J. Waddle has cleared concussion protocol, so he should be available for Buffalo. Miami "seems" to be a dangerous team, but we will know for sure this Sunday. 1. Can Buffalo keep up with Miami's speed? 2. Can Miami (somewhat) control J. Allen? (This is where Vangio really has to get his guys playing top level; if he doesn't.....

This game was unbelievable. Everything went right and the Fins took advantage of it. Now, with the Bills next Sunday, it's time to see what the Fins are made of. Despite the 70 point blowout and being 3-0, I'm still not sure about this Miami Dolphin team. They will have to get real serious for next Sunday, otherwise Miami will be heading home with a loss. Achane showed what he can do; now w

I understand that this was the first game, but....Fangio's defense did not impress me. Luckily, Miami's offense is strong and Tua was on the money most of the game. However, the offense can't keep that up...impossible to do! My one issue with the offense is the lack of rushing attempts. Where was Brooks? He can pound the defense; wear them down, then open up with Mostert and allow Tua to hit h

The Chargers are favored in this game (not surprising). I'm still not sure about this Miami team; can't get my hopes up too high (I've seen many epic failures from the Dolphins over my many years of following them). I hope they win (of course) but if they don't, here's hoping they are at least competitive. I hope McDaniel has some good plays called to both open up the passing game and also ge

Looks like White has won the backup QB job. I'm kinda surprised; from the two preseason games I saw on TV, I though Thompson did a better job, plus he knows the offense better.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

IMO, Taylor is not worth what he would be asking for. I have also read where Miami is going to have a lot of players that are on their final contracts and will be up for more money next season, and that's not including Wilkins or Tua. Miami has a playoff-caliber team right now; why screw everything up by paying Taylor the big bucks? Besides, all I keep hearing is the RB position is being de
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

During the draft, I wanted the Fins to draft Taylor, but now....not so much. He has the talent, but Miami doesn't have the $s; Wilkins is more of a priority. In my opinion, we have a stable of RBs that can get the job done. Let someone else spend the big bucks for Taylor. He isn't going to come cheap.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well, T. Armstead is out AGAIN!!! He was carted off the field. Geez, people talk about Tua and his issues. Sure hope somebody can fill the position and keep it. Enough with the OL problems.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Except for the int, Mike White looked pretty good in the first series. Gaskin won't go quietly. LOL. I recorded the game, so I will watch the second half tomorrow morning. I agree with you, TC, Miami wasn't trying to win; just see what the players can and can't do. First team didn't play, with a couple of exceptions, so can't judge the game on just the second and third teamers.

Does anyone here understand the strange rules concerning teams wearing different color/shades of uniforms during the season? I don't see what the big deal is. Seems like the NFL is power hungry, having teams do only what they want them to do. Rule needs to be changed.

I didn't want to say anything when Miami signed Ramsey, as I didn't want to jinx it, but I had a bad feeling that something like this would happen.

J. Ramsey was carted off the practice field today with what appears to be a knee injury. Here's hoping it isn't anything serious.

T. Hill is under investigation for an altercation on Haulover. Seems he has a history of these types of incidents. Does the Dolphins organization need to assign him a baby sitter so he will stay out of trouble? We need him on the field, not in jail.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Just thinking. I am hoping McDaniel has done more brainstorming on the offensive play calling. Teams figured out Miami's strengths of Tua throwing in the middle of the field. McDaniel is going to have to open it up with Tua throwing to the sidelines, deep, and utilizing his TEs and RBs more. Can't continue with the old way.

Cam Newton has stated he would be willing to be the backup for Tua. Personally, I don't care too much for his personality. I don't think he would be a good team player.

I saw most of the Miami games on TV last season, but missed the Balt game. I just watched on NFLN the replay of that game. Tua is a damn good QB. He decides very quickly on where to go with the ball, and has a very quick release. And....as Hill has said on many occasions, Tua is very accurate. Now.... McDaniel has to work on passing plays where Tua doesn't have to depend on the middle of the f

Truthfully, Miami got Ramsey on the cheap....a 3rd round pick and TE Long. The only negative is Ramsey's contract...big money. But....if he plays up to his Pro Bowl self, he is worth the money. Maybe now X can get back to his All Pro game. Fangio gonna have fun coming up with plays? Saying all that, Ramsey, too often, gets burned. Can Fangio fix that? Anyway, here's hoping Ramsey will be t

Jones has been released, saving Miami $13.6M post June 1st. Still talk of Miami pursuing L. Jackson. With Miami in cap hell, I can't see how they can sign him, but....I'm sure Grier will figure out a way if that's the route Miami wishes to take.

News is that Fangio has chosen Miami, although nothing has been finalized, as yet, so stay tuned. Tua is next year's starter; just need to bring in a good vet to back him up, one that does not have an injury history. Speaking of Tua, McDaniel is going to have to work with Tua and hone his skills. Teams figured him out (first read) and defensed it, thus Miami's losing streak at the end, bef

This Sunday against the Jets, has to be a team effort to help Thompson. Hill and Waddle have to get space between them and the DBs and catch everything that comes their way. The running game has to keep the Jets' D honest. The D has to be strong; stop allowing those long drives. McDaniel has to call a good game; keep the Jets on their toes. And last but not least, Thompson has to see the
