Jordan Phillips' purported skill set never materialized. He was given plenty of time and just never quite made it. The embarrassment with the Patriots...probably was enough agitation in the minds of Gase and Company to make the cut without thinking. It should have happened far earlier IMO. He's fortunate to have made a good salary... and may find a spot on another team as a 2nd or 3rd stringer.

No depth for the OL equals no offense..."man the life boats."

ESPN reports that Daniel Kilgore is out with a torn triceps. That means we have a BIG problem at center. (Typo in subject corrected from "it" to "is".)
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Agree again with your comments Fins72. Larsen is subpar and #66 stunk the place up. #24 was out of position, covered poorly and could not tackle. The team was out played and out coached.

I concur. Very pathetic, humiliating game for the Dolphins. It's not likely that the Dolphins stay in front of the Patsies in the East.

Okay guys, I've watched the first half of the game and can make a few comments now. Thus far, the Dolphins have been out coached and out played at every position on the field (not including special teams). The defense is being pushed around by the Patsies offensive line. There is no noticeable pass rush putting pressure on Brady. The secondary is two steps behind and passing routes are n

My long time friend who used to live in MA called me at 3:20 today and asked "what's up with Miami, they didn't show up for the game." I told him, I wasn't able to catch the game live but recorded it. He told me the score was a blow out, 38-0. Before I comment here, I need to see the game.

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I kind of agree with all of you thus far. To me the ideal situation is one where the offensive is balanced. However, when circumstances arise that thwart the passing game or running game, adjustments need to be made to succeed offensively. What is needed is an arsenal of plays that surprise the opponents, set them back on their heels, so to speak. The key to doing that IMO is not to give up earl

I've got it. The QB's uniform must have 12 6" red flags attached to his uniform. On the front: 3 equally spaced above the numbers and 3 spaced equally apart at belt level with one on each hip; on the back side of the jersey: 3 across just above the numbers and 3 equally spaced at the waist. So, to protect defensive players and the QB, a QB is sacked whenever a defensive player "

This was a big win. Gruden really got sun burned. It's going to be a uncomfortable flight back to Oakland for the Raiders.

Our defensive line is wiped. The long drive by the Raiders kept them on the field and they are pooped. I don't have much hope for us winning the game since we can't stop pounding, long drives. I surmise that we don't use our TEs as receivers much because we NEED them to block to keep RT upright.

Illegitimate penalties knock us out of scoring position. Our players did nothing wrong to earn them.

We need to score before the Half.

The Dolphins are running on 7 cylinders today overall, but the long pass and catch by Stills for a TD was special. The wall is too close to the field and could have caused injury to Stills. Dolphins need to get the TEs involved in the passing game. How many times do I have to say that.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Lousy play selection so far. C'mon Gase.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

This is going to be an interesting game. Gruden has found the Dolphins' weakness up the middle on pass plays. RT still needs to lead his WRs more on plays. Ball looked like it was behind Devante Parker.

A few minutes before start. Hot day. Go Dolphins!

Devante Parker's closest friend is Murphy, of Murphy's Law. If he can be side-lined, he will be! The Devante Rule is a corollary to Murphy's Law.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Devante Parker has not been a "reliable" player because of all the injuries he's suffered that have side-lined him and this may be why he hasn't shown us much as a player. If the guy is really a competitor, and I wonder about that, he should be "chomping at the bit" to get back on the field...however, he's not let anyone know (including the media) if that's his attitude

Hmm. A young guy with dough...I hope he "retires" wisely, finds a fun job that suits him and can enjoy his time after football.

Those geniuses have little regard for the Dolphins and will not change their opinions until we start creaming other teams on a routine basis.

Fireman Ed--he's a fantastic Jet fan and is obviously a bit wacky. Jet fans have been so down and out for so many years that it has effected their mental state and physical appearance. They have had high aspirations every year to see those aspirations dashed repeatedly by lousy coaching, poor management, and questionable picks. Because they are in our division and we play them twice a year, it's

First place is a great place...in fact, it's the best place to be in universally. RT kept things going with his legs, a lot to be desired with the passing game game calling. Only 1 pass to a TE. We drafted TEs to use during the game as offensive tools, yet Gase seems to avoid including them in the game other than for blocking. Yes, we won this game but it was iffy for a while wasn't it. Th

This win is more important than expected because the Jags beat the Patsies.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Play calling has been lame this 2nd half. Gase needs to give it to somebody, perhaps a fan in the stands to do. Unimpressed with his play calling ability.

Howard...thank you. RT better thank him too. Great interception!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Defense bent but stopped the Jets from scoring. Dolphins played pretty well overall and have a 20-0 halftime lead. Things are going far better than I expected. Keep it going.
