I rewatched the Barfalo game a couple of times at NFL Rewind. First of all, It's great to have a win! Things I noticed from the game... 1) The defense is swarming to the ball. We did start the game using more Press coverage and it paid off. I'm really happy with our two new cornerbacks. Davis made an excellent break on the ball for the TD. And Smith, was showing solid coverage skill

Braylon Edwards stats this year are eerily close to Ted Ginn jr. Of, course Ted Ginn doesn't have the problematic character baggage that follows Edwards. I'm sure that Cleveland is very happy with that trade.

Ginn Jr is only 24 years old. He is far from done. I continue to support the kid as a valuable member of this Miami Dolphins team. I expect him to get more oportunities to make big plays as Henne settles in to his comfort zone as the leader of the offense. I think overall, fans simply don't understand that Parcells doesn't build an offense around the WR position. He is probably more ti

The NFL has been cracking down on the Justin.tv feeds. They normally start showing the games and then they get turned off. It's best to do a search and try to find multiple game links in case the one your watching gets shutdown. Unfortunately, if game links are posted on message boards like this one...they are more likely to get shut down.

We have enough pieces to have a solid defense. The Defense was anything but solid last week. Sparano needs to have an inovative change moment like he did last year at this time with the offense. Suggested Changes.... 1) Must bring our corners up in press coverage (at least show press coverage) to not allow that underneath stuff to kill us for big plays. We have physical corners. Let t

There were several moments that cost us the game. That missed field goal. The pathetic time management at the end of the game. A defense that could not tackle. A couple dropped INT's. Overall, it was a good game to watch. The home crowd really showed up. The offense showed signs of life. But, the D took a step back. We didn't combine pressure on the QB with press coverage.

The Patsies should be 0-2 right now. It was great watching Tom Brady getting smacked all day long. And Randy Moss running half hearted down the field...sweet. The Jets defense is tough, but they did show some vulnerability. A more mobile QB would have exposed them. Brady seemed less accurate on the move.

I could care less about what they wear... However, the Phins traditionally wear their whites for home games and force the opposition to wear the darker colors. It is designed to give the Phins an edge in the heat...absorption vs reflection.

Any word on why Matt Ryan missed practice today?????

We got rid of Booker because he did not fit the size requirement for an RB in this system. The Dolphins drafted the type of RB they liked in Parmelee and Hilliard. We had to retool our personel last year quite abit because of the different philosophy in player types. We may give a little guy a look once in while if he has that something special, but at the end of the day our experiment wit

It is interesting that the Patsies have been player much more a 4-3 alignment this preseason. In fact, one game...they almost exclusively played a 4-3. Seymour still has another good 5 years in the tank. I'm glad we don't have to face him twice a year anymore. It is true that the Patsies haven't drafted especially well lately. Both Butler & Brace are on the 3rd team depth chart. The

Not bad. It would have been nice for you to get a premere RB. But, it really depends on how the league is set up. My Draft went pretty well, but this is the first time I've played in a league w/ defensive players. I didn't allow any Jets, Bills or Patsies on my draft board. 1. (4) Maurice Jones-Drew RB 2. (21) Larry Fitzgerald WR 3. (28) Ronnie Brown RB 4. (45) Greg Jennings WR

Well, if you look at the official depth chart...Hartline is Ginn jr's backup. He is not listed as a starter. So, why did Sparano let him start? Maybe they feel he is the WR who can develop the quickest. Maybe they feel that he is QB friendly. Maybe they feel he is a good downfield blocker for the run game. Maybe they want him to similate having a fully recovered Camarillo. Sparano regu

Sounds like drama to me. I seriously doubt Parcells cares about any less than 1% owner. The only thing I could see him concerned about on the marketing end of the team is to get the stadium full. A full stadium gives the home team an advantage. We haven't had that type of effect since the Orange bowl. Like they pointed out last night, Danny Thomas was the first Celebrity owner of the M

Obviously, the game plan was to get alot of reps for the RB's. We simply didn't throw many passes to the WR's. That said, we did have a couple of dropped passes...one from Bess, Armstrong, and a off-target or out-of-position swing pass to Ginn behind the line. The O-line and RB's got some valuable reps. Hilliard, Clemons, Moses, Donald Thomas, Crowder, Solia ....all stood out to me as havin
