I like how I'm starting to see the phrase "Rothgate" pop up here and there in the blogosphere. Well really in just two places so far. I came up with what I thought was a funny name to describe this whole Matt Roth scandal early yesterday and then I see Omar use it on twitter (he's been known to frequent this site from time to time) and then some guy named John Renshaw uses it earlier to

I'm starting to get kind of concerned. What's all this drama with Matt Roth about. He sits out during practice doing light exercises by himself on the sidelines instead of doing any sort of normal contact drills with the rest of the team. Reports say he failed his conditioning test. His agent Drew Rosenhaus claims he suffered some sort of groin injury (again). Sparano says he is "under the w

Having two "home run threat" RB's is not what makes the Wildcat a dangerous threat for us. Since unveiling it in New England last year, it produced consistently less yardage and we had consistently less success with it each game. Two skilled RB's isn't the answer. If it was, we wouldn't need Pat White. Teams just stacked the box because we had no legitimate passing threat out of it. Th

Sam what's wrong with you? I was responding to Miami Thunder's comment about how many of our players he thinks are going to get injured. I quoted his original comment and your response to him because I was agreeing with your outrage over such a ridiculous prediction. Did you even read my post? I wrote "Yeah really?!?"

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Come one Mike. No one is saying he was a stud at anything. But I remember those games that he started and I remember how his ability to avoid the rush, stay on his feet, and scramble was the one bright spot that suggested there was a potential there for us to make plays. He found receivers a couple times by buying a lot of extra time with his feet. I'm not re-writing history, I saw him down right

Hey I got no problem with someone pitching the argument that we better have solid backups in case of injury, I think it was just the way you put it. It was kind of like 'Hey everyone, prepare for some heavy injuries this season, I wouldn't be surprised to see a WR...make that two, go down with injuries, oh and a RB, and TE, either a guard or tackle, and most likely a DT.' It was like tr

Cleo Lemon won't play QB for them if Brady goes down. Guarantee they are looking at him for the wildcat. The one thing I remember about Lemon was that he was really good at avoiding pressure and slipping past defenders. Our crappy O-line would let a DE or LB through every play and Lemon would dodge them, staying on his feet until he found a receiver or picked up a few yards with his feet.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

No, if the observations from OTA's about how good he looked and how much potential he looks like he has end up being pretty accurate, I think it will mean that we have a good young player who may turn out to be a real solid safety, but not necessarily someone who is going to immediately unseat a healthy and already pretty skilled player in Gibril Wilson. My guess is that if he is that good, he'll

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Thanks. That's a pretty detailed explanation of the Wildcat. While I understand it much better, it seems that someone like Mike Vick created this type of mismatch every time the Falcons offense took the field. Instead of 11 on 10, because he was a threat himself, defenses would often times have to designate one of their linebackers as his personal shadow, effectively freeing the offense up to tak
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Can someone please explain to me (REALLY EXPLAIN TO ME) what the wildcat really is? I don't understand this "throwing threat" that Pat White supposedly brings. So what you're telling me is that we put a QB (who apparently can run fairly well; though untested against NFL-speed defenses) behind center. And then here's the kicker.....he can either throw it, or...(still with me?)...he c

Hartline just signed. I think we can agree that something like this can pass for news during these terribly stagnant months of the football season. And hopefully he'll be good. I mean at 6'2 he's our tallest receiver by at least 8 inches (with the exception of Turner)

"And you have NO PROOF at all that Brady was getting defensive formations into his helmet before the play. that was NEVER reported!!!!!
