Take on tonights Preseason Game
This is what I'm hoping is going down in South Flordia so that my mind will be at ease after watching this last terrible performance by the Dolphins tonight. although I can never call a lose a terrible so lets say BELOW AVERAGE!!!!!!
- They are not putting out the best defensive or offensive calls becasue they are grading out players still.
I dont' know any other way to describe how vanilla the play calling seemed tonight and I am really hoping that just like in practice how specific players were targeted I'm praying the same was done tonight. On Offense the run plays surprised nobody and went nowhere and anyone not named Hartline didn't have a great pass thrown there way (although this could also be blamed on the rain haha).. Can anyone here name a defensive line star on the Bucs? Because they were all made out to look like Pro Bowlers tonight. Once again I'm hoping this is all because we didn't want to show our hand and keep things simple althought it did seem like Tony got pissed and started blitzing every down after the rain delay .. atleast we looked good then. The play calling leads me to these players were getting strong looks tonight: Hartline, the entire secondary, Merling, Starks, Wake and Moses.
2. The O-line was sandbagging in the second half .... well the whole game.
This performance was the worst I have seen, ronnie brown is doing spin moves in the backfield just so he could gain a yard. Is it just me or was Rex Hadnot a better guard than Justin Smiley? It seemed like nothing ever went for a gain to the left. Also is Jake Grove that much of an upgrade over Satele? did the Trifecta out think themseleves with this move? These are some of the first thoughts that go through my head after they coudlnt' produce a first down on a 3rd and 1 against the Bucs 2nd unit D and than on the next drive Polite having to fight for the first. Just gross .... So my thoughts to make me smile are they are tired and didn't care as much as they should have so basically laid an egg. I will forget how they ran and just remeber the Panthers game haha
3. RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
I thought i was the one who has lived in the rain soaked city of Vancouver yet all I have had is sun while every single Dolphins game has had rain or thunder .... when is this ever going to end? I all i want to see is the team play a game in good weather so i don't see another ball sail or more slop play. SOOOOO Happy the first game of the season will be played in the Georgia Dome
On a positive note I did think Hartline looked great and so did the passrush and defense for the most part and to finish this off I do have to ask one of the opposing QB's to please hold on to the ball a second longer so my boy Wake can get a sack .. three games and three QB hits with the ball being thrown away as they are been taken to the ground ARGH !!!!!!

Really? That much
I know it rains in Florida but come on it has been every game so far …. alright I will take it to the bank lol

"check that...the 29th of Feb. this year.....why is that the record day for hits? Did Matty have the Kim Kardashian sex tape or something?"

I was extremely disappointed on the performance.
We should of lost that game, I still can see how we won, with the way we were playing last night. Just horrible. There were only two players who impress me.
Brian Hartline- Even thought he made his sexy catches against the second defense, still very impressive. Bright future for this kid.
Kendall Langford- He was solid. I saw a lot that i liked from him.
Really disappointed if the Buc’s had a better QB, they would of tear us up. Maybe the 3 games in 11 days got to them.

i am not happy we'll be playing ATL soon
Our secondary is not ready for that, and unless they step it up, it’s going to be the Arizona game all over again

Can't wait for ATL
ATL runs the ball very well and I’m more concerned about that. We haven’t really shown the whole package in terms of what the defense and offense will bring to the game. Sometimes the best defense is a great run game to eat up the clock .. wait we still need to work on that too haha
SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY....
With Henne at QB with two minutes to go on our 35 we’re not trying to score and practice the 2 min drill with Henne.
I understand we want to practice game situation, and closing a game on the ground is important. And I understand Hilliard was getting reps to win a roster spot. But Henne need REPS, our WRS need REPS and you can really simulate a 2 min drill like one in a real game.
Henne had mimimal attempts, Turner, London had no attempts… What a great opportunity to get 10 passing plays in and ice the game.
This really baffled me…??

So what? He has to learn....
Why is Sparano being conservative to win a preseason game? It’s the most improrant practice Henne can get. If he’s our man, soon, he need to get reps.
Fast-forward : We’re 7-4 at NE and battling for a playoff spot. A crucial game at a crucial moment. We have the ball on our 30. 1st and 10 and we’re down by 4. CP10 is injured and there’s 1:56 seconds on the clock. In comes Henne: THE FIRST IN GAME EXPERIENCE RUNNING OUR TWO MINUTE OFFENSE- Scares me, really scares me.
Based on your assement, expect the pick and call it a day.
Sorry, but if he’s our back up- it’s situational reps like this that he really needs to work on. I can’t stand by and watch our roster grow, just to have a “franchise” QB in-waiting unprepared to lead our young talented team, …whenever that may be.

I'm not completely sold that he IS our franchise QB, but this neither here nor there
my assumption, take it for what it’s worth, is that Tony just didn’t want any injuries and to get the game over asap. I mean it was friggin 12ish by the time the game was over, they all just wanted to get the hell out of that stupid butt pirate stadium.

Even though Sam Bradford looks like some kind of monkey/rape/human offspring, if he struts his stuff this year, I’d like him.
Worst case we could sign Brett next year ;P hehe

It never occurred to me that the Phins played 3 games in 11 days.
Even when not playing the whole game that seems a tad much.
Armchair QB's always complete the pass and armchair coaches always pick the right players.
Yes, Larry Little is still the man.
Yes the NFL really stacked the deck against the Phins this season..
Starting with the pre season and going from there. Its like they hate that the Phins won as many as they did last year and this seasons layout is payback. Call me nuts.. but I see it that way. I see the convo’s now…….
“the pins? are you kidding me? they won the AFC East? Well smarty pants no good over achievers.. we will show them!” As they create the hardest schedule and pre season dates n such… “there.. we will show them who is the REAL champs around this league”
lol I know.. its not the way it works.. but it just seems like it is with all the Phins bashing.. lack of praise.. lack of respect.. ect.
CP10 is the current leader of this team... respect the man
Henne is the future leader of this team...
Beck could have been.. its a shame he was thrown to the wolves unpreped
