Short passing offense? Short as in Losman short? Or the actual distance the ball is going thru the air? I was mislead all off season.....all these reports coming out of Miami about the Fins keeping that Linehan style of offense intact? Without looking it up, I think they were in the top 5 of passes thrown for over 20 yards......btw, that lightning-quick break thingy, I think that applies not just on short pass routes.....being lightning-quick out of your break even 20 yards down the field prolly puts the DB at a big disasdvantage.
Did this reach safety sign? For 6 years?
Dolphins receivers = HILARIOUS
Bills receivers = ?
You know what, you're right. Why am I even engaging you? You have Mike Mularkey calling the plays and Bennie Anderson on your o-line, it's gonna work out really well dude. I'm excited for you.

Good question, which is probably why he is trying to talk Dan Wilkinson out of retirement.
And what does he expect? His O-Line to allow his starting RB's to average 4.5 y/p/c again? And what makes him think his O-Line will again be in the top 5 of sacks allowed?Good point, I'm sure he signed Bennie Anderson, LJ Shelton and Seth McKinney - all who were booed out of their previous full-time positions - just for depth and not to actually start...
Agreed, especially since he's now running a short-passing offense that requires receivers to be lightning-quick out of their breaks. They don't have a single player on their roster who fits that category. Booker, Campbell, Welker and Hagan is a HILARIOUS roster of no-names. But keep patting yourself on the back, bud.

Maybe he showed up to camp out of shape. They didn't draft a LB until Ellison, so it's possible they expected Posey to be at least a backup. Then again, as many here have already said, Posey was given a lot of chances to make plays and never really did anything to distinguish himself (although the previous coaching staff constantly stuck up for him and insisted that we stupid fans could not understand everything that goes into being a good football player, etc.).
-
You too. Sheesh.
BTW, Allen isn't just a safety - he's an injured safety whose injuries are considered by some to be career-threatening. And the Dolphins may be "contending," but they also have serious needs at o-line, d-tackle, and WR. If you ask me, they should have traded down to pick up Mangold or Sinorice Moss. But, I know you'd rather just blare away on your one note over and over again...

Oh, I get it........"WE'RE DOOOOOMED".
The sarcasm will BEGIN to be funny when it's justified. I hate the Fish, but they have a good coach, they won their last 6 games last year and added a great young QB in the offseason. There is a difference between a rebuilding team not being able to sign their top pick and a contending team not being able to do so. They have bigger fish to fry, so to speak.
Can you lighten up, just a little bit?

I don't get it. You reach for a safety in the first round of the draft, take a guy with unquestionable talent but questionable ability to contribute right away, when you have tons of other holes on your team including offensive line, defensive tackle, etc., and then you can't even sign him in time to let him have a chance to contribute in his first year.
I mean, WHAT IS NICK SABAN DOING?

Do you have any of the following traits:
1) Talk like a surfer
2) Look like a circus midget
3) Functional illiteracy
4) Become briefly petrified/statue like when facing the rush
5) Look like the pillsbury dough boy
6) Powder puff arm
7) million dollar arm with a 10 cent head..
We have had all these since Jim Kelly left--some of them multiple times...just checking.
You have my vote if none of the above apply..
Hmm... I think I may have trait #3, because I can't read the other ones.
Also I tend to lock onto one receiver. If you ask me it's because I'm only practicing with one receiver, but it's still a problem nonetheless.

Oh, don't worry, there still is plenty to B word about:
1) QB "controversy" probably means all 3 QBs suck
2) Kevin Everett is a bust
3) the o-line still sucks
4) the d-line still sucks
5) Marv has fallen, and he can't get up!
6) Bruschi
etc.

That's right, you heard it here first. I have been working out in my bedroom, using Shaolin shadow-boxing techniques. On the weekends I toss footballs with Uncle Rico. The phone has yet to ring, but I am confident it is just a matter of time.

Dude, you should be banned from using the "Clickable Smilies." Seriously, you need help.

No, they drafted the next Chad Pennington.

and is being evaluated. Sorry, no further details given.

This is exactly what I've suspected, thanks - and it's why I think that Levy's hiring may be positive for the organization - subtracting a micro-managing !@#$ and adding a character guy with a winning reputation could be just the kind of shot in the arm the organization needs.
Whether they have the talent or the $$ to compete on the field is a different story, unfortunately...

Mularkey definitely had his problems in year #2, but I think most felt pretty good about him, after his rookie year...there was lots going on behind the scenes that not everyone knows. Mularkey, as Pyrite Gal points out, was a stand-up guy, and was well liked by most of the players, and the Bills front office.
The Losman over Bledsoe decision (not MM's decision) by TD, cost the team, and Mularkey lost credibility with some of the players, because it became clear that TD was calling the shots. Remember when Bledsoe got released, he seemed genuinely shocked, because Mularkey had talked to him about what they were going to do "next year", leaving Bledsoe under the impression that he was going to be a Buffalo Bill in 2005. Then, along comes the about face, and Bledsoe is released.
There was infighting among TD and the coaching staff. Mularkey took playcalling duties away from Clements, not because he had lost faith in him, but because TD was meddling with Clements playcalling up in the booth. MM took the responsibility, because he was growing tired of TD and Clements battling things out, during game, and felt (likely correctly) it was affecting the teams performance. There was already enough confusion with an untested QB at the helm. TD was asked to stay out of the coaches booth, but could/would not. He was the ultimate micro-manager.
Sure, MM's resignation comes off a little weasley, but I think, with a less insane management team, he will do pretty good if he ever gets another opportunity.
As bad as Mularkey's clock management might have been, Gregg Williams gets my vote for worst clock manager of the last 25 years....I feel anoter poll coming on....
Interesting. There it is, embedded in the middle of a seemingly unrelated thread on TSW - the answer to many of my questions about what went down last year. Sounds like you have a source or two - I'm not gonna pry, but please, if you wouldn't mind, divulge as much info as you have about this, because this is the most specific account I've heard (although it matches what I've suspected).
-
1) Do people realize/remember that Levy's first choice was actually Mularkey?
2) That snippet from the article is encouraging - but it's also the opposite of everything I've heard about Jauron - I've heard lots about his POOR clock-management. So, we'll see...
-
Ha! I posted the question AND got it up on TSW faster'n you.

Coach Tuesday: KC, have you gone back and analyzed film of last year's Buffalo-Carolina game? I think you'd find that J.P. Losman made excellent decisions and was very accurate against a great secondary. Just wondering.
KC Joyner: (5:17 PM ET ) I did break down that game and Losman did look pretty good. I have to say that Losman and Lee Evans were one of the best deep pass batteries in the NFL. If the Bills want to play the upside, they will put Losman in the backfield and hope he can gel with the rest of the offense better now that Moulds is in Houston.
