I thought I'd just come on to say.....you're wrong Armando. LOL. You make some good points for a losing effort, but you also didn't give any reasons for why or how the Phins could give the Patsies some real trouble. Why just leave it to us?
This team always has a chance to win the game. Whether or not they get over the hump into the next level of teams remains to be seen. It will surely be difficult as they are playing a lot of young guys, but one thing young guys give you is speed and fire. I look for this combination to give the Phins some real upsets when these young boys turn the corner. I actually look forward to that Turner kid getting on the field soon as well. I remember thinking,..."Wow. This kid is BIG." in the preseason. Despite whatever drawbacks he's had, he needs the experience and I can't help but remember some of his catches for 1st Down where he just dwarfed and outmuscled the little corners. Does that sound familiar in this league? The Phins could really use him and need to get him on the field. Screw it. Throw the kitchen sink(Wake) at em', watch out for some stupid surprise like a Bellicheat Wildcat clone and see if the Phins can make the Patriots wilt in the second half.
I believe in this team, even if it seems like they have holes and needs. So does every team in the NFL. Go Phins!!!! :)
Dolphins victory against the Patriots? Unlikely
Things are looking up for the Dolphins. They have won three of their last four games. They are undefeated in the AFC East division. Their special teams is playing better. Coaches are milking the offense for everything it has. The defense is playing well enough -- especially in the first three qu...
Chad Pennington is a real class act and deserves to get the starter nod after last year and how he worked and prepared for this year. Chad Henne is obviously the future and until he outworks Pennington or Pennington is injured, he will get the valuable time in learning this system as well as gaining more knowledge of NFL defenses. Pat White will be effective in the role he is given and I agree with you 100 percent about the state of the QB position for now.
I think we have good problems here. I'm almost certain that we will see Pat White break a long run this season at a critical moment and I believe he will also hit someone deep with a scoring strike. His speed will force defenders to linger towards the box and if they don't I believe he will scramble very well. That said, kudos to you and your QB position insight in this one.
As for people who hate on you, I am not one of them, though I do disagree with what I think are sometimes, 'against the grain' opinions or when I think you are overly negative. I know the Phins are coming off a rough stretch and that probably enabled that. But fans need a nice dose of positivity to stay motivated. Or else they just follow you down the Path of Doom. I haven't seen any of that from you this off-season, and I do read your blog so you must be doing something right. :) I do love me some 'Omar' though, as I have to give him credit for his hard work and insights into trench warfare that others seem to mostly ignore. Later Armando.
Tackling the Dolphins QBs - with '07 moment
Of the reams of emails I get, the three subjects most often covered in those cybernotes are on the Dolphins quarterbacks, on Jason Taylor, and on how much I stink at this, that or the other thing. The topic here excuses the latter two topics from the conversation and takes a marksman's aim at th...
Dude! That was a great Marino story. You forget that he may have been 'Hawk-Eye' on the field, but he has a really big heart off it. Great QB. Great person.
Fri. practice update (with '97 Marino moment)
David J. standing in for Armando, who is resting on the fifth and seventh day this week, but working on the sixth. Friday saw a fairly uneventful afternoon practice with a lot of special teams work. It tells you how bad the Dolphins staff and personnel people feel their coverage and return units...
Mando. I actually like the 'classic' moments you've been sharing. It breaks up the monotony of reports on training camp and various tedium that results from the season not being here yet. If I were you, I'd keep those coming. Nice. Thanks for the training camp tidbits. It would also be nice, just for the sake of knowing, why that kid, SirVincent Rogers just up and left camp. Did he just realize he was no match for these guys or what? Anyway,....I'm out! Peace man.
Thurs. evening update & '97 Limburger moment
If you are a big fan of sizzling offensive football, skip the top portion of this blog and go directly to the Classic Training Camp Moment. If you are a big fan of stifling defense that is made to look better by unproductive offense, then read on. The Dolphins defense was active and effective in...
Hey Mando. I am very happy that Taylor is back in the fold with an real good relationship with the coach. It seems that Sparano can ask Jason to do anything and he will follow through. This can only mean good things for the Phins. Peace man.
Taylor and Sparano forge an interesting bond
While much of the rest of the world is still digesting the fact Jason Taylor and Bill Parcells have resolved their differences from a year ago, most of you on this blog were the first to know of the disconnect over a year ago and the first to learn of the reconciliation about three or four month...
