Leadership in Football: Some thoughts--being a vocal player, a big mouth, doesn't necessarily mean the player can get others to follow his suggestions, advice and energy. Leading by example, playing well in every respect, followed by enthusiastic words and energy may attract some to improve their thoughts and ability to execute plays. Wake has proved to be a tough and durable player who show

Dolphins merely testing the water with Osweiler. Probably just another warm body for the front office to say we did something this week--aren't we smart.

14,000 yards so far. How many more yards will Gore gain as a Dolphins RB? He can still run and catch and may be able to provide some senior mentorship to others on the team. He's a proven player. I wish him well and believe he's a good addition even if it's only for a year or two.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

How often have we, the fans. applauded something, anything, the front office or the HC has done during the past 20 years. Thinking about it really strains the brain. The Dolphins continue to be a bust. It starts with the owner and runs through his bonehead employees.

No Dolphins' draftee this year (my opinion) will be able to start for the team. I'm putting it out there. So, if that is correct, the only way to improve the current roster (which is changing) is to 1) make a trade or 2) pick up players via FA who have something left in the tank and aren't too expensive. Given the high level of negotiating skills exhibited by the brain trust on the Dolphins,

We are seeing sabotage from within. Cleveland awarded a top flight NFL player and we receive two lowly picks...talk about stupid negotiating. Landry will never see a SB ring playing for the Browns....unlike you know who on the Eagles.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

One less quality player for RT to throw to before getting sacked. My question is: who will take Landry's role and is he on already on the team? Without knowing all the possibilities, it certainly appears to be a very "stupid" trade. Is there a rabbit in the hat?

"If you build it they will come" doesn't apply to baseball or football in South Florida, it only pertains to widening roadways. "If you win, they will come" is fitting for Dolphins. Nothing more, nothing less than "winning." Ross is just a rich guy with a toy in his closet to play with. He should sell the team to investors that have winning as their focus, not h

I think the only way this guy is coming to Miami is for a vacation. Dolphins won't pick a QB in the first round of the draft...too many other needs besides the front office is betting on RT to be back, better than ever. It's their call and they routinely guess wrong.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We'll never know just how good the Dolphins would play against the top college program in the country will we, so my comment is simply pointing to the enormous talent both of these college teams have on their respective rosters. Some players will blossom in the upcoming seasons to become NFL draft selectees, others will declare soon and we will see them drafted this spring.

The Rolling Tide is one helluva football team. I have to say the same for the Bulldogs--both are equal but the Tide, once again, under Nick Saban, who most Fins fans despise (and for good reason) has coached another team to a National Championship. Talent wise, there are players on both teams that will become NFL players. Some will have fantastic careers. Teams of this caliber work together,

Hells bells, TC, I agree with you on the logo. If Ross had upgraded the logo with the apex predator of the dolphin--Orcinus orca--now that would have brought some teeth and team work to the franchise logo. Our players sure don't work like a pod of Orcas--the team really needs that kind of togetherness and smart killer instinct. Aside from the current namby-pamby logo, we have Stephen Ross a

Watched the Clemson/Alabama game. Alabama has outstanding talent and if Alabama played a game against the Dolphins right now--I'd put my bet on Alabama. I will also state that IMO, Georgia could also beat the Dolphins were they to play next Sunday. The Alabama/Georgia game will be awesome. Better players and better coaching than the Fins have today.

Fales isn't the answer to Moore. Tannehill may be the answer to Moore as a back up. We need a new, better QB. And, I need to take out the garbage too. I can hear the truck.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Agree TC, the old uniforms are to my taste, whereas the new stuff doesn't work at all for me. Undisciplined--too, too many penalties and hot headedness. This needs to change and it starts with the coaches being tougher--a lot tougher.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

What a game!!!!! Much like an exhibition game. No points scored thus far (not even a field goal--not one fist pump SamSam). Fales is not the answer. They should have guys in the stands trying out as QB. Maybe they could fine a QB. 11 penalties and counting. Really??? What a group of undisciplined players.

Fins72--I agree with you on the extraction of Tannenbaum (at the very least) before we start seeing some improvement. I am just as pessimistic as you are that Tannenbaum isn't going anywhere. The best we can hope for is to hope for better execution and coaching to lift us above a miserable 6-10 season. I do believe the Bills will win today because of Tyrod Taylor's mobility and the lack of spee

Fins72, clearly the Dolphins are not a well-oiled machine. When a coach is not respected or feared (they may be other parameters) what is being offered as instruction is not fully comprehended and "blown off." Constant practice, repetitive practice, drills, are necessary so that reaction is instinctive. Variables and how to react must be drilled in, just like learning to count to 1

JC--at the rate we're going--the answer is "no." We will never become a great team again. Substandard play and coaching is the new norm and that means another crappy season again.

It's Monday morning...and I had to "sleep on it." When the offense rolls the defense also picks their game up. Similarly when the offense flubs like it did yesterday, the defense is not capable of holding opponents. Whether it's because of too much time on the field or a mental attitude of "we can't." Much of what took place yesterday is on Cutler and by much, I mean
