Game Thread: Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts Week 10 Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

Lets go for a 2-game win streak

 

[Paolo305613]

Due to a potential MCL sprain that might be confirmed on Monday, Colts starting QB, Jacoby Brissett could be out for this game. Brian Hoyer would be in line to start.

Feels great waking up in the morning and looking at draft positioning. Bengals looking good to get the #1 pick - they could surely use Tua in Cincy. Surely looks more fitting in Zac Taylors' offensive scheme.

 

[Paolo305613]

Preston Williams is out for the season due to the knee injury he suffered in the game yesterday

 

[Paolo305613]

Mark Walton oficially suspended 4-games stemming from his off-field issues while with the Bengals prior to joining the Dolphins.

 

[Paolo305613]

Robert Nkemdiche released by the Dolphins. Word is tardiness has been a constant issue, and the team has decided this was a necessary move.

Lets see what roster moves the team now makes given this and the Preston Williams injury.

 

[Paolo305613]

Dolphins to have one less official home game next season -- as the NFL has announced that they will be playing in either Europe or Mexico next season. Further details to be released at a later date.

A Dolphins-Tua update that includes the Jets -- and, it is an absolute honor to bring this news/update/rumor:

There is a belief that the Jets, who the Dolphins got their first win of the season against this past sunday -- are thinking about giving Sam Darnold, what some are referring to as the " Josh Rosen treatment". That is, the Jets are thinking about trading Darnold after this season. Furthermore, if the Jets do decide on this plan - they would commit to "tanking" the rest of the season in order to compete for the first pick and find their replacement for Darnold.

Looks like they could use Tua. Though we know Gase has recently become famous for ruining QBs with potential -- even those with limited potential...

Speaking of Tua, he looks to be cleared just about cleared to face LSU this week - he and Nick Satan's team are finally going to face a real opponent -- lets see how Alabama and the refs do against a real opponent.

 

[Paolo305613]

Also of note, Jacoby Brissett could be ready to go this week against the Dolphins - though he could be in a brace for the game.

 

[Paolo305613]

Reading about a lot of talks WITHIN the Fins locker-room that guys are leaning towards Joe Burrow out of LSU.

I think they realize there is a better option over Tua.

LSU faces Alabama and the refs this week, so it will be a good game to watch and do some scouting.

Brissett oficially ruled out of the game - Hoyer to start for the Colts

Tua update: His ankle looks fine - his performance and that of his team, however -- not so great. Or, maybe he is just showing his true-self out there against an actual opponent finally this season.

Joe Burrow update: balling out.

Some of his doubters are talking about his age going into what would be his rookie season. He will turn 23 in December - It is very slightly older than the most common age into starting a career - but I don't think it is so bad. If we were 24 going into 25, id be iffy about him.

Unlike Tua, he looks like a guy that would be ready to start now in the NFL so the age is not much of a factor IMO. What say you?

I'm honestly not a college pro but they both look like very good prospects. Hopefully they both turn out as one is most likely heading to Miami. Although I'd still like to see more of Rosen especially when he learns the offense and the oline playing better. If anything they should keep him to compete as he could still turn out to be very good.

Down goes Tua and Alabama and Nick Satan. Burrow may have just earned himself a first-class ticket to NYC for the Hesiman award presentation.

Fully agree on your Rosen take. I was just posting that for the "Tank for Tua" clowns.

I don't know if you saw the game or not, but Burrow has great vision as a QB -- he identifies the weakness in a defensive coverage/play with such ease and gets his team to the right play quite often. He just has great instincts back there -- he doesn't just throw it around and banking on his talent alone - he has some great fundamentals to work with.

It is getting close to post-season college football - I urge you to watch to do some scouting on some teams/players - a lot of good matchups yet to come and some great prospects all over the place.

I did watch today's game and I would not be disappointed if the Fins took Burrow. Either way they should keep Rosen unless they feel he can't even be a decent back up...

Colts win toss and differ

 

[Paolo305613]

The Bengals remain winless and in prime position for the first pick. They really need it.

And the Fins lose the ball on a fumble after a catch as they were moving down field
