Watching the game was disrupted when I learned that an old friend passed away. When we were in our teens we built and jointly owned a 57 Chevy Wagon race car that saw strip time. We did that weekly for a couple of years. We did many auto related things together including cruising the beach for girls and dating the same girls we knew. Only memories now, but good ones. Very sad to lose a friendship

It's my understanding that Ian Book (from Notre Dame) will be starting his first NFL game tonight for the Saints. They guy is mobil but who knows if the Saints will allow him to move out of the pocket. If he does it will be interesting for the D. If he stays in the pocket, expect quick slants and the use of the TE to move the ball. The guy has a decent arm and is very smart.

Not much to say but...GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!! Game starts at 8:15 pm.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tua, despite a victory was not sharp. He did make two bad decisions that resulted in interceptions. The throw to #84...the CB saw it coming and #84 kind of waited for the ball to reach him--not by much, but enough for an interception and a catch up TD and extra point. Zach Wilson, as I see it, has potential. However, he is being overwhelmed by and under achieving offensive line. (We know wha

Kind of a goofy game going on. The Jets have the Dolphins D a little flat footed. Gadget plays tend to do that. I want to see more of Duke Johnson, Williams, Gesicki and Parker. Since, the Jets are doing a little gadget stuff, the Dolphins need to do something along those lines too just to confuse them a bit. Half time. Go Dolphins!!!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Nice drive for 6. Parker's catch set it up for Johnson's TD run. 10-7 now. Things appear to be settling down for the Dolphins.

Waddle makes Tua. Without Waddle...big trouble. Weak arm showing again. We need to get Isiah Ford in the game...on short passes.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We are at home. This is a game we should win. Hard to positively know who is playing and who is out tomorrow. With the "bye" we had plenty of time to perfect game strategy, so, I am hoping we "throttle" the Jets. Go DOLPHINS!!

Unbelievable!! Damn.

TC--don't let that minor league commentator upset you. No one thinks he's a good commentator let alone an expert on QB play. (Severe injury curtailed his QB career in the pros and one can only speculate if he could have been a franchise QB, if the injury to his spleen had not occurred.) By making comments about Tua all he has done is to focus attention, negative attention, on himself. T

The Patriots handed off to running backs that kept coming and coming. Their running was a punishing effort. This reminded me of the Czonka days, with Kiick and Morris. The Patriots won by intimidating the D-line of the Bills. The Bills took a pounding...a relentless pounding. Kudos to the Patriots for finding the right RBs to do that and for an O-line that run blocked with precision. The

Another encore win. Keep it going.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Okay...no dominating for sure. We are playing too conservatively and I sense Tua is relying solely on his buddy Waddle. He needs to have a throw and catch with others....get others involved to open the play up. 4th Qt now.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Nothing close to domination. LOL It has been a slow, deliberate, conservative game play from the Dolphins. Waddle keeps momentum going. Hollins getting free in the end zone for 6 and point after makes it 10-3 at the half. After watching college games yesterday with plenty of scoring...this game is very, very quiet. Looking for domination in the 2nd half....LOL
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Giants come to town to face the Dolphins. This is a game the Dolphins can win (maybe dominate). The team is coming together and Tua will have Devante Parker as a third or fourth target. Smythe was targeted often last Sunday and did quite well. He may be used again to complement Waddle and Gesicki. Balance on offense is still needed to make it all work. We need to see more of the running game
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tua is doing better. Certainly so in the last game. He had a good percentage of passes caught--that's positive. Yet, I don't see him progressing enough to become a franchise QB. His weaknesses--arm strength and injuries will hold him back. I see another RG3. If a better QB option becomes available (not Watson) or shows up in the draft, the Dolphins need to be in the hunt.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Dick Anderson was exceptional. He and Jack Scott were a great combo.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

What an outstanding game for the Dolphins. Everything clicked and it resulted in a dominating game. Congratulations and high fives everywhere. The team looks like a team and acts like one. It is so much nicer being happy as a player (I suppose) when the team is successful. As a fan it is far more pleasurable when the team wins than to have to complain about what went wrong on an ugly, loss.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Beautiful--another interception. That's 3 for the D.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I was going to state that this was the best half the Dolphins have played until...the botched snap to Tua as the team was getting closer to try for a field goal. Time expired after the Panthers grabbed the football and advanced it toward their end zone. Ref's somehow found an extra second left and (are you kidding) the Panthers' get three with a field goal. Score is 21 -10 right now. Should hav

Tua's best game to date. Great pass to Waddle for big gain. Then... Gaskin runs it in for a TD. Love this!

Didn't catch the show--in the garage removing "clutter" before the big game. Yes, practicing over the head like Willie Mays catch in the Polo Grounds a long time ago...something may be surprising in the game today. We shall see.

The Carolina Panthers face the Dolphins today at the stadium. It should be a good game as I think the teams are evenly matched. If so, does that mean low scoring? Or, does it mean a game where the scores are in the 20s or more? Either way.... GO DOLPHINS!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

This is another indication of desperation. Not to say that Lindsay is not going to be productive it's just that he doesn't quite fit the short yardage, bruiser we need to make a first down or get into the end zone from 2 yards out. It truly is confusing. We need a legit FB. (I miss the Czonka days when D-linemen weren't happy to be on the field facing him.)
