This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
But be careful. The rules for getting in the playoffs are different than the rules for picking ahead in the draft.
I remember that last year, we had the same record as a team either that we beat or that beat us but the team that won the game had to pick after the other team.

Some writer made mention last week that the reason Egnew is inactive is he doesn't help on special teams. They say he's improved on offense but not enough to start so the don't keep him active over reserves who do play a role on special teams.
Strength of schedule for the previous season is the first tie-breaker for teams with the same winning percentage. The team with the lowest strength of schedule percentage wins the tiebreaker and picks ahead of all other teams with the same record.
Divisional and conference records are the next step in the tie-breaking procedure.
As a last resort, a coin toss is used to determine the order of selection for teams with the same winning percentage.
That sounds like it eesti. That's why we picked ahead of that other team. Strength of schedule. At the time when I realized it, I said it didn't make sense because Head to head should be the test with the loser picking first.
But I guess in the NFL's wacky way, like that "if you throw a review flag on an automatically reviewable play it will become unreviewable," it makes sense to the rule-makers of the NFL.
I can see it if the teams don't play each other but if they play each other, that should be the test of the best team unless there is a third or more team with the same record.
I totally understand doing that while there is a point to the season.
At this point....the only point to this last 4 games? Develop and Evaluate for next year.
I am sure they can afford to activate him despite his non-ST status. It might strain things a little, but IMO...getting the kid in the game during regular season is crucial for his development. They sent the message in camp...they sent the message all season....now give him a taste of full speed NFL play...see what he can do...whet his appetite and desire for more.
