Hmmm....4-12 might be impossible unless we sure up the offensive and defensive lines.

The QBs in the 2019 NFL are not as good as previous years...yet the Dolphins need to draft a QB. However, based on the top QB draft choices, I think we should stick with Fitzpatrick this year, hope to win 3-5 ball games with him, and build the D and O lines as much as possible with talented draft choices. With a losing 2019 season imminent, and I think it will be, the opportunities to pick

Ryan Fitzpatrick becomes the Dolphins QB. We can deal with this for a season or two. Will he shave his beard because of the climate?

He's gone. Who is going to be the next QB?

Media say this collegiate QB is 5'10 1/8" tall and Weighs 207. Hmmm...some team will likely select him prior to the Dolphins pick.

PAfinfan--Prosecutors can get a bit "excited" sometimes when they believe they have a big fish on the hook. Sometimes their excitement misleads them into jumping the gun. We all need to be patient and see how this unfolds in the next few weeks. The government will have to show its hand soon or look foolish.

Remember there is a presumption of innocence in all criminal matters in the US. Burden of Proof by the prosecution is beyond a reasonable doubt. If there is sufficient evidence in this case to sustain the alleged crime, then he will opt for a deal to minimize damages and his exposure to jail time. All and all, let's wait and see how this unfolds in the weeks ahead.

Height alone does not make a person tough or talented. Many things go into being a good NFL football player, for instance, having an unbelievable will to succeed. Yet, because of the size of surrounding players and the violence that occurs on plays, it is far too easy for a smaller player to be injured. Murray is a wonderful collegiate athlete ...yet he will be at great risk if picked up by the D

First off, Flores seemed thrilled with the opportunity to be head coach of the Miami Dolphins. He seemed 100% genuine in his comments about it. He is an intense, dedicated, no nonsense kind of leader and he will whip the players he has or gets into a family unit. The family unit culture exists in NE with the ownership and trickles down to the players for the most part. I believe this is why B

ChyrenB commented: "They never used Tannehill in the way in which he would be most effective." Wide Receiver? Just kidding of course.... In my opinion, there are many special team players that will remain on the roster, however, a good number of 2nd string players will not make it and, several starters will be cut or be traded to obtain more draft picks. The team will be

Underdogs...ha! With no pressure to rush his throws, Brady throws strikes. I'm not surprised they are back in the SB. One has to wonder if a young coach can compete, preparation wise, with Belichick. Do the Rams really have a chance to outplay the Patriots on the biggest stage? We'll know in two weeks.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Whoever is discounting the Patriots making them underdogs is nuts. They have lots of post season experience and have the mental upper hand in my opinion. I like the Chiefs and would like to see them play in the SB. It's been 50 years since they were in that game. Good luck to them.

I'm not sure what's going on. Appears to be a glitch in the software, I'm guessing. Or, it is artificial intelligence striking out against the folly.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Back to the topic. Personally, I believe the Dolphins should stay away from coaches associated with the Cowboys and the Patriots. Connections to these franchises for the Dolphins aren't sound. The best association, thus far, has been Amendola. Coaches associated with Belichick haven't faired all that well. Being under Belichick for a period of time hasn't translated into brilliance as a HC. W

I learned about this earlier today at a car show where Joe Rose was present. He made the announcement that Kuechenberg passed away last night. Bob Küechenberg was an old school hard-nosed football player that played didn't let ailments stop him from playing. One tough hombre. Very sad to learn he's gone; should be in the HOF, in my opinion. He optimizes the football play of the 72 Dolphins

Thank you for the compliment...I'm blushing. Del Rio would be good for the Dolphins. Defense would improve considerably. That's a good place to start. And, yes I agree he should have enough going for him to pack the team with competent (veteran) assistants. Let's see how this goes.

No time to reflect on his miscues with this quick hiring by the Jets. It's likely that Gase will do the same things he did before. Time will tell.... Reflection is very helpful to most people to evaluate what they did. Sometimes the "thinking everything over" actually changes one's approach and posture, other times, the victim of circumstances "card" is played to erase clea

There has to be some head coach, for example, Jack Del Rio, that could build the Dolphins into a competitive team. He's had an up and down success as a HC, but I believe he might be able to turn things around here. Tannehill's future as the Dolphins QB has to be a key to hiring a HC. If I was in the mix, I sure would want to know what I was getting myself into before I said yes. That's reaso

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I've been listening to local talk radio about the Dolphins and the speculation on who Ross may hire to be the HC. Well, it is an uncertainty for sure, but I sense that a new hire will not be a proven head coach, but once again, a rookie. An experienced HC, I would think, aside from demanding a huge salary, would want to have more than a shell of a team to come to. Who in their right mind, oth

I wasn't surprised that Adam Gase was fired following that terrible showing against the Bills. I'd like to see an experienced HC be hired with a winning record.

The difference between an average team (8-8 record) and a superior team (12-4 or better) isn't just a few additional quality players, it's above average players at most positions plus proven assistant coaches that can develop players to get them to be more effective in what they are supposed to do. Consequently,the Dolphins continue to employ unproven assistant coaches, and in regards to HC,

The Dolphins are 1-6 in away games. The team is atrocious on the road. Fans have to wonder why the team is so sorry in another team's stadium.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Another pathetic away game. Granted RT is limited with his legs and the lousy offensive line play compounds the inability for any offense. Parker and Stills not in this game. Was it lack of time for Tannehill to throw to them? Lack of breaking away from coverage in their routes? A combination of both? Yeah, probably both. The Dolphins lose this one 41 to 17. There were only a couple

33-17 with 9 minutes to play. Injury to RT has stymied his mobility and presented an easy target in the pocket for the Vikings. I don't expect any more miracles to close the gap in this game. Vikings are outplay the Dolphins. The fat lady is about to sing...so we can turn out the lights.
