The way to do it is through continuity. Right now we still pretty much have that: Nolan-Good DC.(Many teams would love to have him.) Daboll- Not proven yet. However he got us our first ever 1000yd rusher & 1000yd receiver, the offense put up more points, and he made an average QB look better than average.(All good signs). Ireland- Had a solid draft. So based on the above, to keep

Nobody likes the Dave Toub thread. No love for Toub. I thought for sure this thread would be blowing up with intense debate. This is Hot breaking news right off the press. This could be your next head coach we are talking about. Oh well, if anyone wants to talk Dave Toub I will be here waiting.

Fisher ought to land a pretty fat contract with all the teams in need of a coach. He could be the benefactor of a nice little bidding war.

A team source says that Chicago Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub will interview with the Miami Dolphins for their vacant head-coaching position according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Bears coach Lovie Smith said he is hopeful of retaining Toub but acknowledged that Toub has aspirations of moving up the ranks in the NFL. A source said the Dolphins were granted permission to in

Mike Pettine is interesting. I think he may have been on the staff in Baltimore when Nolan was there. These two guys together could create one hellacious defense for Miami. Plus he knows fat Rexs plays and strategies.

The starting QB for Miami in 2012 was Matt Moore and it will be the same later in the year.

Not a fan. -Pure Pocket passers have better success in the NFL.They take less hits.Plays develop quicker. Plays have better execution.(Marino,Manning,Brees,Rodgers,Brady,etc) -Running Qb's always end up getting the crap knocked out of them and it takes a toll on them after a few seasons. When a qb takes off with the ball and decides to create something on his own he is the only one that know

I think Matt Moore is good. I also think Daboll's system has improved Matt Moore's game. I like him because he is a scrappy ,gunslinger who plays with a lot of heart. And because he isn't a fairy like brady or sanchez.

IMO draft picks are such an unknown commodity it is hard to say who is gonna be amazing and what part of the draft they are going to come from. -All I care about is that we get great players I don't care if they are well known or unknown or if they came from the first round or the seventh round.

I think Ross picks Billick.Seems like his type. Ross seems like the type that wants his butt kissed and Billick seemed to pucker right up calling the miami position a marquee opportunity. I think the other coaches on the list would be annoyed by Ross.

It would take more than Long to get Luck. Also if we were going to make a run at Luck I would rather trade more future picks and keep Long. Why not have a great left tackle to protect your premiere investment? You don't want to handcuff the kid.

Reggie Bush needs 27 more yards to reach 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his NFL career. However, that isn’t most significant milestone if Bush reaches the century mark. It would also make him and Brandon Marshall the only tandem in franchise history to produce 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season. Marshall surpassed the barrier last week against Buffalo. “That’s a
