No, it's never enough until you end the season holding the Trophy. That being said, the Dolphins far exceeded our expectations this year. IMO, they were playing with house money after that 8th win. My congratulations to the Dolphins for a fine season!

Bess, Camarillo, and Ginn will probably stay. They need to add one more guy. Too early to say who that could be via the draft...Dan Pompeii thinks it will be Harvin. We'll see.

It's a necessary thing if this team is to get to the next level. All part of the turnaround. All good.

As I posted in the earlier thread, I'm not sure what Peterson would add to the mix, other than maybe business-side experience. The understanding I've got is that Stephen Ross will be making changes on the business side of the house. I don't know exactly what those changes are, but it could be that the Dolphin Enterprises hierarchy of Joe Bailey and Bill Pierce is in jeopardy. I'm sure we

It's not about Zach vs. Ayodele...it's about building the best roster you can. The Dolphins weakened themselves by cutting Zach. Even as a 12 year vet, Zach still had more tackles than Ayodele (94 vs 75). And who would you rather have quarterbacking your defense, Crowder, Ayodele, or Zach? The Dolphins blew it with Zach. They should have kept him.

Yep, that was King's way of saying that he isn't impressed by what the Dolphins have done.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

1) He's still a good player, even in his 12th season. 2) He stayed healthy for 16 games. 3) He's better than Ayodele and certainly better than Torbor. Those would be the main reasons...

Few people will feel sorry for Jason Taylor. He made his choice, now he must accept the consequences. I very much regret that his Dolphin legacy was damaged as a result of his unfortunate decision, because he deserved better. I still believe the Dolphins made a mistake in cutting Zach Thomas. We all understand the medical concerns at the time he was waived. That being said, there was nothing

No question that Carpenter's work on FGs and XPs has been terrific. He's been crtitical in several wins this year. He needs to improve his work on kickoffs. He's near the bottom of the league in touchbacks (5 in 12 games), and Jeff Ireland told us he isn't consistently kicking the ball to the designated side of the field (i.e. kicking to the left on 'coverage left' plays). He's been part of th

Cold on the outside, but this game is in Toronto in the Rogers Centre, a domed facility. BIG BREAK for the Dolphins!

Edwards' back-up is JP Losman. He is not very good but has had some good games against the Dolphins in the past. He is mobile, too. Bottom line is that the Dolphins need to bring it.
