Really lost confidence in Tua this game. After the winning streak I was ready to buy in on him but after Sunday’s game Im not sure I want him to be the starter next season. Watson will be an upgrade but I don’t want to trade draft picks to attain him. So now we have a QB problem. Dieter and Davis are the problems on the OL they both need to go. Jackson and Eichenberg are developing. Jackso

Stop the run game, pressure Tannehill we should win this game. Tannehill is not the qb that can bring his team back from a deficit so I hope the defense continues to be aggressive and attack. QB coach really needs to figure out what Tua is seeing in film sessions. Trying to drop the ball in to a WR w/ 3 guys around him was just stupid. OL are who they at this juncture. Eichenberg needs to

Green was not earning his keep in MIA. Regarding the oline, I think they have looked good as of late. That unit has 3 young developing plays who I think look better each week. That is reassuring. As mentioned we need to bring in a stud center and there are at least 3 in the 2022 draft (guys from Iowa, Minn & UVA). I wish they would sign Morgan Moses from the Jets in 2022. He will be a f/a

Extend Duke Johnson right now! About time we had a rb with vision. Jackson and Eichenberg are beginning to click on the left side, good for them. We gotta get a center in the next draft. The off week appeared to throw this young team out of sorts. They were out of rythmn early in the game. I think we should see less of this in 2022.

Don't forget the refs never calling holding on the Pat's Oline gave Brady all the time he needed to deliver those passes. I hate the Pats.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tua is starting to show what he has and still has not played with a consistent core of WRs yet I like Jackson at G, I think he will developed there. I liked Eichenberg at NDame, I blame the coaches for his slow development w/ that dumb @## attempt to play him at G. At minimum he will be a starter at RT. TCP mentioned that Igbanoghene should be moved to safety and I agree. I think he woul

I have seen Sam Howell. My reservations are primarily with the NC offense. Its, IMO a longball O. These spread offenses really make a lot of good qbs look exceptional. Trubisky looked darn good running that O (for a year) and he was fundamentally a better qb than Howell. Again my opinion.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

There is not a qb better than Tua in the 2022 draft. Protect your qb is all I can say about his injuries. Take a hit from a MLB player in the ribs with a baseball bat and see how 'injury prone' you are. I do want us to upgrade our #2 QB. Im tired of Brissett, he just does not play w/ any fire in his belly. I like the guy they picked up recently. I liked his play at OR State but do now want to

Great game to watch. Defense coordinator stayed ahead of the Ravens OC all night. Aggressive not passive reactive D, O played well w/o starting and big name WRs/TEs having productive games. This team can win if the coaches get their acts together been saying that all year.

Coaching, Dallas and the Saints won yesterday w/ a 7 rounder and an undrafted f/a at qb yesterday. Jets beat CIN w/ a 5th rnd qb. Its coaching. Other coaching staffs are getting it down. The Dolphins rot is out of control now.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Sadly I think this team is ready to collapse. The Watson/Tua drama is probably the last straw. Im not hearing a lot of players rallying behind Tua. I see nothing with the phins to establish a fulcrum and turn this negative situation into a positive force to build on. Nothing. Strong coaching can make up the lack of leadership. None of the young 'leaders' (Baker, Howard, Gesicki) or veterans (Davi
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Now this is a dumb move. I would have traded Brissett and kept Sinnet. I wanted to see more of Sinnet as the 2nd qb for evaluation. You never know the whole story but at this point developing Sinnet would have been worth more than having an experienced Brissett at #2 imo.

I think letting Van Noy and Flowers go were more about the potential emergence of Van Ginkel, Hunt and Kindley and they spotted some edge players they liked in the draft. All I can think of McKinney is that they did not like what they saw of his shoulder. No top teams jumped on him when he was released and they did not move him to the active roster until last week. The Van Noy move was the dum

This team won 10 games last year. This roster can win. Flores as a coach looks like the guy that is not ready to sit at the poker table. Grier should be fired for hiring him not the player's he collected.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We needed to move on from Fritz. He was what he always has been, a mediocre qb that never took a team to the playoffs. At 38 he was not going to change. That was the right call no way was I going to start believing he was the answer in MIA, no way. I respect everything Fitz did but it was time to go. Don't care if he was blindsided or not he was not Tom Brady. Tua has talent that I hope we can

Studsville is probably the only guy on this staff that could handle this team on an interim basis. Studs and Godsey are probably the most qualified coaches on this staff. Jeanpierre's screwing up the oline is a the major issue on the O. The entire defensive staff stinks.

Lost this game on 2 4th down plays. JAX has 4 and 6 and convert. That was on Coleman he was not covering anyone. He breaks on the ball and get to the tackle faster to assist Rowe they would have been an half yard short. Receiver would not have been able to stretch out. Phins 4th and 1, shotgun formation gave the defense too much time to react and penetrate which they did. Put the QB and powe

You gotta put your qb under center on a 4 and short like that.

I like the play of the OL so far. They looked good, some miscues but all n all not bad. My concerns are w/ the D. Cannot force an int on a rookie QB (second time this year). JAX is missing 2 starters on the OL and the coaches do not want to go max pressure on a rookie QB. Iggy is breaking even I see more things I like than I do not from him. Defensive front 6 is an issue lack of pressure, bad

Mancz, Jackson and Hunt look good on he interior oline on that first drive. There are going to be running lanes available on future drive. I know its JAX but looks like they finally have the right 5 on the OL.

Im just not sold that this situation can be corrected by this staff. If you compare each member of the Phins coaching staff to their counterparts on the top 10 teams in the nfl you will see why they are getting their clocks cleaned on Sundays. CLEV has Callahan as OL coach w/ NFL veteran G Scott Peters as his assistant. They have Kevin Rogers as a senior O assistant. Rogers is a noted QB coach an

Respectfully Colonel, the coaches are payed for a reason. You cannot have 'too many voices' in the players ears brings added confusion. That is what I think bring in former players will do. Former players will also have to stay within the scheme of the coaching staff's O or D. Unfortunately I think this problem goes beyond tweaking. Lamar Jackson looked unsalvageable after his rookie year. Th

I have no doubt that a credible coaching staff could win with our current roster. I do not have an issue with the talent that Grier has assembled. I would terminate him on the hiring of Flores and allowing him to bring in incompetent assistants.

I think our players are trainable and developable. The coaches cannot do either one. I did not see yesterdays' game (my son is 20 now and not a big nfl fan. If he wants to do something w/ his old man I am there on Sunday's) but I read this morning that the Phins moved Austin to LG and Eichenberg to LT. I have been calling for this move probably since June. If an average high school football playe

Jeanpierre does not know what he is doing. It is reflected in his units performance. Flaherty is like 26 years old Im not sure what he could teach a veteran olineman. All of this is on Flores. My understanding is that the coach picks his assistants in the nfl. Flores staff is not on the front office its on him. We lose against the Jaguars the Phins should cut bait w/ FLores. If he cann't beat

Flo stinks because his assistants stink. There is not a solid NFL coach on his staff. The oline has problems because Jeanpierre has only 3 years experience as an OL coach and 2 of those he was an assistant. This will get worse before it gets better Grier can bring in whoever and this coaching staff will scerw it up. The only way we could lose the Colts game was if our coaches screwed thing

This is on the coaching. We got players. The trying to stick Eichenberg at G in the preseason was ridiculous. Reps are so important to an olineman, why did they waste so much time having him learn guard? Jackson does not have the feet to play tackle he is the one that should be getting reps at guard. They have been playing musical chairs for years and the oline still sucks. Not the GM. Why do

We got our bags packed and ready to roll. Let's roll with Tua. I would have taken Watson 3 months ago but before week 1 of the season, I don't think so. Starting qb's always sit the last preseason game, no fire there.

I caught some youtube video from the game and liked what I saw. There was improvement from Jackson as he did a better job of planting his feet and mirroring his man. Kept his assignments quiet most of the game, both were 2 rookie 5th round picks. He still totally whiffed on a play but Tua got the ball out. We are lucky that Tua is a lefty. Jackson also looked strong in the run game. I think he wi
