Ray, you're probably like me, part of the 53% paying our taxes so the other 47% can collect they're goodies... That's fine, but it's totally unsustainable and eventually there will be a huge backlash. In the mean time, we're just going to be another 2nd tier socialist country, no longer leading the way. Less invotation, growth and total stagnation.

Aloco, I know this is Dolphin's blog and I won't belabor my point, but maybe it's time we stopped thinking in terms of our race, skin color etc and called ourselves Americans. By the way, I'm white and married to a beautiful educated Latina woman who voted for Mitt Romney.

Aloco, yeah... I think you just made my point. Any way, God Bless America.

No Aloco, thank Allah, God had nothing to do with it. And um....be careful what you wish for.

Can we please focus on the upcoming game, maybe break down the Jet's defense, look at some matchups, acknowledge RT's improvement and adjustments in the last game etc.. Come on Armando, this piece is beneath you. Stop stirring the pot. I'm re-subscribing to the Sunday Ticket today to watch the Fin's young talent take the next step in their evolution. Can you try to stay positive for at least the week after a win?

Oops..meant to say Steelers.

Some here won't agree with me but I think we're in the same class as the Raiders, Cardinals and Rams. I despise the Jets but they're a better ball club right now and Bengals too. I'm interested to see how the Jets Circus fares against a beat up Stealer team on Sunday. I have hunch they're going to look pretty pedestrian. If so, the Jet game may look more winnable.

Four minutes at the end of the 2nd quarter cost us the Texan game. RT was playing in his first game in a hostile environment. He's supposed to be a quick study. If he can make the necessary adjustments with his eyes, add some pump fakes and use his feet, I really think he can be an excellent quarterback. I know we havent seen much of him yet, but he doesnt look like he gets rattled easily. Can we score 30 points a game? Doubtful, however I think we win this Sunday and I think McFadden will be stopped.

After reviewing our offense in the first half of the Texan game last night, there are many reasons to be optimistic. Overall, the line play, even the right side was good. I especially focused on our rookie right tackle and must say, he is making the adjustment to the speed of the NFL. If these guys can stay healthy, the run game is going to flourish. The guards and center were getting to the second level and Bush is making the right cuts. I wish they would have run the ball a little more but the coaching staff seems to have a lot of confidence in RT, maybe a little too much confidence at this point in his growth. If we can avoid the turnovers Sunday, I think we win the game. the Raiders are banged up after playing a Monday night game, traveling to the east coast. I just hope Sherman and Philbin put RT in a position to flourish. Let him throw on the move some, especially in the red zone and run the ball more. The defense should be ok and our special teams is definitely better than the Raiders.
