General Discussion / Re: Dolphins defense is playing respectable
« on: March 04, 2014, 03:16:49 pm »
It turned out the Dolphins had a respectable season on D and the secondary was the leaset of their problems.  Their problems remain on offense and a general inability to put up a consistant 24 pt average on the board.  This has been the case for the past decade.  We'll see if Tannehill is the answer, but I'm not expecting much from yet another change in offense with Lazor as OC.  He can't be any worse than Sherman.  Or can he?

I never got a contact name for Verm.  It's a stretch to just assume he's passed away.  If that were the case then so has 95% of the posters on the board?   What was the last year he played in HeMan or Skirt?  I do recall a player that just quit during the season not sure if it was Verm? Seems like it was Fake Spike.

I like the Aqua colors going back to the team roots rather than the teal but I prefer the old logo.  We'll have to see it as a whole with the uniform on draft day.  Speaking of draft, are we having a Heman and Skirt draft this year.

Rex is a big blowhard.  Getting down to the level of the players and addressing the opponent directly is so unprofessional.  I like what Cam Wake tweeted after the game. Talk is cheap walking is expensive

The Dolphins got the win against a below average banged up Jets team.  This team is stacked on D and it will be expensive to keep Solai and Starks, Smith and Burnett and all the other FA.  I think Long gets his walking papers.  The time to win is now.

We'll see against a bad Jets team this week how good the Phins are.  It's still a division rival on the road so no matter how bad the Jets are (they put up 26 pts last week) if we win, I'm all in on this team and that includes Ireland.

oh well.  At least I got in on the first round.  It could have been worse.  Thanks for trying to reach me PB.  And Thanks for the mention Ozzy and for thinkin about me before picking.

Pizza Boy left a message on my facebook?  What up with that ???

I agree Sparano was a clown.  He tried way too hard and didn't accomplish much.  When you have to put that much effort into something, and get that little result out of it, it should tell you you're not qualified.

This year, our OL coach is Jim Turner former OL coach for Texas A&M.  Last year the Aggies gave up the fewest sacks in the nation and they ranked 21st in rushing.

I'm cautiously optimistic but the right side of the line is a big ???  Lydon Murtha at right tackle would be an epic fail.  I'm hoping Johnathan Martin can come up to speed quickly while Artic Hicks who hasn't played since 2006 and John Jerry vye for the right tackle spot.

Reggie didn't attend the May 29th Camp.  Armando the clown blogged about it.

## Besides Garrard, Reggie Bush also was missing from the voluntary practice, and Joe Philbin refused to discuss it. Bush mentioned on his twitter account on Monday that "Vegas is the Devil," which suggests what he was doing over Labor Day weekend.

### Daniel Thomas opened with the first team in Bush's absence, but Steve Slaton got a lot of work. There weren't many holes for either. Paul Soliai completely swallowed up Slaton on one play. Asked about Thomas, Philbin said he likes his size but then suggested he needs to do a better job in blitz pickup. Thomas was responsible for at least one sack last year.

I had high hopes for Daniel Thomas after watching him his first two games, but now with the Lamar Miller selection, we have a pretty crowded backfield and if things don't turn around for the Dolphins, Thomas could start to move toward the bust column.  Then you hear of Reggie Bush missing camp and tweeting that Las Vegas is the devil.  The Dolphins come to the season ill prepared and with shoddy execution on the field.  With Shula, JJ and even the 1st year for Parcells we were the kings of Sept and Oct now with no discipline in upper management, we're (Ireland) chumps early on.  By the time they get their heads on straight they're usually well below .500. 

So Philbin and his Dolphins offensive staff have been charged with extracting more from the young players, including three that Ireland coveted in last year’s draft and are key to his vision for the offense: Daniel Thomas, Clyde Gates and Charles Clay. Thomas and Gates exited their rookie seasons with more questions than answers.

Thomas managed just a 3.5 per carry average – 59th among 67 qualifying backs - and now faces competition from Lamar Miller for playing time behind Reggie Bush.

“I can’t worry about who they’re drafting,” Thomas said of Miller. “I know I’ve gotten better. The injuries affected me a lot last year. They messed my mind up. I lost the confidence I had. I didn’t have the same burst I had earlier” when he ran for 107 and 95 yards in his first two games. (He ran for just 379 in the 11 others.)

Thomas said his 3.5 average (including 2.9 in the fourth quarter) is unacceptable and “very disappointing,” adding, “I think I can average 5.0 a carry in this league.”

Also troubling: his 1.9 yards-per-carry average after contact – fifth-worst among NFL backs. That’s one reason he added seven pounds, to 235. “I wanted to get stronger because I lost some of the leg drive I had early on. I was stopped on first contact and that’s not me.”

Thomas, who averaged 5.2 per carry in two years at Kansas State, is encouraged because “our offense is doing a lot more zone running, and we ran well last year when we zoned. That’s something I did in college a lot.”

Thomas was the fifth back drafted (62nd overall) after Mark Ingram (3.9 average), Shane Vereen (just 57 yards) and Ryan Williams and Mikel Leshoure (both injured reserve). What’s worrisome is the sixth back taken - Dallas’ DeMarco Murray, nine spots after Thomas – was far better than Thomas (897 yards, 5.5 average). And Thomas’ per-carry average trailed that of the seventh back (Stevan Ridley at 5.1), the ninth (Roy Helu, 4.2) and 10th (Kendall Hunter, 4.2), though all had fewer carries.

I agree.  The Colts my have not obviously tanked, but the coaches went with no game plan.  Ross was too stupid to fire Sparano and tell the head coach to not game plan.

Ireland and coach Joe Philbin spoke of the plan for Tannehill, a plan no one knows exactly right now. In his office Friday afternoon, Philbin pointed to the practice fields outside and said: "Out there is where we're going to find out about Ryan Tannehill, Matt Moore and David Garrard. I don't remember a master plan that said, 'Here's when Ryan's going to play.' If there is one, I was never told about it. We'll let them come to work, and the best man will win.''

Matt Moore (6-3) put us in this mess when we were on pace for Luck or RGIII and Matt Moore better get us out of the mess.  I can really see him doing well in the WCO.

Our odds to make the Super Bowl shot up to the top 8 when it looked like we were going to get Manning.  I don't think Philbin wants Manning though.

Moore played really smart.  That spin move really worked for him several times.  When he ran out of the pocket, he was smart and didn't run right into linemen.
