The dolphins....yay or nay this year

[Southieinnc]

"As the Bears and Dolphins met for the first of two joint practices ahead of Saturday's preseason opener, it was their defenses that shined. According to multiple beat writers, both teams looked better on defense than offense, which makes sense given the reputations of both defenses. The Bears defensive line dominated the Dolphins offensive line during 11-on-11, which made things difficult for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Khalil Mack looked like the best player on the field, and Akiem Hicks and Bilal Nichols also were impressive. Oh, and by the way, the Bears were without nose tackle Eddie Goldman and still dominated.

OLB Khalil Mack destroyed the Dolphins"

“And for the sake of transparency, I don’t like what I’m seeing from this offensive line.”​

This shouldn’t be a major surprise to anyone, Miami has brought mostly young and unproven, or inconsistent veteran offensive linemen to camp this year. Even if this group is able to pull it together and have a successful season (a very possible outcome), it will take some time to get there. The only problem is that Miami is in win-now mode. They have a young quarterback coming into his own, a top-5 defense (with X), and have spent ample resources to bolster their receiving corps. The fans, coaches, players, and ownership expect to win.


I have written before that the offense will only go as far as their offensive line can take it, and that remains true. If the team is held back by the offensive line, the fans and media will know.?

Dolphins add another non-performer on the offensive line.

I think it's a good move with little risk although they need to figure out who's starting and let them have time to gel. I expect them to look a lot better against Atlanta.

I expect your O-line to get eaten alive by the Patriots in game 1

Too Little, too late: Who’s to blame for the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line woes?

After Miami’s first preseason game saw the offensive line struggle against a solid Chicago Bears front seven, the Dolphins traded a 2022 7th round pick to the Carolina Panthers for 2019 2nd round...

The blind homer deflection should be great on this one. I can't wait

So far, the 28th ranked O-line in NFL has been shuffled many times. Here are the latest changes.

" In the past three years, Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier has spent a first-round pick, two seconds, two thirds, two fourths and a seventh-round pick on this line. That’s not getting into the free-agent millions for departed pieces like Erik Flowers and Ted Karras."

It's a week into the preseason no reason to panic. They're just figuring out the perfect setup and then it will be go time.

It's called rebuilding.....comprende?

The 1/2 century rebuild continues...

When I rebuild a wall. I don't lay a few blocks and then at the end of each day knock them back down.

“You have to stack practices on top of each other, stack quarters on top of each other, stack plays on top of each other, stack games on top of each other. So, it's not good enough to come out, play a good game one day, compete the next day and play a little bit better than okay and play bad the third day."

 

[BigKen]

What else is new with the patsies

How about an update?

Patriots are 2-0 in the 201 preseason. They have a bulldozer running game and while they don't have the front page WRs, they're catching passes and moving the ball.

Patriots defense.......................3 INT, 3 Forced Fumbles, 7 sacks


Dolphins......0-1, not much else.

 

[BigKen]

Oh yeah, the offense had 500+ yards last night against the Eagles.

When was the last time that the Dolphins had a 500 yard game? Marino era?

You make absolutely no sense since the Fins stripped down the team to rebuild they have shown constant progression. I guess they need to have a better record than the patsies for some of you to acknowledge this....oh wait!

Only a patsie could get excited about beating the eagles in a preseason game...

 

[Draft Crazy]

Legit playoff contender, imo. Not a super bowl contender but headed in the right direction.

Flores is REALLY good.

Please clarify what decade this progression was in? They're getting close to the 6th decades of stripping down and rebuilding.

Take a look at that 2nd paragraph again, since it is a quote from one of your coaches. Makes no sense?
