Marino has been working in practice with Tanny over the past month. Whatever he is teaching him, is obviously sinking in and working. I think this kid has finally turned the corner. What better advice to get , than from the greatest QB passer to ever play the game!

The big issue I had with the coaching was timeout #2 at 1:07 If anybody taped the game, you will notice that rogers was in no position to run a play after the he got sacked. In fact Rogers was gonna take a 5 yard delay of game.instead he calls timeout giving Rogers at least a fighting chance.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I was at the game. Typically philbin has been good at clock management. The use of timeouts today frankly lost us the game!! This loss falls squarely on poor coaching!! On fourth and 11 after the wake sack and the clock running with a minute left.... Rogers was in no position to call a play..he wasn't even under center.... He was prepared to take a 5 yard delay of game penalty. And wha

You all missed the point of my post. My issue is not with who Hickey drafted,,, but with his lack of trades and value of his trades. Hickey got schooled PERIOD! He didnt trade down when he should've ....and trade down, when he should of just picked?....
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

To all, I have no doubt that he will choose some good players. However, he is getting schooled in the game of drafting. He trades down when he shouldn't ...and stays put when he should've traded down. Note 1: In round 1 he chooses James when he had at least 2 opportunities to trade down and get a second 3rd rounder from Cleveland or new Orleans. I assure you that Cleveland would of agreed

McKinney is a cheap option that would be good at right tackle...at least for one year.

At this point give the job to Gaine... He has one year to make playoffss...or both he and philbin and all the staff are goners! No one in their right mind would take this job.... Its basically a one year do or die proposition....

ChyrenB, You mentioned, "you could see his skill on the long pass" ...I saw several long passes thrown into triple coverage. I definitely question his decision making ability... Honestly, I am not that impressed with him...especially his performance in the playoffs. He mounted a comeback and beat the chiefs...but fell flat on his face in he following Game against the pats.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Jlyel13, You are giving luck excuses! If you decide to throw risky passes into double and triple coverage, I question your decision making ability! If that was Tannehill, he would of been ripped! Bottom line is the patriots took the deep ball away from luck and forced him to throw shorter passes... He decided to take more risks...and he got burned! I did not see him use his legs and

Treasure, You took the words right out of my mouth! Where is the consistency ? 6 picks in 2 games! That absolutely sucks! I truly much prefer tannehill than Luck! NO Excuses! Good quarterbacks make up for their teams deficiencies! luck looks absolutely lost...no answers! This loss is squarely on his shoulders. 21 points on 3 turnovers... Stevie

Dolphaholic, His name is Greg roman....and he is a hot commodity in the coaching world... 2 years as off. Coordinator ....he is innovative and what we need, Hopefully Ross throws lots of $$$$$ at him, and he comes over to the good side!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Perhaps Steve Ross reads our forum! He listened! Obviously, they did their analysis of Sherman and showed him the door! next to go is our o-line coach Turner. Another pathetic coach who,didn't produce! Mark my words , he is the next one to be fired. Philbin was given an ultimatum over the weekend....fire Sherman, and stay...or you both go...he thought about it, and made the right and
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Unbelievable! I did speak to soon...I admit it! He still did suck for 2 1/2 quarters. And anyone who gives excuses about how poor his offensive line is...I don't want to hear it! Let's see how he does in the next game against Denver or the Pats!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I think that today's playoff game is exposing Andrew Luck. He is making mistakes... He is sliding instead of going in head first on runs..Shows lack of guts! He has thrown 3 picks so far! As far as I am concerned , he has been exposed! If he were on the Dolphins, our board would absolutely torch him! And btw, aside from the last 2 games in which he played well...he has absolutely been hor

This will be my last post for a while... I am flat out exhausted! To lose these 2 last games the way we did is truly embarrassing. I only hope that the proper changes are made in the offseason.. OC, coach, gm...? If it were me, I would leave Ireland , philbin and coyle for one more season. A new OC is needed to replace Sherman ! If philbin refuses to cn Sherman,,,then he must get f
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

All I can say is Simply, Disappointing! Sherman and Philbin were given another life to make up for the Buffalo fiasco! They played a Jets team that was mediocre at best! We were down by 7 until 9 min. left in the 4th quarter...and still couldn't put points on the board. 7 points in 8 quarters of football? How can you blame the defense? Buffalo only really managed 13 total points o

Great post Eesti, I agree with almost everything that you said...except that "you are not too sure that much would of changed in the game " had the adjustments been better. That is "unknown"! I think you are settling on mediocrity if you state the above.. Coaching is more important than you think...especially in football. I coach kids basketball...and we lost

Sherman remains the issue. period! If the game plan is working...Sherman comes out looking great! The issue is when a curve ball is thrown his way , and he needs to make on the fly adjustments...he appears to have "no clue"! Let's see how he does this weekend...does he bounce back?ww.

That is good chyren.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Perfect analogy!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Agreed. Sherman has to go.. And if philbin doesn't want to fire him, then they both have to go. That is where mr. Ross has to step in. Although we had a good season, we have been plagued with numerous puzzling offensive play calls. Why would you not use a qb sneak more often on 4th and inches? Several times this year Sherman called a fade pass play, on 4th and 1...I can remember at le

Rick, Sorry, but you can even do a tight end screen.... It only takes a second or two..and they are toast.. How would we know if they didn't even try it? Having two rb in...one to block and the second to screen was another option... Sherman was a fool to not even try ... Stevie
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Chyren, I get the feeling that Sherman calls the shots on the offense...although Philbin is the head coach, Sherman historically has always been above philbin..in this case, I think that it is Sherman calling the offensive shots...not philbin.. Sherman must go! You are 100% correct! Why no screen passes? The cure to a ferocious pass rush is SCREENS! If the second level misses one tac
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I'll give him one more game but here are my observations from the buffalo game. 1) the Miami defense played well enough to win..I believe that one of the scores was due to going for it on 4th down inside our 30... 2) Mike Sherman called a horrible game. He gave up on the run against a team that has the best pass rush in the league.they are mediocre against the run. In the late 3rd quarter, an

The reason is because every team in the playoffs have had bad days. I honestly chalk this up to poor play calling... All changes if we beat jets next week... And truthfully we can beat any of the teams in the postseason.
