Glad Fisher chose the Rams...
And I also like seeing that the owner and gm are actually taking steps to improve the signal caller situation. And there is few better signal callers than Manning. And with the possibility of Flynn, Philbin was his coach in Greenbay and knows his strengths and weaknesses better than most anyone… And if they hire Mike Sherman as OC, draft Tannehill, not many know Tannehill like Mike Sherman who coached him at Texas A&M. Looks like the phins may be on the up and up FINALLY
At least they're in the know....

Atta boy, Omar....
Way to be right on top of things, as always…..
The only reason I watch Jets games is to see if TODAY is the day Rex Ryan's fat heart gives out on him...
Ha!
I posted Schiano to TB 3 hours before Schefter even tweeted it. Go me!

Hold Up
Certainly a gaffe on Omar’s part. But the guy is mostly spot on with his knowledge. I prefer reading his stuff over other beat writers.
I think I agree with VA_Phins_Fan
Wish I could view twitter and link all the posts…
but quite often he says one thing, and then when somethign totally different comes to light…he makes the excuse “Well…that just goes to show you how volitale*sp the NFL can be”….or soemthing to that effect. It happened with the TS firing…it happened with our recent HC search…and I remember this happening during the drafts.
To each his own…lol…you have your opinion…not trying to change it…just sayin…

As you said... to each his own
All of them tweet misguided info. They’re all pressured to get the story 1st. Regarless as to whether it’s accurate or not. Some like to brag about sources that tell them nothing (Armando). Others just like to spew negatives (Berardino/Marvez/Coles). & the rest are spread thin covering the entire NFL (ESPN, etc.) & know nothing about the Dolphins, though they like to sound as if they do.
I’m ‘just saying’ that when it comes to Dolphins, our team, Omar tends to know more & be closer to the truth than most.
You like Channing "Chowder" Crowder too, huh....

Hey now...
I’m just trying to boost my little blogger-ego up closer to that of a professional beat writer. Way to squash it, man! Back to my hole…

Sherman as Miami OC
Looks like sherman is NOT the bucs head coach. Word from Salguero is he should be miami’s offensive coordinator soon. Lots to like with sherman as offensive coordinator.
Someone Philbin can talk to for advice, definately get the west coast offense set up. Miami will have to get someone in house to groom as offensive coordinator as Sherman wants to be a head coach.
What Sherman wants and shitting in the other hand are two different things.
Guess which one is more likely to happen?
lol

4-3 makes good sense
For all that being the number 6 ranked defense seems like – it didn’t help Miami protect leads against teams like the Giants, Cowboys, Browns, Broncos, etc. Certainly Miami had no answers for Brady and the Patriots either. But I seem to remember several poorer Dolphins teams that ran a 4-3 who matched up better with the Pats. I’m glad Nolan is gone, to be honest with you. I just want a defense that can protect late leads and also doesn’t bend over for the Pats every year.
As for QB, I dont think Miami has a choice really. You go after Flynn, and if you fail to get him, you find a way to draft QB in the 1st round. Seriously…just trump all bidders and find a way to trade up and draft QB. Honestly, I think the Manning talk is just talk, maybe even a smoke screen. People have their hopes up for this guy and yet we don’t know if he’ll ever play again. You’d think Miami of all teams would have learned to avoid the landmine that is signing a stop-gap QB. Let someone else get Indy’s trash while we keep an eye on the next decade.
I love how the Towel Throwers and Henne haters are quickly silenced by the smallest modicum of success. Here's a thought: You'll never appreciate the successes unless you believe and support them when they're supposed to be down. I don't care how entitled you feel that you are to your negativity, a person that boos their own team is simply a jerk.
Miami defense
was great at shutting down the run, making teams one dimensional. Especially if we scored, taking them out of their gameplan. The flaw in our scheme came in two forms….
1. Conservative offense once we got in a comfortable lead
2. Our secondary failed to pull their weight at that point.
3. You could even throw in 3rd point of defensive playcall in pass plays in the 4th with a lead, not as aggressive.
Fix these problems (half of which fixed by default with coaching change) and those close games tilt into our favor. Especially continuing to score instead of nursing leads. We continue to play hard on defense and play to score on offense, we win the games against Denver, Dallas and second games against Pats and are AT LEAST 9-7 and second in our division.

Miss the misery.

So turn it on again.
Don't change your mind.
You're wasting light.
