Now if only I could find my post explaining why he would be badass after about a year of off time to rehab the knee.
The Dolphins are clearly not quitting. Last year they started 3-7 and ran off 6 in a row (not against top notch teams, but still, it is the NFL). Mullarky, as I mentioned earlier, should be fired without a doubt. How many times do the Dolphins throw downfield to one of the top receivers in the league...oh yeah...twice. The offensive line surely doesn't help because they can't give Dante more than 2 seconds before he's got to throw it so the plays can't develope, but still...figure out a way to roll Dante out or whatever...something has to give. The reverse halfback pass on the tying two point conversion should be his ticket out of Miami. The Dolphins can't do the basics, what makes him think they can handle trickery? They have attempted two flee flickers in the past couple weeks as well...both went for NO YARDS because the defense is already in the backfield when the ball is handed to Ronnie Brown and he can't pitch it back to Dante. Yeah...good call Mike.
The offensive line is the worst part of the team and that's why they are losing games. If they don't get that squared away, it is never going to get any better. Dante isn't making the mistakes he made in the first two games so that's a good sign...but he's not getting any time to make people forget about the two games prior. He's just doing a lot of dinking over the middle (nice catch on the last drive there Marty Booker) and that is making it look a little better than it really is. The only problem is that when they get in the red zone, the little dinks over the middle are not there, resulting in them having to kick field goals instead of punching the ball in.
Until the offensive line gets fixed it's gonna be a long ass year. They aren't a horrible team when you look at them as a whole, but the offensive line is clearly the most important piece to a winning team and the Dolphins don't have that. Remind me again why they signed Hudson Houck...supposedly the best o-line coach in the league, to that ridiculous contract a few years back? Certainly there hasn't been any reward for that one.
Oh yeah...and Ricky just got injured again. Probably a ruptured achilles, which means he REALLY isn't coming back to the Dolphins next year if that holds up. Hopefully it was just partially lacerated. Somehow the locker room door attacked him, lol. What a disaster he is.
The only thing better would be a chance to beat The Asymmetrical Mustache there.
I thought the Bills were improving the last few weeks - WTF happened?
