tim, I was talking about Tyler Boyd as a #3. He may be regressing but has been a solid go to his whole career especially as a #3. I am not counting last year on the Titans where they had QB issues. In 2023, he had 67 rec for 667 and 2 TD’s as a #3 WR. As a #3 with Hill, Waddle and Jannu, I can see him having similar 2023 #’s with us.
He would also come cheap around 2 mill or just under.
The Saints are interviewing Dolphins wide receivers coach Robert Prince for their OC job on Saturday night, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
OLB Jalyx Hunt was fined $5,690 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gestures) for a bow and arrow sack celebration during Super Bowl LIX.
SHM, so you can’t do the bow and arrow celebration anymore. WTF
That’s nonsense
7 cornerbacks the Dolphins could pursue after releasing Kendall Fuller
LOL @ Mike! Our team’s core really doesn’t match up well at all. That’s the problem. Even more problematic, only 4 are our draft picks.
Only 4 are our draft picks because we keep trading them away.
Rock, here you go.

14. DEN: $40.3M
I wish I was. LOL
I just feel bad copying and pasting from their article. I will sometimes copy and paste a comment them post the link with it.
At this point, the only players I would take at #13 are DT Mason Graham, CB Will Johnson or TE Tyler Warren, in that order.
Though, if Mason Graham or Will Johnson fall to #13, expect a huge trade offer from Harbaugh and the Chargers. They have a huge need for DT and CB. Those 2 are Harbaugh’s guys he recruited to Michigan and he will want either of them.
IMO, Johnson is CB1 and I would take him over Travis Hunter.
Chargers also need a TE but don’t think they would trade up for one.
Prior to free agency, the top need for every team by position per 33rd Team:
7 top need QB
7 top need Edge
5 top need CB
4 top need OG (Dolphins listed here)
2 top need OT
2 top need DT
2 top need WR
2 top need TE
1 top need ILB
Teams will fill some of the top needs in FA and their top draft needs will change. Though, some of the FA signings will be stopgap signings and they will still have that need as a top need, especially at QB.
I expect Ward, Sanders, Dart, Ewers and Milroe gone by the end of the 2nd round. Then, McCord, Gabriel and Howard gone by end of 3rd round.

You are right, I should have said continue to draft well AND not trade away your draft picks which they don’t do either.
Yeah, they got DT Jalen Carter with the 1st round pick we traded them to move up for Waddle, one of 2 first rounds picks we used to draft Waddle.
Don’t get me started on that again, BBM still fuming.
Kind of got a new MAN CRUSH at DT for the draft at pick #135 or #151. Walter Nolen’s teammate DT JJ Pegues. Someone had him on their mock not long ago.
He’s 6’2, 320 and projects to run a sub 4.9 forty, powerful and quick. He came into college as a TE and switched to DT at Auburn before transferring to Ole Miss. The athletic traits as a TE show. He can play any position on the DL. Last 3 season totals (last 2 as a starter), 110 tackles, 27 TFL, 10 sacks and 5 PD’s.
Where the man crush comes in is in his athletic versatility. JJ Pegues is still a weapon at HB/FB/short yardage RB at 6’2, 320 pounds.
In 2024 for Ole Miss, he had 21 carries for 69 yards, SCORING 7 TD’s and CONVERTING 12 FIRST DOWNS. That’s 19 successful attempts out of 21 or over 90% success rate. He also had 1 TD reception for Ole Miss.
On 1st and goal he had 2 attempts with 2 TD’s, 100%.
On 2nd and goal he had 2 Attempts with 2 TD’s, 100%.
On 3rd and 1 to 3 yards he was 8 for 8 with 3 TD’s and 5 first downs, 100%.
On 4th down he was 7 for 9 converting 7 first downs, 78%.
He even has a little bit of a jump cut ability at his size.
Hmmm, very in-ter-esting . . .
JJ Pegues quickness off the snap where he toasts the RG.
He gets there quick.
Ole Miss has 4 good defensive players in the draft and I wouldn’t mind having any of them or all of them. LOL
ILB Chris Paul is another I like but most likely gone by mid 3rd round.

I’ve mocked him to us a couple of times in studying Walter Nolen. Yes, JJ Pegues is pretty darned good and wouldn’t mind landing him either.
I knew a little about him but just learned about what he can bring to an offense in short yardage. Rather impressive
He’s not a “Fridge” or Dontari Poe gimmick. He’s a legit short yardage threat.
YUP, former TE.
Just imagine landing both Walter Nolen and JJ Pegues. We’d be ‘Flowin’ on the D-Line’ like SHOCK G!

Your eyes don’t betray you. I’m BIG on Jihaad Campbell, just not sure we necessarily need him as an early selection for the LB room. Hey, if we do draft him early, I’ll be very happy!
Regarding FA and the Draft, I really don’t care HOW we get it done… just GET it done! There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and so long as the cat gets skinned at the end, we’ll be successful.
What does that mean? It means there’s more than just one mere way to achieve success through FA and the Draft. That, and who coined the term “more than one way to skin a cat”… and WHY? What kind of sick fuck actually wants to kill and then skin a cat?
Hulkster and I love cats!
HA! It worked. OLE MISS MOCK DRAFT
18. Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss
48. Trey Amos CB Ole Miss
50. Jaxson Dart QB Ole Miss
98. Chris Paul LB Ole Miss
115. Jaylen Reed S Penn State
137. J.J. Pegues DT Ole Miss
151. Jalen Rivers OT Miami (FL)
173. Jonah Monheim OC USC
226. Rylie Mills DT Notre Dame
233. Cody Simon LB Ohio State
252. Glendon Miller S Maryland
WOW!!! That would be a KILLER DRAFT!!!
Seriously, that Ole Miss team of last season has some very, very serious talent.
I keep falling back to Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas in my mocks. However, with the release of Will Fuller, we could very well go CB much earlier.
I like both Kansas CB’s Dotson and Bryant. Bryant may be more a of slot CB though.
BALL HAWK!!!
Nice! I can’t see him lasting past #98 though, maybe.
So Icognito got a bad rap with bullygate? I didn’t read the article. Would make sense though how the opinion and verdict is formed before the real facts come out nowadays. But why is this coming up now?
I missed that. What’s the new verdict?
M13, I see Jihaad Campbell as a 3 down LB. He’s comparable to Fred Turner. He’s got size, strength, speed and instincts.
ABSOLUTELY, man!

———————————
One of the worst things I ever watched on video was some restaurant where they dip a live cat in hot oil, then strip it’s skin straight off and drop it skinless into cold water where it drowns before they prepare it for eating. I think it might have been ‘Faces of Death'(?) – truly disturbing, the images have stuck with me for like 35 years.
Ugh! That’s awful.
Thanks for sharing…lol
‘Faces of Death’… yeah, Bro. I unfortunately watched that as a teenager too… and some of those images are scarred into my mind as well. Absolutely repugnant and vomit-inducing.
The gift that keeps on giving, TH. Now, he doesn’t like people criticizing for quitting.. What a punk!
Tim,
Jonathan Martin came out to ESPN and admitted that he was never bullied… that it was all a hoax for him to save face in his failing NFL career.
Then Omar wrote about it, and made it political by calling President Trump a bully.
Not surprised. I always felt Martin was the unhinged one.
No need to take a shot at Trump, but whatever.
Yeah, Faces of Death. Just awful. Hoping the 2025 Miami Dolphins season doesn’t top it, but I think it’s possible.
You’ve gone total scorched earth with this team. 🤪
I have, because I don’t trust Grier and MM to not be irresponsible and ruin future assets to try and win now. Funny thing is we can really suck this season and Ross still might not fire anyone. If that happens I’ll finally agree that Ross is the problem with this team.
Mike E,
Stevie Ross has ALWAYS been the problem with this team, PERIOD. Not sure how much more evidence ya need, bud.
@68INCOGNITO
He couldn’t cut it in the NFL so he quit and his mom blamed me. Legacy media pushed this narrative long and far. Too bad it was all a lie! They lied to protect his money. He quit… the team had every right to claw back that money. His mom started the bullying narrative with
@espn
@AdamSchefter
so that
@MiamiDolphins
wouldn’t go after his signing bonus!
And leave it to Omar to spin the story in retrospect, 10 years later… SMH. Don’t even bother to read his take.
And to think I stuck up for Omar BIG TIME just the other day, when a racist was coming after him… and he just HAS to get a jab in on the President. SMH

Looks like I was proven right again. I was literally the only person on this blog that said this and got a lot of crap for it.
I’m waiting for the lawsuits to ensue over this matter. Steve Ross and the organization can’t be happy, Dark Richie can’t be happy after getting black-balled and suspended by the league, and there were a couple of other lesser known players named who presumably got black-balled by the league.
I saw a good one yesterday that I cannot take credit for: Jussie Martin.
Personally, I think Roger Goodell should make a public apology to the Miami Dolphins organization for the way he went after them during this saga. And then, he should just resign.
Never going to happen, but I can dream.
ahem

Nice!
They’re talking about moving on from Kelce in KC. Warren would be a great fit with Mahomes.
They would most likely have to trade up for him.
I was wrong about Martin/Incognito. Can’t be right all the time, just most of the time. lol
I was more upset at the time to find out that Pouncey was dealing drugs to the other Olinemen in the locker room (molly) and the stories about the strip clubs, etc.
Something funny . . . Remember that Minnesota Vikings team that had that crazy party with all those girls and got in trouble? To this day, whenever I see a commercial for Viking Cruises, that’s what I think of.
Kelce is slowing down. I wouldn’t be surprised if he retired.
Test
Getting back to ‘normal’. Had a pretty crazy weekend. Not in a good way. 😂
Significant flooding in my neck of the woods. Was literally surrounded by the water Sunday night. Fortunately we only had water about 2.5 feet in my moms basement and my house across the street was dry.
Ugh, sorry to hear that, Herd. Wishing you all the best.
Sorry to hear that Herd

Lol. No you weren’t. Always revising history. Argue with someone nonstop then later claim you were saying the same thing all along.
Talk about revising history…lmao.
You leave history OUT so it suits your narrative…what a joke!
In my book, you’re way beyond revisionist….LIAR is most appropriate…lol
He wasn’t talking to you. No reason to call names.
It’s not name calling…it’s a fact based on his history with me…he fucking lied about me!
You should stay out of this!
AND, he/she will always be a LIAR until he acknowledges he was wrong and apologizes. So, fuck off…lol
I always thought Martin was the unhinged one. The entire team didn’t see bullying going on. By the way I don’t really care what you think.
Daniel Jeremiah’s new 1st round mock has the Dolphins taking OG Tyler Booker at #13.
He is very good in pass pro but didn’t grade as well in run blocking. He did well run blocking when Alabama mainly a gap scheme. Their new OC last year mixed it up with gap and zone. That’s why I think his run blocking fell off last season. I don’t think he is athletic enough for a zone scheme.
#13 is really high for an OL who is strictly an OG and no versatility to play OT or center.
Don’t worry about it BBMike, there is a reason I rarely post much here anymore. I have no desire for the negativity. Sports are no longer that important to me. I still enjoy sports but the outside noise and personal stuff is over for me. If my team doesn’t meet expectations I shake it off and move on. The self righteous bullshit is a waste of time.
Some of you stay on point and move onto the next season. The deep rooted dissatisfaction is not for me. That’s pretty much it.
So now go do some more mock drafts and enjoy yourself. 🙂
Kind of wore myself out on it, believe it or not. LOL Mainly waiting for after combine next week then put out a few. Then after free agency starts in about 3 weeks, it’s time to go hog wild for a month.
One vet QB off the board. Andy Dalton resigns a 2 year deal with the Panthers.
Kelce is slowing down. I wouldn’t be surprised if he retired.

Taylor Swift is sucking the life out of him. lol

A lot of people on this blog talk about accountability, BUT few live it…lmao!
What’s accountable about posting opinions on a blog? Does it change anything?
It’s also known as weak or soft…lol
