We don't have a starting caliber LT on the roster. That's going to be a problem. He went from rebuild to win now mode trading for Hill. Our 2022 draft, who should be contributing or "making the leap" this year, was a complete bust. We got hill and absolutely nothing else. That's what bad franchises do. He's also responsible for the past 2 HCs. He called Flores his signature

They addressed the trenches. Wish they would have added more at OL. Nothing changes for the team until the fix that. On paper it looks pretty thin. What I took for the draft is trading our 4th for a 3rd next year. That's a move made by a GM whose job is safe. If/when things go south, McD will be immediately thrown under the bus and Grier will be in charge of hiring yet another coach and o

I really hope the plan on adding 2 vet Olinemen after 6/1 when the comp pick formula ends. They can't seriously think going into the season with no LT is wise with our 1 hit away from the funny farm QB. And I thought the exact same thing as Jeremiah when we traded that pick. Grier isn't going anywhere. That's a shame.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Grant is good and a solit pick. Surprised by Simmons and Jackson from tOSU going so high. Simmons was the best LT in this draft had it not been for his late season knee injury. Kind of expected Grier to take him based on that. They really need to upgrade the OL with the 2nd pick.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

They can deny it all they want but these moves they're making scream rebuild again. Ramsey was made the highest paid DB last year now you want to trade him? This is a rudderless ship and I would be thrilled if they fired Grier and the entire scouting department immediately after the draft. He's had plenty of time. Just think if Tindall and Cam Smith were ready to fill some of these holes.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Someone said it. They have needs at multiple positions. Whomever they take at 13 will be for a need. I'd prefer a CB or S at 13 then a G in the 2nd. If they take a WR or QB before the 6th they're fools.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

He's nothing more than a bridge QB when they clean house and blow things up next season. There's absolutely nothing to be excited about a developmental backup QB. He's on his 3rd team for a reason. We don't have the luxury to develop a #2 when our starter is an injury waiting to happen.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Can't fire the owner so I'll say Grier. And if you say McBeta then indirectly you're blaming Grier. He was entrusted with this rebuild AND hiring the coach. His first one actually stood up to him and his personnel decisions and was promptly thrown under the bus. His second hire was brought in to "fix" Tua. He's done a fine job with that but has done a bad job coaching the entire t

What Fins72 said. I'll add a slew of picks and the most cap room in the league to start the rebuild in 2020. We drafted Tua at 5. Good stats, not built for NFL hits. Austin Jackson 16 to play LT. He's an average at best RT Noah Iggy DB. Did nothing and was cut. Took hunt at 6 in round 2 to play RT. Moved to G and exceeded expectations. Let him walk. Grier is the main problem
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

They're both issues. Grier made excuse after excuse in their season ending presser. He made Tua the scapegoat for this season for not protecting himself which he called "totally unacceptable" McD sounding like a politician giving 5 minute rampling answers while not answering the question. It's not too late to fire them both. I get continuity but when you continually suck, does

The Broncos swallowed an 82 million cap charge for Russel Wilson this year and made the playoffs. The difference? A real coach and a promising rookie QB. No gimmicky bs. Tough, hard nosed football. We're not capable of that with our OC masquerading as a head coach. At least I have my Buckeyes!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

They need to clean house. No more half measures. McD fields one of the most undisciplined teams in the league and that all on him. Grier is Grier. 6 years into the rebuild and we're only slightly better. Go after Ben Johnson from Detroit and have him bring their assistant GM with him. He's a good coach who we once had and Flores fired him for his dual OC nonsense. Rebuild the l

The more I watch, the more I think they need to start over. Grier has to go. His rebuild was a failure considering in year 6, we're right back to needing help to sneak into the playoffs. That wasn't supposed to be the case. McDaniel, I thought, could be salvaged but the more he makes boneheaded calls, the more I think they need to can him too. The team lacks discipline and is soft. That's

45 you kind of lose credibility when you defend Grier and bash Tua. His problem is he hired a coach to fix his top 5 QB and save his job, and too an extent, has succeeded but he lost sight of the big picture. Build a complete team around that. With that he's failed miserably. Grier's job when handed this rebuild was to build a perennial contender. He's failed miserably and that's why he n

Tua has more TD passes than Herbert this year in 4 fewer games. Herbert isn't all that. Love went 21 and sat for 3 years. That comparison is purely hindsight. Tough teams play tough in the trenches. We're loaded at RB and WR. That's now how you build a tough team. Our oline has been a joke for years. Grier was in total control of the rebuild. His signature hire was Brian Flores. GRI

To add insult to injury, my mother in law is staying with us because she had a water leak in her condo. She decided to join me on my patio for the first quarter and didn't stop asking stupid questions. While in my phins hat and shirt... "Which team do you want" Jacobs TD "Why did they let him score?" Muffed punt... "Why didn't he catch it?"

Agree, Fins72. Tua was the only one that showed up. I just think it's a bad look smiling after those plays. That's a reflection of our HC. "Gee whiz, we'll get 'em next time"

That's why I didn't let myself get sucked in beating up on a couple of bad teams. Unless a bunch of 6-11 teams make the playoffs we stand no chance. Torch it.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Teams take on the personality of their coach. We're soft for a reason. Tua needs to stop grinning from ear to ear when he misses wide open wrs on 3rd or 4th down. Get pissed. Correct it. McDaniel is a good offensive coach. Not a head coach. Grier is a loser and should have been fired years ago. Time to stop the half measures and fire both and get someone like Vrable in here.

You're right about Hill. He's a penalty and/or missed block waiting to happen.

Good win. Now go beat a good team Thursday. Don't mind them resting players in the 4th knowing they play again in 4 days. When you build a lead like that you have that luxury. They're playing good ball right now but still not getting sucked in. I would really like to see them do this against the Packers. Go Phins and Happy Thanksgiving!

that was a good win and much needed. I refuse to get excited about our chances because it always leads to the big letdown. That said, if Mostert doesn't get the fumbles we beat Indy and Buffalo and the season looks much different. The life of a Dolphins fan! Ps. Grier still needs to go.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

100% time to fire Grier. McDaniel's job is safe due to the extension he got. I look at the Lions and Texans when comparing rebuilds. They accumulated draft capitol and actually rebuilt their teams through it. The Texans had the offensive and defensive rookies of the year last year. We took Charles Harris instead of TJ Watt because Grier "saw something special" in him. We cou
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Not at all. This is a flawed roster and it starts in the trenches. Grier built this team from the outside in and laughed when reporters questioned the oline. Tua is the only QB on this roster that can run the O. He HAS to get rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds or risk getting killed. We only looked decent on O because we played Arizona, traveling across the country on a short week, in a 1pm

I don't think Tua fixes this. We're a mess.

Grier should have been let go with Flores. Ross and his half measures are largely to blame. Every time I see TJ Watt make a play for pitt, I remember Grier saying he saw "something special" in Charles Harris. This is hard to watch and stomach. Whenever it seems we take a step forward, we take 10 steps backwards. The team has looked unprepared every game so far. McDaniel needs to
