Reggie has 3 fumbles on 126 carries. Thomas has 2 fumbles on 62 carries. Coach Philbin, for some reason or another, won't let miller touch the ball. What in the world would we ever do if he insane happens and we have 2 rb's fumble the ball in the same game? Oh, and you wanna talk about his performance? He finished the game with over 5 yds per carry. That's pretty good by any standards

Benching a player for three fumbles is a bush league move. I dont care how you spin it. If you don't like the way the guy runs, don't start him but don't substantiate your benching him because of a couple fumbles over a 9 game stretch. Ridiculous!

The title of this thread should be "Too late to bring in Moore". The time to start Moore was two weeks ago when we had a winning record. Instead this coaching staff decided to continue to develop our young qb and let him learn to play through some pain instead of chasing the playoffs. Now that we are back under .500 we might as well see what the kid can do. He obviously doesn't have

What was the purpose of benching the best playmaker on the team?
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The line play was bad all game. But Tannehill was billed as a QB with great mobility and athleticism. So far, I haven't seen it. Obviously, he doesn't know how to move around IN the pocket so he better learn how to move OUT of the pocket and scramble to extend plays.

Our inability ti get pressure on Luck is what exposed our below average db's. That said, He made some mistakes when he was hurried and we didn't capitalize (dansby dropped pick 6, smith tanking two picks). If we could have created a little more pressure or made a couple of those plays, it's a completely different game.

Moore handles pressure better even before Tannehill injured his leg do yes, I believe we win today with Moore. The defense didn't play great but they only gave up 23 points do the loss isn't on them alone. Once again, the offense had a chance to win at the end and failed. Beginning to see a pattern?
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I didn't see much pressure on Luck all day. If the hurries, knock downs, and sacks are reversed, I think the results would have been much different. Not taking anything away from luck but he had a lot of time in the pocket. Tannehill, on the other hand, was harassed a LOT!

The Bush bitchslap/stiffarm to cromagnon set the tone for the entire bitchslap/beatdown that we put on them so that has to be my vote!

Ok, think about this... Let's say, for arguments sake, that Moore gets the start this week for whatever reason. He throws for 400 yds, 4 TD's, 0 Ints and we win big in Indy. Now the coaching staff decides that we're going to stick with Moore because we're in a playoff race and he gives us the best shot to win. Moore plays as well or better than last year, we make it to the AFC championsh

Although I'd love to see a Tannehill/Luck matchup, I'd give Moore the nod this week. You'll get two things out of it: 1. RT gets another week of rest. 2. You get to see what Moore can do with this offense.

Empty backfield = fewer in backfield Fewer in the backfield = more running routes More running routes = more options More options = more TD's More TD's good.

RT is definitely the future but if the playoffs are within reach, Moore may give us a better chance to win now. He looked really good today coming off the bench. Imagine how much better he would be as the starter.

Their receiving corps has to be the worst in the league so the best of the worst won't create much fear. Btw, did you see him showboat after the insignificant first down when the game was all but over? I don't like to see a lot of that stuff but to do it after your team has been dismantled makes one look really stupid! Even worse when the commentators call you on it. Haha.
