Forum: Miami Dolphins

In our last preseason game against the Falcons, where "Brandon Marshall" made, what I thought was a catch, then coughed it up and recovered by Ronnie Brown, to give us a first down and excellent field position. What the hell happened here...? Here you have a Hall of Fame QB and great wide...

Is Crowder's phantom injury a way to get other players on the field in his position because the coach/staff knows he's on the trading block and working on a trade?

Yeah I know it's cheesy but talk about a bad omen!

Davie, FL (AP) - The Miami Dolphins know exactly how long they have until the opening game, thanks to coach Tony Sparano's new countdown clock hanging in the locker room. This year, when the season starts, Sparano wants his team ready. The Dolphins started 0-3 last year and 0-2 in 2008....

I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for me some football. Who cares if the team has question marks? Remember Pennington going down after an 0-3 start last year? THAT was a question mark. How much fun was it watching Henne light up the Jets defense on Monday night on his 2nd NFL start,...

Imo Chad Henne is not command of this offense, he know's what he wants to do but he doesn't have the ability to make a big play from his posistion, a QB has to be a field general, for example when a play breaks down instead of trying not to make a mistake he needs to be more acertive and try to...

It is official, Chris Cook the Vikings 2nd round draft choice has torn his miniscus. With Quentin Griffeth still on PUP it looks like the Vikes secondary could be in shambles to start the beginning of the season.

Preseason is used to set rosters, evaluate bubble players, etc...and coaches dont typically game plan against the other team. BUT...veterans do play, starters do play, and fans get the opportunity to see the new personnel this regime has brought in compared to the previous years roster and...

Resigning Penny - Was It A Blessing or Curse? IMO, objectively a good argument can be made for both - but if you're on the "blessing side" only it would be only if you truly believe we're a potential SB team. Personally, I believe it's more of a "curse" and would be rooting for him to be...

This means their first team offence might play even the 4th quarter, it would be a could test for the fins

I ran across an app for the iPhone that is super sweet. It is a Dolphins app. It is free and has lots of news, notes, pics, videos, a link to Fins gear store. It's free so check it out. BTW, I love my iPhone. I just got it and I don't know how I lived without it.

The ESPN predictions Have the Dolphins at 7-9 and the Bills at 6-10 the MNF Crew splits the dolphins with 9 wins at Same and Less and The MNF crew has the Bills getting less then 5 wins, which is laughable. O well hopefully the Bills moreso then the Dolphins prove them wrong, but I don't...

1st Series: 1st down - Jerry gets beat (inside pressure, almost everyone got beat!), Henne throws it quickly to Hartline. OL was in total disarray that play. Nice read by Henne. 1st down - Wildcat, 5 yds. Decent blocking. 2nd - Loss of 1. Blocking was not that bad, if Ronnie had bounced...

i know the ussual thing is pre-season week 3 is the dress rehearsal. But, contrary to what many on this board think - the teams play last week was not very good. not good enough for Coach Sparano, and not good enough for Dallas either. Even if we just leave our guys in for the first quarter ...its...

I think back to Dan Marino's 2nd year.. Joe Montana and John Elway.. Entering into their 2nd year, you knew you had a special QB... There was no talk about "he's still learning" "give him time" or "wait until the end of this season before you judge them" These guys took the opportunity to play...

The following question is for our Defense experts on this board: Question: Why don't the Dolphins allow Vontae to always cover the teams best WRs? Currently he's always on the left side. Many teams float their best CB over to where the other teams best WR is. Makes sense. Too often in Miami...

He isnt the best but he can come in and give us a spark every now and again like he did last year in a few games. He came in the game and provided us with decent runs and kept the momentum going, the 2nd Patriots game I believe was one of those times. Trade Thigen, keep White. Thigpen is of no...

In most offseasons, the Dolphins' signing of Brandon Marshall would have been the biggest free-agent news in South Florida. The Miami Heat -- or more to the point, LeBron James -- had something to say about that. But even though Marshall played second fiddle, he won't be considered a second...

On tonight's Sports Xtra Drew Rosenhaus laid a mini bomb by saying that the Dolphins trade of WR Greg Camarillo for CB Benny Sapp had to do with finances. Drew said that Camarillo was passed on the depth chart by both Hartline and Bess and that he was being paid starter money. Miami did not want to...

I think he will be cut outright. He was a mistake, move on. Wow he is tiny. Not since Doug Flutie did I see a quarterback in the NFL actually have to leap into the air to see above his line to throw a pass. You cant even use him on punt returns he will be broke on the first attempt.

Last season, our OC Dan Henning had many reasons/excuses for our team's O to suck. He was confronted with our starting QB going down, and a first time player taking over, a rag-tag/average group of WR's, no production from the TE's, and our starting running back(our most versatile player being...

I hate to say it, but i think Tedd Ginn, will turn into a star in San Francisco. Rather you liked him or not, he did make big plays. He just had bad hands. He is one of the fastest guys, in the nfl. You just don't trade guys, with that type of speed for fifth round, draft picks. I mean the guy is...

As much as I hate to compliment a player on the Jets, you have to admit that Darell Revis is the best CB in the NFL. I'm sure he will sign next week and be ready for the regular season. He would lose too much money sitting out regular season games. Having said that, I think that Vontae Davis...

damn like i keep thinking how good brad smith panned out for the Jets. I mean damn why dont we try him out???? what do we HAVE TO LOSE? what is our plan with this guy? he could be on the wildcat, hes fast and could be a good tricky wr type player..... i could see end arounds to him and then him...

Not sure if its already been posted, but CNNSI.com seems to think (and does a nice write up) that Nolan Carroll is going to be a HUGE player for us in many aspects....great to hear ;) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/john_lopez/08/25/rookie.hidden.gems/index.html

i havent heard anything about the injury. does anyone know?

I just finished watching this game and I am not worried. From the readings of posts, I thought that Henne played bad. This was absolutely not the case at all. Henne was passing the ball well when given time. Dropped passes, a BS holding penalty, a catch and fumble that should have counted, a...

Yea i said it. Yes revis might be a better coverage corner atm but i still believe vontae is the better overall player, vontae has more skills and more playmaking ability. Vontae is not as good as revis in coverage yet but he will be this year or next. Im real glad we got vontae, we got vernon...

Miami's had alot of drops in pre season, if you give Henne 5 of those drops as catches, he's throwing 66% completion. Marshall has had the dropsies no doubt, anyone notice though his avg is 16.6 yards ? Things that make you go hmmmmmmm......

T. LaBoy is getting a lot of pressure for the Niners this preseason. Now I know it's preseason but the dude is coming around corners very fast and fearless. Even knocking out Campbell in the Raider game. He could of brought us vet leadership and maybe another good rusher. Just saying it's Sunday...

Everyone seems to think its a foregone conclusion that we will win our opener vs the Bills. If you look back at history you have to go all the way back to the 2003 season to find us winning in Buffalo's home stadium. In fact we have been dismal there offensively scoring 58 points in 5 losses...

www.twitter.com/OmarKelly www.twitter.com/MikeBerardino I speculate he is done for the year, expect Dolphins to search the waiver wire for a TE. I also expect to only see two TE in their final roster.

Look, The dolphins should use next years 2nd rounder to get Vincent Jackson. The receiver starting opposite of B Marsh needs to make people pay, and I'm not liking any of the guys currently on the roster to be that guy.

From what I saw at the game it looked awful, maybe achillies, no news so far i guess is good news, any news?

I hate the fact that we are in hurry up mode and we still have to fake a handoff and hardly use shotgun formation. It was the same crap that he called when we played the Colts last year!!!!!! Oh yeah that F'n handoff play for Ronnie in the redzone was retarded.......must bemake a wish foundation...

does anybody know, or have speculation, as to why Brandon Marshall wears the white (whatever they are) on his arms during games. i can see if they are on artificial turf, but not natural grass, and they are not even on the elbows. does he have sensitive skin or whats the deal, i dont remember...

I love a lot of draft picks we've had BUT the only problem with some of them is that one has really become a star. That being Long has kept guys off our QB's back and the wall for the wildcat and Polite one yard runs. We need more tho, Henne and V. Davis to become game changers. Maybe Ordick and...

So, was trading down and then taking these two a solid move (along with getting Tim Dobbins)? Or would we have been better off drafting at 12? Maybe Earl Thomas or Dez Bryant. Watched Earl Thomas get a pick 6 last night for SEA and had to think that drafting him would've/could've added one...

So as I was watching the game and looking on the forum I heard and read that Mike Nolan was going to keep the defense very basic and make the players show what they can do individually, to see their play making ability outside of his system. Personally I like it, considering that the first team...
