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.
Tannehill needs to get with his receivers and dominate those guys on the practice team. That's how you handle that bunch. Do you think Manning or Brady would take that crap. I don't care what screwball let the story out. It was ok when stories got out on Wallace or some player who was not popular but we see what secrets were held back on that nutcase Incog now we see Tanne getting moist because a story got leaked out on him. Grow up and learn and execute the plays with your receivers show the practice team players why they are on the practice team. If you are a big boy play like one.
Its a new sheriff in town new rules no golden boys unless you are making gold.
Hmmm ok They actually run pretty good on the right side. Pounce, James and Douglas appears to get down field and find defenders. They need to find plays to fit what the linemen do well. Pouncey seems to favor doing things on the right side(blocking pulling). He needs to learn to do the same on the left as well as call defensive. I still swear he just points at the same spot when he comes up to the ball he never points out the blitzer.
I have a strong feeling DC will NOT be as patient (stubborn) as Philbin in regards to benching Thomas. If he chokes, he will get benched. No more MR. Nice Guy....finally.

If they don't get Miller started....I would take a chance on Trent Richardson. Buffalo turned him away, and I think he's over here in Pensacola awaiting his last chance in the NFL. With a little motivation which Campbell can provide he might be the spark to our running game we need.
No way Trent Richardson been a big disappointment I liked the guy in college but talking about getting a paycheck and playing like he's fat and satisfied.

Grow up and playball Tanne. As I said it was ok when the locker room
talk got out on others but now he is acting like cry baby when its him. The more he talks about this issue the more press it will get. Shut up and produce.

Looks like philbin didnt had a clue and neither did tannehill....
How could you want a defense to play softer in practice...??? LMAO
So you can make believe you are a good QB and conncting with receivers on and on.
LMAO....This whole team is clueless. No wonder they all stink so bad.
The final walk through is for the offense to work on the game plan one last time. it's not full speed and the d is told to relax because they've seen the plays all week. That's common practice for the final walk through.
No one respected Philbin. They knew there would be no discipline and did what they wanted.
Just doesn't make any sense to me either. I mean I can understand no contact or hitting without pads etc or even with pads. No contact I can understand but "no jumping the routes"/?????
Any preview of adversity can only help you by providing you with education and experience. After it happens you should ask yourself how to counter it in real game or at the least be aware.

No jumping routes because the defense knows exactly what play the offense is going to run.They are also going at half speed. They run a play, the coach doesn't like it, so he says run it again.. The defender goes, ok my guy is going to run a quick out and he is going half speed, so I just jump in front of it a little faster then half speed and act like an ass..What does that prove or help.. It is just disruptive... My 4 foot tall 6 year old son could jump a route with that information and the offense going half speed...

The defense knew what play was being run because Philbin said, out loud, to run it again. So naturally the DB knows who RT will be throwing the ball to. The coaching staff said to knock it off (to the DBs).
The offense is working on their timing, which is why they had to run the same play again. The D is supposed to be in the area but don't disrupt the play. Let the O get it right.
Kinda hard to get it right if the D knows exactly what the O is running.
That is completely different from normal plays being run. The offense calls the play in the huddle and the defense doesn't know what play is coming. No one, including RT, has a problem with a DB intercepting the pass. It's when the D knows what is coming and is trying to make a name for himself/themselves, that upsets people.
Philbin's words (that was reported) was either taken out of context or maybe he did say it like that, which is on him, and another reason he is no longer coaching.

Geez, I'm really surprised at the comments towards RT on this board.
The guy has been on the Fins for three years (this being his fourth) and has never said a word. Now he voices his opinion that this should have stayed in the locker room (in which I agree) and he gets blasted.

I think what I read was the definition of a walk-through. What I believe happened was a simple miss-direction, or loud enough activity in one area causing everyone to look, say "left"; while to the "right" the Patriots had enough time to deploy their cameras & film our defensive practice squad who were obviously playing faster than the Official Flag-Football Organization of America rules dictate(The Organization's popularity is mostly known by it's acronym = Miami Dolphins).
This occurrence was avoidable, or easily resolved at the first hint of running defenders. Simply place a stationary object in the background of the defensive practice squad, e.g. Cameron Wake. If TANN is able to pick-up on the difference of relative motion between his WRs & the DBs he simply informs HC-Philbin, or DC-Coyle that the practice squad is cheating, and the news suddenly changes to = "Tom Brady pays the N.E. Patriot defensive practice squad to cheat!"
Unfortunately, that wouldn't be considered news.
"Geez, I'm really surprised at the comments towards RT on this board. "
I have been supportive of Tanne thru all 3 years but right now its time for him to ante up. More on the practice incident and it looks like he initiated it all. Like I said before he should be dominating the db's on the practice squad not crying when they intercept his passes.
JoeFootball,
No idea if I was at the thought of your "walk thru" understanding? I do know, have walked thru too many.
My fictional comment was kind of a metaphor to the craziness we all have experienced since DAY 1 of this season.
You have to admit, other than "bully gate"......? Ya' know what, scratch that! R Williams quiting; Nick Saban quiting; Cameron drafting OSU WR; Ross interviewing Harbaugh while Tony Sparano, almost wrote Saprano, was still HC; And how much am I leaving out? Do other NFL teams have these dramatic/major events occur year-in & year-out?
I didn't mean to anger anyone if I did. Was completely making a fictional story that already had the main events set. Trying to make myself laugh & not take it so hard.
Did ANYONE see an article concerning the problem with Philly/ or more directly Sam Bradford? One of the coaches wrote a report/thesis/something stating that Sam would be fine or a much better QB if he added 20 lbs. to his derriere, the glutes basically! Not joking.
Says: would improve his accuracy but more importantly it would prevent his continual injuries.
