Before we get to the actual game, if you weren’t around yesterday, didn’t listen to any football related matters, the Miami Dolphins released some bombshell news, news that your’s truly is extremely hopeful about. The Miami Dolphins have announced that Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross has hired ESPN Analyst and Commentator Troy Aikman as a consultant to help in the process of finding the next Miami Dolphins GM. Some will be miffed that it’s Troy Aikman, and he hasn’t played in 25 years, not coincidentally the last time the Miami Dolphins won a playoff game. Relax! He’s going to be a consultant, not the final say, just there to help and give a little guidance. He’s still a huge part of the game, he sees every team play and is still quite connected to the game. The bigger point though is that even if you don’t think Aikman should be the guy to consult, the Dolphins are doing what needs to be done. They are trying to find the right GM to build this team the right way, and for goodness sake, that’s exactly what I’ve been asking for. No half measures, no restrictions, no ultimatums, hire the right NFL Exec and give him full autonomy to hire the Head Coach he chooses and have full control over player personnel. Accountability is paramount here. You need to have one person making these decisions, and while the GM Head Coach relationship needs to be a cohesive one, while the Head Coach could pounding the table for a particular player, the GM has to have the final say and do his due diligence as he will ultimately be the one responsible for that decision. There can be no gray area, the GM will run the show and hopefully choose the right Head Coach to make this team competitive year in and year out.
After that stunning news, I feel like anything else I say pales in comparison, but there is one more game to be played, and the guy wearing #14 for the Miami Dolphins has to be pumped up to face the New England Patriots to spoil their bid to become the AFC #1 seed. I feel like sometimes the teams that are playing for seeding don’t necessarily seem super motivated. I don’t think that will be the case late Sunday afternoon because Mike Vrabel is a disciplined Head Coach from the Bill Belichick tree, and I believe he understands full well he’d rather play all the games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough rather than have to travel to Denver to play the Broncos in their house. I guess we’ll see what happens in that regard, but the Dolphins at 7-9 have been eliminated from playoff contention, and at the moment will likely be picking just outside the Top 10 in the 2026 NFL Draft. One important information we don’t have is whether or not Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel will be returning. My assumption is that he will not be, as the GM search would indicate they’re attempting to do this the right way, but until I actually read it, I’ll have that small bit of doubt.
Change. The GM search is a beacon of change, and after 25 years of not winning a playoff game, I’d say change is in order. I believe Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa are joined at the hip, and I think since QB Tua Tagovailoa is holding a clip board, Mike McDaniel will soon be looking for another job in the NFL after this week when Black Monday rolls around. This is historically the day when NFL Head Coaches are let go from their respective teams after not having a good season or seasons. I do expect Mike McDaniel to be one of those coaches, but again, it hasn’t happened and there are no guarantees. You guys know how I feel about QB Tua Tagovailoa, any QB who puts himself above the team is OUT for me. He 100% values his health above the success of the team and his play on the field reflects is over and over. I never want to see him taking snaps for this team ever again, and I’m pretty sure that’s a done deal. As to who the next Miami Dolphins Head Coach will be, a lot of dominos have to fall first before that picture gets any clearer. Will Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin be let go after 19 years if they miss the playoffs? Will Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh be let go after 18 years if they miss the playoffs? I think it’s strange to even think those things, but it’s 2026 now, and if you haven’t noticed, things are just different.
Since the whole GM search and then Head Coach search thing is unclear, let’s get back to Sunday’s game. The Patriots and Broncos are both 13-3. The Broncos host the LA Chargers while the Patriots host our Miami Dolphins. The Broncos come off a defensive struggle 20-13 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs while the Patriots are coming off a blowout 42-10 win over the NY Jets. Both teams want nothing more than to play every playoff game in their house. Our Dolphins have played well in Foxborough, We beat the Patriots 15-10 last season, 24-17 in 2023, but lost a close 23-21 game in 2022. We are very different teams though. The Patriots are 13-3 playing for the #1 seed, and we have a rookie QB who has made two NFL starts after just 2 weeks of practice with the starters after being the emergency QB most of the season. QB Drake Maye has put up some very nice numbers this year although the Patriots schedule was an easy one. Despite that though, Vrabel has done what he was hired to do, win the games on the schedule, and they have won 13 of 16. The Dolphins played a very similar schedule and we stand at 7-9, so be careful throwing stones from glass houses.
I like what our rookie QB Quinn Ewers has shown us so far. The game didn’t look like too much for him, and the team has responded well with him at the helm. He looks like he has some moxie, and compared to the the wet noodle Tua, that’s a lot. There was definitely an energy last week as the Dolphins were playing a team who need the win to control their playoff destiny, and while the Bucs have been up and down this season, I think they’re the better team, but not this past Sunday. WE ran the ball well enough between Achane and Wright and just asked QB Quinn Ewers to give us just enough and he delivered on that. We will probably need a similar game plan to upset the Patriots Sunday. Waddle was in and out of the game with nagging injuries and that leaves WR’s Malik Washington, WR Theo Wease, WR Cedrick Wilson Jr., along with TE’s Julian Hill, Greg Dulcich and sometimes used Darren Waller. As far as I’m concerned, I’d skip the Darren Waller experiment next season. He’s exciting when he’s in there and we use him, but I’m tired of him disappearing for long stretches where he’s not in the game. Find someone who can play without restrictions! I hope we don’t burn out Achane in this one, I wouldn’t be shocked if we put a lot on his plate Sunday. He’s the one guy in this offense that always make things happen. The Patriots leaned hard on the run game with rookie TreVVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson last week and I’d expect more of that this week. We’ll see how stout or young D-line can be, but we know we’ll get quality linebacking from Brooks and Dodson.
While S Minkah Fitzpatrick was held out of practice along with RB De’Von Achane, LB Jordyn Brooks and TE Darren Waller, that doesn’t mean they aren’t playing. I’d say 3 of the 4 are definitely playing with the exception of Minkah. How much they play is a different story. This game doesn’t mean a whole lot to the Dolphins, but for Head Coach Mike McDaniel who is likely auditioning for a job elsewhere, and for the players too, it means a lot. I’d expect a good effort, and I hope that first and foremost we come out healthy from this game, and maybe this team gives us a surprise upset win, and believe you me, this would be a huge upset. Let’s hope we have a good game, and #14 Quinn Ewers shows us a little something special Sunday afternoon.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Chiefs got the ball back in Raiders territory with 2 min left. In FG range down 2!
FG good!
The Eagles rested Hurts?!
The Bears lost, so if the Eagles win they’d get the Panthers. Instead they are likely going to lose and play the Niners.
Oh, nvmd, Panthers won their division
So it’s the Niners or Packers
Come on Chiefs
Why did KC call a timeout? To give the Raiders more of a chance as the Raiders are out of timeouts. WTF
You have got to be shitting me. A 60 yarder. OMG
Ewers DID get hurt. He went OUT with a knee injury. Hope it wasn’t serious
That sucks! Fucking Jonah!
Well, pick #11 it is. lol
Beer!
To YOU!
Rain check, I gotta get ready for work. lol
Have a good one, my guy!
We officially draft @ R1P11
And it’s also officially official: the so-called ‘football gods’ DESPISE our Miami Dolphins.
What an awful outcome, all the way around for us, in week 18.
This organization, or disorganization can’t do anything right!
Nor could the Bengals, Saints, or Chiefs! Mathematically speaking, that was a YUGE anomaly to have happen.
I SWEAR there’s a curse on our franchise.
Especially when the Browns win 20-18 with no offensive TD’s.
Raiders win on a 60 yard FG.
Mike E.

Well, look at the bright side. If you wanted a game to help make the decision as to whether to keep Mike McDaniel on as Head Coach, this game should surely spell his doom
Second half should have sealed his fate for sure
Saints lose by 2, Bengals lose by 2 and Chiefs lose by 2. Come on, I mean really?
M13, I believe the curse! lol
We obviously been cursed. 😢
25 years and counting
Also, Texans won and dropped our 3rd from them to #91. Eagles did lose though but it didn’t improve our 3rd from them. It just stayed at #87.
The Jest are the first team in NFL history with no interception takeaways throughout the whole season.
Our record is not tied with anyone so tonight’s game won’t affect anything.
Our 2026 draft picks are: 11, 43, 75, 87, 91, 111, 149, 227. That is with projected comp picks factored in. Dolphins have no comp picks, I think due to Ifeatu Melifonwu’s snap count. I think it cost us a potential 4th or 5th round comp.
Aren’t the Texans and Eagles picks going to be determined by where they end in the playoffs?
Dammit! Yeah, let’s hope they lose.
This is the first playoffs I can remember in a long time where I think most of the teams have a shot and there is no one standout team that is just head and shoulders ahead of everyone else.
So I could see both of those teams losing next week…or getting to the Super Bowl, lol.
it’s crazy we haven’t won’t a playoff game in 25 years. This organization blows.
One of the worst organizations in sports.
Wow, I hadn’t realized the TJ Watt collapsed lung injury was due to a treatment he was receiving at the team facility.
dry needling
Refs clearly in the Steelers pocket after just 2 plays
Awful call. Thankfully it didn’t affect the outcome of the drive.
I just wish there was a way both of these teams could lose and miss the playoffs.
Ramsey gets burned for the TD
Falcons already fired Raheem Morris
I hope we will hire a gm and he can decide whether to keep or trash McD. Now hopefully he turfs his ass , but if he thinks he can work with and win with .. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Miami was outscored 81-0 in the third quarter of its last nine games of the 2025 regular season.
Our last points in the 3rd quarter came on October fucking 26th
That’s on both MM and Weaver
If that isn’t an indictment on the coaching, I’m not sure anything ever could be.
On Sunday, Bradley Chubb missed out on more than $5 million in incentive pay.
Chubb was set to receive $3.025 million in playtime incentives and $2.125 million for recording 8.5 sacks. But only if the Dolphins finished No. 20 in points allowed.
By allowing 38 points Sunday, Miami slid from No. 21 in the defensive rankings to No. 24. If the Dolphins held the Patriots to 26 points or fewer, they would’ve passed the Colts and finished No. 20.
Linebacker Jordyn Brooks and cornerback Rasul Douglas also missed out on incentives because the Dolphins weren’t top 20 this season.
Brooks would’ve received $1 million for playing in over 85 percent of Miami’s defensive snaps and Douglas would’ve received $250,000 for playing on over 76 percent.
Well, that’s a plus. lol
I have said this before, trade down and draft LT Kadyn Proctor and move him in to play LG.
Tomlin firing up his players. You’ll never see that from MM.
Guess, it didn’t work. lol
Ramsey again victimized
Ramsey let everyone run by him. This loss could be on him as he got burned earlier. He looked totally lost on that play.
🍻
I think that was more on Samuel
This game has gotten crazy
Steelers going to lose due to missed extra point. I am happy about it. I hate both teams but don’t want to see Ramsey make it to the post season.
Can’t believe Jackson didn’t get that throw to Hopkins
I know
Ramsey had the chance to knock that ball out.
Oh shit!!
Fucking kickers
Omg
That’s okay, I hate the Ravens just as much.
Loop choked
I really hate Rodgers …. I have respect for Ravens .. oh well. Go Texans lol
I was just saying the same thing- I hate Rodgers
We need Texans to lose to improve that 3rd round pick. I will take the higher pick over who I hate most. Actually, I personally hate the Texans more. I went to a Dolphins game in Houston and got harassed the entire game by Texans fans. Almost ended up in a fight. Dude was hitting my son in the back of his head with one of their white towels the whole 1st quarter. I snagged it and tossed 20 rows down to the next level. Several of them continued to be belligerent assholes the rest of the game.
That said, Rodgers is going to get killed by that Texans pass rush.
Sounds like my Foxborough experience.. mind you I was dressed to draw attention 🤷♂️
Last nights game should have (a long time ago, imo) provided the rest of the rope for MM’s demise.
I missed the first half getting stuck in PR, but the Ist drive of the 3rd quarter revealed all the same mistakes I saw for 17 games this year.
Enough is enough!
It’s an undisciplined and soft team, and not one that will ever go anywhere with and undisciplined, soft coach. Look in the fucking mirror…lol.
Mike McDaniel isn’t a rookie Head Coach, this was year 4 for McDaniel. Not being able to score a point in the 3rd quarter for over 2 months in a season and overall, being outscored 130-27 in the 3rd quarter of games HAS TO GET MIKE MCDANIEL FIRED!!!!!!
Think about it. The Head Coach knows it’s a problem, it’s been happening all season long, and despite that, he can’t do a single thing to correct it. How on earth do you bring that same person back? You would think it would have been a priority, we can’t score in the 3rd quarter. It’s not an anomaly, it’s just an out and out FAILURE.
FIRE Mike McDaniel!!! Do it now! NOW!!!!
This team’s been cursed ever since they decided to spit on the legacy of Jake Scott. Get that Marino stink out of our building so we can start winning Super Bowls again. Laces out haha

No curse….just bad leadership which leads to constant half measures made for bad reasons.
BBM,
So, you’ve ditched Dunker for some new, pretty arm candy, eh? I’ll let him know! Lol
here are the interviews we requested so far to fill Griers job
I have been mentioning Halaby.
here are the current HC vacancies
Head coach vacancies
I must have missed the Pete Carroll firing.
BBM’s No Trade Mock Draft After Resigning Jack Jones, Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill
11. David Bailey EDGE Texas Tech
43. Max Iheanachor OT Arizona State
75. D’Angelo Ponds CB Indiana
85. Lee Hunter DT Texas Tech
91. Keylan Rutledge OG Georgia Tech
111. Dani Dennis-Sutton EDGE Penn State
151. Wydett Williams Jr. S Ole Miss
225. Haynes King QB Georgia Tech
Then sign UDFA’s: Jack Strand QB Minnesota State Morehead, Boubacar Traore EDGE Notre Dame, Daniel Wingate ILB Maryland, Adon Shuler, S Notre Dame, Thaddeus Dixon CB North Carolina, Kaelon Black RB Indiana, Reggie Virgil WR Texas Tech, Riley Nowakowski FB/TE Indiana, Pat Coogan C Indiana, Ethan Onianwa OG Ohio State and Diego Pounds OT Ole Miss.
the Raiders firing Carroll after 1 season is kind of a surprise
If MM hasn’t been fired already, does that mean he’s staying?
Maybe they are waiting so they can use it as test question while interviewing GM’s. Should we fire MM?
If any of them say no or even hesitate, that’s not the guy. lol
Randy, no. I feel #44 might be too early on Dunker but every time I get to #75 I just miss him by 3-5 picks. Then, I have to settle Tiernan (who I like) or hit the reset icon and start over.
So I have been going with 2 other RT’s who rank a little higher than Dunker in Blake Miller or Max Iheanachor.
Hey! Where’d my comment go?!!?
BBM,
It got deleted, but I’d draft Dunker as a guard. I don’t think he has much value as a OT. I throw him at RT and see if he can do it, but with the idea he’s probably moving inside.
As I mentioned last year, Jones is probably Iowa’s best OL. I’d probably take him over Dunker, but I don’t see us drafting a center.
you have a comment at 12:02 about Dunker not sure if that’s the one you thought was deleted
I’ve had a lot of issues with WordPress deleting what I said before it was posted (technically not deleting more like erasing)
it’s usually bc I tried to hit the back button or something
Randy
Im pretty sure MM fate will be Dreamtime’s by whomever the new GM is. I don’t think he’s safe
I just recently linked up with a long lost cousin from Minnesota who’s a football junkie. He told me to check out this Jack Strand from Minnesota State Morehead. Some sites say 6’4 220 and others say 6’5 240. I added him to my UDFA list. He had (11 games) 3546 yards, 42 TD’s, 14 INT’s and 5 rushing TD’s. He doesn’t seem like he has a set throwing motion. Sometimes it’s sidearm, others 3/4 and overhand. He can make all the throws with some zip. He will take a lot of work making a jump to the NFL but arm talent is there and he can run.
just curious to know what you guys think of hiring Pete Carroll after he was fired by the raiders in the event we fire MM
he is a veteran NFL coach
his time with Seattle was very good
he was actually pretty good with New England before they fired him afte 3 years and hired Belicheat too
he was successful with USC – but left with quite the controversy
he was the HC of the jests when Marino did the fake spike though
he’s 74
Pass
passed retirement age. He should retire.
NOBODY OVER 60!!
piggy,
No worries. I wasn’t bitching. Lol
WordPress has been a pain in the ass. Again, thanks to whomever manages this thing. Props! I appreciate the effort!
Wouldn’t you have a better shot at getting a good GM if he wasn’t tied to MM? Or will guys in that spot just take any GM job?
I think the idea is the new GM can make the decision on MM
does he want him or not
but on the other hand if Ross is committed to MM for 2026 – I doubt GM candidates love that they don’t get a say
I sometimes post an incomplete post
and go back and edit it after bc WordPress won’t let me use the back button while I am posting
wordpress is wild
Dunker is a good a run blocker and I thought decent enough at pass pro. RG may be better for him. I don’t know. Jones might be the top center in the draft. It depends on what site you look at. They have Jones ranked all over.
asked if he would welcome a fresh start with a new team:
“That would be dope. I would be good with it.”Tua Tagovailoa
Well give up $100 million and we’ll make it happen day one of the new league year!!
Eric McAlister is one of the big WR’s I like early day 3. The simulator had him available in the 6th and both PFF and Draftbuzz have him as a 6th. I don’t think he lasts past the 4th. He’s 6’3, 205 and runs in the mid 4.4’s, good route runner and blocker. He’s a 1st down machine where in the 2024 season 35 of his 39 receptions went for a 1st down. Last season, not sure of the 1st down #’s but he had 72 rec for 1190 and 10 TD’s.
So I read an article that eluded to Ross wanting to keep McDaniel UNLESS Kevin Stefanski or John Harbaugh became available. Stefanski is a 45-56 loser why would we want him? OK, he got “coach of the year” twice (2020, 2023) but WHY? 11-6 is a good record but not fantastic enough to keep his job.
Now that Stefanski has been rightful fired from the Browns, why would the Dolphins want to sign him?
meanwhile….Ian Rapoport is reporting that McDaniel will be back
I have not updated my avi yet because there are roaches in the building that still need to be removed. #1 being McCapri Pants!
Falcons have requested permission to interview Anthony Weaver. Let them have him!
CLEAN SLATE!! BURN IT ALL DOWN!
2027 COMP PICK!! Sign him!
AND 2028 3rd round too!
PFF chose the most impactful rookie for each team based upon their grading system.
Miami Dolphins: RB Ollie Gordon II (Round 6, No. 179 Overall)
It was a rather disastrous year for the Dolphins’ rookie class. Gordon was the lone member of eight qualifiers to play 100 or more snaps and record a 60.0-plus PFF overall grade.
When Miami’s crowded backfield didn’t hold him back, Gordon tended to produce. He averaged more than 4.2 yards per carry and earned a 70.0-plus PFF rushing grade in three games of the four games in which he logged at least nine carries. In all other games, he provided a combined 1.7 yards per rush.
Depending on how you look at it, Jonah had the most impactful rookie season. He started every game and sucked ass. That’s more impactful to the team more than any other rookie.
LOL The article implied POSITIVE impact.
I would venture to bet that flabbianiea directly fucked up more plays that any other player this season.
The Dolphins brought in a bunch of unsigned players last week to evaluate and see who they want to give futures contracts to be on the 2026 90 man roster. Don’t know the names other than former Gators WR Elijhah Badger, 6’1, 200, 4.43. He was in the Chiefs camp this season.
Though, Dolphins have not reported any futures contracts/signings yet. A few teams have signed a bunch today.
Team and numbers of signings reported already: Bengals-19 players, Colts-16 players, Commanders-11 players, Falcons-7 players, Lions-9 players and Titans-11 players. I think some were their own practice squad players.
I’d still say Grant was probably our rookie of the season. He started out slow but came on strong. We’ll see where he goes from here. People always focus on offense. Gordon had a good rookie season, but I don’t see how it was more impactful than a guy who played a lot more snaps at a much tougher position to step into as a rookie.
Both of our young DL had good rookie seasons. If they can continue to improve, that’s a good foundation. We need to find the same opposite them on the LOS.
I think so too. I think Grant, Phillips and Biggers all had a more positive impact that Gordon
Marshal and Trader weren’t bad either given their draft position. Trader looks like he has a bright future
and of course ewers was our starting g QB when the season ended
jonah was the worst performer this year. His poor performance sort of soured and otherwise productive draft
We can probably draft heavy on the OL in 2026
I really don’t know where to start this year. I think we need a WR, DBs, a TE, QB, and OL
but it looks like we have several picks in the top 100. We can even trade down from 11 which, unless a QB falls in our lap, we should consider
Okay, 1 more:
BBM’s Randy Redo Mock Draft (traded down, up and sideways)
24. Kadyn Proctor OT Alabama (move to LG)
29. Blake Miller OT Clemson (future RT)
55. D’Angelo Ponds CB Indiana
61. Chris Brazzell II WR Tennessee
75. Gennings Dunker OT Iowa (future RG)
93. Dani Dennis-Sutton EDGE Penn State
111. Zakee Wheatley S Penn State
122. Aiden Fisher LB Indiana
151. Tanner Koziol TE Houston
161. Sawyer Robertson QB Baylor
218. Derrick Moore EDGE Michigan
225. Collin Wright CB Stanford
226. Aaron Graves DT Iowa
2027 CHI 3rd
2027 draft plan to follow is trade our 1st and Waddle to move up and draft WR Jeremiah Smith.
McDaniel back for the 2026 season
will have “significant role in GM search”
Huh?
Fuck, thanks for shitting on my mock draft frenzy. lol
I don’t think you fire MM now as that is the GM’s job and Champ may not have the authority to make that call. Great!
Let MM do his post-season evaluations, clean up whatever 2025 duties for players you need to do (for the next GM) and go from there.
The new GM is cleaning house….imo
When asked about his job security, the fourth-year coach said it’s “my understanding I’m the coach of the Miami Dolphins until told otherwise,” and added that he’ll speak with team owner Stephen Ross about how to move forward successfully.
Which is exactly my point…lol
“A source told ESPN the team believed in McDaniel throughout the Dolphins’ struggles and suggested their issues were quarterback-related.”
I missed most of Ewers games. I was wondering, did we have the wasted timeout issue when Ewers was playing or was that just a MM/Tua thing?
Just a Tua/MM thing. Had no clock issues with Ewers
Thanks!
Porous sources…clickbait…
It seems Ross may have wised-the-fuck up.
We shall see.
I don’t see where Ross is wising up.
MM is staying AND is going to be involved deciding who the next GM is who could eventually fire him.
Seems bassackwards to me. Am I missing something?
It’s the GM’s job to hire and fire the coach, NOT the owner.
Mr. Ross, let your VP of football operations do his fucking job!
I wish the fans could vote on one other individual to represent us to join the think tank on the new GM hire. Let the fans have some input.
I vote ROCK!
Well, NO NEWS IS NOT GOOD NEWS. It’s clear that Ross will not fire Mike, so either they’re going to hire a GM with the condition that Mike McDaniel is the Head Coach (FAIL!!) , or they’re going to find a GM and let him assess the situation and decide whether he wants to keep McDaniel or hire his own guy (UNLIKELY). If McDaniel is back either way I think we’re screwed.
I figured McDaniel hadn’t been fired, when I logged on and the blog hadn’t changed.
I think until there’s an official announcement — one way or the other — our HC position is still up in the air.
We have yet to hear that Capri McD will remain our HC for the ’26 season, just as we have yet to hear that Capri McD has been relieved of his duties.
We also have yet to hear if the Ravens are going to retain or fire John Harbaugh… and we all know Steve Ross loves him some Harbaugh’s.
IMO, Ross is patiently keeping every option open… but I’ve gotta say by looking at it from the outside, it looks like McD could be retained.
And IF McD IS retained? Nothing espouses trust like waiting for a Harbaugh to fall out of a tree… and if he doesn’t fall out, then I guess we’ll keep McD after all.
Maybe Ross feels he could not get a good HC to come into this dysfunctional team and feels stuck with MM.
That’s certainly a possibility. And there’s also the possibility that McD is on a downward trajectory and by retaining him, we could inadvertently tank the ’26 season.
’27 sure looks like a good year to draft a franchise QB.
Looks like Tom Brady wants both Flores and Daboll. Flores would have to get a promotion or is his contract up? If not, that would have to put Flores as HC and Daboll as OC. Flores as Raiders HC would make Max Crosby happy again.
Which QB would Flores want or would he get a say? lol
I just hate we will be stuck with the same MM playbook. When watching Ryder’s video today on Ewers I saw that one play where he got sacked. On a 3rd and long, option 1 was a screen to the right putting 4 receivers over there. The only other option, option 2, was a slant from the other side but it was covered up. Ewers had to pull the ball down and try to scramble due to bad OL and had nowhere to go. I was thinking to myself that was a shitty play design.
The way Ewers glances over at Gordon then quickly turns to the slant, it looks like the slant was option 1 and that was the only option as the other 4 receivers were jumbled up over to the right doing nothing. Should Ewers have just thrown the screen or was that a shitty play design to begin with?
Posting the video at the mark of the play:
You and I are conductors of the Kurt Warner (OC) Express! I would love to see Kurt break this game down, as he does so very well.
As a matter of fact, I’m going to tweet him my request right now.
Yes… Capri McD’s play-designs are really poor, IMO. Just remember, his background is running-game coordinator.
@MF13SS
@kurt13warner, I would very much like to see you do a breakdown of Quinn Ewers vs the Patriots from this past Sunday. Could he have done better, or was he handcuffed by the play-calling? Please and thanks in advance, Kurt!
