At least the blocking anyways.This explains the offense, Amirite?
Should be a no-brainer hire for Jim Irsay.
He was probably going to help the defense out on their bump and run coverage.The person in the video is addressing a camera and speaks of missing the person watching, and states that he is snorting the substance before heading to a meeting.
I'm not really a Dolphin fan but I have Ajayi on multiple fantasy teams so I've been stuck watching them a few times this year. I watched the game yesterday and I completely agree on the last paragraph.Focusing on what's happening on the field, Miami's defense looks, dare I say, dominant. Their run defense is a complete 180 from last season. Kiko looks far better at WLB this season than he did at MLB. I think Timmons looks really good as well. He's covering backs out of the backfield and laying big hits in the running game. Maualuga played and didn't look bad either.
Up front, Wake continues to defy time and is on the TB12 regimen. Charles Harris is slowly getting better every game he's out there. He's making his presence felt and came up with a huge sack on third down to essentially seal the W.
There are still coverage concerns in the secondary, but Reshad Jones looks like he's back to 100% after a shaky start to the season. Great heads up play by him to scoop that fumble and take it to the end zone amid the confusion on the field.
The offense is still a complete train wreck. Ajayi is getting hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on nearly every rush. Miami STILL cannot line up and snap the ball without the play clock being at 3 or under. I don't know if that's on players not knowing assignments, or Cutler not communicating effectively, but the majority of these players are in year 2 under Gase. There's no excuse for not knowing where you need to be on the field and getting there quickly.
Gase's playcalling continues to look suspect as hell. Stop with the screens. Stop wasting downs trying to run wildcat plays. I know he's trying to spark the offense, but it's killing drives and I can't remember once in the last two years where they've dialed up a screen and it's made an impact. Just stop.
Finally, Jarvis Landry looks like he does not give a shit out there on the field. For a player that typically plays with so much emotion on the field, he literally looks like he's going through the motions out there. I don't know if he and Cutler just aren't on the same page, or if his contract status is effecting him mentally, but he doesn't look like the guy we've seen for the last three years.
I was thinking "2017 Dolphins: Back on the Rails"Should be a no-brainer hire for Jim Irsay.
Edit: This probably warrants a thread title change.
2017 Dolphins: Whose Line Is It Anyway?
In Week 1 Cutler missed Landry for a wide open TD. Overthrew him on a maybe ten yard route. Cutler immediately took the blame on the field and looked mad he missed the throw. In Week 2, Landry was once again wide open when he ran a post route into the end zone. Cutler seemed like he was anticipating a corner route and threw it to Landry’s right after Landry cut left to the post and was wide open. After that throw, Landry seems to be heated, demonstratively pointing as they were walking off the field. I think Landry has zero confidence in Cutler. I think Landry is partly upset that Cutler’s poor play is effecting Landry and his future contract negatively.I'm not really a Dolphin fan but I have Ajayi on multiple fantasy teams so I've been stuck watching them a few times this year. I watched the game yesterday and I completely agree on the last paragraph.
There was a 3rd down play where Landy ran an out at the sticks and Cutler was a little late hitting him and the defender broke in front of Landry and broke up the pass. Landry's reaction was like he didn't give a fuck at all. Was kind of jarring to see honestly. My immediate reaction was "Holy Shit, he hates Cutler"
What's wrong with track?I was thinking "2017 Dolphins: Back on the Rails"

Wow, there sure are a lot of models in Vegas. I had no idea there was so much work there!The model who released the tape said she did so in response to the Dolphins' anthem policy:

Am I misreading the tone of this post? Yeah, it's probably me.Former coach is married; his wife is a nurse who is involved with addiction issues.

I hope the "model" is enjoying her 15 minutes. She is out of the married clientele business.
Safe side pieces do not exist. Period. It does not matter whether they are single, married, or pros. There is no such thing.
No need to be a scold. According to Sports Illustrated, Foerster and his wife have been separated since 2004. And not sure why the Miami Herald decided to send people to his wife's LinkedIn post, except as clickbait.Former coach is married; his wife is a nurse who is involved with addiction issues.

I am not a marriage counselor, but when asked my advice generally is to try one's best to make things work and avoid if at all possible walkin' on the cheatin' side of town.Am I misreading the tone of this post? Yeah, it's probably me.
FWIW, Greg Bedard on F&M yesterday said "based on some stuff I cannot possibly say on the radio, I remain shocked Foerster was employed by anyone. His issues are well known around the league."
Another dynamite job by the Dolphins HR department.
Meh. I'm sure her career wI'll be fine. I don't think there's that stringent of a vetting process in this line of work.Former coach is married; his wife is a nurse who is involved with addiction issues.

Who’d have thunk that the OLine coach blowing lines before meetings would have a negative impact on the team? First time all season Ajayi wasn’t getting pummeled behind the LOS.This was a terrific win for the Phins. After the Foerster fiasco, it seemed impossible to come back from a 17-0 deficit playing at Atlanta.
With Cutler, it’s a combination of always having poor mechanics but a huge arm and not trusting the O-Line. He’s never been a passing savant but he’s always had enough arm to throw any pass whenever needed. He no longer has the arm to throw a 10 yard wheel route to Ajayi off his back foot, but when he actually sets his feet and fires, he 100% still has an upper tier NFL arm.As maddening and baffling as this team has been all year, a 3 - 2 record compared to last year's 1 - 4 at this point is a welcome sight. That said, they're putting the lie to "it's the journey that matters, not the destination." This journey has been torturous.
One issue that still nags for me above several is Cutler's mechanics. Despite his solid 2nd half, he still seems out of whack. Hopefully a revived o-line will allow him to settle down moving forward, but man is he all over the place.
For some historical context, this is only the second time in the NFL since 1940 this has happened, with this spread (or larger) and halftime deficit (or larger). The other time was 10/18/87. It was also -17 at the half, also involved the team up 17 with a -12.5 spread, and involved Atlanta. However, the shoe was on the other foot as the Falcons came back to beat the Rams, 24-20.Also just for perspective, Miami was a 12.5 point underdog going into this game. [A]nd to comeback from a 17 point deficit at the half is monumental.
That’s a really cool stat; thanks for sharing it.For some historical context, this is only the second time in the NFL since 1940 this has happened, with this spread (or larger) and halftime deficit (or larger).

With the swirl of adversity surrounding the O-line since ....forever, this was a surprise. Doesn't fully capture its overall performance during that time, I realize, but it does induce a fresh perspective and a degree of optimism.Since Week 6 of the 2016 season the Miami offensive line has allowed 23 sacks, and that is tied for the second fewest in the NFL during that time.The Steelers’ line has allowed 22 for the best mark in the NFL.
I don't think Moore can be ignored any longer. Yesterday's performance aside, this is a guy who has continually stepped in and produced when called upon, in circumstances that were less than ideal. His success has occurred within 3 coaching regimes; and in all of these instances, he's at one point or another out-produced the starter. How good is Moore? I don't know. But I'm at least comfortable enough to call him a solid QB who is capable of making big plays, especially when surrounded by a capable supporting cast.Matt. Fucking. Moore.
The offense comes alive for Moore. He looks 1000% more comfortable running the offense than Cutler ever did.
