Defining the 2009 Miami Dolphins

PrintI was browsing the various South Florida newspapers on Monday and wasn't very sure what I was going to write about today. I wasn't exactly in a "statistical" mood and we've beaten the AFC playoff picture to death already. But then I read an article written by the Palm Beach Post's Dave George - who always seems to find a way to crap on our parade - and I was suddenly inspired.
The article he wrote talks about how the Dolphins 14-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday "clarifies nothing about the inconsistent Miami Dolphins." I disagree.
George closes his article by writing:
All I'm asking for is a little clarity. Is Miami a playoff team, and if so, are we just being set up for a clocking by somebody that really knows what they're doing, somebody like the Indianapolis Colts?
What's amazing to me is how somebody who has been covering South Florida sports since the late 70s can not realize what the 2009 version of the Miami Dolphins have become. Are they a playoff team? We'll find out in the coming weeks. But that's not what this is about. What it is about is what the Dolphins are right now - a shining example of toughness (both mental and physical) and resiliency.
The Dolphins came into the 2009 season with one of the toughest schedules in the league. They lost their first three games of the season. They lost their starting quarterback and halfback. They lost one of their starting cornerbacks. They lost their starting nose tackle. And they lost a "Mr. Do-Everything" player who was their third running back, special teams standout, and one of the coaching staff's favorite guys. Despite all that, the Dolphins sit here having won seven of their last ten and are right in the thick of the playoff chase.
If anything, Sunday's road win in Jacksonville not only "clarified" what this team is - it solidified it. This is one group of tough SOBs. This is a team that refuses to give up. And this is a team that refuses to let the 2009 season slip away.
Toughness. Resiliency.
We saw numerous mistakes committed by this team on Sunday. It was downright ugly at times and it's likely that every Dolphins fan watching that game had that "oh no, not again" feeling in the pit of their stomachs as the game entered the fourth quarter. It was a game that had no right being as close as it was.
Despite all that, the Dolphins did what they had to do. In what was essentially a "must win" game, the Dolphins refused to just collapse like we've seen past Dolphin teams - even more talented Dolphin teams - do. Instead, when the game could have easily swung in the other direction, these players made plays. Yeremiah Bell broke up a pass attempt. Randy Starks collapsed the line and took down David Garrard. Cameron Wake hustled back into the play and tackled Garrard from behind to end the game.
Toughness. Resiliency.
As great as the "Zach Thomas/Jason Taylor" era of Dolphin defenses were, one of the knocks on them was that they sometimes failed to make those critical stops when they absolutely had to have them. For all of the current defense's faults, this group has gotten better week in and week out and have done an excellent job of getting those critical stops in the past two weeks.
Toughness. Resiliency.
After Sunday's win, Jason Taylor - who wasn't a part of the great late-season run last year by the Dolphins - told the media:
"It's been a long time for me to have meaningful games in December. It's great. This is why I play the game, and I like the pressure to be on. We realize every week is so important. It keeps you focused. It keeps you grinding late in the year. Having something to play for late in the year is awesome."
Taylor's exactly right. It sure is awesome.
If I had told you entering the season that this team would be 0-3, be without Chad Pennington for the final 13 games, be without Will Allen for the final 10 games, be without Ronnie Brown for the final 7 games, and be without Jason Ferguson for the final 6 games, what would you have said? Whatever it is, it's highly unlikely you would have believed that this team would not only be in contention for a wildcard spot with three games to play but also for the division title.
So enjoy it. There's only one thing better than meaningful December football - and that's meaningful January/February football. And the fact that the Dolphins even have as good of a shot as they do is thanks in large part to two things.
Toughness. Resiliency.

Possibly the best post Ive ever read on here Matty...
Rec’d
Nail on head…This is about finally knowing where we are going. Less than 2 years ago at this time…we had 1 win…and that win was a mircale. The team was full of players just stopping in….or picks being paid nad played just cuz.
Now we are a franchise thats going somewhere. We have what teams like the Browns wish they had…direction….hope….and excitement about what we are building.
I believe because of how well ppl have filled in for injured players….people forget what kind of injuries this team has overcome. its amazing really.
IMO this is some of the best Miami Dolphins football I have seen in over a decade….Its a great time to be a Phins fan.

Yeah, David George is a clown. Just trying to stir up conversation. Is this team going to win a Superbowl? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean we just give up at this point. Any knowledgable football observer would agree that the Dolphins are headed in the right direction no matter what happens this season.
If Dave George wants to see inconsistency...
Dave, let me introduce you to a little team know as the Arizona Cardinals. Last season, they were beaten 47-0 in a December game, and yet somehow made the Super Bowl (and kept it close). This year, they’ve lost to the San Francisco 49ers twice, yet have demolished both the Giants and the Vikings. They were embarrassed by the Carolina Panthers at home, yet won a tough road game against the Houston Texans.
Inconsistency? Compared to that mess of bipolar players, the Dolphins are the most stable team this side of Elway’s Broncos.

Great post. Miami is coming together at the right time.
If you think about it Miami is getting it done in the 4th Quarter of the Season.
I would hate to be fan of the Cowboys always losing in Dec.
great post, i always love the positivity
its so hard looking at our schedule and our injuries, to be positive, especially when you are a dolphins fan.

Right now, I'm looking at it like this:
The Fins have been inconsistent in different aspects of the game, at different times.
Early on, we were all cringing when the game was on the line and the D was expected to get a stop – but the running game was clicking and keeping us in control of the clock and in each ball game. STs started out weak, but got better, and actually won a game for use when the D and O couldn’t get it done. Then our running game took a hit when we lost Ronnie and the WC, but our passing game took off and the D started to gel. This past week the Offense looked like they wanted to give the game away in the second half, after a strong start in the first half, but the D stepped up and pretty much won us the game.
So here’s my point… maybe we are coming to a point in which all 3 facets of the team will have worked out the kinks and the whole team will come together and gel at the right time (like starting this week). If each aspect of the team plays up to it’s potential at the same time, I think this is a football team that can beat anyone in the league. They came close with both Indy and N.O., and they were certainly not firing on all cylinders in either of those games.
Go Fins!!!

Wouldn't that be great.
I think that I really have to search the ol’ brain housing group to try and remember a thoroughly dominant game where we beat a team up in all three phases of the game. The only game that comes to mind, and I am not sure if it was really us beating them or the Wildcat befuddling them was last year against the Patriots….38-13 (and I missed the game flying out to the Left Coast).
As much as I love how resilent this team is, I long for dominant victories!

Great Post Matty
I am stll concerned though about this team’s inability to put a team away. That is the one thing that has killed us time and again and whenever we have had the chance with our foot on the throat of a good team we seem unable to go for the kill shot, instead letting a good team hang in there. A good team will always capatalize on those opportunities. I know we are a young team and I hope it is something that we develop(and quickly to be quite honest). The next time we have our a team like the Colts, or the Saints(hoping we will make it that far) on the ropes we need to take them out.
Absolutely agree
I get sick of us going into “try not to lose” mode instead of “slit their freaking throats” mode. I love watching a team just destroy the opposition’s will to compete. That is what I want to see from the Fins one of these weeks.

Great write up
I agree with what you say and this was inspiring to read.
Good post Matty....
I think the fact that we lost all of those starting players and still compete week in and week out shows the depth of this team….
I think there is just the right mix of veterans and younger players and once these young guys(Wake, Davis, Smith, Hartline, Langford, Merling, Henne, Hilliard) get used to the NFL, this team is gonna be a contender every year….
Has Dave George Even Watched the Dolphins This Year?
We consistently play close games. And everything you said is true Matty.
Toughness and Resiliency
One thing you get when seeing a Tony Sparano press conference is that he is one tough SOB, and he is a resilient person – you can just tell those 2 things from wathcing him. The fact that those characteristics have now been passed to his team goes to show you how good of a coach we have.
Dave George – shut up, and actually watch the games. We may not blow away teams, but we don’t have much developed talent at this point. We are a young team, growing every week, and the fact that we scratch and claw to stay in tough games shows you how good of a team we will be in the coming years

THE Miami Dolphins
by JStarr23 on Dec 15, 2009 8:26 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Let's address the TWO KEY QUESTIONS:
Is Miami a playoff team?
IF SO (Let’s assume they make it to the playoffs).
Are we being set up (with too high expectations) to be blown out by (say) the Indianapolis Colts in the playoffs?
I think that it is obvious that the writer has some unhealthy agenda/issues with the Dolphins.
Do you really want consistency or do you want PROGRESS/GROWTH/IMPROVEMENT?
First question: Is Miami a playoff team?
There are two questions here.
Will Miami make the playoffs and is Miami a playoff-caliber team?
There are too many variables involved in answering the first question, the Fins just need to win ALL of their remaining games (very doable). IT IS AN EXCITING RIDE THOUGH, ISN’T IT? The fact that Miami has beaten the Patriots (consensus playoff caliber team) and the Jags (who are currently leading the playoff contender race) proves that they are indeed playoff caliber since those would be the type of teams that Miami might face in the playoffs and would need to beat to get into the playoffs. You could argue that the Fins ARE in the playoffs right now (in a sense) and so far have been staying alive by winning must-win games (which is what you are suppose to do have success in the playoffs).
Regarding the second question:
Would anyone here be devastated if the Fins MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS and then got blown out by say the Colts?
Getting to the Playoffs would be a huge achievement (not that the Fins would be satisfied by that) after starting out 0-3.
And what would be a better indication of consistency than to go to the playoffs in CONSECUTIVE years after going 1-15. (Pittsburgh may not even make the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl. Talk about inconsistency!)
I’m not even assuming that they would get blown out by the Colts (though they would have to play them in Indy, which would be a really tough task), but after they already took them to the wire and dropped the winning td pass, I’m looking forward to that matchup, not dreading it. What do the Fins have to lose? They were left for dead weeks ago by even some fans on this board (you know who you are!).
It is funny because Dave George really should have written that article about the Patriots. If they make it to the playoffs and then get blown out by the Colts, the fan base would be disappointed, since the Pats fans are expecting more than just getting into the playoffs. They’ve already been there and done that (except for last year).
Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and Chris Clemons. Trio > me.
Beyond that..
I think we almost had the Colts earlier this season. I think if we faced them in the playoffs we would give them a bit of trouble. I think this team is as talented as any other team in the league. Sure we don’t have a number 1 receiver… but we have plenty of number 2s. We have an amazing offensive line, a young and talented QB that is playing as well as any 2nd year QB out there. We have Ricky. We have Lousaka…. Randy Starks is playing lights out. Joey Porter is playing hurt, but I think he can still give us a good game, and Jason Taylor. Is there any other young + talented outside linebackers that can say they are learning the tricks of the trade from 2 Pro-Bowl(and future Hall of Fame) outside linebackers. We have Vontae Davis + Sean Smith coming along together and I think they will both eventually be shutdown corners. We have another gaping hole at FS, but we have Chris Clemens getting his share of playing time and I think he will be the solution for us there. As young as we are, every single game we have the opportunity to get better. You may beat us the second game of the season, but I like our chances against the Colts in the playoffs after proving we can win out and win a few playoff games to get to them.

If we can make it
to the playoffs and get the youngsters 3 more games under their belts, no telling what could
happen. We hung in there with the big boys(Colts & Saints) and not too many teams can say that.

They way this year has gone, 9-7 would be great, even if we miss the playoffs
I know, I know… most people are looking at 10-6 and missing the playoffs or 10-6 and getting blown out in the playoffs as the worst-case scenarios. And if we don’t go 10-6 which is perfectly possible and wouldn’t surprise anyone not a Miami fan all these people will be devastated and talking crap about the Dolphins. Which is why I like the Dolphins much more than I like it’s fans.

It certainly hasn't been pretty this year...
…but who the hell cares? Let’s just ride the wave until it takes us ashore— hopefully back in Miami, say, early February…
Who knows how good this team really is, or how good they will be by the end of the year? Are they most polished, gifted team out there right now? I think we would all agree they are not. But that not what the playoff are all about— it’s about who’s hottest when the chips are down.
Sure they could stand to up the consistency, and cut down on mistakes- but this team as it is, is more than capable of making a run. And if they continue to gel and improve over the next few weeks? Who knows…?
Didn’t somebody say once… : “WHY NOT US??”
What The Fhwaulk !!!!
Matty – great thread leading to a great end of season story. I was sitting in the Famous Pub here in the ATL just enjoying the hell out of the first half. We were rolling these suckers up and dominating the crapola out of them !! No indegestion; just one of those fist pumping, kick ass moments that Fans live for !!
Then the 2nd Half started and we tried our best to give the game back to the JagOffs !! Instead of fist pumps I began to tear my hair out and an already bad heart started kicking my ribs !! I wanted Hennings Job !! Ricky Fumbled !!! Chad threw an INT !! What The Fhwaulk are you DOING !!!
But in the End we stopped two 4th down plays and Wake & Randy squashed their QB !!! I Fhwaulking Hated it, but WE WON, WE WON, WE WON !! And that Dudes is what it is all about !!!
GO DOLPHINS !! RUN RICKY RUN !! and, THE TITANS CAN SUCK MAH ORANGE & AQUA BALLS !!
Lets Kick Butt Dolphins!!
Great post as always.....
Does anyone think this squad couldn’t play with any team in the AFC? We gave the Colts all they could handle,CP10 went down against San Deigo and Cincinnati doesn’t strike fear in noone. I think a Superbowl run is improbable but we could play with any team in the AFC for one game… And if we play the Colts that means we made it out of the first round.
This deserves a well said so......
Well put!

Great post Matty,
You can also add our best WR was coming off ACL surgery, D Martin an important piece last year, out, Roth another important piece from last year, out and now gone, we have overcome a great deal, awesome post!
Just 1 thing, the Zach/Taylor Ds have an unfair stigma, the O was like a drag anchor, you can’t stop everybody all the time, when you are consistently a top 10 D year in and year out ,and your O is near the bottom and a turnover machine, what can you do, they had the 3rd best scoring D 1 year and it was still their fault, because they couldn’t stop the O from turning the ball over, lol, I just think it’s an unfair stigma is all.
Well written, and your opinion is sound too, Matty I. I like how this team is coming together and at the perfect time too. Let everyone else give them little or no credit as to how far they have improved. Despite the adversity they endured with key positions going down during the season, they still found a way to rebound. I’d rather be an underdog and not offer up too much game film on what the Dolphins are currently starting to play like.
If Miami’s defense continues to play at the same level and intensity it has done in the last few games, they will certainly be able to keep us in any game. Our offense has shown all year long that they can score against the stingiest defenses, Running and passing now. I prefer to surprise a few teams rather than have them fully aware of what we are going to do to them.
I’m out here on the west coast and the media here seems to be all too ready and willing to discount Miami and write them off as an un-elite, second best team of no-names". This will be a perfect time to unleash what we have recently started to show we can do.
Using a more conventional offensive strategy (which is definitely easier to defend than the WildCat was) they are moving the ball downfield, basically daring defenses to stop them. Miami’s confidence and capabilities are growing with each passing game. Excuse the pun. Go Dolphins!!!
Great post Matty
Can’t argue with anything— this team just won’t call it quits, which is the attitude i love in football. I remember after the buffalo loss, some bloggers wanted to lose out for a better draft pick. If they knew anything about being a true fan, they wouild’ve seen that this team’s attitde won’t allow them to settle for a better draft pick.
This team now had similar injuries as they did when they went 1-15… but unlike before we’re a team playing great football at the right time of the year

Not to sound like a negative Nate but..............
how many mistakes were made?? I mean I would absolutely agree that our defense did everything that was asked of it. However in what way did the offense show that “never say die” attitude Sunday afternoon? I love this team as much as anybody in my family and I am sorry I cant see through you rose colored glasses. But Davone Bess fumbling the ball 2 times and Ricky doing it three times just doesnt say that to me……..thoughts
Why not us!?!?!?!?!?!
-Our Whole Team before every game
that was one game
However in what way did the offense show that "never say die" attitude Sunday afternoon?
what about against New England? Or against Tampa? Or against the Jets on Monday night?
I think the offense showed that “never say die” attitude plenty this year.
Rose colored glasses? You obviously haven’t been around here long enough….cus you’d know I’m far from a homer.
got to love the phins
hell of a post Matty, what a season. cant wait for the next three weeks and whatever comes after those. gonna be lots of fun. lets go phins!!!!!
Can someone tell me why EVERY site still has the Jags as the current #6 seed?
They all cite their better conference record as the reason being, but the first tie-breaking procedure is head-to-head record so I am utterly baffled and its pissing me off not knowing why. Anyone?
Ask last years Cardinals
Getting there(playoffs) is the most important thing after that everyone is 0-0 and its anyones game. Get hot at the right time.

bravo
we aren’t perfect but we are getting better. we are getting better against tough opponents with a young team. we’ve not buckled under adversity. thanks for the post.
Amen Matty!
Dolphins used to start strong and fade in December….what a change of character the New Regime has brought in and accomplished!
A better draft pick???
Haven’t we been shown what the trio can with a crappy draft pick? Do we really need to jump up there in front of Oakland so we can nab Darius Heywood-Bey from them? The sorry teams are always picking first, and they have a team full of number one picks in the draft they paid way too much for and no Super Bowls. Give me the last pick in the first round every time.

Can’t disagree one bit. And further I think that maybe if the Dolphins had used the wildcat this year rather than letting it use them they would have maybe won one or two more games.

Everybody check out the first video on the playoff picture. Our beloved Fins are finally getting the respect we’ve wanted.
