Game Thread: Week 6 Miami Dolphins - Tennessee Titans Game Thread

[Southieinnc]

So a RB should get 100 yards with only 8 carries? I put that on the coaches game plan no?

When I put Vernon on the spot for playing undisciplined and under performing I'm a clown. Right now you are looking like a clown because the one constant here is a coaching change and better results. Glad you aren't the owner we'd have Philbin resigned for another 20 years! Losing forever...

This is pretty funny. Miami playing well first time this year and Paolo wants Philbin back. Delusional?

theres something we often see - fins inefficient on offense on one drive puts the defense in a bad spot and we give up points to give the lifeless Titans reason to believe again with 15 more minutes yet to play

 

[Paolo305613]

I expected more out of Cameron today - hasn't happened

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins taking steps back as the 4th quarter goes on - finding ways to try to blow this one? thats not new

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Both Wake and Vernon haven't played up to par until this game - Suh's ineffectiveness has played a role

Wake and Suh have been getting the double teams leaving Vernon one on one yet you give him a pass? Wake has also been hurt...

 

[Paolo305613]

Good pick now have to do something with it

I can't figure out what he's thinking? Coaches are more important in football than any other sport as they game plan and call the plays. You can see Campbell all over this game...

 

[Paolo305613]

Titans players continue to collapse injured - the Fins need a kill shot on this drive

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Run opens everything else up...the D has also done a better job stopping it.

 

[Paolo305613]

Good TD for Dion Sims - another under the radar guy - injured since after week 1 - he is still an up and coming player but is very capable and his absence contributed to a lot of our struggles on offense in previous weeks as much as anything else

 

[Paolo305613]

A good win - some good things shown and still some things to fix as always. Good or bad, no reason to overreact about the result as I have been saying all season long - its just one game - gotta do it again next week and even more so weeks after that against tougher competition.

Agreed but to say Campbell hasn't had any affect is ridiculous.

Please show me where in my post do I say such a thing. NEVER misinterpret my words - if I say something, it is because I truly meant it and believe it. Otherwise I don't say it - If I don't say something directly don't suggest I did.

Either way, its just one game, against a banged up team that is slightly worse than we are - lets see them do this throughout the course of the remaining games and against tougher competition - lets wait to see that before we put a Halo on Campbell.

Good to see Cameron get involved late - expected him to be more involved early and often but hope we see that in coming weeks

 

[Paolo305613]

Another positive of today - it seems we leave this game pretty healthy

 

[FanofPelicans]

Congratulations Dan Campbell on his first win as a head coach. Good win for the Fins players & the coaches. If they play like that against other teams it could get very interesting this season. There is a lot of talent on the team.

Cam Wake said "We're the same guys, running the same things. Just doing it better, more together."

via Dolphins Beat writers post-game - this from Cam Wake, one of the team leaders overall and on defense. Taking accountability as players - that was the only thing missing in previous weeks. This has to be the mentality the rest of the way - win, lose or draw - otherwise such a thing will in fact break a locker-room the way some have suggested would happen under Philbin

Paolo the locker room did break as the players lost faith in Philbin. You must have never played sports. Of course the players have to play but when they are demoralized that's what happens when team falls apart. Doesn't help when Philbin didn't get rid of Coyle when there was a clear disconnect with his players. You also can't allow 80% pass plays as a HC and not do anything about it. Campbell fixed this in one game...

Didn't watch game or see any highlights yet, but heard on twitter that the Fins looked way different today; energy, drive, desire, etc. Wish they had started season and kept that help. Good win, hopefully they can keep it going.

When did you become a Dolphins insider/beat reporter? Or become so important you have gained access to the team behind closed doors to know this to be a fact? its just pure speculation on your part - and a false narrative people often use to place blame on a coach - it happens with all teams in every sport - its just another way to make the coach the scapegoat and give the players a pass.

Campbell fixed this in one game..

Cant wait to see what you will say when they hit the first bump on the road with Campbell as coach - because you know its coming - when they face a good team, adversity will arise

You don't need any inside information to see what happened here. The whole world knows but you apparently. Of course the players need to perform but when a coach sets his team up for failure you can't blame only them. The best example is running only 20% of the time how is that the players fault answer me that.

If in fact it was the players how did they magically turn it on today?

No one is expecting Campbell to go undefeated but if he gives them a better chance to win each week it’s better than the previous regime no? A balanced offense and better run D is already an improvement over Philbins plan. Do you disagree?
