Then technically shouldn't we be blaming Redd Foxx?

No Miami team til 66. The Dolphins team was founded by attorney/politician Joe Robbie and actor/comedianDanny Thomas. They began play in the American Football League in 1966.

My birthday is Nov. 4th 1959, my team is just a tad older than me (I sort of knew this but didn't know the exact date, thanks).

The question is, is he solid at guard?

Terry and Kim are cheap (just wanted to get that done with). I saw much more of Manny Lawson, I think that had to do with containment.

I don't really get why 4-2-1 beats 5-3. Doesn't it make a tie better than a loss or a win?

I could see this. Be tricky but good idea. I presently would imagine that these guys like and want to play together, they would need to sell it right to Dareus. The question is what do you pay 55?

Some of the coaching and GM stuff sounds terrible! A giant NO to Chris Polian. Ex Bills as coaches, since some of them have never coached or been proven as coaches where you put them .... I don't see the point. The waterfront and downtown, I can see a few things happening but only Pegs and Kim have a clue what is going to happen there, plus there is no hurry, I can wait.

Ahh doomed!

Is that kind of like playing with themselves? I think the OP has that covered.

hmmm I think until proven other wise that a team has to have the threat of a good running game, or the D just keys the pass. Balance is still needed, I don't think 50/50 so much but you need the run game and the pass game, they are still parts of football.

Not ever, he is a bad coach! Poison and dumb as a foot. Took a pretty decent team that he inherited and ruined it in 2 years. I have no idea how guys can be good only on one side of the ball but he is only a good DC. I have no idea how he has lasted with the NY market, except most sensible fans there like the Giants. I would hate to hear him on TV too, so I do hope he gets a job in Oak., they are made for eachother.

That maybe the worst graph I have ever seen. why odd numbered games? What are the statistical perimeters (from what I see only yardage)? I do see they say Evans had in the blurb above it but there is a lot missing there. I would like to see Lee's career totals (as he seemed to fall off the proverbial cliff from what I can remember) and compare in a few years. We are talking about different players with different skills.... Except they are stats from their rookie campaign so far.... I mean compare Sammy to Moulds.... or Andre or any one else. You can't yet compare him. Anyway just to chime in on this thread, if Bruce was there in this situation and it cost you 2, 1st and a 2nd you would do it right? The idea behind the trade was that IMO, the kid is obviously projected to be a future HOFer, it was worth a gamble and yeah he isn't a QB. I am excited to see him as a Bill and hope he turns out as advertised. And yea a "Franchise QB" would be nice but that is clearly also a gamble in most instances. I am alright with what we did to get Sammy.

I just started to skim this thread and can't wait to read it all thanks for posting it Bandit, am going to go through first chance I get.

Gotta be better than before, now let's hope Ubrick and Wood stay healthy. Fingerscrossed.

A lot, his line needs to improve a lot though too.

Good, I won't blame the loss on not wearing my royal blue T shirt this week.

Damn you fire Chan, I fire you for bumping this thread, again.

In like sin!

Damn, No CPA or I'm so on this!

Maybe, or you are breaking a board rule... I'd hope you use different IPs if you want to continue with that. If true, it's also true you never grew up. If you don't see momentum as a part of the game none, none at all.

Which makes the real question, why can't CU play guard and BE back up center (just slide him over if Wood get hurt), if he gets hurt playing guard is the only real issue but he doesn't have an injury history so...... what's the deal (also couldn't we get a guard or center FA to put on the practice squad, or do we have one already)? If he thinks our guards are improving, he really hasn't a clue. So I guess that answers that. Doomed (btw maybe by this time in this thread someone already mentioned this, sorry I didn't get a chance to read it all).

I can agree with most of this, decent thoughts. I would like different looks in the run game more pro set and other things I mentioned earlier. I have a problem with running a shotgun with just one back for a few reasons but mostly it is personell not fitting it. This why I mentioned a mid season training camp to install different looks and play options.

I agree Jboys62 he is slow to set his arms, he gets out fast enough (very good hips too) but I think that weakness is even more exposed by the bunch up. The DEs have less space to go around. They have been using TEs and Fred to hit them on the way out the back field but that has been only semi successful. It worked really well in Detroit, no so much since. Haha yolo I never said doomed, they definetly need to adjust much more though if I and a lot of people on here can figure this stuff out. At present they will beat bad teams but may not win against better ones, stuck on a treadmill of futility isn't really doomed as much as heart wenchingly typical. And yes it is about execution, it doesn't need to be simple, it needs to be good, funny thing is I would even think about putting three backs in the backfield with EJ and doing the chickenwing triple T option. I am not sure EJ could read it well enough but if they spread it out a bit, it would hide our weakness and get playmakers the ball (just like Chan tried to do with the brad Smith experiment).

Thanks K9, I still argue they are in that scheme, it just doesn't look like it because they can't execute it. In anycase I would suggest to them to put Ubrick in there and unbunch it a bit.
