The thing that upsets me more than anything with this team is that they can't seem to play a full game. If they could just get that single thing accomplished then we would have twelve wins or more this season...I agree that the team has holes to fill and I think the coaches are doing a good job (not great) with what they have on the roster. I also agree with those that don't think that Sparano ne

Now how are we going to get the point accross? A few people are not going to get heard...and getting the masses to get together with a single voice is simply asking too much. It simply never happens anymore.

Well at least we won't get shut out...that's something.

These are the real Phins...whether we like it or not this is the team we have.

I'll remain delusional thank you...I've been that way since 1970 when it comes to the Phins, no need to change now.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Yeah, this is really ugly...we need to add quite a lot of speed on both sides of the ball...we look very, very slow today.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

What stands out to me is the entire defense (the guy's that are still here) has had it's tackles cut in half from last season.

Davis needs to get his head around and find the ball. On the one play he tried but fell down...can't have that kind of stuff. And yes better line play would be nice...we have to find a way to get pressure on quarterbacks without resorting to the blitz...which got us burned once or twice today. We have to consistently rush three or four and still get pressure, right now we can't and it hurts us

Daytona, you are assuming that Allen will be able to come back healthy and can still play at an accepatble level and even if it does we still need to draft a CB to add youth speed and depth the the secondary.

The thing that is the most frustrating is that if we had simply taken care of the ball, not had inopportune penalties, and played up to our potential this season...this team, despite injuries, could easily be 13-1 or 12-2 right now even with being seriously flawed in some critical areas. Oh well I guess...time to start working on the off season.

I'd go with this. WR DT LB CB S OL RB We absolutelty have to become more explosive on offense to better compete with the elite teams. We have to find a stud DT that can dominate the LOS and anchor the run D. LB's are a high priority because we simply need more guys that actually make plays instead of waiting for the plays to come to them. CB is a need because once we get past Davis an

I wish people would stop harping on and on about players with superbowl rings because when you are talking about "individual players" that means NOTHING. There has never in the history of the game been a championship won by a single player alone...without the other players on the field no one wins. And if Marino was currently playing his career under the same rules as the current

Henne is fine he just needs to learn not to force the ball and to get it out of his hands a bit quicker...oh and to run when he has the chance if no one is open. That said, he is doing so much better than my expectations for him when he was first forced to play. He will be OK, he should develop quite a bit in the off season when he has a lot of time to work on those things...hopefully we'll be ab
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Henne should have just run the ball on that last play...there was no one on the entire left side of the field...he might have actually got in for the TD.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Yes it was a nice catch but I hate the play call...too aggressive.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The defense had better start doing something because if they don't this game will be very ugly very soon. The offense HAS to do a better job of doing thier part as well by moving the ball and not making mistakes...

If Bess can't play then Turner needs to get his chance...Camarillo, Hartline, and Ginn is good but against the Titans it would be smart to have four receivers on the field at times. In fact, even if Bess can go a five wide formation two or three times during the game might be a good idea...no one would expect it.

Rice ran a 4.63 official time at the combine and logged a 4.59 unofficial time..but at his pro day he ran a 4.4. His biography has him having 4.5 speed. So he was probably closer to 4.5 than 4.6...in reality. His game speed was pretty good in any event.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I fully understand what you are saying realist but the "average" 40 time for an NFL WR is 4.5. A #1 needs to be 4.4 or better with size, hands, route running ability and physicality thrown in too, JMO. Also, I'd keep Ginn on the roster and get him some help in the off season. (By help I mean a sucessful ex NFL WR as a mentor to help him get better) I'd keep Ginn, Bess, Hartline

At the time the Welker trade was a good move for the team. I said at the time and I still say it now. This, despite the fact that I loved Welker as a player when he was with us.

It's the players first and foremost. As has been said we are weak at LB, S and NT...once the personnel is on the field we can blame the coaches if it isn't getting done. Coaching makes up for just so much, beyond that it's the players that have to be talented, smart, and disciplined enough to make the plays.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The chief difference is this: Welker is quicker which enables him to get open faster and in a smaller space than Bess. Welker also gets to top speed quicker, again in a shorter diatance on the field. Oh and Welker has better hands...even when Welker was here he routinely caught balls that I've seen Bess drop. That said, different quarterbacks do play a part in this. Beyond that there is no

I agree GBO it was a stupid call and I was screaming at the TV for them to kick the extra point when Sparano first told them to go for two...it was a bad call then and it remains so despite what the coach may have been thinking. IMHO, the only times you go for two are; if you have to in order to outright win the game, or to preserve a greater than one score lead inside of the last three minute
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Pat White is our backup quarterback and I see very little value in letting him play running back right now. He needs to be given chances to throw the ball but that should not come until we lose another game...officially ending any hope of a playoff game for us. Until that happens White should be kept on the bench to learn. If we are eliminated from the playoffs then I'm all in favor of giving Whi

I'm glad to be wrong...before the game (as I said in another thread) I didn't think we had a chance in Hell of winning this game. Great job today getting some big plays...and we finally got some breaks too.
