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.
Okay fellow fans and friends, I have stated all along cutler is not the problem, the line and gase are the problem. This team is just a damn disaster and for all the ajayi fans... you better get off that wagon, I have had debates about his ability and If you think 2yrds per carry is good, I am missing something. I think its time this team tanks and gets the 3rd pick ONLY if they fire Grier so we could get a real player. Harris???? is he even playing anymore, and Landry is nowhere near 14mill. Trade him now so you can get a pick. I know Moore sucks, atleast my opinion where many have screamed for him to start, but Landry looked lost tonight. Tunsil should just go smoke a joint for christs sake. Thank god we dont need a punter.
With Parker and Cutler out, they knew all they ahad to do was stop Ayaji last night and they did. There is no one on this team (hurt or playing) with enough talent and heart to get it done when the other team is expecting it. We have assembled a mediocre team that is just BARELY competitive IF and WHEN they are all healthy and playing well. There is just no room for error 'cause nobody is gonna pick up any slack.
Their defensive line is their (Ravens) business card. It is so much the best part of their team, it is not only the best part of their team, it is their business card.
So if you are the Ravens and the Dolphins are upcoming, you say, we used our defensive line to FIRST shut down Ajayi and then when the Dolphins turn to the pass, let loose.

Well, Sam, have to agree with you: the OL is a problem, a MAJOR problem. Some here are saying Ajayi is not good. Hell, if he is getting hit almost the same time he is taking the handoff, I don't care who the RB is, he is going down! Ajayi is not the problem.
Almost all the OL that is on the field right now is the same one that was opening the holes last year for Ajayi to run through. what the hell happened?
I'm not that impressed with our defense either. Our backfield is having a serious problem covering. Our DLine isn't get a good rush on the QB. Suh is getting constant double teamed, so that leaves the other guys to get to the QB...not happening.
Lastly...Gase needs to get those screens and quick passes behind the line of scrimmage out of his playbook. I have yet to see a gain of more than five yards this season.
It has been reported that Gase, every week, has scaled down the playbook because the guys just can't get it. The majority of the players have been with Gase since he arrived. Tells me something.

The problem, Chryen, is that the Ravens' defense, until last night, was one of the worst in the league. I believe they were giving up an average of 131 rushing yards per game.
Well, last year it was. Maybe the first 6 games were not representative of what's going to be a 16 game season. Maybe the 7 game will bring the Ravens Defense back to what it was.....or maybe we just suck.

I have left off, in some instances where the player was drafted by another team and then traded to us.
